hey guys im filling in for pandalove. on behalf of his duties i'd like to comment in an equally awesome way by saying that the skytrain is a conduit for criminals, therefore, it would not be unreasonable to dub it the "crimetrain"

It doesn't matter if they learn Chinese. Chinese people just won't give money. They don't give money to schools and hospitals and crippled old beggars, so I wouldn't expect them to give money to bums either.

skytrain is great for richmond - shite for anyone south of richmond
i'm now back in my car as i can't stand the bus/skytrain - there was nothing wrong with the nice luxury coaches that were used for ladner/tsawwassen/white rock - they were always full...
now, more cars on the road from these areas
fuck you gregor, you're a twat! (nothing to do with the skytrain, but i just hate him)

most hobos are just fucking lazy. why do they deserve handouts? the safety net in Canada is more than sufficient for getting back on your feet
chinese culture heavily believes in hard work, with a lot growing up in competitive 3rd world conditions... rest assured they won't have sympathy for no bums
chinese culture is also heavily against drug use
you do the math
but reading your statement it seems like chinese people are just born with a very cruel human nature... its innate and ingrained in our dna

The Canada line is a part of skytrain. Skytrain is the brand that is used for the entire rapid transit system.

Took the Canada Line today for the first time. Convenient for those who needs it.

Since you're cursing it, do you have issues with all 3 lines of the Skytrain? I thought this thread was about the Canada Line that's been operating for 2 weeks, not for 24 years.
oops caps lock off.

Who said anything about bums deserving handouts? I fucking hate them, and will never give them money. Don't think that I am defending these poor bums living in Richmond, where cruel Chinese people will never give them money.
As far as Chinese people not donating to good causes on the street, it's a personal observation I've made after living in Hong Kong on and off for 5 years (and the last 3 years straight). When I see people trying to raise funds for schools, charities, hospitals, senior centres, you should see what these poor fuckers have to do to try to get people to pay attention to them. Sometimes I feel so bad for them that I'll give them some money, even when I have no idea wtf they are raising money for. I am not saying Chinese people are "evil" and will not donate money at all. Maybe they do, I don't know. But from what I have observed (and you come across this a lot in Hong Kong), it's almost impossible to get an HKers attention long enough to get them to donate money on the street. And bums have it even worse, being bums and all. 
Next time try to make sure you interpret posts properly before you start to put others down.
