introductions

Hi from "Edzell" in Port Alberni, BC

Edzell — Sat, 10 Dec 2016 00:49:22 +0000

Hello.

I've looked at a few forum sites and so far this is one of the most civil ones I've found (with the exception of some devoted to gardening :).)

I hope for very open-minded civil discourse on a wide range of subjects, emphasising curiosity & exploration of ideas rather than debating fixed positions & polarised ideologies, with which I'm thoroughly fed up. Not too keen on the use of labels although they have some convenience if their meaning is clearly defined/undrestood. Interested in philosophical discussion & amateur psycholgy but not as academic disciplines - "homespun", even a bit naive, is good.

Hello from Mobo2000

Hi all,

Long time lurker looking to make the transition to semi-regular poster. I've been reading rabble and babble, avidly, for over 10 years. My politics is largely focused on issues of class/poverty/labour rights and anti-war, but Rabble and babble have helped me expand my horizons a bit, I hope.

For the oldtime posters here, I wanted to mention I went to highschool with Audra, and I miss Slumberjack, Maysie and Cueball.

I've been hesitant to post here in the past, but I'm trying to get over it. In this age of Trump, I feel something of a duty to get better at talking with/listening to people with whom I disagree. So I'm here to practice.

Here's a little bit about me:

First babble post from a democratic reform activist!

andrewwarren777 — Thu, 17 Nov 2016 22:42:07 +0000

I am an open minded democratic reform enthusiast always searching for a better way to select leaders and keep them accountable to the needs of the majority (at least) and preferably the legitimate needs of all citizens. I'm a fan of proportional representation but have reasons to think we should think carefully about what kind of proportional representation we want.

I started being interested in politics late in life but an event I found so despicable and Albertans appeared to be completely oblivious and just rolled over on it. I wanted to rant from the rooftops shake people to wake up and join me in getting these people out of office. Unfortunately I'm a definite "B" type personality and typically not very good at cojolling the people to take a stand. I hope here I'll get some pointers.

Hi from Montreal

Retired dairy worker, my psychiatrist says Jim you need to do more activity so i joined the YMCA and joined this forum.

New here, author and debater from Sweden

mseder — Sun, 07 Aug 2016 17:44:37 +0000

My name is Mats Sederholm living in Sweden, Europe.

I'm a writer, speaker and chronicler and a system critics who, for the past 20 years, have been analyzing the power structures and standards of the West - my driving force is a strong belief in humanity and in a kinder society.

Personal political opinion: None, left the ordinary left to right or democratic to republic span of political identities 15 years ago as politicians are administrators of status quo rather than visionary and I want a change.

App for android tablets

Krystalline Kraus — Mon, 29 Feb 2016 18:40:10 +0000

Is there an app for an android tablet?

Is there anyway to change your username?

an_unashamed _Liberal — Wed, 23 Dec 2015 22:35:41 +0000

My username currently is an_unashamed_liberal, i meant this as a way to say that I am proud to be a leftist, since liberal, has at times been used synonymously with leftist, but I now see that it could mean that i am a supporter of the Liberal party, who despite me voting for in this recent election, are not my chosen party, so is there anyway to change my username?

A Canadian Citizen looking to get serious

DimmedDiamond — Mon, 23 Nov 2015 14:32:37 +0000

Rabble.ca is one of my first out reach attempts to gather information, and join/cultivate like minded people that want and can limit the impact of people who steal from Canadians, cause violance towards Canadians, and who steal and cause violence (wars, coups, etc) to others on behalf of Canadians ("elected" officials preying on other countries).

If anyone has any material or links to other forums where people share information on how to prevent theft/violence from our rulers, please share.

I hope the rabble organization/community can be as helpful as it seems.

fyi: if this account seems dead in the future, still feel free to PM. I will eventually check it, and appreciate any resources forwarded.

Young software developer

totesmagotes — Tue, 21 Jul 2015 03:03:00 +0000

Hi there, I'm a young software developer, I'm a proponent of electoral reform, esp. proportional representation, I'm a democratic socialist, an environmentalist, and a skeptic. I'm also a gamer, and I have an interest in game development. I once posted to the boards a super long time ago, but that was so long ago, I might as well be a new user.

Lurking no more

Precademic — Tue, 30 Jun 2015 16:06:15 +0000

Hello Babblers,

After a few years of lurking the Babble thread, I decided to join in. I teach political economy, write books, am strongly pro-union, and have worked on NDP campaigns so if you prick me, I bleed orange.

About 20 years ago when I was first legally allowed to vote, I did vote Liberal. I was young and foolish, so hopefully that won't be held against me!

So, hello from London, Ontario.

Hello Sisters & Brothers
