@Bell_Support Glad to hear that service has been restored for these customers.

But @Bell and @Bell_Support, when did you decide to stop offering internet service in postal L5C Mississauga?

Day 5 of the internet outage is beginning to feel intentional.

@TheophanesRex Unfortunately, I do not agree. It would have sufficed to point out the person was not an international student.

@decollins1969 💯

[Alex_Pereira @AlexPer66005964]

@sgbuggs I feel this.

A great book stays with you. Years later, the characters, the trials and tribulations remain engraved on one's conscience. Bless the authors who create these great works. #WritingCommunity

@PublicShawnelle This sounds nihilistic.

[Alex_Pereira @AlexPer66005964]

@PublicShawnelle Then we may have a fundamental disagreement, whose resolution may require food and drink.

[Alex_Pereira @AlexPer66005964]

@PublicShawnelle Because, any end of life in a civilized society takes place in a legal context. No person in society is an island.

If one started from the premise that life had no intrinsic value, imagine the violence that would ensue.

[Alex_Pereira @AlexPer66005964]

@PublicShawnelle Sure, but who gets to make that decision?

[Alex_Pereira @AlexPer66005964]

@PublicShawnelle No one would doubt there are evil people in the world. But to me, the question is to what extent society should condone a person taking one's own life. I feel that life has intrinsic value and that sound public policy dictates that legally sanctioned suicide be a rare event.

[Alex_Pereira @AlexPer66005964]

@PublicShawnelle Those folks are yikesy. I was thinking of an example in the context of right to die?

[Alex_Pereira @AlexPer66005964]

@PublicShawnelle I am very open-minded, and I think I would need an example to reflect on?

[Alex_Pereira @AlexPer66005964]

@PublicShawnelle I wouldn't characterize it that way. End of life is in irreversible decision. But, there are circumstances to justify it. Suicide generally is a tragedy. Its implications transcend the individual. To save a life is to save a world. The opposite is also true.

[Alex_Pereira @AlexPer66005964]

@PublicShawnelle And, I don't see how one could posit an amoral position on this issue. The sanctity of life is one of the pillars of civilized society. It is veritably a precondition to a social contract.

[Alex_Pereira @AlexPer66005964]

@PublicShawnelle I don't think so. There is a large chasm between gay equality and the right to die.

[Alex_Pereira @AlexPer66005964]

@PublicShawnelle Absolutely, once I figure out how to fit it into the character limit. 😂

[Alex_Pereira @AlexPer66005964]

@PublicShawnelle No, I would be unable to support it in that instance, on policy grounds. I feel that a person's decision to end their own life should be a rare exception to the policy of supporting decisions consistent with life.
