I guess you can get addicted to the same judge putting your ass in jail again and again and again..... :yo:People get addicted to alcohol and drugs. Is it possible to become addicted to a person?
He and Jian Ghomeshi should pair up and do a politically-incorrect radio show like Howard Stern's. Just hope Bullard learns his lesson and sticks to escorts.Yup, its called stalking.

If it turns out that the allegations are true I would never see him given his past behaviour towards a woman.He and Jian Ghomeshi should pair up and do a politically-incorrect radio show like Howard Stern's. Just hope Bullard learns his lesson and sticks to escorts.
Would you see Jian Ghomeshi?If it turns out that the allegations are true I would never see him given his past behaviour towards a woman.
Admittedly I didn't follow his case so don't know specifics, but given his acquittal I most likely would. If approached by him I would do some research of my own first and given the situation would want some assurance in the form of a reference from another provider or two. I'd like to think my "Spidey Sense" would kick in during the vetting process.Would you see Jian Ghomeshi?
I have been interviewed by her once and she sure is one hot milf. Seemed like a decent and smart person too. Luckily I get to fuck women twice younger than her whenever I feel like it and so hopefully I will never become obsessed with her nor any other woman for that matterI've interacted with Cynthia Mulligan on a business level and she is one hot milf, a beauty, can't say that I blame Bullard for being obsessed with her.
A trial date has been set for former NEWSTALK 1010 host Mike Bullard.
He'll face a judge over criminal harassment allegations next April.
A three-and-a-half day trial will see the court review evidence and testimony in Bullard's case, but it isn't clear yet whether or not the ex-radio personality plans to take the witness stand in his own defence.
Bullard was first charged last fall on allegations he stalked an ex-girlfriend after the two split up.
Allegations that he's been breaking the conditions of his bail have been piling up ever since.
Bullard now faces a total of 11 charges, including criminal harassment and obstructing justice.
William Halkiw, Bullard's lawyer, told a judge on Friday that his client has been out of work since he was dimissed by Bell Media in the wake of the allegations.
Bullard has spent the last month living with sureties in Beeton.
A hearing set for next week will review his bail conditions
Wouldn't have even been probation -- peace bond.Trial date set, and he now faces a total of 11 criminal charges. If he wouldve just laid low and kept his mouth shut this whole thing wouldve gone away with probation or something like that. Now he's in even bigger dogdoo:

After I broke up with her, one of my ex girlfriends texted me a whole bunch of times hoping to get back together. At first every couple days, then every couple of weeks. Even a couple years later I would get a text now and then.Why? If there are 100's of text messages (as alleged), presumably these would be very easy to prove. The Crown simply prints them off and shows them to the judge. After 3 months in the system, the cops have done enough basic prep for the case to know if the messages are there or not. It's not a he said / she said.
Fuck me, you actually made sense for once with this post.After I broke up with her, one of my ex girlfriends texted me a whole bunch of times hoping to get back together. At first every couple days, then every couple of weeks. Even a couple years later I would get a text now and then.
Was I harassed?
Sometimes I think these things are overblown. Clearly Mike should have dropped it after the police contacted him -- just because of the way our society is. But unless there was anything threatening or menacing in his text messages I don't think the volume or frequency of them should give rise to criminal charges. I know they do. That's the way we made the law -- but maybe we got it wrong.
Another example -- in the early days before we were married and just after we were married my wife and I had a lot of awful fights. Sometimes she threw a lot of stuff around. Sometimes she stormed out. A few times I yelled at her too. Nobody got hurt but a lot of property got damaged. Eventually we figured out how to accomodate one another and since then--15+ years of marriage. But what if she had called the police? Then they would have forced us not to talk to each other, probably helped her get a peace bond, and we never would have resolved our issues, and 15+ years of marriage would not have happened.
Maybe we aren't recognizing human relationships for what they are -- messy, and almost never according to the rules. It seems the laws we have imagine people are far calmer and far more rational than any actual human being is. No one fits the model the courts imagine.
That said, there's certainly a problem with women ending up dead or badly beaten because a guy who can't control his emotions reacts after breaking up. We've indexed on trying to make sure that never happens, but we've undervalued making messy relationships work out. In simpler times when a couple had a huge fight their inlaws, or some village eldar, or some parish priest, would sit down with them and force them to work it out. And I can't help wondering if in the end they were happier, than sitting alone, safe and secure in the knowledge that a peace bond was keeping them from having a sometimes stormy relationship.
Is this one of the reasons why we are de-populating? All our social institutions seem designed to make it easier for couples to fail. I'm sure you like that -- you're a divorce lawyer. But maybe a lot of people would be better off if they knuckled down and did what it took to make their relationships work out, rather than running to the police or the courts or whatever at the first sign of any minor incompatibility in the relationship.
Maybe next time a furiously arguing couple call police instead of helping them get a peace bond, the police should sit them down with a counselor who helps them try and stay together, but with a little less drama.
This almost completely reads like my life's storyFuck me, you actually made sense for once with this post.
I agree that human beings forming couples can often times lead to very insane behaviour from 2 otherwise very sane people. Wise judges in the legal system realize this.
I think back to one ex GF I had. We lived together for several years and our time together was often explosive. The woman had a Phd in Engineering and an MBA. But when she got upset, look out, she could go ape on you. Fists swinging, and a full on frontal attack. She was actually pretty strong too. Anyway, sometimes I think it was a miracle the cops weren't called by the neighbours. It happens. In my life, I've had 3 girl friends physically assault me. (No, I've never called the cops and no I've never hit them back, and no, I wasn't hurt at all (though with Ms. MBA, we certainly got into push and shove together.) I think there's a big difference between a couple where an argument escalates and goes orbital and the guy who comes home from work and just takes out his frustrations by beating his wife. (Or vice versa for that matter)
Simply sending texts to an ex is not a harassment. Harassment is if it causes you fear for safety (criminal harassment) or if messages annoy you (harassment by communication, which is a different section of the criminal code). So if the messages don't scare you and if you haven't given a notice to stop because it's annoying then you are probably enjoying the messages and all is good.After I broke up with her, one of my ex girlfriends texted me a whole bunch of times hoping to get back together. At first every couple days, then every couple of weeks. Even a couple years later I would get a text now and then.

I'd take this bet. If he read it he would surely be stupid enough to write something and no message in this thread looks like he wrote itHow much you wanna bet Bullard has a Terb handle, and how much you wanna bet he's reading our posts right now :biggrin1:
I wanna put the emphasis that Bullard PROBABLY has a Terb handle......LOL.
Just sayin :beguiled:
Well, if he is one of us my perspective changes on him!How much you wanna bet Bullard has a Terb handle, and how much you wanna bet he's reading our posts right now :biggrin1:
