Seriously... kites... that's where the cultural battlelines are being drawn? ban ban ban
-- TORONTO -- The city has summarily banned all kites from Milliken Park, a 32-hectare green space and unofficial home of a game that sees skilled kite-masters manoeuvre their flying contraptions to slice their opponents' strings. Every weekend, dozens of mostly Afghan-Canadian families flood the park to barbecue, picnic and watch the thrust and parry of the kites, a sight that reminds them of home.
It's not like the center of the universe has any bigger cultural fish to fry, huh? 

 You can't work out a compromise over flying kites... then Hogtown is well and truly f@cked

COMPASSIONATE INTELLECTUAL LEFT RESPONDS:
"The more time I can time(sic?) you responding to my every word, the less chance there is you'll be driving the sideroads of the Belleville area in a drunken stupor."
Yeah... maybe you wanna try that again with smaller words, huh?
