While it is a common activity among 20 to 40 year olds +, events where alcohol is a central focus may not provide an ideal atmosphere or solid foundation upon which quality, lasting friendships and relationships can be built. It is often challenging for those of us who don't drink to find opportunities and venues where we can socialize with like minded individuals. This g …

Not a political party, not an organization — an organically growing, non-partisan movement brewed up by Democracy Watch. If Canadians spent as much time writing politicians about their concerns as they spend buying, making and drinking coffee, we would have the good, democratic governments and responsible big businesses we want. Politicians get very worried if only a few hundred voters write to them. Unlike the Tea Party movement in the U.S., the CoffeeParty.ca movement is pushing only for well- …

This group was made to find and connect people with a similar view on life. The view being that life is pointless, but it's ok that it's pointless. Just cause life is pointless doesn't mean that you have to be miserable and not want to live any more... You are a human, and humans enjoy and love certain things... The meaning of life has no effect on what makes you happy and what doesn't .. It's just a "being realistic" kind of view, since there is no good reason for a person to believe otherwise. …
