I just returned from the coffee shop around the corner working on LSAT logic games.

Cafe Americano no cream no sugar is the best.Eww. I like coffee with lots of cream, no sugar.

Wait, that's basically a cafe au lait.
And charity donation should be 100% voluntary. They force us to give enough as it is in the form of taxes.Government itself should be privatized.

[The Stig]

I should be CEO.

[Iskandar]

I should be CEO.Lol.

[Mr. Ron]

this is exactly what i refer to^
you guys just dont get what i mean

of course it wouldnt hurt him, and it would be nice to have slack taken up by the richer, but according to your position on other threads, this is unfair treatment, i'm calling bullshit, its just unequal and hypocritical according to how you express your feelings in other threads

Not to me. I think people who make more should pay more. It makes sense. They can afford it.

[The Stig]

Hey I think people who earn more than me should buy my coffee and pay for my LSAT they can afford it.

[Mr. Ron]

Now you're getting it!

[Iskandar]

Lol, libertarianism.

[The Stig]

Hey if I can freeload off of people maybe this left wing stuff isn't so bad.

I need a catalytic converter in the BMW because they put in rebuilt ones that broke and we didn't know they weren't new...

I can go out of state for law school now.

I can post on the internet all day and get paid.

[Iskandar]

Hey if I can freeload off of people maybe this left wing stuff isn't so bad.Now you're getting it!

there's some type of martial arts school like 4 blocks from my house ill see if they have open mat time

unless

you wanna come back to my place *plays with hair and stares at ground*

[Against Miik!]

[The Stig]

dude you're not bad looking ffs

If I were good-looking I'd have more success with women. I'm not nearly the asshat in real life that I can be on the forums; some people think I'm actually nice. So yeah.

[Mr. Ron]

[Iskandar]

If I were good-looking I'd have more success with women. I'm not nearly the asshat in real life that I can be on the forums; some people think I'm actually nice. So yeah.It's because you seriously lack confidence.

Also, you're weird and into flight simulators and Blur and ****.

Maybe you should attend your university's Objectivist club meetings and persuade a sci-fi geek that it's in her rational self-interest to fellate you.

[Mr. Ron]

If I were good-looking I'd have more success with women. I'm not nearly the asshat in real life that I can be on the forums; some people think I'm actually nice. So yeah.

You'd be more successful if you had more confidence, looks are almost secondary to confidence.

[Reaganista]

look, lets just touch penises and be over with it.

thank god

[Against Miik!]

whats wierd about Blur and flight simulators?

[The Stig]

I don't like the prospect of blowjobs remember.

Maybe that's the problem...

And I'm not one of those people who won't talk to anyone because I'm not confident enough. I'm shy yeahm but not to the point I don't ask people out at all. I just chronically hear no as a response.

And it's not like I go around talking about FS or Blur when I first meet someone. If I'm joking with someone I know well it's one thing.

[Amit]

whats wierd about Blur and flight simulators?

nothing just like there's absolutely nothing wrong with collecting anime collector's edition plastic crap or playing dungeons and dragons

[Iskandar]

I just trimmed my beard so I look better now. But still no pics.

I don't have any at hand.

[Reaganista]

[Mr. Ron]

I used to play D&D about 3 years ago. It seriously didn't have any effect on my social life at all, it was just somehting I did. You can have "nerdy" things you do and still not be a social outcast.

Well I had a GF at the time so I guess a few times a week

[Iskandar]

My dad threw out my Legos when I was six.What an asshole. No wonder you turned to Objectivism for comfort.

[Mr. Ron]

woah, totally missed that post, Paul. LEGO is good memories. I had the millennium falcon set. :reminisces:

[Reaganista]

Well I had a GF at the time so I guess a few times a week

i dont understand
are you saying you wouldve had more or less nerdboy sex without a gf

[Mr. Ron]

i dont understand
are you saying you wouldve had more or less nerdboy sex without a gf

probably less if I didn't have a gf on hand

but who knows.

[Iskandar]

woah, totally missed that post, Paul. LEGO is good memories. I had the millennium falcon set. :reminisces:I still do. It's in my drawer. I have an X-wing too.

Ah, memories.

[Mr. Ron]

Do you take it out once in a while, strip down to your undies and fly around the house with it?

I do.

ummmm i dont get it

[The Stig]

I just had plain legos no fancy kits.

I'm really glad he didn't throw away my Matchbox cars, though...Those were my favorite toys when I was a kid.

[Mr. Ron]

ummmm i dont get it
like
3 ways??

She actually asked if i wanted to have a three way

it never happened though.

[Reaganista]

i dont think a 3 way should count as nerdboy sex if there's a girl involved

[Mr. Ron]

i dont think a 3 way should count as nerdboy sex if there's a girl involved

so gay nerdboy sex

[Iskandar]

Do you take it out once in a while, strip down to your undies and fly around the house with it?

I do.heck yes

but why stop at undies

[Reaganista]

She actually asked if i wanted to have a three way

[YDtoad]

Paul I think I've found your ideal candidate:
http://www.freep.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20071225/NEWS05/712250327/1007


With snow swirling outside the New Hampshire library, it was a classic presidential primary debate scene. The candidate, in a dark suit and gold tie, answered questions about taxes and immigration.

Cameras rolled; sound bites flowed.

The candidate's reaction: "Awesome."

Meet Albert Howard of Ann Arbor, a Republican running for president. He's 41, the father of eight children under 13, a chauffeur for Checker Sedan, a former missionary and a man with strong opinions.

If elected, he would abolish the Internal Revenue Service, the FBI and all taxes. He says he believes the 9/11 planes were part of a government conspiracy.

In 1992, an angel's voice told him he would someday meet Hillary Clinton, run against her for president and she would lose.

So he decided to try it.

On Oct. 23, with a travel package he found online at Priceline.com, he flew to New Hampshire to become one of 42 so-called lesser known candidates in the nation's first presidential primary Jan. 8.

Like the others, he paid $1,000 and signed paperwork to get his name on the ballot. That won him a spot in the "Lesser Known Candidates Forum" in Manchester last week, which was broadcast live for local television and taped for C-SPAN.

He also has made the rounds of town halls and newspaper offices in Iowa, hoping people will write in his name on caucus ballots there Jan. 3. He has been interviewed by or quoted in the New York Times, Boston Globe, Time magazine, and newspapers in New Hampshire and Iowa.

His strategy is to become one of the top three vote-getters in one of the two early opportunities and sail to victory.

"This is what America is all about," he said. "Remote as it might be, it's still a possibility."

He's not on the primary ballot in Michigan, which requires candidates to have the signatures of 12,000 supporters. "Too much red tape," he said.

Like other candidates, he has a Blackberry, a Web site, Youtube.com videos, a campaign committee and a treasurer -- his wife, Ingrid. He has raised less than $5,000, he said.

A nondenominational Christian who is an abortion opponent, his platform includes bringing God and spirituality back to the nation, banishing voting machines and getting out of the United Nations.

What about that angel who spoke to him?

He did once meet Clinton, at the University of Michigan commencement ceremonies in 1997 where she spoke and he sang the national anthem. Now, he's running against her for president.

Does Howard think the angel meant he would beat Clinton, or that someone else would?

"That's just how it came to me," he said. "I don't know what it means."

;) :p :D

Less-known 'candidates'=fun times.

[guitrguy]

And some times completely off their rocker. :lol:

[Hababi]

I stopped supporting him when I didn't agree with anything he stands for.

that too

even though he's wrong, how does that have anything to do with what a president does on a daily basis?

[PerpetualBurn]

:/
even though he's wrong, how does that have anything to do with what a president does on a daily basis?

I don't trust a guy who ignores incredible amounts of rational evidence because of his belief in God.

[Dave de Sylvia]

At least he's making an effort to connect with mainstream Republicans. I find it hard to believe any of these obviously intelligent candidates really disbelieve evolution.

[ringworm]

I don't trust a guy who ignores incredible amounts of rational evidence because of his belief in God.


is it so hard to distinguish some people are completely capable to be in a global or national setting and differentiate between their beliefs and the job at hand?

he is one I have seen, Huckabee is the other, all the others are too afraid to speak how they feel, yeah, lets vote for them instead :/

buts its his actual policies for the country that I vote for, call me crazy, I know :/

[PerpetualBurn]

It's not the belief.

It's how retarded the belief is.

And the willful ignorance necessary for an educated man to hold it.

[ringworm]

It's not the belief.

It's how retarded the belief is.

And the willful ignorance necessary for an educated man to hold it.
but but, the vid didnt even show his entire thought or speech, it was edited and ended short of fininshing a sentance

to me, he beleived that things did happen, somewhat scientifically, but there was a painter behind the canvas, even though I disagree, to me there isnt anything wrong with a person who can understand that, but also have reservations to say a god wasnt responsible, its there way of dealing with life etc.

but this one flaw in his personality cant overide the 99 other things I do like about him

[PerpetualBurn]

"It's a theory. And I don't accept it."

I think that's quite definitive.

And again, it's not a question of his personal beliefs. It's that he's denying something which has mountains of scientifically verified evidence.

I don't think you can trust someone with that much political power if they are willing to publically deny something which is so well grounded. This is a man whose opinions on stem cell research, abortion, global warming, et cetera actually matter. And if he's willing to completely deny the massive majority of scientists' stance on such an issue, then no, I don't think he's capable of the job.

[ringworm]

again though, he didnt reject science as a whole in that 30 second edited soundbyte
i bet letting him put a complete sentance together would assure you he isnt a religious loon

just that he wants to personally beleive there is a god that created him, yeah, I disagree with him, but i've seen enough of his speeches, policies and platforms to realize that what he said is irrelevent

only an ignorant person would reject him as viable after seeing that video

[PerpetualBurn]

It's not about him believing in God. I could happily vote for a theist. Though it's an embarrassment for a politician to openly flaunt their belief. It's about him rejecting the entire scientific consensus on a subject like that. It's entirely irrational.

[ringworm]

well, idk. i guess we'll just keep voting for politicians who lie then

[The Stig]

I've never said all taxes need to be abolished, nor the FBI. And have you seen some of the other stuff he stands for in the article? I like the idea of getting out of the UN, but that and abolishing the IRS as its known today are about the only things in that article on which I agree.

Oh, I know you're not in his camp with a whole lot of the rest of what he says--some of it makes me believe that he's literally insane (9/11 conspiracy, angel told me to run), but that whole anti-taxation bent stuck out to me.

If I had more time, I'd make a "fringe candidate selector" on selectsmart.

anyone else watch that vid and think about how good those guys would look with busted noses, man they pissed me off more than anything i've seen lately

seriously, how does scientology even exist?

[totah]

Money. Do you not know this story? The guy wrote a book about how the best way to make money is to start your own religion, then he made a public bet that he can start his own religion and get rich and powerful etc, and now he has. Probably gonna set up some huge Messianic Return ritual in 2012 and have a Bill Hicks lookalike come on stage and tell the gathered Scientological masses that they're all chumps. Then he'll run away with his money to some space station and leave a few hundred thousand pissed off middle-class Westerners on Earth to find meaning in their lives once again.

[PerpetualBurn]

L Ron Hubbard doesn't have many plans.

Considering he's dead.

[totah]

That's what he wants you to think. But through the magic known only to leading scientologists, he'll get away with it all.

Unless the Vatican can find and hire a mercenary group of meddling kids.

Also, I'm going to be depressed if the nominees are Hillary Clinton and Mitt Romney.Malta's kind of at the crossroads between European and Mediterranean culture. The language reflects this; it's like an estranged dialect of Arabic with a ton of Italian and English loanwords. And the population has a lot of British ex-pats.

That's why I think Malta's weird. Or just unique, I guess.

You'd get along fine with English there. Lots of Brit ex-pats who go there for the fine weather and low taxation.

[PerpetualBurn]

There's absolutely no need to learn Maltese if you lived there. Though it'd be nice to embrace a bit of culture.

The weather's nice, everyone is incredibly friendly, and there's plenty of history and culture to absorb.

Why the hell doesn't every Western nation just loosen up and legalize pot? It baffles me, honestly.

When you're pointing out why people are wrong, never

When you're trolling; occasionally.

[ringworm]

I admit I don't really "get" where you're coming from on a lot of thing.
lol, yeah, i guess i just cant shake my age and regions influences on my ideals :)
but its hard to shake how everyone views what you used to say and what you stand for now, even when I mean something else or have good intentions, they seem to be taken as something else, but oh well

i think ive come a long way since i first joined though

[YDtoad]

Huckabee and Obama lead in the Des Moine poll. Hopefully that holds till Thursday--it's exactly the result I want :o

[guitrguy]

Whenever anyone changes their name or avatar I treat them as an entirely new entity.

Except for Zero. He's an idiot in all his forms.

[Futue te Ipsum]

I respect the vast majority of people.

Yes, zero too.

KKKKKKKKKKKocaine pissed me off because he plagiarised, well, almost everything he wrote, but then he gave me a valuable lesson which has served me well so he's not all bad.

I've always had avatars switched off on here.

how the hell do you remember Harry?

I haven't seen him for absolutely ages.

[Futue te Ipsum]

My memory is good.

On the scale of things remembering a poster isn't that difficult.

[Dr Hooch]

yeah, but bringing him up randomly is...

[Futue te Ipsum]

i was thinking of people who really annoyed me. He was the only person that had managed it.

[Hababi]

Yes, zero too.


:eek: :o :D

[Dr Hooch]

There will be a thread somewhere from maybe 2-3 years ago about mental illness which is just 14 pages of me and him OWNING this guy who was saying people with depression should cheer up and shut up

Wish i could find it

[Knifeboy]

Harry made horrible music, but he was a cool guy

[Dr Hooch]

Harry made horrible music, but he was a cool guy

It's so true

I wish a had that photo of his band handy

[Knifeboy]

Haven't seen him online for a couple of months now

[Knifeboy]

what's the theoretical minimum unemployment rate? anyone know?

[Dave de Sylvia]

Minimum for what? Full employment is a little under 4.0%,

[Iskandar]

"Full employment" depends on a lot of factors, including what economists think at the time. I was taught it's 5-7%.

In America during WWII, unemployment was like 1.4%, so you can see how it can vary.

[Knifeboy]

Denmarks unemployment rate is under 3.8 % (and getting lower)
But I'm not sure if it's full employment or not?

[Iskandar]

Probably. That's a very good employment rate.

[YDtoad]

It varies country by country.

[Iskandar]

I found out that Canada's unemployment rate is actually higher than that of the US. What the hell.

[YDtoad]

I found out that Canada's unemployment rate is actually higher than that of the US. What the hell.

Ha take that you canucker.

[Iskandar]

Ha take that you canucker.My country is still superior to yours, though.

[YDtoad]

My country is still superior to yours, though.

Only in Calgary :o

[Iskandar]

Only in Calgary :oNo.

Just .... no.

[YDtoad]

No.

Just .... no.

If you moved Calgary to Vancouver it'd be the greatest place on Earth.

[Iskandar]

If you moved Calgary to Vancouver it'd be the greatest place on Earth.What the hell is wrong with you? Calgary is the large intestine of the Earth.

[YDtoad]

What the hell is wrong with you? Calgary is the large intestine of the Earth.

Pffft they're the moral backbone of your otherwise jello nation :smash:

[Iskandar]

Pffft they're the moral backbone of your otherwise jello nation :smash:No they're not because every single other province hates Alberta.

I like Jell-O.

[YDtoad]

No they're not because every single other province hates Alberta.

I like Jell-O.

Jello is squishy nothingness. Alberta is the steak dinner. It gives the nutrients.

Canada should split into 3 nations--Quebec, Maple Leaf Land, and Alberta/Northwest Province. Alberta/NWP would be mad wealthy.

[Iskandar]

Jello is squishy nothingness. Alberta is the steak dinner. It gives the nutrients.

Canada should split into 3 nations--Quebec, Maple Leaf Land, and Alberta/Northwest Province. Alberta/NWP would be mad wealthy.No it wouldn't because they'd have the totally poopty Yukon and NWT.

Everyone knows Ontario is the backbone of Canada's economy anyway. Alberta is just riding the oil wave. What they're doing isn't sustainable.

[YDtoad]

No it wouldn't because they'd have the totally poopty Yukon and NWT.

Everyone knows Ontario is the backbone of Canada's economy anyway. Alberta is just riding the oil wave. What they're doing isn't sustainable.

If they were independent, that would give them the wealth to diversify and have the long term investment necessary to be like Norway--only much, much, more conservative. Yukon and NWT are sparsely populated enough that they wouldn't be a burden.

[Iskandar]

If they were independent, that would give them the wealth to diversify and have the long term investment necessary to be like Norway--only much, much, more conservative. Yukon and NWT are sparsely populated enough that they wouldn't be a burden.I threw up a little in my mouth. Do not ever profane the sacred name of Norway like that ever again.:mad:

If Canada split into east, west and Quebec, I'd take Quebec. Screw the frogs, it's worth it.

[YDtoad]

I threw up a little in my mouth. Do not ever profane the sacred name of Norway like that ever again.:mad:

They ought to take the r out of Norway, because their lack of religious culture and social moral values is No way to be.


If Canada split into east, west and Quebec, I'd take Quebec. Screw the frogs, it's worth it.

Quebec???? That seems odd. Why would you choose Quebec? Do you even speak good French?

[The Stig]

[Iskandar]

Besides, its native name is Norge.
Quebec???? That seems odd. Why would you choose Quebec? Do you even speak good French?No, but I can learn, French is easy.

Quebec is probably the most left-wing part of Canada. Formerly BC and Saskatchewan might have been, but not now.

[YDtoad]

No, but I can learn, French is easy.


It still would take some time and real dedication to get up to a professional level proficiency.


Quebec is probably the most left-wing part of Canada. Formerly BC and Saskatchewan might have been, but not now.

They're also arrogant and xenophobic.

[Knifeboy]

They ought to take the r out of Norway, because their lack of religious culture and social moral values is No way to be.

Just because they are fairly anti-christian, doesn't mean they lack religious culture

Norway is extremely conservative in their social moral values compared to the rest of scandinavia

[YDtoad]

Just because they are fairly anti-christian, doesn't mean they lack religious culture

I just saw some numbers for a bunch of countries the other day. I thin it was something like 8-15% said that religion plays a big role in their lives.

[YDtoad]

Norway is extremely conservative in their social moral values compared to the rest of scandinavia

True, but that's not saying much.

[The Stig]

Well it isn't and shouldn't be the government's job to instil religious values in the country, but at the same time, they shouldn't repress freedom of religion.

[Iskandar]

They're also arrogant and xenophobic.You would be too if you faced the constant threat of being swallowed up by the majority culture.

Norway is extremely conservative in their social moral values compared to the rest of scandinavia
They are?

[YDtoad]

Well it isn't and shouldn't be the government's job to instil religious values in the country, but at the same time, they shouldn't repress freedom of religion.

To instill religion? I actually don't disagree with you here--the last thing I want to see is a state church and the such. But that's not really what I bemoan. Malta is basically my ideal model for a society.


You would be too if you faced the constant threat of being swallowed up by the majority culture.


"The Mexicans are destroying our culture!"

Quebec is like Tom Tancredo on that front.

[Iskandar]

"The Mexicans are destroying our culture!"

Quebec is like Tom Tancredo on that front.See, Quebec actually has a culture to protect.

[Knifeboy]

I just saw some numbers for a bunch of countries the other day. I thin it was something like 8-15% said that religion plays a big role in their lives.

I'm pretty sure they're big on stuff like spirituality and being in contact with nature.. but I guess that's not religion per se



They are?

they have really strict laws regarding stuff like buying violent video games, movies, alcohol and cigarettes

[YDtoad]

See, Quebec actually has a culture to protect.

That idea of culture and 'protecting' it is pretty ridiculous.

[Knifeboy]

To instill religion? I actually don't disagree with you here--the last thing I want to see is a state church and the such.


Good to see you've softened on some issues :p

[Iskandar]

That idea of culture and 'protecting' it is pretty ridiculous.Yeah, we should just let the dominant culture **** all over the minority.

Why isn't the Third World into Nascar yet???

[YDtoad]

Yeah, we should just let the dominant culture **** all over the minority.


"protecting culture" is always done by a majority (the insano-French Quebecers function as a regional majority) against minorities.

[Iskandar]

"protecting culture" is always done by a majority (the insano-French Quebecers function as a regional majority) against minorities.Yeah, they're insane because they want to continue speaking their own language.

Francophones are the minority in Canada. And your assessment is stupid. Are the Basques in Spain the majority?

[YDtoad]

Yeah, they're insane because they want to continue speaking their own language.

No one's saying they can't. They're the ones trying to stop others from speaking English, and imposing their linguiphobic outlook on businesses and people, forcing them to adhere to their preferences.

[Iskandar]

No one's saying they can't. They're the ones trying to stop others from speaking English, and imposing their linguiphobic outlook on businesses and people, forcing them to adhere to their preferences.No.

[The Stig]

Yeah, we should just let the dominant culture **** all over the minority.

Why isn't the Third World into Nascar yet???

What do you mean? Florida was the birthplace of NASCAR.

[YDtoad]

No.

So you have no problem with the government forcing businesses to have their displays in French and not English?

[Iskandar]

So you have no problem with the government forcing businesses to have their displays in French and not English?Um, that's not their policy. Their policy is that signs must be bilingual, and the French must be prominent.

[YDtoad]

Um, that's not their policy. Their policy is that signs must be bilingual, and the French must be prominent.

What do you mean prominent? The way I understood it, the French has to be dominant. And you think that's a good thing?

[Iskandar]

What do you mean prominent? The way I understood it, the French has to be dominant. And you think that's a good thing?You may have noticed that Quebec speaks French.

The rule is that the French cannot ever be smaller than the English on a sign.

[YDtoad]

You may have noticed that Quebec speaks French.

So why do they need to force everyone to confirm to a linguiphobic standard?

[Iskandar]

So why do they need to force everyone to confirm to a linguiphobic standard?Stop saying linguiphobic, it's not a word.

They're trying to protect their language from the Anglophone majority. This is not a difficult concept.

[YDtoad]

Stop saying linguiphobic, it's not a word.

It is now.


They're trying to protect their language from the Anglophone majority. This is not a difficult concept.

wtf protect their language? If the people want their language protected, they'll protect it! wtf is it the government's business to intervene and force people to do so? If people care enough, then they'll 'protect' it, if not, then it doesn't warrant protecting.

[Iskandar]

wtf protect their language? If the people want their language protected, they'll protect it! wtf is it the government's business to intervene and force people to do so? If people care enough, then they'll 'protect' it, if not, then it doesn't warrant protecting.What the hell are you talking about?

[YDtoad]

What the hell are you talking about?

If the Francophiles in Quebec want to preserve their culture, let them do it the way most others preserve their culture--without an imperious government.

[Dr Hooch]

I just saw some numbers for a bunch of countries the other day. I thin it was something like 8-15% said that religion plays a big role in their lives.

you're right steve

frankly without the christian influence it's a miracle they haven't committed countless genocides, gotten drunk and had sex with their daughters, and concluded the only way to save their souls is with metaphysical cannibalism

That idea of culture and 'protecting' it is pretty ridiculous.

oh so you take all that sh!t about ebonics back?


wtf protect their language? If the people want their language protected, they'll protect it! wtf is it the government's business to intervene and force people to do so? If people care enough, then they'll 'protect' it, if not, then it doesn't warrant protecting.

you really have to take that stuff about ebonics back now

or you'll be sent to guantanamo by the hypocrite police

[The Stig]

Steve sounds like me now.

He's saying that if the people think it is important to protect their French, it will survive without government force. I agree.

[Iskandar]

If the Francophiles in Quebec want to preserve their culture, let them do it the way most others preserve their culture--without an imperious government.They elected that government (the Bloc) to promote Francophone culture.

[YDtoad]

They elected that government (the Bloc) to promote Francophone culture.

What, are they too weak and pathetic to accomplish that on their own?



He's saying that if the people think it is important to protect their French, it will survive without government force. I agree.


Precisely :cool:

[YDtoad]

oh so you take all that sh!t about ebonics back?


What are you talking about? I still hate ebonics just like I hate any other painful deviation (eg cockney) from standard English.

[The Stig]

They elected that government (the Bloc) to promote Francophone culture.

Like Steve said, if people found it important enough, they would have not needed government force to preserve it.

[Iskandar]

What, are they too weak and pathetic to accomplish that on their own?Or you could not insult an entire province.

You Americans don't get it. You've been a monolingual culture since who knows when, and you don't know how language politics works. That's why you're dealing with the Hispanics so poorly.
Precisely
Funny coming from you, who advocates government intervention on a whole host of "moral" (i.e. religious) issues.

[The Stig]

Language Politics?

[Iskandar]

Language Politics?The politics of language....

[YDtoad]

Or you could not insult an entire province.

I'm only insulting the ones who are so insecure that they expect the government to mandate their culture.


You Americans don't get it. You've been a monolingual culture since who knows when, and you don't know how language politics works. That's why you're dealing with the Hispanics so poorly.
Funny coming from you, who advocates government intervention on a whole host of "moral" (i.e. religious) issues.

Wait, you consider language to be a moral issue???

And, a whole lot of people are dealing quite nicely with Hispanics. It's people of the Francophiles mindset who are projecting the hostility. I don't understand how you can defend Francophiles and condemn Tancredo & co. They're the exact same sorts.

Why don't you trust people to continue their own culture??

[Iskandar]

Why don't you trust people to continue their own culture??I do - and one of the ways they do it is by voting in a Quebec-nationalist party.

[YDtoad]

I do - and one of the ways they do it is by voting in a Quebec-nationalist party.

No, by having the government mandate things, you are showing a distrust in the individual.
