Remember the school kids holding boards and chanting slogans when they did not have all the abilities nor the full knowledge of what was going on?<br /><br />That way of doing things always reminds me of how Palestinians use kids to try to get their message accross but end up to the end of the civilized world looking like a bunch of fools exploting the naiveté of children for their sick cause.Tym_Machinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10815495714187962909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7963035472241877292.post-18300918261357816992010-04-15T06:27:14.366-04:002010-04-15T06:27:14.366-04:00Language is a job issue as much as anything else. ...Language is a job issue as much as anything else. The majority of Quebecers are completely incapable of existing in a bilingual society. 101 has ensured that those who occupy jobs with little or no English will continue to support the legislation as well as any party that claims to be its defendant if only to retain their job security. A nefarious plan from the start.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7963035472241877292.post-46496021551526580762010-04-15T01:01:41.607-04:002010-04-15T01:01:41.607-04:00Back in the mid 1980's when I was a young and ...Back in the mid 1980's when I was a young and naive fellow I was working at a very large Sears warehouse. One day the whole plant - over a 1,000 employees - were called-in in groups of fifty or so and we were all given pens and papers. We were all told that we were to write letters to our provincial and federal M.P.'s and the premier too. We were told to say in the letters that we were opposed to Sunday shopping and wanted the stores to stay closed. They had a bunch of extra managers brought in and they walked up and down the aisles watching us as we wrote. I remember one woman - a fair bit older then my 21 years - saying but what if you AGREED WITH IT. At once a bunch of managers got in her face and I seem to remember her being escorted out of the room. At the time most of this all went over my head (like I said I was only 21 and this was all pre-internet days) but I always remembered it and have periodically reconsidered it as I got older. What right did Sears even have to do something like this? It was certainly unethical. Makes you wonder how many people get taken advantage of because they don't know their rights. You should check out Michael Moore's latest film and learn about 'Dead Peasants'.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
