Her "I am more ingenious than thou" attitude is typical of rampaging feminism. She reminds me of my wife, cataloguing what people say to be twisted and used in anger. Her put downs of Cutie <br />were needless and mean spirited. Mr.Sauga laughs at people like her. In his years he's seen many low life stinkers like her. You and I are being attacked for making constructive posts. <br />I simply add her to the list of trolls who are there to annoy and disrupt. When I see her post I skip over it like the oher trolls. I know that people like her must live butI ask in the name of God, why?

Parfois on peut avoir tort, mais la subtilité est de savoir quand nous n’avons pas raison, et d’être assez …fort d’esprit …pour en être conscient,et de l’avouer.

And I would certainly hope you’d treat animals better than you seem to treat human beings; hopefully you don’t berate them as well. I guess that I would be appear ‘angry’ to you since I’m actually calling you on your sh*t...And Mister..IT DOES STINK! <br /><br />Finally, I’m often told by people I know, that they think I missed my true calling in life. They’ll often mention to me that someone like me should be in a courtroom, either defending or prosecuting; but it’s moments such as these, when I meet up with someone the likes of you, who happens to be in that ‘profession’, that I know they are wrong.

And I did hear at least one intellectual property lawyer explaining - on the radio - why the OQLF was going to have problems with their defence. I have a little knowledge of trademark law so, personally, I got all the information I needed from the news I read or heard about this dispute. And re your belief that this blog has no poitive value on the matter I think it does have value, in the context of the internet. I thought the photos from other countries were terrific. I knew that descriptors were not used in other countries in Europe from my own travel experience but our Editor gave us photos from across the world. So I learned from the blog and I flipped it to some friends who will learn from the photos. The internet is not "mass" media but it does educate and provoke individuals and in that sense it moves the ball down the field. You are perhaps aware that the folks at Vigile love to rail against the Quebec press. According to them it is uniformly federalist , a Gesca conspiracy to suppress the truth etc. So pure objective reporting may be missing in La Presse but...the enemy of my enemy is my friend! <br /><br />You say we are not making progress but I have been following language politics and disputes since the 1960s and I am certain we are making progress. Pierre Bourgault and Marcel Chaput and Rene Levesque all died as Canadian citizens. And their fellow travelers will soon do the same. We don't need your Armageddon scenario - separation and prolonged economic crisis - to make progress. It is happening already. There is no indication that separation will ever happen so we will have to work out our differences the same way we have been doing it here for 250 years - talk it out, argue, go to court, listen to all points of view - and we will lurch forward. I'm an optimist but so far history is on my side.<br /><br />Cutie003, I think you have to read my posts a little more carefully. I did not say that you tried to hide the fact that you are unilingual. I said you can't tell us its none of our business if you were the one who brought it up. You thought it was relevant so YOU told us that you were unilingual and so YOU made it our business. Do you copy? Also, the last thing I would ever do is tell you what language to speak. You are a free man, and I respect that. But if you do get involved with your fellow citizens in their language I think you will learn something. Or if you wish you can continue to be a textbook example of the two solitudes. Also, thanks for making my point, so effectively, about your limited understanding of the "laws that govern Canada". Quebec conforms to those laws and they always have done so. They don't have a choice because if they try to avoid conforming some lawyer like Brent Tyler or those who work for Walmart will force them to conform.<br /><br />And AnecTOTE - I see you invited me to have an "adult conversation" but before I could reply you manage to misquote me and then suggest my comments are "disingenuous crap". Is that your idea of an adult conversation? You clearly have difficulty with the idea that a lawyer chooses to comment on an issue which is primarily a legal issue. Perhaps you would prefer the opinion of a veterinarian - as long as he agrees with you, AnecTOTE. You should consider taking an anger management course with Cutie003. Like you, he specializes in adult conversations about language politics.

I look around and what I see leads me to have little faith in the system or its inner workings. I get that what was proposed yesterday is a bold and audacious undertaking. Maybe it will never get off the ground, but it has been very interesting and quite entertaining to see what little zombies have crawled outa the woodwork in an attempt to dismiss it. <br /><br />I would like to thank you for suggesting ...that perhaps...we adjust our aim....but then...that may cause us to miss our target entirely....savvy???
