I wouldnt bother quoting his posts if I were you, and I dont really know what you are trying to achieve that might not be misinterpreted as trolling. It wasn't the inanity of his posts which drove me to it as much as the huge, pointless downloaded images he keeps cluttering up threads with. This thread for example. |
Re: The Occupy Uprising....
To take a leap toward being on topic, I'm shocked, shocked, to see that Guelph has been occupied. Tents all over the main square.

Re: The Occupy Uprising....
Why is that? There are students there ( Big Agricultural school ), a lot of manufacturing companies there, including a major supplier ( Linamar ) to the motor industries in Detroit

I'd politely suggest that you aren't familiar with the OP's MO. Still, it's quite impressive that you manage to complain about people making smart-alec comments by doing the exact same thing. Well done.

Re: The Occupy Uprising....
Yes. Protest as long as they want.
No. Stop living in the park. Its a frikkin park for people who live and pay prop tax in that area. If it was a park next to my house i would be well pissed. Commute into Toronto daily, like all the other employed folk, and then do ya protesting. Afterwards fk off home. |

We demand that EI payments from people not eligible to receive from the program be eliminated. I am self employed, I don't pay them. Does anyone have to pay them that isn't entitled to claim? 2. We demand that the banks be nationalized and limit interest payments to 1% ... What about those with savings, what about those that will then purchase houses they can't really afford. What about the fact that the lending institutions will then refuse to lend? 16. We demand that Canada pulls out of NATO - Where will all the serving servicemen/service women obtain jobs? NATO is likely to be the only such entity that can actually achieve results stopping despots across the world. What organization is going to protect Canada, or will the two rubber flubbers and the one aeroplane be enough to protect the entire country? 26. We demand that "none of the above" be an option on all electoral ballots - What if "none of the above" wins. Does that portion of the electorate accept they are not entitled to any form of representation? 27. We demand that lawyers work in pairs so that a lack of resources won't be a factor in deciding a case :thumbsup: I can't be bothered to type them all out and I can't copy them so: How will those wanting heroin on prescription be able to afford the prescription? Will they be allowed to steal to fund it? They appear to want to stop any form of energy production unless it is renewable, despite the fact that, I thought, it was universally accepted that renewables cannot produce enough energy to meet demand |

...and this.. ...are contradictory. I asked for yes or no. Not yes AND No . Yes protest as much as they want about other people working for a living. But have respect for the local people who have to live in that area and may wish to use the park without tripping over tent lines or getting stuck with a old used needle. Would you like them to live on your front lawn? Or in a park close to where you live. Yes or No? |

Yes, everyone should pay their share of tax. No exceptions 3. Partially agree - crimes should be punished. 9. If that means free market booze, then I'm all for it. 10.

Yes - that's none of the states business 12. As I saw on a US website: when a corporation receives the death penalty I'll believe in corporate personhood. The rest is mostly left-wing hippy nonsense. One way to achieve this is to do away with corporations and let everyone operate in their own name. I am sure you won't see anything wrong in that. It would mean the end of your pension, but who really cares about such things?:p |
