So it would depend on what context he used them in, but if the intent of the use is in context, there really is no issue, apart from spelling. No big woop.

   

Fair enough - just two small examples that Bear asked for.

A better case might be MCB who digs stuff up on the net and then starts mightily paraphrasin', but in any case I don't buy the idea that the uni-educated are all liberal and blue collar guys are all con.

   

I appreciate the effort, thanx. I also appreciate the disbelief in the academic and blue collar divide.

   

Of course they do.

   

No? Because it smacks down the generalization.
One person off the top of my head (there are more, don't you worry) someone I was talking to on the phone, and my current riding. They were convenient examples, and certainly not the only ones.
I am not typing any differently than I normally do. Again, nice generalization.
Maybe you didn't read it that way, but clearly other people did.

   

Thank you Streaker.

   

I'm waiting Lily. Don't say something then run away. Your sniping got you in trouble this time. In fact, I remember saying that I admired Janitors because they do work that few others would. Hell some of the janitors I knew from school were awesome.

   

Aaaahhhh shit, does that mean I have to join the LPoC now!!!???

I kid, I kid, I couldn't resist...

   

I only have 6 welding tickets, so that would make me (in the eyes of some) a blue collar grunt who votes Conservative. Does my computer science degree, or my MCSE and MCSA count?

I was raised in a big city, have lived all my life (until recently) in a big city and have always voted Conservative. Maybe I am the exception to the rule.

BOT

I have both Canadian and British passports and see no problem.

   

No. Those don't count.

   

Don't say that!

   

Though I won't ever agree with hold dual loyalties, Britain is on the good guy list, so it's easier to take then say... Lebanon.

As for your welding tickets and your other credentials...

That makes you one of the builder class, one of the good guys. You can be in the club, lmao.

   

Wow. Here I thought this was 5 pages relating to the topic...it really cracks me up how off topic these threads get.

   

Thanks...please don't ask for the subscription.

   

What the FUCK are these assholes pullign on us NOW!?

We have to follow their little passport restriction deal and they get off scot free? WHAT THE HELL KIND OF BULLSHIT IS THIS!?

That is true.

Hmm... Okay, My Liberal side posted the bit above the quote there, meaning every bit..

But my Patriotic Nationalist side thinks this could help our economy...

Less Canadians going to the States and investing their money in the American Economy, Because some restrictions and hassles is to much to bother with, but the same Americans coming to Canada and investing in the Canadian Economy.

So other then the fact that I'm furious with the fact that America just seems to love screwing with Canada, this may not be so terribly bad.

Plus, I don't plan to visit the United States, so I really don't have anything to bitch about, I just want my country not to be shitted like this.

ROTFL
