Talk to me when you've lost a job to someone in order to fulfill a quota (even though you're more qualified)


a supporter of affirmative action might say in response: have you ever lost a job because someone did not like your skin color?

I gone back and forth on this issue. Both sides have good points. I am not sure which is right.



no, but the slave themselves never got paid and we can still pay their living relatives

it would be akin to paying money to the slaves estates and then the relatives get the money via inheritence.


2. The people who are supposed to pay them never owned slaves.

Which is why affirmative action programs need to be tossed.

maybe.



1. We were talking about France, not America

2. Maybe people still want slavery reparations because no reparations have ever been paid out. .

But not at the expense of enlarging the government.

I think that conservatives are tired of being treated like Fred Phelps' homeboys.

he determined that there had NEVER been a dead body in it, suggesting that Jason Todd hadn't been truly dead, that it was some sort of hybernation.

Hey, I'm all for the first Amendment, but I'm also for it being used responsibly. Liberals can say whatever they want, but the minute they fail a student for not buying into politically correct B.S. or start restricting the rights of people to pray or wave a flag whereever they want to, then THEY are the one's in violation of the first ammendment.

when have liberal restricted your right to prayer? What they restrict is government led prayer, or an offically saction time of prayer in school. You can still pray silently to wantever god you believe in. And when have they ever restricted some one from waving a flag? True they have restricted goverment's use of offensive flags, but individuals and wave what ever flag they want.

Also: Have I, Starkiller, or JediSage called anyone an evil godless sinner?

Have we forgotten our more recent bout of looting and rioting in the U.S. ... the aftermath of Katrina? While there is no excuse for a man without power stealing a HD television, it was equally insane for N.O. police to be opening fire on those stealing perishables and diapers. It is no solution to say "zero tolerance" and "open fire" against rioting civillians and ignore the root causes of the problem.

So France should do nothing a let the rioters destroy Paris? There is big difference stealling perishable items during a diasaster and commiting acts of violence. Now, I am not suggesting that police should just mow them down. Merely that order has to be restored. There many ways rioters can be stopped without shooting them. If the rioters were about to set your house on fire, would want the police to stand there and do nothing?

It's funny. Not so long ago people came to the US and built the better lives for themselves...they didn't depend on government to do it for them. There's been a polar shift in the way governments are looked upon. They're no longer the defender of the borders and economic markets, they're now seen as an employment office.

I hate Donald Trump. He's full of himself. Did you read what he said on SW.com? He was comparing his success to that of Lucas.

Do you think he will reedie his show "The Apprentice" add CGI and change stuff and then refuse to release the original on DVD?

Pretty much exactly the way Gundark said it. A party tries to call an election when it feels it would be in that party's best interest. Usually, one party holds a majority of the seats in the government, so they pretty much hold the election when they feel the polls suggest they would win (within reason, of course...each term being three to five years).

In the last election (last spring), however, the Liberals, who held a majority government from 1993-2004 (four terms) were held to a minority position, where they had the most seats, but not a majority of the seats. Since then, they've been making alliances to get one party or another to vote with them so that they can form a majority. Now, after revelations of corruption during the Liberal reign of the 90's, the three opposition parties are looking to pass a vote of non-confidence in the government and force an election. Now, whether that election happens in December or February or April depends on what the leaders of the three parties decide. One of the big "no-no's" is a Christmas election, because the primary view is that the public wouldn't want that, so whoever calls a Christmas vote would fall in the polls.

I hope I didn't make that too confusing. I'll be honest, I left out a lot of stuff that you "should" know if you wanted to know the whole story. Canadian politics is so hard to follow, but it sure makes one amazing soap opera!

To sum it up, our elections happen when the government thinks it can win.

If you do want to know more, Warbler, I'm more than willing to try to oblige.

But, what would happen if the Government never called for an election? Sounds to me like the Government in power has too much power. They should not decide when elections are to take place. Thank you for your explanation Sybeman.


And no, the right isn't trying to control what people think. That's a liberal thing,

Usually they are. Liberalism is only good for tempering conservative extremism.

it's been suggested that Jason Todd, the dead second Robin is the one in the suit

At the same time, is there really a good time to call an election in Canada? It would be easier if we had regularly scheduled elections like the Americans do; that way, a ruling party could not call an election whenever the members felt like it, and people would be forewarned and adjust their schedules accordingly.
