have a nice day Iron...see in de MA :aok


Why not? I'm not a racist and my government forbids racist practices unlike some where they are sanctioned by the government.

Show me another country that has such tolerance for other cultures and lax immigration laws as the US.

I'll lighten up when you do. Have a nice day yerself. :)

You know what I think. Because Bush believes what he is doing is the right thing for America. Whether or not he is correct, we shall see, but I believe he is doing what he thinks is right for our country, not himself.


He did it to get his brother laid by Asia Hookers that come to his hotel room....


Or may be he did it so he can get laid by his wife.... must be a new kind of fetish.


how about this... because Bush has a history of running companies into bankruptcy with his incompetence...

Bush is incompetent and incontenant.

How the f**k are they threatened by us?

They have the same rights as any person living in Quebec does.

And we are a minority in Canada.

Yes the right not to name there business an English name. Not to use an English sign on their business. The right not to answer the phone in English if you are a big company. The right not to send your kids to an English school if you are a French speaking family.

Of course if you wanted to open a business in Toronto and put a big french sign out front and make it mandatory to speak french and send your kids to an all french school you would be able to no problem. The only place in Canada with laws that prohibit signs and prohibit the free use of other languages are in Quebec.

Can you see how they are threatened now? (Somehow I doubt it).

This is an absolutly non interesting post that will be, in part, in that evil french language (warning : reading it could kill you).

Straffo : Allumer le feu pas qu'un peu... Y'a un vrai sentiment anti-français chez nos amis américains de ce bbs (ne pas généraliser), a la limite (souvent dépassée) du racisme (sic).
Je sais pas comment tu fais pour :
1. passer autant de temps a répondre sachant que cela ne changera pas d'un iota leurs avis.
2. supporter cet hostilitée ambiante sur le bbs et dans le jeu.
3. écouter Johnny.

Bon courage mais c'est, a mon avis, du temps perdu.

Sure I agree,I was figuring it was not the case otherwise I won't have been so vocal.
It's weird to be a minority and oppress another minority whatever the reason.

As you say in English : pot calling kettle ...

The reason for these laws is not because we hate the English.
Fear of loosing our cultural identity is the reason.
Quebec is surrounded by English.

English people speak English, so they can send their kids to English school.
US schools teach in the US' native language and so do ours.
I dont see any problems here, sorry.

I would prefer signs in both languages in equal size so that both English and French people can read equally well.
But I dont make the laws.
English only signs would be a very bad idea anyway, since most of the population speaks French.

I come from Baie-Comeau, Mulroney's home town.
We have an English High School in a town of less then 25000 people.
I dont consider that a threat to their language, sorry.

US doesn't teach only in English and nowhere in the US is any language forbidden. Many cultures are embraced in the US.

There is a difference.

The way I have read this thread is English is not forbidden in Canada either...  Bill 101 stated simply that signs were to be in English AND French... in other words... English names are OK... French names are OK........... Want to have your sign in English, its OK...  Just have it in French too...  

This does not sound like language rasicm to me.. Sounds like sign controll...   Not drastically unlike sign restrictions in some areas of america such as height, content, and locations........
