[quote name='Mr. Maul'][FONT=Verdana] [FONT=Verdana][SIZE=1]In the case of Quebec, I think they need to stop their whining and deal.[/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Verdana][SIZE=1]They've been threatening to separate from Canada since WWII? Stop with the empty threats and get on with it already. I believe that if they truly were so serious about it, they would have done so by now.[/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Verdana][SIZE=1]All this commotion because they want to speak French.[/SIZE][/FONT][/QUOTE] [color=#9933ff][font=lucida calligraphy]But that's the thing, they do speak french. They have an obscure dialect of French that originated in their province ages ago and that's their primary language in that province. It's on their liscence plates and one of the cities in the province has a language police. They're the reason the rest of Canada has to have everything in French and English/ Plus because of their whining they get more money than any other province. And don't even get me started on the 95 referendum... The thing is though that I believe that although language is part of who you are it doesn't completely define you since ANYONE can learn a second or third language given the chance and half a brain. But your culture is more about history and traditions than just language.[/color][/font]

[quote name='MadHatter']I agree with Retribution. Even if you did not have the language what about tradition and all of the other things that go along with it? That person has to think about that too.[/QUOTE] [color=#9933ff][font=lucida calligraphy]Yes, but in order to understand why that person isn't considering that fact you have to understand that Quebec has been threatening to seperate from the rest of Canada since World War Two. And their main reasoning for seperation was to preserve their heritage and recent primiers have claimed that in order to preserve their heritage they have to preserve their language. I'd get into more detail, but it's nearly two in the morning and I have things to do. If anyone from Canada wants to try and explain thise idea go right ahead.[/color][/font]

[color=#9933ff][font=lucida calligraphy]I was having this arguement/ discussion with my friend from Quebéc about how you don't need language to maintain your culture and he's claiming that you do need language to maintain your culture. Which to me is an insult because I'm Irish American and to my knowledge Gaelic which is an Irish language is virtually unknown to most people of Irish decent not living in Ireland. So now I have to ask the rest of you all. What do you think? Can you have a cultural heritage without being able to speak your ancestral tongue?[/color][/font]

[color=#9933ff][font=lucida calligraphy]I work a lot so I hardly get to watch TV at all let alone making it a point to catch certain shows (except for Desperate Housewives and the horrid 4Kids dub of Winx Club) But I was off this weekend so I caught a few episodes of the Naruto dub on Cartoon Network's Naruto Hundo marathon. I have to say that for a title character Naruto has me very impressed. He's not your typical headliner who has everything come easy with the typical hardships. He works hard and he's extremely hyper. So maybe when I have extra money I'll buy a few DVDs and watch it subbed.[/color][/font]

[quote name='Sojiro47'][FONT="Book Antiqua"]Yeah, waiting can get pretty vicious. Never fun when tips are up for grabs. People have died in restaraunts for less. I would know....I was a by-stander, and I almost died... [/FONT][/QUOTE] [color=#9933ff][font=lucida calligraphy]That's why I stick to the jobs where you don't have to fight for tips. Just don't ask the gay grill cook why he doesn't have 5$ for a hair cut. Oh yeah, that was a nice run in. I used to work at McDonald's a few years ago- this was when I was pregnant. And for a while I was friends with this guy who worked the grill. One day for whatever reason he was telling one of the other girls about how he needed a hair cut but didn't have 5$ for one. So I asked him how he couldn't have 5$ for a hair cut and he got pissy with me. Later he called me up and asked me to come get my stuff. We got into a fight again and he told me that he hoped I had a misscarriage. Yeah the people at that McDonald's were great. I had a supervisor who wouldn't let me use the bathroom when I needed to and some forty something who didn't like me for whatever reason and just sought out to get on my last nerve. Christ Sake! She was in her forties and I'm in my twenties get a friggin' life![/color][/font]

[color=#9933ff][font=lucida calligraphy]I forgot to add this before but intelligence is a huge turn on for me. I don't act it a lot but I do have a working brain and I like to have actual conversations with people who know what they're talking about. So if a guy can carry on a conversation about more than his video game collection or his hair products nice. Yes, a little knowledge goes a long way because Canada is not a province no matter what world you're living in.[/color][/font]

[quote name='Dagger']I have become totally confused about Fish Eye's gender. Does this ever get cleared up on screen? [/QUOTE] [color=#9933ff][font=lucida calligraphy]If you watch the ep about that fashion designer it's kind of cleared up because the guy told Fish Eye that he didn't care if "he' was a guy or a girl, he was so pretty. Then Fish Eye actually ripped off his shirt in another scene and he's flat. CWi Zoyed Fishie when they dubbe that season back in '01. I remember that. Also in the Dead Moon Arc Ami has some kind of dream or whatever where she sees her mom with Fish Eye. So yeah, that is definately a gay villain.[/color][/font]

[color=#9933ff][font=lucida calligraphy]Okay well I asked him to do it and he did it. Good boy. :animesmil So now I guess I have to reply to the question Physically: I go for eyes first. I have really nice eyes so I expect the guy I date to have nice ones as well. I'm a sucker for dark eyes especially brown ones. Hair. Oh Lord am I particular about hair. It should be shorter than mine (which is quite easy) not too long unless you can actually pull it off and really it should all be on your head. I can't really stand facial hair (especially on my current boyfriend because it makes him look like a redneck) and body hair reminds me of my lab partner in chemistry class. Uck. As for color though, I've never really thought about it Height, eh it used to be a big thing for me to have the guy be taller. But now I've realized that that's what heels are for. And having a guy close to my height makes a few things a lot easier ;) Weight... Uh well as long as it's not frightening man boobs I guess I don't care. Body art is optional, but you get points for it. Emotionally, Mentally whatever: I think that a sense of humor is the most important thing that a guy can have... after trust and respect of course. If a guy can handle my mood swings and doesn't mind that I've called just to complain then I'm really in love. Heh. I like a guy who can listen, because it means a lot to me. [/color][/font]

IF i was slowly being killed by some kind of a sickness, in the most painful way, and i was asking ANY of you to kill me to make it stop, would you do it?[/QUOTE] [color=#9933ff][font=lucida calligraphy]Hey Lee, you know that some people would kill you even if you weren't in pain.

[color=#9933ff][font=lucida calligraphy]I have a lot of blonde jokes q: How does a blonde turn on the light in the morning a: Opens the car door. q: Why are blonde jokes so short? a: So men can understand them too. Three blondes Three blondes (natural) died and found themselves standing before St. Peter. He told them that before they could enter the Kingdom, they had to tell him what Easter was. The first blonde said, "Easter is a holiday where they have a big feast and we give thanks and eat turkey." St. Peter said, "Noooooo," and he banished her to hell. The second blonde said, "Easter is when we celebrate Jesus' birth and exchange gifts." St. Peter said, "Noooooo," and he banished her to hell. The third blonde said, she knew what Easter is, and St. Peter said, "So, tell me." She said, "Easter is a Christian holiday that coincides with the Jewish festival of Passover. Jesus was having Passover feast with His disciples when he was betrayed by Judas, and the Romans arrested him. The Romans hung Him on the cross and eventually He died. Then they buried Him in a tomb behind a very large boulder . St. Peter said, "Verrrrrry good." Then the blonde continued, "Now every year the Jews roll away the boulder and Jesus comes out. If he sees his shadow, we have six more weeks of basketball." St. Peter fainted. Finally an Irish joke: q: How many Irishmen does it take to screw in a lightbulb? a: Fifty-one. One to hold the lightbulb and fifter to get drunk enough to make the room spin.[/color][/font]

[quote name='Inuyasha7271']Yes but he isn't saying that your not qualified to tell us Chibi he is saying that when you yourself are in the pain would you truly want to feel that knowing that their is no hope no chance of life the only thing awaiting you is pain. .[/QUOTE] [color=#9933ff][font=lucida calligraphy]That may be the case, which is why I appologized for the tone. But a good portion of my work week involves hospice patients. So in some ways I am in a postion to give an opinion. Being in hospice means that these people are only given a few weeks to live and they are in a lot of pain. You can see it. Some of them can't be touched or moved without constant doses of pain killers. I know I wouldn't want to be in that type of ssituation. [/color][/font]

[color=#9933ff][font=lucida calligraphy]Well we've talked about customer service experiances, customer experiances and what we do for money. So now I decided to ask about the most annoying co-workers you've had to deal with due to what you do for money- or have done for money. Right now I'm lucky because I really don't work with my co-workers, so usually I just laugh at my friend's stories. But there was a time I had some of my own The one that sticks out best in my mind was when I worked at the local airport cleaning planes. One of the ramp agents was a real idiot. He broke his foot while standing on a moving belt loader and was sent to help clean planes with me and some other cleaners. Well one night while I was cleaning the back galley on one of the commercial jets and I had to heed the call of nature. So I started to walk to the front of the plane so I could get out and go do my thing. Well the guy who broke his foot was cleaning the seats and asked me where I was going. So I told him. And the jackass asked me [i][b]WHY[/i][/b] I was going to the bathroom. So I told him 'To change my tampon is that alright with you? Appearantly it wasn't alright with him because later he complained to a supervisor who told him to just shut up. But he didn't bother me for the rest of the night. So any good stories?[/color][/font]

[quote name='Gavin'][SIZE="1"] All of you who haven't should go visit an terminal cancer ward some time and ask the people there they're opinion of it. Because right at this moment, not one of us has the right to give an opinion on this subject.[/SIZE][/QUOTE] [color=#9933ff][font=lucida calligraphy]I'd just like to appologize for the tone of my post ahead of time. Gavin. I'm a hospice aide. I have to go to work and deal with death and dying on a regular basis. I have one lady right now whose nurse didn't give her past Wednesday. Today's Friday and I saw her from 0900-1100 EST It wasn't pleasant because I have to drip 30MGs of MORPHINE under this woman's tongue and help her swallow. Her daughter or I have to do this EVERY HOUR. And we have to give 10MGS then help her swallow, wait five minutes then give her another ten until it's all gone. Then an hour later it's the same rutine (can't spell today) Also from the end of February to the end of March I [i]had[/i] a sweet older gentleman with rectal cancer. He had a morphine drip and a patch on his back just so he could lay in bed and be repositioned without too much discomfort. I also had a woman with bone cancer back in January and it near killed me to watch her husband trying to help me care for her because one morning she could hardly move to sit up she was in so much pain and he started crying. And finally my grandmother died last year from Stomach cancer which after being diagnosed rapidly spread to her kidneys and liver. She spent her last weeks in hospice also on morphine just so she could be comfortable. So SunfallE my heart goes out to you. So don't assume to tell me that I don't have the right to give an opinion on this subject and ought to go to a terminal cancer ward. I do time enough in simular situations on a Monday through Friday basis which is why I started this thread in the first place.[/color][/font]

[quote name='Lethargy'][SIZE=1][COLOR=DarkGreen]So since you don't believe in a higher power, killing people is okay then, right?[/COLOR][/SIZE][/QUOTE] [color=#9933ff][font=lucida calligraphy]Uh sure, and if you don't believe in gravity nothing will happen if you jump off a cliff. Even if you don't believe in a higher power there is still a concept of right and wrong in stable minded people. Killing people is wrong it's as simple as that. Yes it doesn't stop someone from trying, but it's still wrong. [/color][/font]

[color=#9933ff][font=lucida calligraphy] I know this is a controversial issue and I don't think that we've had this topic on the boards. Also it kind of ties in with what my job includes because along with my mostly healthy patients I have two hospice patients. One of which was only given twenty-four hours to live yesturday when her nurse came to increase the dosage of her morphine. I've had two ther patients like that one lasted two months and the other was in slow decline from MS. After a while it's painful to watch and no one should have to live in so much pain where they have to have hourly morphine drips just so they can be repositioned so their bedsores don't go from a stage 2 to a stage 4. Now I live in New York state and right now Oregon is the only state in the union that allows assisted suicides and the person has to still be in their right state of mind to be allowed to obtain the medications that will kill them. I learned that when I had my hospice inservice and a death and dying unit for my HHA class. I do want everyone to know that even though I am starting this thread I am opposed to assisted suicide. It goes against a lot of my personal beliefs. Yes it's hard to watch someone suffer, but it's not our place to decide when they will finally end. That decision belongs to whatever higher power you believe in (if any) And now I have to go and get ready for work. So wish me luck and I hope this can generate some form of discussion.[/color][/font]

[color=#9933ff][font=lucida calligraphy]When I lived in Texas I used to get paid twenty dollars to donate Blood. My veins are too small for plasma, but I'm type O- universal donor so I figured since I hadn't been pierced or tattooed while I was living there I could use the extra twenty. Also when my mom worked for this one food brokerage I dressed up in a Pilsbury Dough Boy costume and made eighty-five dollars. I forgot how much I made, but I was a starving half broke college student so I did it. And it was kind of fun. Now I just try to sell things on Ebay from time to time. Oh and I work! I can't forget that (I just finished working 13 hours today so I had better not forget that)[/color][/font]

[color=#9933ff][font=lucida calligraphy]Well I unearthed my old purple CD case that I've had since my senior year of high school (It has some screwed up Sailor Moon stickers I bought at Hot Topic on it to give you an idea of my age) with some of my less listened to CDs recently and began playing them again in my car. So don't laugh but earlier today I was listening to New Found Glory... before I realized that I also had an older JoDee Messina CD in there and flipping back some more I discovered my Chicago Soundtrack from the Motion picture. (Who knew Richard Gere could sing?) So yes right now in my car (I think now on Track 10) is the music from the motion picture of Chicago. Which is a helluva lot better than whatever else I had.[/color][/font]

[quote name='indifference'][COLOR="Indigo"]Well, even though I know I need them, sometimes I find it annoying when one of my books for a class at school runs over a $100 and the damn thing is made like an cheap over sized paperback book that falls apart halfway during the semester. Like one I got earlier in the spring, $110 and it lasted all of two months even though I was careful with it. It's like the longer I'm in college, the more cheaply made the books become, and yet they just get more and more expensive. Pretty outrageous/ridiculous if you ask me.[/COLOR][/QUOTE] :animestun [color=#9933ff][font=lucida calligraphy]I just realized how lucky I am. The books for my CNA class are going to cost around 400$ But since I don't make that much and I qualified for VESID I don't have to pay anything. :p Most outrageous recent purchase however? I'd have to say that the one hundred eleven dollars and fifty-two cents combined gas purchases are more than outrageous. But I drive over 600 miles a week for work so until I take my class in November I just have to suck it up.[/color][/font]

[quote name='Korey']She got mad and literally threw her WIC stuff at me (not at the register, me) and stormed off. Lucky it was only cheese and a half gallon milk, so it was easily catchable. I calmly set the stuff down and continued my work. I don't let unruly customers get to me cause I know that if I do, anything that happens will be my fault, irregardless. Plus I don't make enough to fight with some lady over something stupid like that and lose my job. I got to make it through college some how right?[/QUOTE] [color=#9933ff][font=lucida calligraphy]She [i]threw[/i] things at you!? Atleast you caught them...impressive. Damn! That brings back memories... of a few months ago. I don't know if it really counts I'm a home health aide which means that I go to people's residence and take care of them.Yes, technically they're really clients, not customers, but this story is too good. I used to have this woman who was extremely bi-polar (No lie. My coordinator actually mentioned that with her list of what's wrong with this woman) and she'd always ask me to run errands. One evening she sent me out for meatballs at one of the grocery stores just saying that I'd find them near the meat department. So I went and grabbed two boxes of frozen meatballs and came back. Well I guess that's not what she wanted because as soon as I took one box out of the grocery bag she saw it, started hurling explitives at me and threw the box at my head. I in return did exactly what the nurse had said to do and told her if she didn't calm down right now I was leaving. It worked. She started crying and starting to appologize. I had her until May when she accused me of stealing from her. That's where I draw the line. [/color][/font]

[color=#9933ff][font=lucida calligraphy] [quote name='The Boss'][color=darkred][size=1] This is a grown, middle-aged man who apparently thinks he's better than me. He thinks he's going to goad me into trying to fight him, but I know the stakes. I'm a young waiter and he's an old lawyer. He could fight me, and if he wins, what am I gonna do? I'm just a kid. If he loses, he could sue me for everything I got, ruin my life, put me in jail maybe. That kind of man is called a coward, and it infuriates me to know that I'm going to have to put up with him again. I later asked the cook why he was talking to the guy. Apparentely the cook has recieved the same kind of attitude problems from the same guy himself. So he wanted to sit down and enjoy watching him eat his meal. He made it 'special'.[/color][/size][/QUOTE] That's what I'd call harassment. If he keeps coming into your place of work to try to instigate you. Then you should tell your supervisor so this man can be barred from the premisis. I mean the guy's supposed to be a lawyer, right? Then maybe he should know about how [i]not[/i] to get himself in a shedload of legal trouble, right? Your place of work is private property owned by someone and your employer's first priority should be the safety of his/her employees. Okay rant over, I want to play too. Back in the day I used to work as a cashier at Tops ( A grocery store chain in Western New York State) and since I was over 18 I worked the 6PM to close shift. And dear El did I have some good stories so sit back and I'll tell you all complete with nicknames. [b]Lobster guy[/b] One week the seafood department was running a special on live Maine lobsters selling them for $4.99 per pound. So this guy comes through my line with four separately bagged lobsters and when I get to the last lobster the dang thing moves its tail and me being me, I freak out and toss the thing down my conveyer belt. The guy gives me this look like I tossed his grandma out a window and tosses his money at me. Of course I tell him to have a nice day. [b]Sealtest Skim Milk lady[/b] There was this older woman who would come into the store about an hour before closing and always buy a quart of Sealtest skim milk. And Lord help us if the milk delivery hadn't come in and we were out. She would have one of us call the maintenance guy who was acting as night manager and start to tear him a new one- and us because there wasn't that brand of milk. Never mind that the store brand was right there on the shelf. I'm not sure, but I think we had to close the store once while she was on a rant.:animeswea [b] Bakery lady[/b] Thank El I only had to deal with this woman once. Her and her husband had gone through my line and had bought this item from the bakery but it had a tear in the plastic, so I had to ask one of the CSMs to go get me a new one. While she did that I put this woman's order on hold and began taking care of another customer. While I'm in the middle of that other order the CSM comes back with the first woman's bakery item and the woman starts demanding that I finish her order. When I calmly explain that I can't do that because I'm in the middle of a new order the woman grabs my arm and starts screaming at me. For some reason no one decides to say anything so I have to pry the woman off my arm and ask her not to touch me again. But I did finally get her to leave and I did finish her order. [b]My ex boyfriend[/b] This is just too stupid for words. After I started seeing my now ex husband my ex boyfriend came into the store one night two days before Thanksgiving while I have a line beginning to stretch down the cereal aisle and demanded to know why I dumped him and was seeing the other guy. He wouldn't leave until one of the other cashiers called one of the managers and he made my ex leave. And don't even get me started on some of my clients. That will just have to be in another post.[/color][/font]

[color=#9933ff][font=lucida calligraphy] I think I'm about a six right now. I lost one of my clients (and 12.5 hours) because she and her husband moved to assisted living (at least it wasn't a death *knock on wood* because that would have put me at about a two) I lost two of my friends (and 2 really expensive Italian DVDs) because his girlfriend is some kind of manipulative *censored* and he's too dumb to realize it. Plus he has a problem with my boyfriend doing nice things for me and that kind of put a stick up his *censored* So he blocked me from his AIM. And his girlfriend is still a liar. Speaking of that issue, my boyfriend and my former guy friend got into a fight so my boyfriend called him a snail sucking French *censored * ( the guy is from Québec and my boyfriend is from British Columbia) and so the guy put him on a hit list and is saying he's gonna kill him. Whatever. I just don't like that those two are regressing to elementary school. But I am getting new assignments and I do have a test tomorrow. No idea how that'll go. Ciao[/color][/font]

[color=#9933ff][font=lucida calligraphy] Oh lord where to begin? Recently I spent about 64 euros or roughly 84 USD on two boxed sets of the RAI release of the first season of Winx Club. Then the shipping killed me. I've done it before and I don't think I'll ever get used to shipping. I've spent $50 plus shipping on make up from Sephora (I can now buy it in the store) and I need to buy a passport, that'll be about $110.[/color][/font]

[color=#9933ff][font=lucida calligraphy]Damn. No wonder I got 98 out of 100 questions right on my state exam. I haven't gotten any in a while. Not that I'm all that intelligent. I mean I have high marks in reading, history and sciences but my math has always been terrible- I can't convert ounces to CCs without looking on the container. Thank God for those marks on the outside of foley bags. :animesigh. But I'm around average. So I think this could also explain other parts of my life. Note to self, stay away from boyfriend during next state exams and the next clinical. [/color][/font]
