ok, not yet....... but this could be a move in that direction.. things are gonna get weird.. metatron.

They do have a right to protect their language and culture. To some, older generation, it was obvious that English Canada wanted to assimilate them and water down the French culture with unfair immigration laws. They wanted an English Quebec, or should I say a non French Quebec, they failed because us French can tell when someone is trying to fk with us. Too bad the younger generation doesn't see it for what it is. So now Canada has two official languages. Deal with it, the English drew first blood on this one.

I would really like to see numbers on how money is distributed across Canada. I don't think Quebec is the worst leech of the Canadian Confederacy.

The Acadians were easy prey, but not so much the Quebecois, heh

What is up with the influx of electronic readers at the Kingdom Hall

by wannabefree in

crazy!.

the local publishers seem to be jumping on the e-reader bandwagon.. sisters even in their 70's are showing up at the hall with ipads loaded with publications for the meetings for crying out loud!.

a couple of these elderly sisters are having me get theirs ready ... should i add coc and captives of a concept ... perhaps studies vol vii ... to the library for them.

badseed

It's allowed because what would the elders' wifes do without their iphones for a few hours. If it was just a teenager thing, they'd have them burn those damn things in the kingdom hall parking lot. It's all about the perspectives..lol.

btw, met some jws this morning, they're going online..lol. From what I understand it'll be easier to offer the message in more languages.

What would Jesus do?

by Christ Alone in

jw
friends

let's not get into an argument over if jesus was historical or not.. i'd just like to know how you think the jesus of the 4 gospels would act and do things in our modern world.

who would he talk to?

what sorts of miracles would he perform?

badseed

They would make sure he gets the brochure on how to properly dress. "Jesus, you need a suit and tie. Oh, and would you please stop asking everyone if you can wash their feet"

Ransom paid. But still you gotta suffer!

by punkofnice in

with my recent rise to atheistic agnosticism(?

) i pondered this:.

if the death of jesus paid the ultimate price.....then why didn't it all end there and then and everyone got to heaven or walk into paradise with a panda?.

badseed

It's because of all the hidden fees. Didn't you read the fine print..lol

Meet President "Obama Fish"

by Scott77 in

meet the 'obama fish'.

scientists have named 5 newly discovered fish after former and current u.s. political leaders, including president barack obama, bill clinton, al gore, jimmy carter, and teddy roosevelt because of their environmental leadership and commitment.

interesting how all these 5 fish are colored 'blue' all but teddy roosevelt were democrats!

badseed

I'm sure these scientists will end up being called racists.

A bunch of blondes in a bar cheer everytime they order a round "TWELVE DAYS, TWELVE DAYS" After a few of these, the bartender walks up to them and says "What's up with the twelve days thing?"
One of the blonde replies, "Well, Barbie here made a puzzle in twelve days and the box said 2 to 4 years".

The End of Cheap Chinese Goods-What will it Mean for You?

by fulltimestudent in

the yahoo7 web-site (aussie version) carries an item with this heading.. find it at:.

its clear (to me, anyway) that big changes are coming, and have been in the pipe-line for at least 5 years.

it was about that long ago, that i noticed a news report saying that the guangdong (provincial) govt.

badseed

Even if they'd give the Chinese workers 100% raise it would still be cheap labor, prices won't be affected that much. Glad to see the Chinese workers demanding more, though. Just goes to show that in today's world you can't keep people in the dark for very long.

So Do You Think The Economy Will Change For The Better, Remain The Same Or Get Worse?

by minimus in

what's your prediction?.

badseed

It always goes up eventually. How else would the scammers make money? I would say the DOW is about ready to break the 14000 barrier again. By 2018 it should be well above 16000. Real estate will tripple in value (bankers are well stocked right now). It's only numbers in a spreadsheet anyway. Manipulate and sell when it's high to a bunch of unsuspecting fools who believe it'll continue on it's way up, and voila, cash in (who cares if they lose their shirt). Let it drop again, and the cycle restarts. Not really rocket science but it can get a little complicated I guess. Another 6 months to a year and it's back up again till about 2020.

For us regular Joes, it's just another day in "can I afford that pink slime burger at McD" land.
