I know where you are coming from! I used to work as a CSR for a major American wireless communications provider. I worked out of Halifax, NS. Most americans I've spoken with believe Nova Scotia is an island somewhere in the South Pacific!
Imagine now if we could see England from Halifax...maybe with a telescope or a pair of high tech binoculars!
You have not met America like I have met America.
Funny, I've never had a customer rep job where I've spoken to Canadians.
Have not heard about the woman who, a few years back, put her three kids in a car then pushed the car into a lake because her "man" didn't want kids? It was all over the news.
Instead of complaining about it, why don't you give them the benefit of the doubt. reach out to them by making them aware of their potential and creating positions within your company or an affiliate company...even if they are volunteer positions...that are designed to re-introduce them into the workforce, offering these people some hope. As an executive, you must be in a position to authorize this. Who knows... it may also contribute to your own personal growth, helping you to become a better person with more understanding. Right now, you lack tolerance.
Just around the corner from home. That happened to me yesterday. The rain we had turned quickly into thunderstorms. Glad I made it home before the lightning struck. Literally!
Gilly, You have started a lot of threads, but you do not commit to them fully. You ask the questions, but give no input. For every question you've saked, we have yet to read an answer from you regarding your own experiences. Tell us, if none of us knows how to properly make love, give us some feedback on how you DO know! If you can't do that, you have no business making such insinuations. IMPO, I don't think there is one "proper" way to make love. It is different for each individual.
Do I believe in the death penalty? I know it exists in many parts of the world, therefore I believe in its existence. Do I AGREE with the death penalty? Absolutely not!
What is the death penalty but authorized murder? A crime for a crime. Where is the justice? Who really benefits? If the death penalty works, then why is Charles Manson still alive?
JMHO...I don't believe Americans, whether politicians or not, are too keen on change of any kind. I say this because during my lifetime, every president elect...not counting the ones assassinated for trying to initiate change...Has remained in office for two terms, (8 years)...but only because after the second term a NEW person must be elected. Look at the havoc GWB created early on in his first term, yet he was re-elected for a second term.
This shows either a lack of interest in immediate change or laziness on behalf of American voters.
Sorry to hear that Boban. The back is nothing to fool with. Take care of that first. Some things come upon us so suddenly. My landlords have become like my adopted family. Two days ago one of them had an attack at work that put him completely off balance, slurred his speech and blurred his vision. We took him to hospital thinking he had a stroke, but after two days of testing we were told he is stricken with MS. (Multiple Sclerosis) He is only 40 yrs old. It makes one want to take a second look at our lifestyles and habits.
I told my doctor I'll quit smoking the day he walks to work.
Once I was smoking in a public place and some guy walks up to me, points to a nearby sign and says; "Can't you read?" I say; "Sure!, it says 'No smoking within 16 ft of entrance."
He sneers and says; "Well?"
I said; "The entrance is way over there, that's the exit!" I ain't breakin' no laws!...
"signs, signs, everywhere a sign blockin' out the scenery breakin' my mind Do this, don't do that Can't you read the sign?".....
Now that I've had a bout with the virus, it's not really that bad. It creates a fun and interesting atmosphere here on CS. No conflicts here...or are there??
My 17 yr old niece is an aspiring trans gender. She knew from the start she was 'different'. She has a girlfriend who has no clue that my niece is female. She hides it very well. I'd Hate to be there when the truth be known.
I can actually see something like this happening. I don't think it will occur at 'gunpoint', but it will begin with the schools. When I was going to school, it wasn't mandatory that all children of the age of ten receive a hepititus B shot, but I had no choice but to consent to my daughter getting a hepititus B shot in three monthly increments when she was ten, which were given by the school. This is how they operate. The parents had no choice in the matter.
