Re: Canadian companies TIGHT wads!!!
You are a bad person
BAD!
Re: silly yankees
An interesting statistic I read a long while ago is that the majority of Canadians and Americans, after high school, do not read even one book. Scary, neh?
Re: Now that the "Fascist" comment is out of the way...
Ok, I said neo colonial imperialism, because it was said that war is a means to an end, but so is peace. Fine. Thinking of it that way, it seems that the interests of the state take precedence over the well-being and peaceful lives we, the people, strive for. If peace was a means, then it means that those who appreciate the peace (we, the people) have not a say on its perpetuation, because any of the state's "ends" ...
Re: YAY! I've reached the name calling!!!
Ok, whoa. I wasn't using the word at you to attack your argument, or you, really. You mentioned Machavelli (sp?), and I was attempting to convey the message that if you use his as a philosophy to defend war in this modern world, that is a reversion to fascism. The Prince was describing a successful ideal for a monarch, but it was authoritarian. Nondemocratic. Acknowledges limited personal freedoms (in fact, almost zero). It placed the good of the state ...
Re: silly yankees
I agree with all of this. It seems to me that we sit here, across the pond, fighting each other over differences which are imperfect and undesirable. Its like fighting over a rotten sandwich while a buffet stands a short distance away.
Re: silly yankees
I agree. I am not an I Hate America, I Love Canada retard. I think that western style opulence is spiritual and cultural poison, and I disagree with it. US, Canada, all. The US is bigger than us, and affiliated with more corporate and private interests, so is a bigger target. Sooner or later, Canada will be hit. Will I feel sad? Yes. Will I feel it was an act of evil? Maybe. I don't agree with religious wars, ...
Re: silly yankees
Oh, and you're right on another point, but you're only right when you consider sarcasm.
You don't need to fight on your soil? I'm sorry, what? You can run across the world, deploy your troops, kill many people, bulldoze (That's right, this happened in Gulf War I) over people as you march into the heart of some other country, destroying houses, schools, businesses; does the US empathize? NO! They don't care, the war is far away, news is limited to ...
Re: silly yankees
You're right.
I should have said "Nation's who perpetuate the spread of capitalism and western values" I single out the US simply because it are the binding force for this phenomenon: the US makes this its business.
Don't call me ignorant. Your thread was full of ridiculous claims and prejudice, and I have no doubt that you are indeed a big fool.
Re: silly yankees
This is absurd. If the US really had that attitude, they wouldn't have waited 2 years to join WWII, they would have, you know, helped stop the global threat immediately. But they waited until they were attacked. The US also has a big issue with its own adolescence; they don't seem to realise that they are young, and that they have never had a major war fought on their soil. As far as your comment about nuclear HOLOCAUST and ...
Re: People are so cute...
Silly people. Use 1-800-331-0500, for ALL customer care. By using the wireless number, it routes you to the proper department, blue AND orange. NEVER use 800-888-7600. Never!
Re: People are so cute...
Nice. I've gotten 15 (yes, fifteen) dead airs today, and 5 short calls.
Re: pronound?
Or perhaps a derailed attempt at prolonged?
pronound?
What is this word? ProFound? PronouNCEd?
Re: The Truth about Telesales...
Sweet :)
Re: silly yankees
No, just because you have a vote and you can be informed, doesn't mean that the choice isn't tainted. That's what I meant, and if you read the context I used it in, you'd see that.
Where did the pro-life comment come from? Sorry, is the US waging war on abortion participants, or are you deluded about the cause they invaded Iraq? Because, if you'll remember, it was over WMD. Oh, wait, then it was to get Saddam. WAIT! Then ...
Re: silly yankees
Or cell phones!
Re: silly yankees
Just because you don't sneeze, doesn't mean you don't have a cold :P
Re: silly yankees
So you support neo-colonial imperialism? Or worse, a government that avoids its domestic difficulties via ongoing war? Or do you believe that the reasons Bush gave are valid?
If you for one second belive that the US invasion was justified, I'd like to hear how. The only country that was in an uproar over Iraq was the US. Were they a threat? No. Were they under a brutal regime? Yes, but how many horrible dictators have been supported by the ...

Just guessing, but I'd say not many.
Re: 1000 Anytime for $39.99?? She lied! Insider help?
Nope, loyalty team. Go to the blue side, we can get them there :)
Re: 1000 Anytime for $39.99?? She lied! Insider help?
The retention (loyalty) team can migrate people to a plan, under cingular, that is 39.99, no N&W, unlim MTM, and 100 rollover. Only migrations done by the save team can get this plan.
Re: The Truth about Telesales...
Do you have a number for them?
Re: silly yankees
Fine. I rescind any generalization I may have made concerning the American people. I still think your culture is pollution, and my mental environment is a lot cleaner since I started boycotting your media, but whatever. I know that canadians and americans are virtually identical, and the only way to tell the diffrence is to make that observation to a canadian. But what about the violence? Your country has been fighting, in some way or another, since WWII. How ...
Re: silly yankees
Sorry. Americans are victims of a stale polluted culture. No quantity of nationalist reasoning can dispute this. True, it is unfair to take a group such as 'Americans' and attack them as the same group. Ad hominem absolutes aren't reasonable. But I am sorry for Americans, because of the drumbeat of propaganda and 2-second soundbytes of sensationalist nonsense that they're exposed to all the time. We cannot ignore the fact that the US declares itself the most peaceful democratic ...
Re: Let's recap....
Wrote this a while ago, thought I'd throw it in here so that PAR is revealed for the incompetent policy it is...
To whom it may concern,
Recently Cingular Wireless implemented a policy by which it rates the performance of its call-centers’ employees. These metrics are collectively known as PAR, and they measure 4 parameters: Average Handle Time (AHT), Availability (Your time logged into the phone, minus the after-call work and hold time), Short Calls (defined as calls less than 20 ...

Re: 51 Available and no Voluntary Go-Home?
Well, I'm spoiled and I ALWAYS get VGH (except on Saturdays), and without it, I have to stay here for another 3 freaking hours. Accchhkk.
51 Available and no Voluntary Go-Home?
:x
What's the deal? I can go home when there are 4 available, but today comes along and I can't go home early.
Sooooo nice outside, just wanna blaze a joint and drink beer in my hammock.
Sigh
Time for a one on one
Re: Holy Sensitive Topic, Batman
The word is sniggger, less one g, because the forum's programmer (or the policy maker behind him/her) was a doofus
Holy Self-Reply, Batman
PS
The word that best describes my reaction is "snigger"
Holy Heap-o'-dyslexia, Batman
*bing!* goes the whats-its-jigger on my head, and lady starts talking. Blah blah blah cancel my service, so on. Ask her for her wireless number, it didn't pull up. She corrected, still no. Went to the computer, where she was logged into OCS, and came back and reported the number as being exactly as she said in the first place EXCEPT......all the 3's she said were 4s, and vice versa
Wow

Re: CLONING IS NOT A LAUGHING MATTER........and singy still sucks
See, I'm not a big SF person. I just appreciate quality SF. Scott Card, Asimov (every so often) and Heinlein are among them, but there are others that I don't remember as well. I REALLY like Stephen Baxter though, the man is a SF wizard
Re: CLONING IS NOT A LAUGHING MATTER........and singy still sucks
:lol:
If Heinlein is good for you, then you must involve yourself with the Ender and Shadow series from Orson Scott Card
Mmmmm, Scott Card *drool*
Re: CLONING IS NOT A LAUGHING MATTER........and singy still sucks
Ha ha ha
My Heinlein is limited to A Door into Summer
A gooder, too
Re: CLONING IS NOT A LAUGHING MATTER........and singy still sucks
Keep your nickel, what's the reference? :?
Re: CLONING IS NOT A LAUGHING MATTER........and singy still sucks
Soner or later, we'll get the culturing of stem cells down pat, so Bush and anyone else can go "piss up a rope," because then stem cell research will be no more insidious than experimenting on a tumour. Until then, flame on, little pro-lifers, because I hope, one day, a bear eats you, and as you die, you'll realize that life is only precious when it serves your own interests/beliefs.
Re: Customers 2 Cents
Wow, someone thinks a great deal of their own diagnostic abilities. Sorry, you can't make statements like this. As much as people might nod at the stereotype, or realize the setting is appropriate, no one would be able to defend these statements.
For your especially heinous misuse of logic, I give you three solid WHACKs with the wiffle bat of reason.
WHACK
