Wow that's a B**ch, our departement was re-engenered out of existance and most of the employes were found a position in one of our sister offices. The only problem is the office is like 2hrs aways.

So my co-worker asked if there was a severance package offered for those who didn't want to go that far. Since our positions are being eliminated you usually have a choice to move to the new place or take a package and leave. You know what our manager told him? "If we look into this for you, we'll take that as your two weeks notice that you are leaving." In other words, if he asks for information, he has to quit without knowing if there is a package or not. They came back to him two weeks later and told him "sry but the package was offered and expired a month ago". So he's getting laid off with nothing...

Talk about corporate BS...

You know they say the grass is always greener..., but I think the greenhouse effect is drying out everyone's grass and it looks really brown right now. Anybody got a can of green spray paint?

Try cutting a manager, I heard they bleed green :rolleyes:

monkey boy G.W. Bush only know how to fight...

we all know Iraq doesnt have nuclear warheads
nor does it make a big threat on USA
only on Isarael

so why does Bush want war on Iraq?
to keep his ratings up there now that the taliban is done with of course...

with the world going into pieces, how can economy get well?
do they must send in land troops instead of special forces which means less casualties and less money spent?
and why not spend those money on helping high tech industries...

help the citizens, make our lifes better!!

I'll have to argue with you on that E.T. So much as Iraq having nukes your right they don't. But if listen noone says they do. But they are close. What they have is chemical and biological agents. And that's a fact because Saddam has used them on his own people. Repeatedly. They only fault their is in going after Iraq is that it's taken too damn long. Clinton was a pansy with little to no backbone. I don't like war (I know what it's like I've been there.) But if we don't do something we will reget it. If nothing is going on in Iraq why have they given us the runaround for 10 years. Something needs to be done. If it can be done peacefully with inspection great, and that is also what Bush is hoping for. But he's tired of Saddam two stepping around everything like he has for 10 years and wants the crap to end. If we don't push Saddam now he'll have us by the nuts later.

yes, ive been expecting a healthy debate

let us continue...

i do not think Iraq posses an immediate and direct threat to the USA itself
but i am pretty sure they will attack the isarael sometime
and the actual motive of the attack is to trick US to go into the streets and start throwing some missiles like they did in 1998 on that pill manufactoring plant.

if US gets tricked into that and jumps in with full forces, the arabs will have the Americans by the throat and it will definately unite all the arabs in middle east and that is exactly what Usama Bin Laden and Saddam wants to happen

well im sure all of you saw it on the news today
they agreed on taking action without UN's weapon inspection

my friend has this theory

he thinks that China has been secretly providing weapons for Iraq in order to have a fuel pipeline from Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait to china...

and US wants the Iraq pipeline to India to support US

im just shortening his theory, yes it sounds crazy and it is convincing when i heard the whole thing

Geographically speaking how would this pipeline be built? Asia is a very large land mass. Russia would be a large obstacle but it's still an interesting theory. Just a little impracticle if you ask me.

geographically, its where the interesting facts are at

but why would you say that Russia is a large obstacle?

by definitions of democracy, a democracy country should have middle class

but India, China, and Russia only has rich and poor, so economically these 3 countries are communism

Russia borrowed 100 billion from USA
and when one country depend on US, they hate US but pretends to like them in the surface
therefore, Russia shares information with China

The US spy plane china took down was to try and find out this as much as possible

i really dont know why they didnt use the U-2R

Well, if you going to debate, lets cover all aspects. President Bush is doing what no other democratic country will do, including your own. What he does now will protect you and your family for decades to come. Sadam is a threat to the US, he is neck deep in financing terrorist factions. He is a ruthless dictator that puts Hitler to shame. He gassed the Iranians in that war and US Personnel in the Gulf War. He killed his own brother for his throne, and put to death another brother and wives who tried to overthrow him. He doesn't give a dam about Ottawa, Quebec or Vancouver. Sadam was/is a threat to his own Arab neighbors. As reported, during the gulf war he was only one yr away from a nuclear weapon. Sad part is we have to go it alone - as usual.

Now lets look at your own country, Canada is knee deep in malaise. You are always bad mouthing Bush and his policies. Shouldn't you be fighting like hell to maintain what freedoms you have left there in Canada ? Your PM is whimp that can't pour piss from a boot, but he has steadily eroded away your own freedoms without a whimper. The average canadian pays up to 49 percent of his income in taxes. The Canadian Gov or law enforcement can now perform " Preventive Arrest " if they think you may someday commit a crime. I posted that on here awhile back. Canadians appear to be afraid to standup- step forward and speak out against their own Gov and elected officials, too polite as one told me, but you don't have any problem bashing Bush and the USA.

BTW this is your Thanksgiving wkend, what are you thankful for ? Shouldn't you be thankful for a good home, warm bed, three meals a day and some security against international terrorist like Bin and Sadam ?
Well, if you are , don't thank your own Gov. or elected officials. They haven't provided it. It is because you live in the shadow of and share the North American Continent with the USA.
Now here is a link that should quieten you off a little more.
