@serenity Yes... Yes it should.

@blablarg18 Well.... To be fair, I kind of agree with the teacher on some level.

You can practice whatever belief system you want, but part of being Canadian is accepting EVERYONE. It's just part of the rules. I have often said if you want to come here, you had better be prepared to follow the same rules that apply to everyone else.

@blablarg18 Yup.... That's the show... I thinking more along the lines of this

Youtube Video

More specifically, this scene

@blablarg18 From what I've seen, many of these people who object have a double standard. They're perfectly okay with cheerleaders for example, but take issue the second that a drag queen does the EXACT same thing.

One specific example that I can think of is that they object to a drag queen spreading their legs during a routine, but yet have no problem with the opening credits from The Big Comfy Couch. The only difference between the two is that one is a gay man in women's attire, while the other is an actual woman.

They complain that drag on any level sexuallizes children, but yet have no problem with cheerleaders doing a routine. A lot of the cases that I have seen are clear cases of a double standard. They don't hate it because it's sexual.... They hate it because it's gay.

@ianfontinell The first thing that the site owner plans to do when taking down the old domain is to bring the forums to the new domain. Not much longer after that, the old domain will auto redirect to the new domain so it's all in one place.

@ianfontinell Just so you know, it's only a matter of time before the old domain is shut down, so this will only work for a while until the changes take place.

@raphjd I agree... What was once a form of protest against persecution has now become commercialized bullshit... Just to put it bluntly.

@john32123666 So when do they actually shut down? They still seem to be up and running.

@jaroonn Don't get me wrong... I'm all for equal rights. My only issue is with some of these people who do things like bomb threats, riots, looting, etc. as their method of "fighting" for these things.

In Canada, the Charter of Rights and Freedoms is clear that you have a constitutional right to PEACEFUL protest. When you start getting involved with things like bomb threats arming small children with weapons that no ordinary adult civilian has a need for, and/or inciting violence, there's a fine line that you cross. This is not unique to just trans people though. This standard applies to EVERYONE.

So while I'm all for the promotion of equal rights, I cannot say that I agree with or are in any way for the methods that some are using as their way of getting what they're after.

@blablarg18 Email screen caps always make me laugh. The information displayed in the top of the emails is rather easy to forge. As my own email provider, I can telly you that there's a lot more that the average user doesn't see (unless they get a little more advanced) that goes into validating the actual source of an email.

Being sent from a Gmail account (allegedly) makes it even harder to track down the legitimacy of the email, or even the end user. While Google does require that you provide a mobile phone number in which to tie your account to, these numbers are easy enough to fake as well, such as using an app like TextNow.

My other question is how was this email responded to? What was the outcome?

It seems that the woke trans agenda is rather bullshit and is based on terrorism, rather than anything that is actually meaningful and would make a positive impact on the community.

@blablarg18 It's a bit of a hard one to call really. On one hand, one could praise them for taking an active role in trying to reduce the crime rate of the store. On the other hand, one could argue that doing so potentially puts their safety at risk.

Personally, if I were in the same position, I can likely say that I would have done the same thing. When the perps involved become known to management as repeat offenders, something more needs to be done. After all, this was not just a one off situation. If it were, that may make things just a little different.

I mean, I know that businesses have insurance for just such things, but when the issue becomes a repeat or frequent occurrence, you really can't blame the employees for trying to do something about the problem. I do agree though with their husband's point that if this kind of thing continues to be allowed to happen unchecked, then they will end up like any other major US city with a raging crime problem. That's where it begins to get complicated on what side to take.

That said though, even saying that these employees did engage in a way that is contrary to company policy, termination seems a little harsh. You would think they would at least skip the initial disciplinary steps and go straight to a final written warning as a more acceptable solution to the breach of policy. After all, you could reasonably argue that these employees were looking out for the best interest of the store by trying to do something about a recurring issue.

@frostycab As far as I am aware, it is. The owner just recently did some fixes to it to make it work right again.

@serenity Why do you think liberals are so pro-illegals? It's the only way to sustain the population. On a global scale though, we are way over populated, so even if we redistribute people from over populated places to less populated places, the global population is still UN-sustainable according to these folks.

@blablarg18 The story does not give enough information. The claim now by the head office official is that they were terminated for trying to interfere or otherwise engage with the accused, but yet it does not mention how this exactly transpired.

Without knowing the full story behind the matter, it's hard to say which side to take. In most retail operations that I have worked, the rules are clear... I have been known to push the line when I worked in retail because you legally cannot harass someone or have them charged for theft until the merchandise has actually left the store, and you're not supposed to engage with them.

I would push the envelope. If I saw 5 items on 5 hangers go into the change room, and only saw 2 items on 2 hangers come out of the change room with the other 3 empty hangers in the change room, I would walk up to them as they're about to walk out the front door, hand them the hangers, and say something like "These are your get out of jail free cards. If those items magically reappear on these hangers in that change room in the next 5 minutes, I'll pretend I saw nothing". If they just ran or walked away, I would not engage any further. By most company policies, even my pushing the envelope is considered a no no.

The same holds true if a customer reveals a weapon and threatens to use it and/or demands that you open the register. Even if you know you can over power them and disarm them, you are not allowed to be a hero, and can only open the register, then hand over the cash and let them walk out of the store with it. Once they're out of the store, most places want you to then lock the door to prevent re-entry, then call 911.

Being the way that I am, I can understand why these employees would want to try to intervene, but given the world we live in these days, that can be quite a dangerous thing to do.

@blablarg18 But what would doing what is right for the people do for them? What could they gain from this? It seems that they can gain a lot more by trying to push products and services down people's throats to make them spend money on certain things to make other people rich. That's the way politicians work these days.

We do have an RSS feed, which can be brought into a number of programs in order to download certain torrents automatically.

@raphjd Personally, I use Mozilla Thunderbird myself. I have found it works with everything I want it to. My email servers, my Hotmail account, my Gmail account, and many other services I have tested it with.

I haven't tried it with Proton as of yet, however I would imagine it would handle that just as well as it handles everything else I have thrown at it.

@raphjd It's both... It's already come to light that there are a large number of vax related deaths, many of which get chalked up to other things like heart attacks. So of course he wants the population to get vaxxed because it will mean that many more of them will mysteriously drop dead, thereby helping to thin the population.

@john32123666 You stole that line from me LOL

@lololulu19 Would you like some cheese and crackers to go with that whine?
