I am sure there was a problem with that 'drunken native' at the first meeting/protest.

An aside: they have everything handed to them, so what can they even be protesting about??

Another con goody: now it's drunken natives

OK.....In defense of what Colpy is saying, if nobody else is going to step forward...
Colpy makes a good point with pointing out potential reverse discrimination, which
happens to be just another form of discrimination.

Could the "THEY" & "THEM" & "THOSE PEOPLE" be in reference to the protesters,
and not to anyone of a specific ethnic background? Just who would be stupid enough
to bring Booze to a protest inside of a government office? That special type of stupid
transcends racial, ethnic, and gender boundaries...

Good Call, Karrie :D

back to the point, I have more of an issue with the "IF you behave", it sounds as if she was addressing children. I would be surprised if "they" (see what I did there?) were as ill-behaved as most MPs during a session of parliament, but even with their childish antics they don't actually get dressed down like idiotic children

well, what on earth was the question or statement she was responding to? What was the background of the exchange? 'If you behave' is sometimes, well, exactly what people need to hear. And I mean PEOPLE. I don't give a group a walk based on skin color. If you're acting like a dumbass, I'll tell you you need to smarten up. If you think that's wrong because of the color of my skin, then it's YOU who has the problem with race, not me.

Sometimes, you just have to wonder about the people who interpret "they" and "them" and "those people" then translate it into their own agendas. A drunk is a drunk - red, yellow, black, white (various shades of BROWN) or green with purple polka dots....

"One of them showed up the other day and was drinking ... I'm not calling you an alcoholic. No. It was just to say that you're in a federal office. If you're coming in to negotiate, I expect, there's decorum that has to be respected."

Was one of the group drinking? If one of their group was drinking, then her telling that group, or a member of that group, that she has no problem with them if they're sober, seems like a fairly reasonable statement. She says nothing about their race in those quotes.

Now, if none of them (them as in their group... not them as in natives) were showing up drinking, then it's a different story.
That is the way I saw it also. It really doesn't matter about race or religion,but if you come to my place for a meeting and one or more of your group are drunk,I will admonish your group,like the immature children you are. The leader of this group would have known if one of the group was drinking and should have kept him out of the meeting. Instead,when they are called on it,they throw out the race card. That is BS,that is playing the victim to cover your own poor decisions...

Sorry, you're right, I just found the remarks to be in poor taste somehows, but I guess it's just me :D

I find myself reading stuff like this, taking it at its face value and its spin, and then turning it over, looking at it from the other angle, and seeing if it still looks the same. Not to say you don't do the same of course, but, while I don't like the Conservative sometimes, the other angle just didn't look the way it was painted in this article. To me anyway.

It dosen't matter, Colpy being the good little soldier of the cons dosen't get many things including the meaning of hypocrisy and he certainly dosn't know anything about optics.

Cons never think before they open their big fat mouths which is why Harper muzzles the people he wants us to elect......some of them are complete idiots.:lol:

Way to go,Avro. With your blanket statement that 'cons never think before they open their big fat mouths' you have given us all a perfect example of hypocrisy.

I guess you missed the part where I said "some"......you should keep reading before you open your big fat mouth.:lol:

So I assume you agree the PM should muzzle the people he wants us to vote for.

Yes or no?

No,no muzzle. But you should go back and read what you wrote previously. The 'some' came after the periods............. indicating a different line of thought.

So no muzzle then, okay, I assume you will take that up with your local MP. Will you vote for someone who does not muzzle their candidates or will you look the other way?

Prepare for your lesson in hypocrisy.:lol:

I did read it, in fact I wrote it, I guess I assumed you'd be smart enough to get that I meant that the ones with big fat mouths are idiots.....like you.:lol:

Having worked with reserve natives it is a common admonition; come to the meeting civil and sober or there will be no meeting. Check the stats for drinking and belligerence on reserves.

Hey the stats are correct the problem exists the admonition is customary and normal in any venu. The stupid conservative however had not the common sence to engage his pie hole regulator in the presence of recording devices. What he said is not the crime, when he said it is.
So we have a problem with the general intelectual quality of the average conservative, I believe these characteristics have been covered ad nauseum. However one more reminder may save lives, the average conservative is a stupid boreish lout and should be muzzled indoors and hobbled on the street to prevent chaseing of cars.
