Precisely, twit. You did not use the word 'erga' because you did not know that you should have. IT IS THE CORRECT WORD.


He mispelled it.... big fu cking deal. Are you that anal as well as a liar and an idiot that you need to center on whether an "s" was added to a word or not?

Irrelevant, that wasn't your claim. I may have spelled it wrong, but unlike you, I know what it means and how it was established regarding self determination.

The Helsinki Accords, agreements of whatever you want to call them, deferred to the fundamental human right of self determination. It did not frame it.

And Cabbagefarts gets...



You have been proven to be a liar and a fraud Cabbagefarts.

But please don't let that stop you from posting here. I enjoy PWN'ing you, repeatedly.

Well it depends on the industry as well - I know for a lot of teachers, they're simply fukked if they're just entering the workforce. But one would hope that someone can get a job either in their field or something that is complementary to their degree. Business graduates driving cabs for a living is not good for them and not good for the rest of us either.

To a point. There are lots of teaching jobs open, just not in downtown Toronto. I have a niece that grew up in the burbs that teaches in a remote Rez. and loves it. Same for business school grads. A year working in a real job and gaining some life experience will not harm them and just might give them a whole different perspective on running a business as opposed to ruining a business.

Can't read, gerry? He insists that he is correct. He has argued over a couple of posts where I corrected his use of the term.

As I said! Quit fawning over him. He is a poseur.

I would think if one contemplating a teaching career would check the demographics, he/she would find the demand is much less than it once was when families typically had five or six kids. :smile:

A spelling error isn't an incorrect use of the term. Stop lying, you look silly.

Your argument was backwards anyways. Although I'm sure you can explain that with some more of your lies.

I'm the only one out of the two of us, willing to discuss self determination, it's origins and how it is empowered.

The only fraud here, is you.

As always, you want the last words. No matter how feeble.

You are a joke.
And you're my punchline.

If you were anything but, you would want to school me on the origins of self determination, and how it is empowered.

Especially with your self proclaimed extensive knowledge on the subject.

Instead you have exhausted all credibility, with immature chest thumping and juvenile obfuscation. While exposing the fact that you have no idea what it is, where it began and how it gained erga omnes.

Removing any and all doubt, that you are indeed a fraud and a liar.

Your only value here, is simply for being the recipient of good mocking and excellent punchlines to my jokes.

True but if you can follow the leftie logic they think you must be given your chosen job at your chosen local regardless of the business case for it. That is why there are 20 somethings sitting in their parent's basements in Toronto with no jobs while employers go begging for workers in the north.

To put it simply, Bear, I do not want to school anyone about anything. I do not sustain a fragile ego, as you seem to do, with that want. I want only civilized discussion and exchange of ideas and information.

You clearly have no knowledge of this question yet want to try to bluster your way through and bulldoze others. You don't even seem to grasp where erga omnes does fit into the concept of the Right to self determination of peoples. Or that it is only peripheral to that question since it sheds no light on the factors that confer that Right.

You even talk of wanting to 'argue' the origin of erga omnes. Why, I cannot imagine since the question is about self determination of peoples. You, presumably, want to talk of the case in International Law in which the concept was framed.

Have you no idea that the origins are shrouded in the mists of history since, among others, it is concerned with property Rights that have been argued since Man first learned to speak.

Your wish is entirely off topic and should be in some separate discussion about Human Rights. That is one that I will not participate in since, though I have been very much involved and active in that are for many years, I have no wish to listen to hordes of people shouting about some pet idea.

That's a lie. You were the first to make uncivilized accusations in this conversation.

You don't even seem to grasp where erga omnes does fit into the concept of the Right to self determination of peoples.

Speaking of bluster. That was an excellent example of BS.

More lies.

More bluster and BS. You already stated it was the Helsinki Agreements that framed it.

Your wish is entirely off topic and should be in some separate discussion about Human Rights. That is one that I will not participate in since, though I have been very much involved and active in that are for many years, I have no wish to listen to hordes of people shouting about some pet idea.
Excellent cop out. Your fear of further embarrassment is obvious.

You liars and frauds are predictable.

$4500 a year (15%) is more than enough to get going. In just 5 years you could be sitting on $22578 at 10% without using a single tax credit.
yea tha's great, thanks for playing. BTW Goldman Sachs is looking for guys who can pull in 10% consistently. gogogo

My point was the only income that counts is disposable income, which increases exponentially with increased earnings. That's all, that's it. it is a neo=-liberal lie to portray those with incomes from 30K-100K as being the "middle class." The disparity in living standards in this income range is simply astounding.


Colby I bet the $$$ is a trifle amount to what the Conservatives have spent, fraudulently or otehrwise, and here you are litke a little fascist crooning away in glee equating NDP wrongdoings with the "In and out" scandals, callgate and just the fact that the Cons will be able to double the spending of all other contenders combined. Such equivocation is nonsense.

I can't speak for the attitudes/beliefs in the USA, but in Canada, the track record is rapidly morphing into a circumstance that is appearing to resemble a welfare state. The 'protests' in Quebec by the student body is potential representation of what some folks expect. A jurisdiction with the lowest tuition fees (in Canada) in a province that is ranked #5 in all the industrial nations for the size of its debt...

That's quite an accomplishment in itself.

What is especially alarming is that this attitude is no different from the 'Occupier' philosophy that was spawned in your nation and had a shadow movement here in Canuckistan. By in large, it is the same (similar) demographic and the spirit of the demands is essentially identical.

In my view, the demands for 'equality' (whatever that really means) represents such an intangible ideal that the only reasonable interpretation is that it would manifest itself in a redistribution of the wealth from one group to another. We can argue all day about why or why not it could possibly happen, but in the end, it comes down to one group (in this case the ows'ers) looking to gain materially for doing nothing.

Call it entitlement or equality or whatever you like, it is still a form of welfare in my eyes.



I guess the bottom line is, welfare is only so in the eyes of the beholder.

By contrast, as I have proven already, NFL officials openly demanded a billion dollar handout and got it as taxpayer expense and those on the political right wing failed to put a stop to it. OWS is still protesting because they have gotten nothing. It is a fair bet that had their wishes had been met, just as was done with the NFL billionaires, they would all be at home right now.

Oh by the way, you will recall how loud and profane the Tea Baggers were until the day of the oil disaster in New Orleans. When they realized that they would not survive without a huge handout from Obama they all went home. Their silence back then, like their silence when welfare queen Roger Goodell came here, was only too noticeable.

There will be a vast difference in what is deemed welfare between the providers and the recipients.

Quid pro quo.... That's the big difference between the NFL and the occupiers

Ahhhh, are we forgetting that the direct cash infusion from BP almost broke the company? Billions of dollars in from the company and as it turns-out, the environmental damage was only a fraction of what was projected.

While we're at it, let's not forget that Obama had regulators involved with that project from day1 and they gave all the approvals for the work that lead to the disaster. The feds did (and do) owe compensation and support to the local communities for the role that they played in that fiasco

That's all, that's it. it is a neo=-liberal lie to portray those with incomes from 30K-100K as being the "middle class." The disparity in living standards in this income range is simply astounding.

Disposable income is a direct expression of expenses and lifestyle.

No one can touch the liberals on this, it doesn't get much more fraudulent when you're handing out 100's of millions in brown bags.

Right now the neo Cons and the NDP has leaders The Liberals don't have a leader so while the party is rebuilding and getting set for their leadership meeting they are enjoying the antics of the neo Cons and the NDP. Slap Happy and The Bean Counter producing good ole Canadian comedy paid for by the taxpayer.

Total spill costs are still near $40 Billion, including settlements with the seafood industry and other economic losses and medical expenses for the clean-up workers. That's just the figure on the BP sheets. Transocean, Halliburton, and Cameron still have open claims against them yet to be decided/settled. All around, that spill and the events surrounding it are a fiasco.
