Feminists Will Be Foaming At The Mouth!

I was going to say their heads will be exploding, but that's just not politically correct anymore. They are going to go bananas, those little monkeys, when they read this article:

It’s time feminists, who see discrimination ­everywhere, realized that.....

Women’s choices are not the same as men’s! The main word, that feminists use endlessly against everything, is that all encompassing word, CHOICE. It's a woman's CHOICE to have an abortion. My body, my CHOICE. It gives them a false sense of empowerment. Yeah! I made the CHOICE to kill my baby! Wrong, but that's only one element to feminism.

One of the other big issues is "equal pay for equal work". Nothing wrong with that, everyone would agree.

Women today achieve great things and can envision the highest levels of accomplishment. But contrary to conventional wisdom, this results not only from actions by feminist groups but also from the profound transformation of the labour market in free societies. In effect, it is due mostly to the technological and industrial progress that brought about a shift from a society where men’s brute force (a biological fact) was needed in the workplace to a knowledge society where almost anyone can sit in front of a computer and generate a decent income.

Ouch, don't tell the feminists that men (metrosexuals excluded) are physically more powerful than women, that is not in their man-hating computer.

In the midst of this evolution and the accompanying successes, it is sad to note that what we hear most often about women is that they need help, they are fragile and poor, they can’t help themselves and are discriminated against. And this comes from feminist groups! They see discrimination everywhere: women sitting on boards, women in politics, women in engineering or mining. But now that women are free to choose their careers, it is possible that they may not be interested in those occupations for all sorts of reasons (travel, long hours, tastes, physical endurance, etc.). We must respect the free choice of women and should not push them into careers they do not want.

Free CHOICE? Are you kidding me? Feminists don't want free CHOICE, they want men out of the picture and all women to be victims, of something, anything. Personal responsibility for their own success or failure is not something feminists understand. They do not want women actually CHOOSING to stay home and raise their family, that is not a CHOICE, to them, it is a regression for their movement, not the empowerment of women. They are not going to like this article from five strong, confident women.

What we want is simple. It has been proven over and over that what it takes to improve anyone’s lot on this earth are economic and legal freedoms enabling us to fulfill ourselves to the best of our abilities — nothing more and nothing less.

To the best of our abilities...that's not something feminists understand. Read the whole article.

Enlighten Us All You Non Believers!

I am embarrassed to say I ever graduated from this institute of "higher learning". It was bad 30 years ago, it appears it has deteriorated even further through the years.

This is what passes for intellectual discourse these days:

University of Alberta may excise God from grad speech

In the speech, the chancellor urges those in mortar boards to use their newly granted parchments for "the glory of God and the honour of your country."

Bushfield said the reference is outdated and not reflective of recent national surveys that suggest one twenty-something in three doesn't believe in God.

"We want an inclusive convocation where everyone feels welcome and able to participate," said Bushfield.

I remember what a snob I was because I thought being in university made me better than those people staying on the farm to work. I remember how I was forced to listen to "Moonies" telling me why they were right and I was wrong. I remember having to sit and listen to a gay person tell me how his Mom dressed him up in girls clothes to model them for her clothes store. I remember how I knew I should feel enlightened, and as a small town girl, I just didn't understand why this should concern me at all, except to get a passing grade in an artsy course.

You see, I never got with the program because I never understood what the lefties were after. I could have cared less, I wrote them off as a weird crowd, and went on with my studies. It seems they are still at it, except they are not fringe groups anymore. The radicals we ignored 30 years ago, are now a force to be reckoned with because they are the vocal minority shouting over the silent majority.

Upon reaching the gruelling end of a long and tiresome journey, students embark across a stage for the convocation. Yet, despite the movement toward multicultural inclusiveness and tolerance, this is one stage that keeps the flame of bigotry burning bright.

Bigots???? Mentioning God makes us bigots?

Main Entry:
big·ot Listen to the pronunciation of bigot
Pronunciation:
\ˈbi-gət\
Function:
noun
Etymology:
French, hypocrite, bigot
Date:
1660

: a person obstinately or intolerantly devoted to his or her own opinions and prejudices ; especially : one who regards or treats the members of a group (as a racial or ethnic group) with hatred and intolerance

Who is the real bigot here, who is being intolerant and a hypocrite? If you are so offended by a reference to God, refuse your degree, that will show us bigots. Better yet, refuse to take any public funding from Christians, pay the full bill for your education. Also do not work in a firm that might have Christian people working there, you might hear God mentioned! Do not build any bridges for firms that might have Christians involved, they might say "Thank God" when the bridge stands.

If you truly do not believe in God, then any reference to him should not worry you. Hypocrites talk out of both sides of their mouths; I do not believe in God, but any reference to God causes me to protest, because you should believe like I do. If you do not, you are a bigot.

A recent Canadian Press Harris-Decima survey suggests that around 36 per cent of Canadians under 25 don’t believe in a god. This means that when the chancellor issues his charge, he’s discriminating against all the students who disagree with the idea of living in fear of a deity. He also offends the senses of the majority who believe that a public institution should have no stance on religious issues. Atheism and agnosticism aren’t the only beliefs under attack— the idea of separation of church and state is as well.

So you don't believe in God, but you live in fear of a deity? Public institution, funded by who? Do any Christians pay property taxes? Discrimination? How about supporting the foundation on which this country was built, a Christian foundation?

I am ashamed that such a narrow minded person is getting any media attention, and as an alumni, I will not send anymore funds to the U of A, because obviously, my Christian money, is not wanted. Fine by me, I can donate more to my favorite charity instead, Dogs With Wings, they don't care whether I believe in God or not.

This guy is going to get a very rude awakening when he actually gets out into the "real" world.

Update: It appears an associate professor from Minnesota and his robots, have been freeping the Edmonton Sun poll. Wonder what all the anti-America U of A university students feel about that? Right, that's what I thought, you like Americans who support your views.

I Call Discrimination.......

Against the RCMP. What is this guy going to do if he does become a Mountie, sue criminals? Please HRC's, I was discriminated against because the criminal only shot at me, they should have shot at only the other officers. Please HRC's, I was discriminated against because the RCMP sent me to a cold northern post, not the post I wanted in Toronto.

Mounties ordered to re-admit cadet

A former RCMP cadet tossed out of the force’s training program after enduring weeks of racial discrimination won a hefty financial settlement and a second chance to fulfil his “lifelong dream” today after the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal ruled in his favour.

Fine, he gets $500,000 for his pain and suffering, and gets to re-enroll in the RCMP program. Is he happy now????? It appears not.

The tribunal ordered the RCMP to pay for lost wages, suffering, and legal costs — a figure Tahmourpour’s lawyer Barry Weintraub pegged at about $500,000.

The order to give Tahmourpour a chance to re-enrol in the cadet program came despite his request that he be installed as an officer at a level commensurate with fellow cadets.

He wants to become an "instant" officer, by-pass the training required, get a raise, and if that isn't enough, he wants to help other visible minorities also learn how to sue and win $500,000 settlements.

Given his “unique insight” into race relations, the Iranian-Canadian said he hopes to one day be in a position within the RCMP in which he can help fellow officers who may be encountering similar experiences.

Was he tortured? What happened to this poor victim, that caused him to fight for 9 years to be allowed to re-enroll in the RCMP?

Tahmourpour first took his case to the Canadian Human Rights Commission in March 2001 where he cited incidents of verbal abuse and unfair performance evaluations. Among his chief grievances was that a superior officer made comments about a pendant he wore as a symbol of his faith and that his Arabic signature was mocked.

The commission, however, dismissed his complaint, saying his firing was the result of poor job performance.

The Federal Court agreed with that decision but on appeal, the court was found to have ignored “crucial evidence” — essentially the RCMP’s own statistics — which showed “systemic discrimination.”

Gosh darn, that is so cruel, my heart almost stopped just thinking about the pain he suffered. How did he survive? Poor performance evaluations, a pendant he wore gets mentioned, and the all encompassing, verbal abuse. It's a sad tale of pain, suffering, bad manners by RCMP officers, and well lack of the level of respect this cadet obviously deserved.

This is the new face of our RCMP officers, that should make us all proud of the work of this Human Rights Tribunal, we now get:

An “advisory committee” or “multiculturalism officer” should also be appointed to make recommendations to the training centre’s commanding officer in an effort to prevent discrimination, the decision stated.


So, a real Federal Court dismissed his case, but he continued to sue until he won with, you guessed it, a HR Tribunal, better known as Kangaroo Courts. Wonder what the Tribunal will do if the RCMP assign a tough, but disabled, female RCMP officer to help him though his new RCMP experience, and she claims discrimination because he won't respect her? What to do, what to do. Does a disabled female trump a visible minority male? Oh wait, a female is a visible minority, and she's disabled, so her rights should count for more than his rights, and well white male's rights....they have none.

Get a clue HRC's, you are already under the microscope for your decisions in other matters, and you go and do this? Because of statistics that supposedly show "systemic discrimination"? Do you have no idea how easy statistics are to manipulate? Here's an example.

Insurance companies use statistics to discriminate against young male drivers. Their statistics clearly show that male drivers under 25 get in more accidents, than say, granny, who only drives one block to Church every Sunday. That's the clue.
