You can get a job if you do speak English only, or French only, in Quebec. But that limits you choices. Being bilingual is a plus. Are you serious about no job if you do not speak French in NB? I though NB was officially a bilingual province.

That is fueled by ignorance. If you learn the "others" languages you understand more their way of thinking and you gain their trust and respect.
"Free speech zones were put in place for people who think their right to free speech trumps everybody else's right to free speech."
1) a free speech zone implies that outside of the zone there is no free speech
2) Hiding the ones you don't agree with outside of view is trumping there right to be heard
"Which country has protesters that think freedom of speech means the freedom to disrupt gatherings and proceedings of people that they disagree with?"
That is to get on the news, if you do not dirupt anything or do not do anything sensationalist you do not get air time, and in the US, if you are not on CNN or FOX, no one hears you.
They say Stop in the City of Westmount in Quebec too.
They were changed because all the French speaking driver refused to stop at the "Stop" signs arguing they could not understand the meaning of the word. This was causing general mayhem on the streets and a lot of nasty accidents, something had to be done.
Which country as the free speech zones? The text look stronger in the US constitution, but in real everyday life it think Canadian citizens have more freedom.
They are a affront to your freedom but not mine. Like he parent said, the majority in Quebec are in agreement with these laws. Without these laws we would lose our language, people don't seem to remember,but only a few years ago, all big stores inside and outdoor signs where in English. The majority of patrons were francophone but the owner were anglophone.
"I don't know anybody who would consider pirating to be equivalent to raping children, but apparently you do. You might want to have your head checked."
It did not come from my head, it came the quoted part of the article.

But on the other hand, ignorance is bliss.
Whoosh to you too!
Voila!
Well said.
Well said. So my freedom is worth less than yours. Because you don't even know what culture is.
"So who are the French of Quebec and why do they have more rights that other people?"
Do you have the right to speak your own language at your workplace and in the store you go to where you live?
Can I have it to? I do not have more right than you.
Whoosh

Fine if less language is better learn French and stop using English.
Language is a big part of culture, mono-culture is very bad, not only in computers (windows zombies)m also in agriculture and society.
Languages dies, like culture and civilizations and people.
"A single language promoted the sharing of ideas and unity."
Multiple languages promote innovation and diversity, I like that better.
Speaking more than one language give you a broader mind, as our thinking is dictated by words, language structures, we think mostly in words.
Ask anybody who speaks multiple languages, there is words and concepts in each of them that can only be approximated in other languages.
The Quebec Languages law do not aim to eradicate English, they are there to preserve French.
There is mandatory English classes in French schools.

Quebec men prefer pussies, you like cocks?
By the way the Cajuns did not leave, they were deported by the English.
And only old people still speak French in Louisiana.

The question is how many nation have used nuclear weapons so far to actually kill people?
And which are they?
Maybe those are the ones that should not be permitted to have any.
Money is not the only reward. They could be doing it for moral, political, nationalist, patriotic reasons, watever.
lol, the buttons background, maggots for discount, tropical island for normal price.
Wonder if that made a difference on ratios of discounted/normal price clicks.
who cares?
I hope your NOT kidding.
lol
True, but thats is the bad side of C letting you do whatever you want.
With C you are not constrained, you can do very clever things you cannot do in Java, or incredibly stupid things that Java will prevent.
The same happens when you remove the trainer wheels on a bicycle.
yes, take the seeds in it and plant them.
Easy,

"... including software pirates, child-porn distributors and other unsavory characters ..."
Pirating != Stealing
Pirating == Raping Children
no.
"the DMCA makes snooping encrypted files or communications punishable with extreme repercussions"
Only on copyrighted works, not on communications.
RIAA stuff. He could save millions in a court case
