The Tender For Law

English Only

ENGLISH is the international language of law and commerce. Knowing FRENCH is useful for understanding LEGAL ENGLISH, but FRENCH is not the international language of law and commerce, so we will ignore French speakers who speak to us in the language of a conquered people.

Non.

I understand that you are a proud Québécois, but the people here have nothing but contempt for you because of decades of transfer payments and NONE OF YOU understanding what Quebec sovereignty means. None of you know who Russell Rogers Smith is, and you're too proud and arrogant to teach. Just go away and be Retardier somewhere else.

I hear this a lot, and while there is certainly wisdom to be found in it, I wouldn't say 'always wrong'.

The majority of human beings breathe, doesn't make it wrong.

If you and I agree about something in a discussion, we are the majority in that discussion, doesn't make us wrong.

I think Mark Twain was a bit more accurate:

"Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect."
