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.

Nothing to be sorry for Frisbey. Just do your best to always do your best. If you think you could have done or said something better or differently, then just try to do so in the future.

And @Carl, we're all ignorant of something. I'm just trying to help spread as much healthy debate as possible. You're right that some people can't substantiate their positions very well, but that doesn't mean debating with them is without value.

It doesn't even mean that they are wrong. Plenty of people have been the better debaters in discussions, and managed to "win" debates that they were actually wrong about.

I find the best thing to do, is to assume that everyone is genuinely trying to learn and understand, despite it not always being the case.

It is assumed that when someone is asking questions, it is because they want to understand.
