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.

Will Bed

Only you decide what your time is worth, and I'm not going to challenge that. But anyone else also has the RIGHT not to contract.

In that case, you say you already have contractual obligations to honour.

Going back to my example. If the other guy said upfront : "Hey Will, btw my time is worth 1000$/h let's put that down just in case" I would have no problem living with his offer to mow the lawn for the balance... But we never agreed on what his time is worth... Turning the situation over, I wouldn't feel honourable walking up to some dude and telling him "Hey man sorry I can't pay you the 5000$ balance owed on that contract, but my time is worth so much that I just can decide to not fulfill the contractual obligations we both agreed on...
