<0> I got some new deodorant/antiperspirant
<0> I sweat less on that mountain than I usually do in the office at my desk
<1> odd
<2> Today, I get the free museum day ... not everybody get that new perspirant :/
<0> haha
<1> well
<1> true, sometimes it gets smelly in the metro
<1> so Darien, once I start climbing again, you should come
<2> yes, and it was buses ... bad memories...
<2> guys, where are you working for in montreal ?
<0> frank-: no offense, but given a choice between climbing with a cute girl and climbing with a guy I met on IRC, I'm going to choose the girl ;)
<2> frank is for francisca
<1> fine
<1> do your own thing
<0> it's just our sort of quiet 'alone time' kind of thing, is all
<1> I understand
<0> weeb0_bob: I work for a medical imaging systems company
<1> I'll call my other buddy
<2> I found the problem for compiling php with mysql! We have to install the shared version of mysql ....
<1> I work for ccds.ca
<0> neat
<0> intelerad.com
<3> i still get the same error of pid file..is innoDB enabled in gentoo?
<1> Darien: pretty simple site
<1> I like it
<0> yeah
<0> the people that are interested in our product know about our product
<1> same here
<0> it's a good place to be
<1> we had some stupid french customers
<1> generally speaking we only deal with either english or american customers
<2> don't talk about french customer ... you are in quebec, the only French speaking province...
<1> they're the worst
<1> they expect us to treat them like they're the only customer
<1> heh
<2> it's not the language the problem... I'm sure you have other companies that think like that ...
<1> not really.
<1> it's a french mentality problem.
<1> a cultural attitude
<1> anywat
<0> weeb0_bob: that's not true
<2> we have a big cultural problem in Quebec.
<0> Quebec is the only Francophone province
<0> but it's one of two French provinces
<1> people speak french in Ontario too.
<1> and in alberta
<1> and in manitoba
<0> New Brunswick is the only officially bilingual province in Canada
<1> Quebec is officially bilingual
<2> that's true for NB
<0> no
<2> frank : no
<1> on paper
<0> Quebec is officially Francophone
<2> Darien: are you francophone ?
<0> nope
<0> I'm from BC
<2> ok.
<2> are you asian ?
<2> lol
<0> nope
<2> ok, it's why you moved
<0> I was actually born in Alberta, but I consider myself 'from BC'
<0> even though I only spent a few years there, it's where I became who I am today
<0> so it works :)
<1> Darien: you're right
<1> I googled and Quebec is officially a Francophone province
<1> it should be bilingual.
<2> no! you only can talk in english in the west-island ... go anywhere else, don't try to be served in english in the population services ...
<1> weeb0_bob: I do it every day
<1> and most respectful people answer in english.
<2> not at quebec city. not at trois-rivieres ...
<2> you have to stay in montreal to have this privilege.
<1> I actually spoke in english in Quebec city, and some people tried to speak english
<1> altho most of them replied in french
<1> I loathe the lack of respect french people exhibit in this province
<2> in Quebec (where I come from) there was nobody that wasn't talking french .... now with the beginning of immigration, it's another thing, but ...
<1> Canada is a bilingual country
<2> you have to understand that the french people are fighting to keep their language.
<1> everyoen shoudl speak both languages
<1> their 'fight' is ridiculous
<2> the mentality of french people is different of english speaking ppl.
<1> you don't need to 'fight' to keep a language alive
<2> frank : do you speak french ?
<1> yes.
<1> only because I believe in a bilingual country
<2> so why you want to speak english at Quebec city ? I came to ottawa last year, I talked in english, not in french.
<1> because I am more fluent in english
<1> and I prefer to speak english
<1> I don't speak english to insult them, and if they take it that way then they have issues.
<2> unfortunately, frank, I think you are the exception. look at the asian, they only talk english and all of those "smelly people" in parc extension, they often only talk in english ... it's why we fight to keep our language.
<1> huh
<1> fighting is not the solution
<2> what is the solution ?
<1> just speak frnech within your community
<1> and address the other population in whatever language is appropriate
<1> that will be english, most of the time.
<3> if was problem of privileges :p
<1> don't give me the I have to speak french to people first because I live in quebec BS answer
<2> in your area, yes, it's english ... but everywhere else is the french. So why do french speaking have to accomodate the english speaking ppl ? Not the english ppl talking french like everybody else in the province ?
<1> I'll use whatever language I so please
<1> no
<1> not an issue of accomodating
<1> it's an issue of being BILINGUAL
<1> you live in Canada, you should be bilingual
<1> period.
<2> lol. Your in quebec, you should be francophone. If the quebec separate, what will you do ?
<1> it won't
<1> I should NOT be francophone
<1> that the problem with that mentality
<1> I should be bilingual
<1> I agree that I should know enough french to maintain a conversation
<2> even if Quebec become a country ? A french country ?
<1> it won't
<1> that bullocks
<4> (or bollocks depending on your translation)
<4> ;)
<2> what mean bollocks ?????
<1> I see you share the seperatist's mentality
<1> I completely loathe it.
<2> no necessarily.
<1> or beliefs.
<1> whichever applies
<4> Out of pure intrest, I live in the UK currently. Which language(s) should I speak?
<1> the official languages.
<4> (in your opinion)
<1> whatever they are
<2> No, I only agree with the facts that we have a beautiful language (french) and most of immigrants don't learn french to understand of read it.
<4> Then its English only :)
<1> Neo|Laptop: fine by me
<1> weeb0_bob: ok then we should all learn both languages
<1> and not focus on french only, or primarly
<2> Yes I think.
<4> We should all speak chinese.
<1> if a Quebec resident wishes to speak english 95% of the time, so be it
<4> Since it is the most widly spoken primary language in terms of speakers :)
<2> if he know the french to go to the market, that's ok for me.
<1> Neo|Laptop: it's not the official language of canada
<0> weeb0_bob: most immigrants I meet speak better French than English
<1> weeb0_bob: fine then. But don't give me the french fight BS
<5> well french is better structured :P
<2> Not the one I met!
<0> well too bad for you then :/
<1> also
<1> don't give me attitude if I choose to speak english
<0> 'night guys
<2> Yes ... I got teacher at ETS that was not speaking french ...
<1> night Darien
<2> night darien
<0> we should have some coffee some time
<1> sure.
