Here we go again.

How about the English Canadians offer to meet the French Separatists on the Plains of Abraham again and settle this once and for all. With the French representing less than 25% of the total population and the Separatists representing only about 30% of that, we give them that percentage of the 5000 or so combatants allowed on the field.

Seems like a great way to spend a Sunday Afternoon!

How about a great big no. If this is given to them then they will find more excuses to get more land until they get the entire province. Go to hell seperatists.

Eisensapper Eisensapper:

Why Jimmy?

Can you see his Avatar? 'Jimmy', 'Mercury, God of Speed', Signals Corp . . ?

[roger-roger]

I always thought it was Hermes not Mercury...

That still doesnt explain Jimmy though...

'Hermes' is Greek, 'Mercury' is Roman for the same deity. I think 'Jimmy' dates back to the Signals Corp use of a sculpture of Mercury by an artist called 'Giambologna".

Shortened to 'Jimmy'.

Next sepretist I meet, I am knocking him the fuck out. I am seriously getting tierd of this quebec sepretist bullshit.

When they just wanted to seperate that was all good and all. I could have dealt with that but now they are just trying to piss everybody off.
