Driver who refused to work pride bus fired

No, I'm trying to point out that you are hypocrites. I agree that he should have been fired, but then again, I'm an evil conservative against the working classes. The other thing is that I thought liberals claimed they were fact based, when again, you weren't. You first claimed he was fired for not doing his job, which wasn't the case. Did you not even read the OP's linked article?

The thing is, you keep changing the reasons why he should be fired. He was never asked to drive that bus, so he wasn't fired for refusing to do his job.

 

Yeah man, they're trying to pretty much end Spring Break, at least in Florida they are. You don't remember all the crap that happened this year? Rapes and murders. They're cutting out the alcohol which pretty much kills Spring Break. Not like they've got strong beer anyways. It took me a case of beer to catch a buzz. Here in Louisiana, a 6 pack gets me buzzed.

 

You're arguing with a representative from a group who couldn't care less about facts.

 

I hate it when that happens. Damn forum software!

Any bus with a heterosexual relationship ad. Someone used the example of an eHarmony ad earlier.

 

no you are not, live and let live is adult 101

 

Huh, and here I thought straight people never did anything wrong.

Yes he was. He said he would not do his job if asked to actually do his job. How am I a hypocrite? WTF are you even talking about?

 

I assume eHarmony is a relationship web site.... not a straight relationship web site.

I could be wrong I guess.

 

I think they focus on heterosexual relationships. I also could be wrong though.

Edit: yes they specialize in heterosexual relationships.

 

Although this occurred in Canada, I suppose the situation can be applied to the U.S. as well; since we're a collective Western culture.

Imagine a "German" or "Irish" pride public bus.

Someone would complain.

How about enough with the segregation of our culture and no more "pride" crapola. It serves no purpose...a pride parade or decorated public bus isn't going to sway any opinions on gay people..why the need to wear everything on your sleeve?

It smacks of self serving division, not unification.

Isn't the goal...unification? We all tolerate one another?

How do you figure segregating a particular sexual orientation and having pride in it furthers the cause of unification?

The fact is, it doesn't. It does the opposite, it separates and hyphenates our culture and DIVIDED we fall.

 

It isn't the bedroom. Not anymore than if a man introduces his wife. Romance is much more than sex, or bedroom activities.

I wasn't aware the rainbow was exclusive to gay people.

 

A Gay Muslim. Man, that has to be a tough road to travel.

 

Alberta is "fairly right wing" but Calgary has a Harvard educated gay muslim mayor........says a lot about how loony Canada has become if that is considered "right wing".

 

The parades under that flag are HEAVILY into the reckless sex that does parade under that flag and it is a symbol of immoral sexual behaviors to many. It ain't Dorthy's rainbow anymore.

 

Unification doesn't mean monoculturalism, which btw has never existed in the US. Tolerance means accepting the differences which will always be present.

Publicizing the orientation on a public bus is hardly segregating it.

We're doing ok but thanks for caring.

 

Canada was doing better than "ok" 10 years ago. Look at the trend, Canada is going downhill fast, from its soon to be bankrupt health care system to its crazy anti-free speech laws. The only positive recently is the repeal of the long gun registry (but Quebec refuses to dispose of the registry).

 

Really? I have been to several and seen nothing of the sort? How many have you been to? Where were they?

 

Our healthcare costs are about half yours and in line with other similar systems. We're far from going downhill - we're doing ok. Bit of an issue these days with oil prices but that will recover.

Btw today our government announced a 1.9 billion surplus in this year's budget. How you guys doing?

 

Funny how liberals always tout tolerance when demonstrating they have none for anyone but themselves.

 

If you don't absolutely agree with some people 100% you are 100% wrong. They are basically extremists.

 

Canada's health care is in trouble, and the Canadian government knows it. In 2004 Canada began its "10 Year Plan" which was supposed to put the health care program on a sustainable fiscal path, reduce wait times, improve access, and improve quality of care. The plan ended in 2014 a failure.

One major difference between the US and Canada is that the Canadian government does a great job of objectively tracking and reporting the performance of its health care system (see https://www.cihi.ca/en). Canada knows the good and bad, and while costs are lower than the US, quality of care, access, and wait times are far inferior to those in the US.

 

WHO ranking of health care systems:
30 Canada
31 Finland
32 Australia
33 Chile
34 Denmark
35 Dominica
36 Costa Rica
37 USA

There you are, right behind Costa Rica.

 

I give you the link to the Canadian site that actually directly monitors Canadian health care, and you go to a political organization for a list based on subjective criteria? LOL

And you don't even know what the WHO rankings are based upon, do you? One metric is "dignity", another is "Respect of Persons", totally subjective measures. There is also "Fair Financing", which penalizes health care systems that do not charge all patients based on their ability to pay. "Nontraditional" treatments are also a factor, which penalizes systems that do not support non-scientific but perhaps culturally accepted practices.

WHO also scores "rationing", with WHO accepted rationing being based on "...a combination of social, political, and cost-effectiveness criteria." Are social and political criteria medically scientific? The WHO examples of good rationing are Sweden, Norway, Netherlands, Oregon (USA) - in other words heavily politicized and state run systems.

What a joke the WHO list is, and its a bigger joke that you used a ridiculous WHO list and turned your back on your own countries detailed comprehensive self-assessment.

 

No?


So whos "pride" is this Bus advertising then?

 

Nobodies really. It's a bus.

 

Sure thing. Maybe let the OP , the Media and the LGBTQUVWXYZ in on that info, as they are all under the impression it is the Gays symbol.
