What's the dumbest thing you heard said today?

[cupper]

Wife: Hello, how can I help you?
American TD Bank Employee: We had a customer in and he left his car here.
Wife: Yes, and....
TD E: It has an oil leak and the oil is spreading quite quickly, so we called the police and fire department.  They put some cones around it, what do we do?
Wife: (Thinking to herself: do I want to question this?  No, I do not.) I'll place a work order for that right away.

One of her coworkers got this for a call: Yeah, this building smells like a dead prostitute.... Not that I know what that smells like.

Ummm. Maybe we need a bit more background on the first example. I missed something.

An Ontario Human Rights Commission representative came to my school. He told us about a new type of discrimination- systemic discrimination. It's the idea that everyone being treated equally is a form of discrimination. ???

...and what was the representative's solution to the "systemic discrimination"?

 

[Taras27131]

It was to make rules not apply to certain people.

 

[Taras27131]

He also told us that the Ontario Human Rights Code can overrule provincial legislation. This is probably the wrong thread but is that constitutional?

Unfortunately yes. Provincial Human Rights Codes immediately supersede legislation if indeed it is found that a Human Rights Code is being violated and legislation prevents the protection of said person being violated. Some of it is candy-arse "waaahh he called me a dunder head" stuff but...

 

[Taras27131]

So the UNELECTED Human Rights Commission can come up with laws that overrule laws created by ELECTED officials? What a great democracy we have... :

That's why we have courts. Human Rights don't win and legislation don't win until the case is put before the Crown in the courts.

Thanks, now I understand. Now we can get back on topic. ;D

Florida teen calls police to report mom having sex
January 25, 2012 FoxNews.com

A Florida teenager called 911 last week to ask police to place her in a children’s shelter because she “heard her mother having sex.”

The 15-year-old girl felt disrespected when overhearing her mother having sex late one night, so she called Panama City police to report the situation, The Smoking Gun first reported on its website.

When police arrived at the home in the early hours on Jan. 19, the girl’s mother explained that she was with her boyfriend and didn't intend to wake her daughter. But their bedrooms are right next to each other, according to the police report, which was obtained by FoxNews.com.

At some point, the mother and daughter had an argument, the police report said.

The teen, who told police that there was no abuse, originally asked to be taken to the Hidle House, which is a temporary home for children who are homeless or abused. But after speaking with a representative, she decided it was almost time for school and decided to stay put.

A domestic rights brochure was left for the family, the police report said.

I'd be a little grossed out if I heard MY mom having sex... But I wouldn't call the police over it. Reason #1 why headphones are a blessing.

An Edmonton judge has tossed out a constitutional challenge against three traffic tickets launched by a woman who claims her religious beliefs exempt her from the law.

Catherine Flamond, 52, had argued in a written Charter notice that the provincial civil laws do not apply to her because she is a Christian minister bound only by God, the Queen of England and the Constitution Act of 1982.

But provincial law is given royal assent via the Queen's Representative - the Lieutenant-Governor... is it not?

 

[vonGarvin]

If this whole thing about speed limits not applying to Christian ministers applies to Roman Catholics, then I'm all in!  Screw your laws, I'm speeding!!! 

 

[cupper]

Her biggest mistake (other than thinking she had a case to start with) was forgetting that the British North America Act automatically became part of the Canadian Constitution under the Act of 1982. Which grants the same powers provincially as are granted Federally.

Perhaps she can sue her lawyer for poor representation and advice. ;D
