Kemosabe?

[Slim]

Just a thought...There have been quite a few "silly" cases like this in recent years and more and more are coming to light all the time...Ultimately these cases are doing nothing good to raise the awareness of racial problems in our country. When ordinary (if there is such a thing anymore) people read about this N.S. woman and her complaint they are more likely to dismiss the complainant as a "money grabber" or some other such who is only out to further their own (financial) ends and trying to use the race issue as a vehicle to get there.

The other issue is, of course, that our society as a whole, is not required to be responsible for its actions anymore. I recently heard a Judge throw a case out of court in the States where an obese person tried to sue a restaurant chain for making them fat. The Judge said, "no one forced you to eat there...Take some personal responability for yourself and your weight problem. Case dismissed!"

Hopefully its the start of a trend!

A copy of the Judgement by Justice Hon David Chipman QC in relation to the Moore Case (the
kemosabe judgement) appears in full on the NS Human Rights Commission site. Know Justice
David Chipman well, appointed to the NS Court of Appeal by PM Brian Mulroney - a very smart
and competent lawyer in his practice in Halifax NS. Venture to say that Justice Chipman was a
listener to "The Lone Ranger" radio series on CHNS Halifax (the Chipman's are an old established
Halifax family) like all the rest of us, and possibly a member of the "Lone Ranger Safety Cllub"
-his is a reasoned, carefully thought out Judgment, which should, hopefully put an end to this
ridiculous controversy. This will be my final comment - let's move on. MacLeod

All this reminds me of WASP.

Used today usually in a negative connotation. But then I recall my father pointing out that those who use the term know not of what they speak. The word "white" is redundant, as all Anglo Saxons are white; and not all Anglo Saxons are Protestant.

I am hereby serving notice of my intent to sue the entire Canadian wine industry.  I am seeking damages for  negligence, specifically not providing a "this end up" warning on their bottles of sparkling wines.  At a celebratory dinner for my daughters birthday, I opened a bottle upside down, resulting in an impact injury to my nether bits.  I am suing for pain and suffering, and mental anguish. Oh, and drycleaning too... ;D

CHIMO,  Kat

 

[bossi]

So basicaly you are offended that i am offended that they are offended ? ...

How dare you be offended that Aesop is offended that they are offended???  Now I'm offended.
In order to save court costs, mail me money ... now.

 

[camochick]

I'm offended by everything and I just found a fly in my water, someone give me money >

End this thread before it completely gets out of control! This whole topic was a COMPLETE waste of time, energy, resources, memory space,,,, get the picture?

  :gunner:                          All politically correct a**holes!

 

[mover1]

No Lets keep it open so we can serve justice in the world. All unite togwether with my sister. Kemosabe is just not kosher. I think we should ask ourselves...What would Jesus Do?.....

 

[2 Cdo]

Jesus would have turned the other cheek!

 

[Trinity]

Jesus would have turned the other cheek!

Hey... don't muscle into my territory....
I don't jump out of planes and you don't get to make Jesus jokes.

Lets not break that status quo here!  ;D


(and you don't want to get into the theological debate of turning the other cheek.
Its way to messy and too many opinions on the perceived truth of the passage)

 

[2 Cdo]

I think I get to make all the Jesus jokes I need to seeing how I did alot of praying to Him every time I jumped!

Yes, the use of the words Kemosabe and Tonto could be as humorous and harmless as a great many
replies would indicate, but again its how they are uttered or received.

Examples:

You are a passenger in a car driven by a Native Canadian Buddy along with your girl friends when you
are pulled over and stopped by a Police Officer.

a. The Officer states, You know you were exceeding the posted speed limit by 15 mph., but I'm
    going to let you off with a warning this time, Kemosabe.

b.                            Hey Kemosabe, you know you were exceeding the posted speed limit by
    15 mph., but I'm going to let you off this time with a warning.

c.                          You know you were exceeding the posted speed limit by 15 mph., I'm
    afraid this is going to cost you a $142.50 and 3 points, Kemosabe.

d.                            Hey Tonto, where's the fire, you know you were going 15 mph., over the
    posted speed limit, but I'm going to let you off this time, so watch it, Kemosabe.

So, would any of the Officers conversation necessitate reporting or be objectable and why.

It's getting a little ridiculous now.  I call my friends "mate" being of Welsh extraction.  It doesn't necessarily mean I want to procreate with them.  I also call them "amigo" or "compadre" at times... doesn't mean I think they are Mexican....eeeesh.

Ridiculous if you ignore possible legal ramifications, not withstanding the fact that I have seen many a
person get a fist sandwich for a intended good natured remark.

 

[Kat Stevens]

Ah, but that's assault...physical evidence and all that... I learned to not let namecalling bother me in 4th grade... But, to each his own..
