    My dad is a contractor. Obviously we can no longer be friends.

    Is he a shitbag though? Stig specifically said shitbags.

    He'd have a card in his wallet from the Shit Bag Union.

    Oh hey, right here. Quebec freed itself of the catholic church in the 60s and it was all through completely peaceful protests.

    Do you mind offering up a link on this?

    But is your dad a shit bag? He wasn't speaking of all contractors, I suspect. Only those that fit both categories.

    Gah, Simbem! Occupy your face with this hammer.

    I guess the pressure was built up to the point where it was gonna burst anyway. The 60s were more or less a renaissance up here, after the post-war dark ages. 15 years of awful ultra-conservative policy ruling our society and cultural oppression (there were no francophone CEOs, and so very few francophone white-collars at all) that just burst as soon as our baby-boomers became old enough to protest.

    Though you could draw strong parallels to the current situation in the US. Minus the whole cultural/language inequity part which could have only happened here.

    Because most, non-microbrew American beer is terrible and most Americans don't understand the difference between an Ale or a Lager, much less good beer and bad.

    The deep-seeded theorist in me thinks that this is the beginning of the end of the world, and we will bring about our own end. Perhaps the Rapture doesn't signify the End in itself, but the beginning of the end. What if this 'Occupy' revolution gets so big that the government can't control it, and resorts to unleashing some chemical warfare and zombifies the whole world a la Resident Evil?

    Has the world always been in a state of affairs like this, or am I just now old enough to understand the impact of things going on in the world?

    Well, I don't really think that the end can be assessed as of itself as being the end because what does the end feel like? It's like saying when you try to extrapolate the end of the universe, you say, if the universe is indeed infinite, then how - what does that mean? How far is all the way, and then if it stops, what's stopping it, and what's behind what's stopping it? So, what's the end, you know, is my question to you.

    We've secretly replaced all of the American Heartland's pissbeers with Rogue: Dead Guy Ale. Lets see if they notice.
    /reasonable discourse ensues.

    Also: Denny's is a vaguely 50s style American Diner that specializes in pancakes, burgers, bacon, etc. It's open 24 hours and there are usually a dozen in most large cities in the us and at least one in most small towns.

    Notable for being open rather than being good.

    There have been social upheavals in other times and places where people shot each other dead. The world is still around.

    The worst-case scenario here is that the protesters get bored and go home and nothing changes.
