Take Out The Trash

Are the Bali Bombers dead yet?

Why not?

Why have these useless pieces of trash not been eradicated from the face of the planet? In this, I mean those who constructed the bombs; those who planned the events; those who planted the bombs; and the limpdicks who think that death is not a solution and that this crowd should be allowed to live their days in prison.

In short - not only should these three bombers (names are irrelevant because I choose not to show them the courtesy of learning to speak such filth) be tortured in a way not dissimilar to what many INNOCENT people experienced thanks to the shrapnel used in the devices that shredded the flesh from so many people - but they should also suffer in death. These people should be informed in the seconds before they die that upon death, their worthless carcasses will be cut into four sections (quartered) and then shipped in the opposing four directions of the island to be buried. The burial site would be coated in lime to enhance decomposition and thus thwart attempts to bring the sections back together AND be bathed in pig faeces.

Does this sound inhuman? Does it sound uncaring? Oh - I forgot - these people have rights, don't they. We have to allow them to be buried with the dignity and respect that is demanded by their religion.

Well, guess what....?

They are NOT entitled to any dignity. They are NOT entitled to respect. They do not have any rights since they decreed that it was OK to flay the flesh from people who did nothing more to their society than prop up their tourist trade. They are entitled to NOTHING but utter contempt.

If their religion truly was just and honourable, practitioners would have disowned and disbarred them from practicing years ago. Heads of Christian churches do not condone the actions of the KKK and will not recognise them as proponents of the religion - yet not only are these examples of societal excrement allowed to continue to practice their "religion", they get special treatment on holidays. On top of that, there is footage taken this year of a law enforcement official shaking the hands of one of this people! This is nothing short of abhorrent!

What has happened with the Bali Bombers just goes to prove that Islam is a curse on humanity and that it needs to be eradicated COMPLETELY. I don't give a flying shit if you want to argue about what Catholics did in the name of Christianity. What they did was wrong but they grew past it and grew up - Islam retains it's stone-age mentality and utterly refuses to advance itself in any way, shape or form.

So - kill them - kill them now - and ensure that they know that they will NEVER see their heaven and that if they do, their 70-odd virgins will be utterly repulsed at the sight of them!

Privacy concerns on speed cameras

So here we go again... Victoria (the Police State) is wanting to bring in an automatic number-plate recognition system for all vehicles on the roads down there.

While I can see the merits in such a system, I know FOR AN ABSOLUTE FACT that it WILL be abused and that the intention for bringing in such a system is brought about by the trend lately for police to go after soft targets. That is, chasing the revenue dollar of Joe & Jane Average who may stray 3km over the speed limit as
opposed to those who drive unlicenced, unregistered, uninsured, commit genuine acts of road rage (not the pussy acts like flipping the bird), use false number plates, etc etc etc - and will be able to mask either themselves or their vehicles so that they cannot be photographed. These are the people that have something to hide and will be able to hide themselves quite easily while those who do not will be tracked relentlessly. Why are innocent people going about their business being tracked?

The system won't even catch the majority of the dipshits in their turbo-powered shitboxes (that sneeze every time they change gears) or the whackers in their 6-cylinder Commondores & Foulcans that go "Look at me! I can spin one wheel on a rain-slicked road!" - because many use false or stolen numberplates anyway!

This project ISN'T about protecting society by chasing criminals and getting them off the streets - this project is about the utter laziness of politicians and cops to do something constructive in society when it comes to dealing with the offenders they catch and "coercing" them to not reoffend. They just want to be able to track each and every person and then use the halfwits excuse of "If you do nothing wrong then you've nothing to worry about!"

Well, SHIT FOR BRAINS, maybe I would like to walk down the street without being tracked and having someone looking over my shoulder all the time? It's a proven fact (it is because I say that it is!) that when genuine contributors to society need a cop, there isn't one to be found - but when a criminal bashes a 75 year old woman for $15 so that he can get drugs, suddenly he has rights and the police are there to protect him!

Privacy concerns on speed cameras

Karen Dearne | September 23, 2008

CRIMTRAC's planned automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) system could become a mass surveillance system, taking as many as 70 million photos of cars and drivers every day across a vast network of roadside cameras.

State and federal police forces want full-frontal images of vehicles, including the driver and front passenger, that are clear enough for identification purposes and usable as evidence in court.

"All vehicles passing through a fixed or mobile ANPR camera will have the data recorded and available for interrogation," CrimTrac told the Queensland TravelSafe inquiry into the use of ANPR for road safety.

"Existing camera applications, such as Safe-T-Cam, red light and speed cameras could be upgraded where necessary to provide constant live streaming to a central database.

"National connectivity would be achieved through secure digital networks for fixed cameras. Law enforcement agencies would also use mobile units."

David Vaile, executive director of the University of NSW's Cyberspace Law and Policy Centre, warned that the ANPR "could become the next Access Card".

"As a public surveillance system that could be linked to facial recognition, this has enough technology behind it to impinge on everybody's daily life," Mr Vaile said.

"CrimTrac has told us there will be 5000 cameras around the country, overwhelmingly in populated areas, taking some 70 million photos every day.

"There'll be maybe 1000 cameras in downtown Sydney, close to that number in Melbourne, perhaps 100 or so in Brisbane.

"If you use the main roads, you're likely to be snapped several times a day, and all those photos and any related data will be held by CrimTrac for up to five years."

Mr Vaile said it was false to represent the proposal as number plate recognition: "It's a photograph-all-drivers system."

At present, there are an estimated 300 fixed ANPR cameras and 100 mobile units in Australia.

CrimTrac is due to hand a $2.2 million scoping study for an integrated ANPR to the Minister for Home Affairs, Bob Debus, and the Ministerial Council for Police and Emergency Management in November.

According to a privacy consultation paper issued in June, all ANPR data collected would be made available to participating agencies in real time, and retained for five years for future investigations.

The national system would consist of "sightings data from all cameras in all jurisdictions of all vehicles that pass the camera points".

CrimTrac proposes siting fixed cameras at state border crossings, on main roads, in city centres and around infrastructure such as ports.

CrimTrac ANPR program manager Darren Booy said road transport, police and national security agencies had agreed images were needed for certain vehicle sightings.

"At times, police might not know that a vehicle is stolen or wanted in connection with a crime such as armed robbery until some time after the event," he said.

"Therefore, there's a requirement to capture all vehicle sightings and make those images available for analysis and data matching either immediately or at a later time."

Mr Booy said no decision had been made on the period for which images would be kept.

Images would be retained in cases where a vehicle was on a hot list of stolen or unregistered cars, or in cases involving unlicensed drivers or people wanted by police.

(see the rest online....)

This whole idea is just another push to turn everyone into potential criminals and override their rights under the system that is supposed to regard everyone as innocent until proven guilty in a court of law or by a jury of their peers. Photographing everyone who moves somehow makes the Police & the Judiciary think that you are there in court to prove your innocence rather than them having to prove your guilt - and that is against everything that the Westminster System is supposed to stand for.

My solution to the problems of criminals and prisons is to build a dirty big one in the middle of the Simpson Desert and segregate everyone out there. Nowhere to run - nowhere to hide - and any improper actions of the prisoners is met with extreme force. If you don't like it there - don't go back!

But no - the pantywaist culture that this country is embracing of "protect the criminal and persecute the innocent" is very much alive and well!

The problem is that for every stupid idea like this that gets promoted in Victoria - every other dictatorial state in this country wants to do the same.

If innocent people are going to be hounded and treated like criminals just for paying their taxes and maybe driving a little bit over an grossly-outdated speed limit: maybe I should become one of the protected ones - a criminal? I can see myself being quite happy in executing a few drug dealers and users just for fun - and the funny thing about that is that not only will the government, the judiciary and the police protect me for it - I will be doing more a service to society than all of them combined!

Prostitution Teacher

Interesting news from New Zealand on Stuff.

Teacher is also a prostitute

Monday, 22 September 2008

An Auckland primary school teacher moonlighting as a prostitute will have to wait for a decision on her future employment by her school's board of trustees.

The new teacher, a mother in her 30s with two children, has been working as a prostitute to supplement her income, the Herald on Sunday reported.

The newspaper, which did not name the teacher or her school, said a parent told the teacher's principal, who was balancing a possible negative reaction from parents with the woman's right to work in a job that has been legal in New Zealand since 2003.

It has been referred to the school's board of trustees, which will meet in committee to debate whether to ignore the issue, discipline the teacher or ask the Teachers' Council to decide.

The woman reportedly told the principal that her action in her own time was not his concern, and that it was not affecting her ability as a teacher.

Teachers Council director Peter Lind said the most important factor was whether the teacher's second job was affecting her teaching duties, "and there would have to be actual evidence".

:

Another employment lawyer, Patrick Walsh, said the council could intervene if the school deemed the teacher's second job involved "conduct that brings discredit to the profession".
(cont'd on site)

So, yet again we see a section of the community thinking itself to be better than the rest of the world and decides to dictate terms to those who are a aprt of that community.
Here we have a teacher who wants to supplement her income as a teacher by working as a prostitute and the wowsers have a problem with this. Why? Are they worried that she will start charging students if business is slow? It's a profession that is legal in NZ yet they choose to attack her over her choice of what she does in her personal life. If anyone is to have a problem with this, it can be her husband or family - everyone else can go and get stuffed!

"Johnny - your dad looks hot... I think he needs to attend a parent-teacher conference to discuss your educational needs. Can you tell him that I will need to see him on Tuesday, Thursday & Saturday?"

Going on what I have seen in the last 20 years with regards the standards of teaching around the world - the profession that will suffer more from the combination of the two will be the oldest one. Of course, it couldn't hurt her should some of her customers want to be disciplined by the Naughty Teacher.

NOW - Stupid, stupid women....

Interesting....

Women's groups back Obama over McCain, Palin

By Lincoln Archer
September 17, 2008 08:40am

* Women's groups back Obama over McCain
* Say Sarah Palin not enough to win them over
* Obama, Biden vs McCain, Palin: US presidential election

IF Sarah Palin's selection as John McCain's running mate was designed to start a stampede of high-profile endorsements from heavy-hitting women's groups, it has not worked.

But if it was intended to entice a bloc of white women voters into the Republican fold, it might be all systems go.

The leaders of six women's groups stood together overnight to announce that they were backing Barack Obama in the US presidential election, saying Mrs Palin's inclusion on the Republican ticket was not enough to win their approval.

One group, the National Organisation for Women, said it had not endorsed a White House candidate in nearly 25 years but was speaking out this time to highlight Senator McCain's record on so-called women's issues.

The NOW had supported Hillary Clinton in the Democratic primaries, however, so a Democratic endorsement at this election was likely this time around anyway.

(read article for remainder....)

NOW (the National Organisation for Women) thinks that it speaks for all women in America when clearly it does not. The organisation initially threw it's support behind a candidate (Hillary) who, in her personal life, condones adultery and tolerates a liar in the family AND at the highest levels of government. This means that she's either easily fooled (unlikely) or she will tolerate behaviours like this in order to maintain her social status of power.

So... this equates to NOW saying that it's OK for women to grab the power and the money regardless of what the bloke in their life does. Nice.

I am SO glad that there are REAL women like Palin in the USA and that NOW doesn't like them - it gives me great hope that the USA isn't heading down the greatest socialist toilet that so many moonbats seem to desire.

Achmed the Dead Terrorist & Friends

This has to be the funniest thing I have read in ages (OK - I can't count the ROTFLMAO user comments associated with Amazon selling a Badonkadonk - some of them are great :)

Anyway - the report here in question is a real life version of Achmed the Dead Terrorist on YouTube. I could embed the videos here but my internet connection is cracking up and I just couldn't be bothered. You can also search on "Jingle Bombs" for a funny version of the Christmas Carol.

Suicide bomber falls down stairs ...

Article from: Agence France-Presse
From correspondents in Khost, Afghanistan

January 24, 2008 11:39am

A WOULD-be suicide bomber fell down a flight of stairs and blew himself up as he headed out for an attack in Afghanistan, police say.

It was the second such incident in two days, with another man killing himself and three others on Tuesday when his bomb-filled waistcoat exploded as he was putting it on in the southern town of Lashkar Gah.

Yesterday's blast was in a busy market area of the eastern town of Khost, a deputy provincial police chief said.

The would-be attacker tripped as he was leaving a building apparently to target an opening ceremony for a mosque that was expected to be attended by Afghan and international military officials, said Sakhi Mir.

"Coming down the stairs, he fell down and exploded. Two civilian women and a man were wounded,'' Mir said.
[..]

How would you be? "I am ready to die for Allah and to kill the infidels! I have my bomb... I've said goodbye to my family... I've said my prayers... I've put my sandles on the wrong feet... Whoa! Whoa! WHOA! WHO THOSE FUCKING STEPS THERE??? *thwup* - budda-budda-budda-budda-budda-***BOOM***!!!!!"
Should be more of it just for the comedic value :)

Don't get sick under Labor!!

Hardly surprising that yet another Labor-led state government is refusing to take responsibility for it's constituents and tries to blame all & sundry for their own ineptitude.

What makes Phillip Island a special case that they're not entitled to a hospital or medical care? I don't know for sure but I wouldn't mind betting that it may not be in a strong Labor electorate. Never let it be said that "incompetence and Labor" doesn't go hand-in-hand like "Labor & Jobs-for-the-union-boys", "Labor & corruption", "Labor & nepotism" and *.... (and the list goes on....)

Hospital troubles not my problem: Premier

Posted Wed Dec 5, 2007 3:38pm AEDT

Victorian Premier John Brumby says his government will not be saving the only hospital on Phillip Island.

The board of the Warley Hospital has appealed for government help but the Victorian Premier John Brumby says it is not the responsibility of the State Government.

The Victorian Government is refusing to step in and save Phillip Island's only hospital.

The management of the privately run, not-for-profit Warley Hospital, has held a crisis meeting to discuss ways of staying open, as it faces severe financial problems and was forced to sell equipment to pay staff and bills.

Warley management is now hoping the Federal Government will come to the rescue.

The Premier John Brumby says his government has no responsibility for private hospitals such as Warley.

"It's not a government-run hospital and it's not a bush nursing hospital, where there are often ah [sic] half-way in between a private and a public," he said.

"So it's really an issue for the hospital itself and for the Federal Government, it's not something which the State Government directly funds."

The Federal Opposition Leader Brendan Nelson says the hospital's imminent closure is a test for the new Health Minister, Nicola Roxon.

"The extent to which Nicola Roxon shows her early commitment to keeping the Warley Hospital open and the commitment to the Phillip Island community through it will be the yardstick against which her performance in this portfolio will be measured in its early days," he said.

Ms Roxon has been unavailable for comment.

It's clear that your health is unimportant to the Victorian government if it means that they have to do their job in supplying and assisting health-care facilities.

Prison - nice place to visit but....

(actually - no it's not!)

Sorry - I have an archive of news stories to make comment about and I've only just gotten to this one...

Graphic video of prison assault sparks sacking call

By Keith Moor
November 22, 2007 03:26pm

AT least three prison officers involved in the alleged savage assault of a remand inmate should be sacked, the state watchdog has said.

Graphic footage of prison officers allegedly assaulting the inmate was tabled in State Parliament by State Ombudsman George Brouwer today.

At least three Melbourne Custody Centre (MCC) staff may be charged over the incident.

Victoria Police is investigating what Mr Brouwer described as "serious mistreatment involving an excessive use of force" against the prisoner.

[..]

It shows a seemingly compliant prisoner in the early stages of being strip searched.

One MCC staff member lunged at the prisoner and grabbed him around the throat as a second officer helped wrestle him to the ground.

Several other officers entered the room seconds later and a female officer allegedly punched the already restrained prisoner.

[..]

Here's a tip... If you don't like the idea of being strip-searched nor run the risk of having the snot beaten out of you (by a woman, yet) - then DON'T do shit that is liable to land you in prison. I don't know how much clearer a concept that could be.

Everyone knows that prison isn't a fun place to be - so why do things that will put you there - STUPID??!!

Cowardly Taliban

I've said it before and I will say it again:

The Taliban are COWARDS!

& the supporters of the Taliban are lower than pig-shit

(and this includes the Saudi Royal Family!)

What gives me cause to say this?

I take every right to say this about these Dune Coons when they indulge in practices such as this. Why pick on a kid for knowing another language and teaching his mates?

Taliban kill boy, 16, for teaching English to mates

By Elyas Wahdat in Khost, Afghanistan

November 16, 2007 12:42am

TALIBAN militants shot dead a teenage boy in southeastern Afghanistan for teaching English to his classmates, police said.

Taliban militants have killed a number of teachers and students in recent years for attending government-run schools, taking part in classes for girls or what the hardline Islamist militants consider un-Islamic subjects.

"...un-Islamic subjects..."
And just would qualify as an "Islamic subject"? Would these be good examples?

[..]

Armed men arrived at the school in the Sayed Karam district of Paktia province and grabbed a 16-year-old student and dragged him outside.

“Taliban militants took the boy out and killed him outside the school just because he was teaching English to his classmates,” said General Esmatullah Alizai, the police chief of Paktia province.

Police arrived on the scene and in the ensuing gun battle, two policemen and two militants were killed, he said.

A Taliban spokesman denied the group was involved in the killing.

The militants often deny carrying out unpopular actions.

[..]

Sure they will deny carrying out unpopular actions - did I not make it clear that the Taliban are cowards and will not take responsibility for their actions? Something to do with "crying like little bitches"?

Saudi Royals Family reaffirm terrorist stance.

This is an absolute crock of shit!

A promise from a terrorist is as good as a promise from a thief - unless, of course, those accepting the promise share the same ideals....

It would appear that the Saudi Royal Family are sympathisers to the Al Qaeda cause. I hope this fact is remembered when it comes to demonstrating how terrorists and their supporters are treated when captured.

These people show nothing but contempt for Westerners and their own women so it wouldn't be a big deal if the whole lot were thrown back into their own country and had the borders sealed.

1,500 Qaeda Members Freed After Counseling
(Part 2)

By ELI LAKE
Staff Reporter of the Sun
November 27, 2007

WASHINGTON — On the eve of the Annapolis summit on the Middle East conflict, the Saudi royal family released 1,500 members of Al Qaeda from prison, requiring them only to promise to refrain from jihad within the Arabian Peninsula.

The presence of the Saudi foreign minister, Saud al-Faisal, at the peace parley has been touted by the White House and the State Department as an important diplomatic breakthrough.

Mr. Faisal has said he was reluctant to attend the meeting, the first time the Saudis would be formal participants in an international peace conference dealing with the Israeli-Palestinian Arab conflict. In an interview with Time magazine, he said he would not shake the Israeli prime minister's hand and that he was only interested in a response to his kingdom's peace offer, a full withdrawal from the territory Israel won in 1967 in exchange for peace.

Mr. Faisal is nothing more than an immature coward with no intention of having peace.

However, while the State Department was wooing the Saudi foreign minister, the kingdom's Interior Ministry released about 1,500 Al Qaeda members arrested in crackdowns that began in 2003 against the group headed by Osama bin Laden.

The story first broke over the weekend in the Saudi newspaper Al Watan. In an interview with the newspaper, a member of a special committee to reform jihadists in the kingdom, Muhammad al-Nujaimi, said the newly released prisoners had been reformed.

"The committee has met around 5,000 times to offer counseling to 3,200 people, who were accused of embracing the takfir ideology. The committee has successfully completed reforming 1,500 people," he said.

What utter, contemptible lies! "The committee met 5,000 times"... Since 2003?
Right! I believe you halfwits! Millions wouldn't - but I do!
Let's do some sums.... Take a full year in 2007 & a full year in 2003 (when the 'crackdowns' started); add 1 for the leap year -- that becomes 1,826 days. That equates to a near repetitive sequence of 2 meeting per day for 2 days and then 3 on the third day. Since WHEN does any committee get ANYTHING done let alone meet that frequently to discuss strategies and solutions?
Whoever told this figure of 5,000 meetings is a LIAR!

[Continued from page 1 of 2]

The ideology of takfir is prevalent in both fundamentalist interpretations of Sunni and Shiite Islam, and it holds that there are separate rules that allow Muslims to kill, lie to, and steal from nonbelievers.

While the Saudi state has at times been targeted by Muslims embracing the philosophy of takfir, its mosques and Ministry of Culture and Information also have been exporting the strain of Islam that encourages this doctrine.

And yes, we still have airheaded cocksuckers telling the world that Islam is not dangerous; it's followers are peace-loving and kind; and that even joking about The Prophet being a war-mongering paedophile ("peace be upon him") won't get you killed. There's that believability thing again....

Yesterday, an American intelligence analyst who was following the story said he was wary about the release of the prisoners. "This Saudi process of reform has been so opaque. What no one knows right now is whether the people who have gone through this program have pledged to stop practicing terror or whether they are only pledging to stop terror inside the kingdom."

Considering that dealing with towel-heads in general - they change the rules to suit themselves. They think everyone as stupid as they are to believe their childish lies.

Mr. Nujaimi told Al Watan that the reformed prisoners have pledged to end their campaign to rid the Arabian Peninsula of infidels. "After several graded sessions with the committee, and having been convinced of their misguided vision, they renounced their erroneous ideologies, including the concept of driving out all infidels from the Arabian Peninsula," he said.

Bullshit!

This is America - speak Spanish you Gringos!

What a crock of shit!

Spanish-Speaking Workers Challenge English-Only Policy at Sheet Metal Factory
Monday, November 26, 2007
By Catherine Donaldson-Evans

After a sheet metal plant in Connecticut ordered its employees to speak only English on the job because of safety concerns, five Spanish-speaking workers decided to take the company to court.

The employees, who are legal immigrants, say the rule amounts to discrimination and actually makes the workplace more hazardous.

No, DICKHEAD - it makes it more hazardous to have multiple languages in a predominantly english-speaking country! If someone yells out to a co-worker to "LOOK OUT!" in a language that is not that on which the country is based: chances are that the other worker will be injured from not "looking out".

"I can think of no good reason for them to institute this policy," said Steven Jacobs, the lawyer for the workers who are suing GC Industries in Deep River, Conn. "It's offensive to people who speak Spanish and is potentially dangerous. It inhibits them from communicating in their native tongue in situations that could put people at risk."

You're a lawyer - what the fuck would you know about common sense or working in a factory anyway?

According to the lawsuit, the plant's "Common Language Policy" was suddenly posted in fliers on the factory bulletin board on March 15, 2006.

The notice stated that "there be one language spoken during working time at all plants and facilities of GCI, and that language is English." It specified that the policy would be enforced when "any employee is 'on the clock,'" and said violations could lead to warnings and dismissal.

Damn straight! Three cheers for the company in this instance!

Court documents show that the announcement, which was also posted in Spanish, was signed by company president Thomas Arbella.

But Andres Moran, who speaks fluent English, said he and his four co-plaintiffs needed to communicate in Spanish in order to do their jobs.

BULLSHIT! If they want to converse in Spanish in order to do their jobs - how about they fuck off back to Mexico where they will be expected to speak in Spanish and their coworkers can understand them?

"Not everybody over there is fluent in English," said Moran, 22. "How would I be able to talk to them? I wouldn't be able to communicate with them. That was my argument. ... I kept on speaking Spanish to whoever understood my language."

Why are they in America seeking new opportunities and a new life if they don't wish to leave behind their old ones?

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) has discouraged such blanket English-only mandates at work, unless they are justified as a business necessity.

Maybe not a business necessity but I would suggest that it is a safety aspect.

"A rule requiring employees to speak only English at all times on the job may violate Title VII, unless an employer shows it is necessary for conducting business," the EEOC says on its Web site. "If an employer believes the English-only rule is critical for business purposes, employees have to be told when they must speak English and the consequences for violating the rule."

A company must also specify why the use of another language hurts or interferes with productivity and efficiency, according to the EEOC.

Moran said that although the rest of the GCI employees "kind of shut their mouth and didn't speak at all," he and the other four continued to use Spanish with their coworkers who weren't well-versed in English.

Again - here's a hint... Learn the language or piss off back to South America if you can't leave it behind!

The five plaintiffs received a second warning to stop speaking Spanish while at work — or face dismissal. Executives told the workers that they could institute any policy they liked because GCI is a private company.

"I felt like I was a slave, basically," said Moran. "I felt discriminated against, violated. I didn't know what to do."

He had the English stick shoved up his arse? He was violated because he wanted everything his way and couldn't have it? Hint: there is a reason why Mexico and South American countries are the way they are - don't come to a prosperous country and expect everything to change to suit how it was "back home" or it will just become a slum as well!

Moran was later transferred from being a packer — which involves packaging sheets of metal — to the more strenuous and less desirable job of hanger, which requires workers to hang heavy sections of metal on racks on the assembly line.

Despite the fact that it was harder work, he said, he was paid the same $9 an hour.

When he persisted in speaking Spanish and asking for his old job back, Moran was laid off after about nine months with the company, he said.

"Richard [Gordon, GCI general manager] took me outside and said, 'We don't need you working anymore. We're not getting as much production,'" Moran remembered. "The next week, they hired somebody else."

You kicked the wrong shit on that one and got what you deserved.

A woman answering the phone at GCI declined to give her name or comment on the legal battle.

The five workers filed their discrimination lawsuit against GCI last week, and are seeking compensatory and punitive damages in the amount of $100,000 per employee, according to Jacobs. The civil suit could ultimately go before a jury.

Jacobs said he also filed a discrimination complaint on behalf of the men with the EEOC and the Connecticut Commission on Human Rights in late spring of 2006.

The plaintiffs contend that GCI hasn't demonstrated how speaking Spanish has had a negative impact on business. To the contrary, they argue, the common-language rule could actually hurt workflow, since so many employees have limited knowledge of English. Most of the GCI employees are of Hispanic origin, according to Jacobs.

"The company claims that the reason for the rule was to enhance the safety of the workplace," he said. "I find that excuse hard to accept when 75 to 80 percent of the workforce speaks Spanish."

He and his clients remain bewildered about what triggered the change in policy.

"I still don't know why they did it," Moran said. "Nobody complained. Nobody cared. ... They're still trying to tell people not to speak Spanish."

Since when was Connecticut in South America? 75-80% of the entire workforce speaks Spanish? Wow - Connecticut really is south of the border! Is it like Hawaii? A seperated state from the mainland?
Idiots >:(
