Did you know that the city of Ottawa is now handing out new crack pipes? it just seems from this post that you may want to know that.
i may have read your message wrong but i believe that they have fullfilled this pr

this is the application like the pr stated would be available
ya so instead now that they are stopped we have to wade throw clutter like yours.
why don't you stop the pestering.
do you have such low esteem and low a confidence that you have to hide behind an alias on an internet site and stock people?
just drop it and grow up. You act like a child that doesn't stop till it gets his way and then rubs it in everyone's faces when you do get your own way.

Microsoft Will Back Gay Rights Legislation

Microsoft Changes Course on Gay Rights Legislation; CEO Says Company Will Support It
SEATTLE (AP) -- After being criticized for quietly dropping support for a state gay rights bill, Microsoft Corp. chief executive Steve Ballmer told employees Friday that management would publicly back such legislation in the future.

Ballmer's commitment came two weeks after activists accused the company of caving to pressure from an evangelical pastor who had threatened to launch a nationwide boycott of the software company.
"After looking at the question from all sides, I've concluded that diversity in the workplace is such an important issue for our business that it should be included in our legislative agenda," Ballmer wrote in an e-mail.
In late April, Lorri L. Jean, CEO of the L.A. Gay and Lesbian Center, asked Microsoft to return a civil rights award the group had given the company four years ago. On Friday she said Microsoft should keep the honor.
"Few of us have not made a misstep. This was a misstep. It was a big one. But Microsoft has done the right thing, and we would be proud to have them keep our award," Jean told The Associated Press.
Ballmer said he would not discuss what prompted Microsoft to take a neutral stance this year on a bill it had actively supported in the past.
Microsoft, one of the first companies to extend domestic partner benefits to same-sex couples, claimed that its decision came before a meeting with Ken Hutcherson, pastor of a local church who has organized anti-gay-marriage rallies in Seattle and Washington, D.C.
Hutcherson could not immediately be reached for comment Friday. He has said he pressured Microsoft after hearing two employees testify in favor of a bill before the state Legislature that would have banned discrimination against gays in housing, employment and insurance.
The bill died by a single vote in the state Senate April 21.
Liberal bloggers called the company a corporate coward and posted rallying cries for their own boycott of Microsoft products. Gay rights groups said they'd keep pressuring Microsoft until the company once again came out in support of the bill.
State Rep. Ed Murray, an openly gay Seattle Democrat who sponsored the bill, said he was thrilled Microsoft had decided to support the legislation the next time it's proposed. "Microsoft knows diversity is just plain good business. And they know that discrimination is bad for business," he said in a statement released Friday afternoon.
Joe Solmonese, president of the Human Rights Campaign, the nation's largest gay rights group, applauded the shift.
"We are proud that Microsoft did the right thing and has come down squarely on the side of fairness for all employees," Solmonese said in a statement. "It is clear from Mr. Ballmer's statement that it is a business imperative to value a diverse workforce and support public policy that reinforces that principle."
In his e-mail Friday, Ballmer said the company would continue to focus its lobbying efforts on issues that most directly affect Microsoft, such as Internet safety, intellectual property rights, free trade and a healthy business climate.
"I'm proud of Microsoft's commitment to non-discrimination in our internal policies and benefits, but our policies can't cover the range of housing, education, financial and similar services that our people and their partners and families need.
"Therefore, it's appropriate for the company to support legislation that will promote and protect diversity in the workplace."
Microsoft shares slipped a penny to close at $25.22 in Friday trading on the Nasdaq Stock Market.

i disagree with your statement. they dont need our support as they already have the backing. with out out support the pps drops to nothing and they can buy all the shares back for next to nothing.
they have all the support they need. they dont need whining investors bombarding every company they try to deal with in the form of phone calls and e-mails. this is going to ruin any deal Frank may be trying to put together with them. Think about it are you going to carry a channel of the rumour is that you will need to hire another call center full of people just ot handle the bombardment of calls trying to verify that the deal is real? I know i wouldn't
JMHO
Rod
you have issues why dont you put that energy to something useful. like maybe some DD. you spend way to much time attacking people, you are definately not well.
seems to me that you take way to much credit. His reply was to me telling you to drop it.
you are assuming that he saw your post when in actuallity he saw my post.
unlike your posts he reads mine.
go take you medicine and relax
that looked like 4 to me.. maybe you in the dont know jack club
back at you mcfly ;)
thank you sir
thank you duke
i find this very interesting can you provide a link to these rules. i am not doubting i would just like to read up on that. thanks
Rod
then maybe you should exercise the patience.
would you feel better if everyone that took the surveys name was on it? then it would not be anonymouse.
do you thing the presedent thinks the sameway when they are doing the election polls? common and get real. drop it.]
it has been done you cnat change it. my opinion is that you are trying to cause confusion in here so that no real talk about the company can take place. if that is what you are doing then you have done a very fine job of it today, I am seriously thinkning about taking a poll of how many have you on the ignore list now. you are really getting anoying today.
that is not a personal attack by the way that is just a fact that you may not like.
Rodney
i disagree. Frank posts constantly in his prs that he cares about what the shareholders think. This is a little test to see if he is being truthful. We are not asking him to change the world. all that the survey is going to tell him is we would like another CC, we are upset with the prs that are not getting fulfilled, and that he should make sure the pr can be fulfilled if he is going ot release it.
all that is going to do is one of 3 things.
1 he is going to listen and act upon it. making the company look better in the public eye.
2 he is going to listen but not agree with us in which case nothing will change for the better or the worse.
3 he is going to turn his back on the investors and show us that he has been lying about caring for the shareholders. which will give everyone the chance to decide what they want to do with this investment.
so is it a waist of time? NO it is not. I for one enjoyed hearing the results. it gives me a pulse for the feeling of the board that i am hanging around in. I personally respect the fact that LOBO took the time to put this together.
if you feel it is a waist of time that is your prerogative, but why worry about it as it was not your time that was waisted.
instead we are waisting every ones time on this board debating the fact that it was done. You cant undo it or change it or wipe out the fact that it has been done. All you can do is waist more time complaining about it, which proves only that you are not concerned about the waisted time but more concerned with creating a stink on the board.
There are a few people on this board that need to grow up and stop the bickering. this is a stock investing board where we come to share DD and get a feel for what we are invested in. as of lately though i feel like I'm caught in an never ending episode of romper room. I can for the life of me understand why any of you would stoop to this level of intelligence and still expect anyone to take you seriously.
please everyone of you take a good look at yourselves, and ask yourselves if you are contributing anything to the stock and the DD with your posts. if the answer is no then maybe reconsider hitting the post button. If you have an issue with someone, do the manly or womanly thing and take it off line and discuss it in pm.
Sorry to waist any ones time that this does not pertain to, but i felt it had to be addressed
Rodney
i fully agree but as of late this seems to describe you Skunks. you never used to be like this. You need to take a vacation and relax a bit.
you are wound up tighter then an 8 day clock.
this is no way to enjoy a retirement.
Skunks I always liked your DD and that is one of the reasons that i joined this board as a paying member.
if this attitude keeps up though this is the last month that i will pay for membership. I don't have to pay for this type of stuff. this thread has become a 200 post a day argument with nest to no useful information.
I don't have the time in the evening to sift through all this crap. there is a pm option if you want to fight with someone. please use it from now on and keep your public posts to the topic and DD that you are good at.
I have not read a good post from you in 3 days now. and that it not the Skunks that i have come here to read. I am inches away from putting you on the ignore list and i really don't want to do that.
Please please please stop this insanity now and get back to enjoying the dd that you used to do. leave out the personal crap and get back to your happy place.
Rodney.
entertained lol but was hoping your where right
no hard feelings though. we all wanted it.
Rod
ok thanks that makes sence.
so for the most part that is a good thing.
Rod
i have a question what is this people mark that people are talking about?
is is a good thing or bad thing to have a people mark?
sorry for the dumb question. im sure it is a very obvious thing but i have not figured it out yet.
maybe im a bit thick
lol
Rod
what part of drop it dont you understand.
dont include me in your insanity.
'DROP IT enough is enough
this is very uncalled for. practice what you preach and ignore if she bothers you.
sorry for the off topic people but the children need to be sent to there corners for a time out.
now back to the Q
http://www.thedesertsun.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20050505/BUSINESS/505050301/1003/BUSINESS
ya unless someone is flipping the bill. I'm still remembering the post about the acquisition rumour for June 1st.
the money is coming from somewhere. and a merger or acquisition makes sense.
never rule out rumours. buy on rumours sell on news.
ya me too i always get the bug in the spring.
I would have bought off the lot but i wanted some features added to the trucj that none on the lot had. they had 3 trucks there that individually had some of the options i required, but none that had everything i wanted. I will not settle ever again on a vehicle that is not quite what i want.
My first f150 was a 2001 and i ordered it. my next one in 2003 i took one off the lot. settled for what was there and regretted it ever since.
6 week wait is a small price to pay for what i wanted.
its going to be a long 6 weeks
actually i put an order in for a new F150 supercrew last Thursday.
They are building it for me and i should take delivery in 6 weeks.
Rod
yup its broke off
did some one turn up the stupid button and break it off?
cause it looks like it is stuck on in the full on possition.
seems to me that if you have to tell someone how good you are.
you probably are not all that good. usually someone that it good at something is recognised by others by thier works not them being told about thier works.
I never was impressed by those that toot thier own horn all the time. Dont tell me show me
cant show me? then shut up.
Rod
ok im done ranting. lol
this is very tastless.
joke or not i think this should be removed.
not to be smart but an add for a gay tv network is an odd thing to see as well. maybe we are on the cutting edge.
we have a security company up here in Canada that states its ticker symbol in all its adds on radio and in the paper.
i just dont see it as odd or desparate. i see it as a way to attract more investors.
Rod
then what is this supposed to be.
http://www.qtelevision.com/main/investorinfo.asp
probably because there is so many trying to convince us that we dont own QTN when you buy QBID.
kinda takes the speculation away from that now doesnt it.
but even after all that we still have Iky POOOOO trying to convince us differently.
Rod
what website are you tlaking about? Q? i was there earlier and it was ok
Rod
sure it does
if i type somethign in here it is now my spoken words.
it thought is conveyed to you by typing it but the is still the spoken
your idea is that if it is in writing then it is not the same as speaking it?
i seriously doubt you would go very far with that arguement in court.
Rod
you should consider this.
what is liable and slanderous.
