  • I'm Glad I Just Read These...(long)

    These are answers from people's surveys that I came across while doing my job. I don't call people for surveys anymore, I just take their answers and sort through them. Sometimes I wish I could call these people and tell them how dumb they are. Some are just plain funny.

    Q: If you had one "extra" hour each day, what would you be most likely to do during that hour?

    A: Make woopie


    Q: Other important reasons why you have become or would become more involved in political advocacy and/or elected politic?

    A: Sometimes we have more interest and knowlege in an area and are able to contribute more than people without that knowlege and experience (gee, ya think?)

    Q: What do you dislike about Chip cards?

    A: Will certainly lead to higher user fees from the companies that are obviously run by clones of Shylock

    Q: What can you remember about the most recent commercial you saw or heard for Pillsbury Toaster Strudels?

    A: Hey, I don't control the remote blame my dad that i never see commercials.

    Q: What can you remember about the most recent advertising you saw for Budweiser?

    A: I don't know, I don't watch the commercials because I think their beer tastes like dead frogs (is that specific enough?)

    Q: In your opinion, why do you think someone applies to become a Canadian citizen?

    A: movies in canada

    A: maybe to show good faith that they are for Canada and not against Canada

    A: newfoundlanders were born here but were not citizens (partly true, but it wasn't just Newfoundlanders who had that issue)

    A: Leaders have to be prayed for and we have to turst their leadership and have to keep a close eye on what there doing and how the uphold the public (What? Where did this come from??)

    A: Because they're not from here.

    A: some of them are terrorists and I dont think they have been checked properly cuz i dont know. All of them have false ID

    Peoples' spellings of the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV):

    -Harmone poplova vaccine

    -Hapilona virus

    -Hemapapaloma virus

    -Hepatitus Papiloma vaccine

    -Happa papalone vacine

    -Heredity pelvic virus

    -Herpes Pappa Virus

    -Human Virus

    -Vacsean

    -Human papalomise virsus

    -Human Papaloville virus

    -Hypo Pavolic Vaccine

    Q: What aboriginal issues are you aware of?

    A: I heard Bush is touring Asia.

    Q: What problems or issues did you encounter? (Air Canada Jazz)

    A:i am a 57 year old Caucasian woman. My bags were all opened and examined at the Windsor airport and I was thoroughly searched. Even my boots were removed. I have arthritis and all that packing and unpacking was a painful inconvenience. Meanwhile, there were 2 Mid-Eastern people, working at the airport with direct access to the baggage, airplane and airport who better fit the profile of terrorist. One of them was a young adult Mid-Eastern male. Yet, I was told when I mentioned this that I was being racist, and guilty of racial profiling. Tell me, how many 57 year old Caucasian women have been suicide bombers, or crashed planes into buildings? Hiring people to work in an airport with access to the planes and baggage should be a secure and meticulous process. Due consideration must be given to the ethnicity of the applicant when determining their access to different security levels. Different government investigative units (RCMP etc)use profiling to find the perpertrator. In this case, profiling should be used as a prophylactic measure to lessen the chances of a hijacking or bombing. Hiring airport workers from a demographic that has shown to have historical links with terrorist activity, (99.9% of terrorists have been young, adult Mid-Eastern males) shows a remarkable lack of prudence and foresight on your part. Wake up, Air Canada. there is a time to be politically correct and a time to be prudent.

    (This last one really really pissed me off, how much more prejudiced can you be? I'm glad that the security people told her she was being racist, what a numpty)

    maybe not as far off as you think...

    the last one tells me she's fully ignorant of what a terrorist is; who bombed the federal building in okc? a young, white male

    are all al qaeda of middle eastern descent? no, there people of many nations represented, one was a young white male, from america.

    are all suicide bombers young men? no, there are instances of young women doign this as well.

    not intended as a rant, just annoyance at the ignorance people display, in spite of information that is readily available that shows that just because one group committing an act of terrorism happens to be of a certain background doesn't mean that ALL are of the same background.

          According to Dictionary.com:

          pro·phy·lac·tic
          –adjective
          1.defending or protecting from disease or infection, as a drug.
          2.preventive or protective.
          –noun
          3.Medicine/Medical. a prophylactic medicine or measure.
          4.a preventive.
          5.a device, usually a rubber sheath, used to prevent conception or venereal infection; condom.

          Hmmm...she was using prophylatic as an adjective...I didn't know that it could be used as such. I learned something today!

          It's another way of saying "sex". I can't believe that people still use that term.

          Alright, if you have ANY comments regarding terrorists, terrorism, the pros or cons of racial profiling, or who should and shouldn't be allowed to work in an airport, either keep them for yourself OR take it to Fratching. You have been warned.

              I'm not sure how that could be at all accurate. The aboriginal issues in question were for Natives in Canada. I don't see how Bush touring Asia is in anyway relevant.

                I know that when I travel with friends who work for the airline I get searched every time. (but that makes sense to me and I plan for it)

                as for the extra hour - at least the person was attempting to be polite to whomever was going to read the results?

                Since I don't practice medicine for a living . . .I wouldn't know how to spell the "P" for HPV

                  Some of those misspellings are rather amusing, especially calling a "virus" a "vaccine." There's a big difference between those things.

                  A: Make woopie
                  I would have spelled that one "whoopie" because "woopie" makes me think of "Woo Pie," which is something a former roommate of mine wanted to make for his girlfriend one Valentine's Day. It was going to be a strawberry cream pie with an Oreo crust, but he wanted to hide a necklace inside it.

                  Would have been a good pie.
                  It was a marginally clever idea.
                  But "Woo Pie" for a name? Ugh.

                  Yes, that is specific enough. It tells me that you remember the commercial with the Budweiser frogs and have therefore made an unconscious connection with this brand of beer and its former amphibian mascots. You DO watch the commercials after all!

                    Speaking of someone who lives in Windsor and flies from that airport regularly...
                    Wake up and smell the local cultural makeup, bitch! If you alienated everybody here of Middle-Eastern descent, a third of the city would be gone! I've been searched heavily in airports too. Why? Because I forgot a CO2 cartridge in there. This dumb, racist fuck probably had something unflyable in their luggage.

                      Yeah, I thought the use of the word prophylactic was weird too...the first thing I thought of was condoms. I love it when people try to use big words but clearly don't quite understand what they mean.

                        I don't practice medicine either, but I do have very good spelling. I understand that it's a weird word, but some of the spellings weren't even close to being the right word. Not to mention, that the word Papilloma has probably been used a bunch of times in the study that even if you don't spell it right, you should be able to hit a close variation.

                          While the word aboriginal refers to the native (tribal) population of a country, it is most typically (at least in the US) associated with the native tribes of Australia, collectivally known as the Aborigines.

                          My tendency when I hear the word 'aboriginal' is to start with an assumption of Australia. My guess is the respondant in the survey heard the word 'aboriginal', was only familiar with it in relation to Australia, and wrote the comment about Bush touring Asia becuase that was the last time they had heard of him in the area.

                            Rather than shove this thread forcibly into Fratching, I have a question for our Canadian members. Is racial profiling still allowable practice by your government? Because government agencies in the US (not to mention private companies and individuals) have been getting sued over such practices for years.

                            And Spiffy, while I agree this thread could quickly turn to Fratching, I'm pretty certain everyone here can agree that race should not be a factor (and, thankfully, often isn't a factor) when applying for a job. Even a high-security airport type job.

                            And we can probably all agree that the "57 year old Caucasian woman" in the OP is just a supremely racist, disagreeable, closed-minded bitch. Don't we have some sort of system for dealing with those types?

                              What frightens me the most about the last response is its grammatical correctness and the erudition apparent therein. Now, when college graduates can't properly parse a sentence, have no idea what a verb tense is and think "ain't" is an actual word, here you get something that grammatically doesn't make your eyes bleed, and yet, reading it still makes your eyes bleed. I mean it's bad enough to know you're surrounded by idiots, but some of the smarter ones are idiots as well. I really hate the human race sometimes.
