TransCanada, the Canadian company behind the proposed Keystone XL pipeline

@Willi Said

enron comes to mind, but then i guess i would suck at business if i had to lie to sell a product.

Justice, as in the 'justice system'? That's a laugh. There is no such thing as a justice system, just players and pawns.

Honesty? Everyone has their unique definition to that word also.

Finally, only applies IF the person in question has a 'conscience'.

These numbers are merely theoretical in nature, these oil execs are putting out numbers of people who they "think" will be employed throughout the duration of this project.

They're trying to sell a proposal to Congress, the nation is witnessing high levels of unemployment, how would you sell this package?

It's not that much of a leap. I'm not saying these numbers are untrue, I would need to do additional research in order to figure that out, but I would be very skeptical from the outset, but I have years of business experience, perhaps I am just jaded.

@rosexthorn Said

Same here, but that's basically what it takes to get to success in business most of the time.

TransCanada's figures come from a study that independent analysts have called "dead wrong," "meaningless," "flawed and poorly documented."

That is a hell of a lot of jobs to lie about . Add to that that the pipeline company and out state department Hillary was named are in bed together and our media is shinning there lights camera somewhere else . How loverly is this I ask you ?

@CausaMortis Said

I'm pretty drunk at the moment and still have a pretty difficult time getting past your numerous typos and grammatical errors in trying to ascertain what exactly you are trying to say.

@CausaMortis Said

So essentially what we have here is an oil company trying to force US tax payers to help pay for a pipeline that would connect oil coming straight out of Canada to Asian oil markets, and the main vain of contention is whether these same oil company who stand to incur virtually all of the profits and none of the costs are lying about the actual number of people who will be employed in this project?

Is it really that hard to believe that this would be the case?

I don't mean to toot my own horn, but I'm a fairly successful business man myself, and in my estimation if these oil companies AREN'T lying or at least vastly exaggerating the amount of people who will be employed in this project, then they make for fairly terrible businessmen.

This is a softpitch.

@Willi Said

honesty is dead?

@Willi Said

hey, both contries have humans doing things.
i'd say we are even

@white_swan53 Said

yes you must be pretty drunk , My spell checker only shows one misspelled word and I did that one purposely .

@white_swan53 Said

Hey . don't waste your typing energy . everyone who is anyone knows it's okay for others to bash America and bring out any little slip of dirty laundry without reply , we should just hang out head and act grateful . may be mumble thank you .

@CausaMortis Said

I don't want to get into it, but your spelling and grammar is far from ONE mistake shy of being perfect. Note, this is coming from someone whose native language is not English. Your above posts are prima facie evidence to this effect.

A good strategy towards remedying this condition might be first learning the difference between: their; there; and they're; then going back over your original message. Your spell checker is lying to you.

@white_swan53 Said

Okay, you are completely and totally correct. My spell checker is a liar and my grasp of English as a language is left wanting.
Thank you for being such a good and on the ball spelling and grammar cop. What would the Internet be with people such as yourself ?
