Hello "awspartb"!
Is that what really happened to you or someone in your family???
I say this not to offend you or your family but, for the life of me, I cannot find any other reasonable excuse as to why you express yourself in such a bitter, resentful manner towards our Canadian friends, or how you address someone who's proud of their own heritage by calling on them to go back home where they came from!!!
If you are an AWS member and your call sign is "awspartb" then that must mean that you're really NOT a goood example of what a REAL AWS member should represent themselves in this forum!!! BTW, is'nt "partb the part of the CWI exam that gives questions based from a code that is'nt really used in the real world??? Are you for real "awspartb"??? I think NOT!!!
If you are an AWS member, and you express your feelings based on a whole bunch of assumptions then, you should behave youself in a manner that is in line, and representative of the rest of us that represent the members of the AWS!!!
The other day on the news, I saw a political cartoon where all these figures of humans were being shown as folks with their heads up their proverbial colons... You kind of remind me of them... In other words, when I read your posts, I picture you as one of them!!!
If you do'nt agree, then start acting like an American Welding Society Member in good standing like the rest of us!!! You have an obligation to treat the visitors from whatever part of the world they're from with respect and dignity unless it's obvious that they are NOT doing the same!!!
Please do'nt disappoint me or any other member of the AWS with your continuing mental garbage that you have already spewed beforehand!!! In order to earn respect, you must first give it freely without any prejudice!!!
May God help you to get rid of your anger, and bitterness towards total strangers!!!
Respectfully,
Henry
