GH lives in Australia, but I see where you come from with this.

I think #1 nailed it.

Mikey · 07-17-2010, 08:21 AM

I know GH lives in Australia, I was making a joke/innuendo because the guy looks like him.

God....for a bunch of stoners we're being a bit defiant this morning now aren't we..

Masse, 35, claims his family has turned down offers of $100,000, $350,000 and $4 million from Osisko Mining Corp. in exchange for the property.

For someone to turn down 4 million $ just because of what they believe in, even if what they believe in is something stupid, it makes them a unique indivdual because they have a backbone (which 2/3 of people today don't).

I defy you calling me defiant!!!!!!!!!!!!!

First of all this guy looks nothing like GH, and secondly....

if he is doing this for the good of his town, he's doing it the wrong way lol.
"most locals support the mine and the economic spinoffs it will bring to Malartic, the mayor says.

"Andre Vezeau expects the project to create 480 direct jobs and another 400 indirect jobs in the declining community of 3,500. Osisko has already constructed a half-dozen institutions, including a school, a community centre and a seniors' residence."

"For the people of Malartic, it's a type of blessing, a second chance."

..all his hundreds of neighbors have been paid for more than their homes are worth, and he's the last one.. Being te last one, he knows the offers will only go up - he's just trying to squeeze as much dough out of the situation as he can.

plus he prob lied about the offer that he declined.. "Osisko won't discuss any of its negotiations with residents, but indicates it has refused demands from Masse for $1 million. It also denies his claim he was offered $4 million."

what a dumbass

**~~Dantastic~~** · 07-17-2010, 02:34 PM

ugh i wanna punch that guy in the face

Mikey · 07-17-2010, 02:40 PM

wow this thread depresses me

i really thought that yahooka was a board with a broad member society from all sorts and kinds of the world

and we stand up for what somebody believes in!
fight the power
fight the machine
defy society's rules and shit

i thought yahooka would be all over that

it depresses me to see so many here as just numbers

i didn't think we had numbers here
i thought we had individualities and characters
but clearly
we have numbers
digits

shai_hulud · 07-17-2010, 02:49 PM

he's in it for the money and he's not even good at hiding it. he's filing a class action suit for 205 million, 1m for each former resident including himself. he's a scam

Mikey · 07-17-2010, 03:02 PM

because there was 205 home owners in that town
and 204 home owners sold their homes for these mine digging people

and he's the last one to hold out
and he's suing for 205 million $ so every single home owner including himself get 1M$

he's a hippy at heart

shai_hulud · 07-17-2010, 03:06 PM

thanks for the heads up...
