Re: Child abuse?

If it wasn't for Wii Sports most kids in Canada wouldn't get any exercise for nine months of the year.

Re: Child abuse?

I have to disagree with this assertion. I have met lots and taught lots of Canadian teachers and the vast majority of them are professional, hard working, passionate, well-educated and really want...

Re: Child abuse?

They do seem to favour competing in sports that nobody else in the world gives a toss about.

Re: Child abuse?

My opinion on lower mainland schools with the odd district as an exception, is that they all do a fairly decent, although not outstanding, job and one school and district is not that much different...

Re: Child abuse?

Of course it makes sense. It's an example and manifestation of the institutionalized mediocrity that seems to be at the heart of Canadian national consciousness. As I said before, IMO accepting...

Re: Child abuse?

I was asking a general question, it wasn't directed at you personally.

Re: Child abuse?

There's no need for personal attacks, keep it general.

Back to my point, if Canada didn't have stuff to dig up or chop down the country would be in a very sorry state. The lack of dynamism here is...

Re: Child abuse?

That's probably why Canada won only three gold medals at the last summer olympics. They value and teach mediocrity.

But what about the mollycoddled teachers? HID has been to three celebratory dinners and is off to her second pancake breakfast this morning and its only Thursday. :blink:

Re: Child abuse?

I'll have you know that on the advice of my very reputable Canadian doctor I've been cutting back on my sodium intake of late. It's the modern way. :thumbup:

They flew the coup along time ago. And while I wanted a better life for them, I suspect back in the day they were hanging around with the likes of lmartin999 at the back of the precinct, sniffing...

Re: Child abuse?

"If the milk turns out to be sour, I ain't the kinda pussy to drink it"

Re: Child abuse?

Re: Child abuse?

There are weather related issues I suspect. Especially if you live in the eastern part of the country. Heat and humidity in the summer, minus degree temps in winter.
