I'm glad you were taught proper manners. I was too - and was even given "Tiffany's Table Manners for Teenagers" when I was around 12. By the way, I'm actually Canadian myself. "Anglo" in this case is an ethnic term more than one that is based on nationality. When my husband and I were still dating, he told me that…

I really don't understand why some people don't think proper manners are important. I've had arguments with my peers when I said that manners should be integrated into the regular school program - peers always counter argue by saying that the only manners we're teaching are those that are generally accepted by Anglo…

But don't they realize that by being insular, they're just further isolating themselves from the rest of society? And that outsiders are never going to get to know them, and therefore improving such relations? I mean, if what you do is "different" in my eyes, yet you won't talk to me to explain to me about what you…

I never realized that Thanksgiving was considered a religious holiday. I know that SOME Jews don't celebrate Thanksgiving, but I always thought it was a Canadian thing - because our Thanksgiving is in October and really close to Rosh Hashanah.

Have they ever thought that they might be discriminated against "all the time" because they're so "different" and isolated from most of "mainstream" society? Just sayin'.

Looks like a joystick from the late 80s/early 90s.

Siri is still in limited use outside of the US. For example, here in Canada, I can't ask her to recommend me restaurants...yet. I heard that there'll be an update some time in 2012.

Re the scene from Bye Bye Birdie.... well, that's how things went viral until recently LOL

On girls not having a pants option. I would think that Greenwood, being one of the "newer" schools (founded in the late 1990s, I believe) would have a pants option for girls, but if they're anything like the older schools, then pants (for girls) probably isn't considered "Number One Dress" (the "formal" uniform,…

It's a major tech issue day! My Blackberry was working on and off (still can't get Tweets via Ubersocial) and I had to update my iPad 2 twice just to get iOS 5... (iPad/iTunes froze at one point)...

Some brands use women's names. And my name is usually some really hot pink or dark goth shade. Don't know why.

I always thought clothes for the legislative assembly should be financial district/legal industry-appropriate. What she was wearing (in terms of cleavage) is more office appropriate in creative industries. Just my opinion though.

Thumbs down on this. Can't teachers just randomly call on some kid?

Holy, even my mom, who on her wedding day was 5'5" and 93-95 lb (she was 23 at the time) is proportionately heavier than their requirements! My mom remained under 100 lb until she got pregnant with me seven years later.

So this is like Master?

I was about to bring this up. Strange that Madelle hasn't caught on the way Ms. has in the English speaking world.

What happened to Master So-and-So for young boys? When I was planning my wedding invitations, I considered addressing our ring bearer (who was 4 1/2 at the time) as Master NAME, but my then fiance (now husband) vetoed it (said that his friend wouldn't get it), so we went with just his first and last names (written…

She's so...wholesome looking in these pictures. I wonder what would have happened if she used the Norma Jean image for movies rather than Marilyn. Would there have been less pressure if she wasn't marketed as a sex symbol?

You should have told them that there were a few...over at Starbucks. They sounded they needed coffee - LOL :)
