Yeah. I mean shit, one of our students was killed in the Nice incident last year and they didn’t even do this.

My 92 year old mum and a busload of her pals from the local senior centre have stopped crossing the border to go gambling. That is absolutely huge.... they are relentless once they hit the slots.

Funny funny. Except in my experience the “boy scouts” in Canada - or the group formerly known as the boy scouts - are actually way more progressive than the Girl Guides. They’re now just called “Scouts Canada” because they’ve been completely co-ed for almost 20 years now, and this is one of their bylaws:

New York City is also projecting that there will be 300,000 fewer tourists. Because people are hearing stories of CBP treating people like shit and deciding that it’s just not worth the risks. And the idea of forcing people to hand over passwords is terrifying for the business crowd, so business travel should be down…

Thanks. Truth be told, I’d give anything to go back. I know it’s a cliché, but the Sixties really were a fascinating time in this country. Early Seventies too. And then came Disco. Disco fucked everything up.

Wish I could star this more... :/

That is a brilliant idea. Maybe the teachers can’t grasp that though, because all children must aspire to be “bosses” and “owners.” Just ask their parents:/

I was sent back to my country of origin (I think it was Russia?) After that I rolled some dice to determine my fate and ended up with Tuberculosis from which I did not recover.

You’re probably right. When I was in 7th grade, the Social Studies teacher at our Catholic school tried something similar, if a bit more generic. She created “Pig Week.” 6 or 7 students (I was one) were designated as “pigs,” to be discriminated against in various ways. This was a very long time ago (late 1960s), and I…

Yeah, having them draw slaves (and happy ones at that WTF?) is a terrible idea.

There’s so much ignorance about the very good resources avaliable that show teachers how to teach these things well, ignorance about the importance of history and the difficulty in teaching empathy.

Ways to learn about slavery while maintaining the humanity of enslaved people:

Speaking of ducks I took this picture on a recent trip.

Wow, I agree with PETA on one thing. Will wonders never cease?

One quibble: You can be a bona fide musician without also being a composer or lyricist.

“Ed Sheeran, who studies indicate totally sucks.”

I’m moderately sympathetic to that, but it’s been at least eight years and now he’s threatening to derail his child’s life.

I understand how emotional and petty probate and family law stuff can be from all sides but is he seriously going to waste all of that money on an appeal?

I think so, if you remarry your spouse doesn’t have custory rights. Here all three of them do.

This is misleading. It’s not like three people fucked once and then fought over the custody of the ensuing child. In general usage, a threesome is an act; this was a relationship/combination of relationships.
