I am 100 per cent the opposite.

I was born in ‘85 and my parents often did that to us in a big city. If asked how I survived I’d respond with “because I’m not a dumbass like I imagine your kids must be...”

I grew up in a city of 3 million and I can promise based on the standards today my parents would have been deemed unfit.

In quite a few countries those benefits are extended to common law couples as well, and more and more countries are headed in that direction.

Well I suppose there really is no point in trying to convince someone who is clearly such a ball of joy to have some fun :p

Than go to concerts, cultural celebrations, or elite sports competitions?

Were they really? Oh man... it’s clearly been a loooong time :p

Clearly. The events have been great, the free concerts have been pretty awesome, and it doesn’t hurt that it feels like Canada gets a medal every other event. We’ve been off enjoying the festivities - you should give it a shot.

It’s been a blast, frankly. I don’t actually know a single person who hasn’t enjoyed it.

And the US gave us Marky Mark, OTown, SClub 7, Miley, Rebecca Black, Adam Levine amongst oh so many others.

At the risk of having my maple syrup privileges rescinded, the fact that he’s not Canadian isn’t the REAL reason, it’s just the most polite way we could think of saying “Kanye sucks, we don’t deserve that kind of torture. If we wanted to be tortured we’d have tried to stop Bieber from moving to the States.”

Well... I don’t disapprove per se, I just don’t partake or know anyone who does. We’re pretty laissez faire about it though, if you want to, go for it.

Haha I wish :p

I dunno... I very often think it would be much better to have to deal with that than what women deal with. At least five days a month I wish I was a guy...

I wonder if you’re hearing it because you were listening for it?

I don’t know much about Buddhism, but this hardcore goes against what I thought about the religion...

Atleast he’s not Tyler Wentworth Jr or something ;)

Oh man, that song is a running joke in my house! Whenever it comes on the radio my dad start grumbling about “he’s a damned rocket scientists - she SHOULD be impressed.”

My parents are common-law and I technically have two last names, though one is used more as a middle name than anything else.

A couple women have successfully played pro hockey...
