Welfare with a different label, so they can hire a whole heap of new [bleep] graduates to hand it out to other [bleep] who can't find a job or never have the intention of wearing a hard hat.
Drinking beer in the local pub, or taking drugs is now a cultural right and being interactive sharing a bottle of wine behind the dumpster at 09:00 in the morning. The only art form they know is the jail house tatoo and the cultural artist who applies them to their terminally stupid heads.

I didn't see any relationship to homosexuality in your post.

So, I am confused.

There must be some funding available that you can apply for, a paid holiday for 3 months because you can't teach in a confused mode. If the government can give maturnity leave to two Lesbians that adopt or to two Homo's that adopt anything goes man.

Perfect!..
You certainly have a way with words..

You confuse easily because you can't read and don't have the common sense to understand what you do read..
Which is sad because most of your fellow teachers are denser than yourself..

Ah OK.

Where do you buy your stuff anyway - it must be pretty strong...

And, might I ask - what illustrious occupation has been gifted with your own stellar intellect?

My mother RIP had a book keeping business here in rural BC..
We were talking about her bussiness one day and she off handly said that of all the people she did taxes for that the teachers as a group had the least common sense..
But then again she mostly did books for ranchers, farmers, millworkers, miners and loggers..
Me?
After college (aggie, biosci) I went to OCS at Quantico (65 on the draft lottery in 1969).
After the service I was office manager at a feedlot, then southern div. labor manger for the second largest produce company in the US, then managed a crop dusting outfit..
Three Hillers and 12 ground rigs..
When I moved up here I worked on my folks ranch and when they sold it I went into logging..
I am retired now..

Are you on recess now or are you taking a "sick day" ??

BTW Brian,
I don't claim to be all that smart (something that you learn from old age), but on the other hand I am not a complete idiot and or a attention whore..
Nor do I waste that much time with them unless it's for sport..


hint..

A government wasting money?????

Say it isn't so!

Nothing here folks, keep on moving.

If being retired means that the highlight of my day will be coming onto forums and bashing my fellow hunters, I think I'll keep working

After college (aggie, biosci) I went to OCS at Quantico (65 on the draft lottery in 1969).

I don't understand this statement. When I was drafted in 1969, there was no draft lottery; at least not to my knowledge. The lottery came later. Perhaps I am simply misunderstanding you. GD

I believe that the first U.S. draft lottery was held in Dec. 1969 and was effective for the 1970 calendar year.

That is correct..

The Marine Corps had a 6 month delay program and I signed up for that and reported to OCS in the fall of 1970..

I like sports!! ;-)

They just keep finding ways to give away all those tax dollars they collect of my pay checks. It's no wonder this country is running a deficit!!!!

$66,000,000.00 and they want more!!! Our governments have gone friggin' mad!!! I shouldn't have to pay taxes to support this garbage!!!!!!!


OTTAWA-The commission created to delve into the dark history of Indian residential schools in Canada says it can�t afford to execute its full mandate to collect historical records because the federal government and the churches won�t pay for the costs.

The Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) also says it is having difficulty prying the historical records from the hands of churches and the federal government.

The TRC was created as part of the federal government�s massive billion dollar court settlement with residential school students.

In total, Parliament approved $66 million for the TRC to use.

About 150,000 children were forced to attend residential schools. Many were taken from their homes with the help of the RCMP. There, children suffered physical and sexual abuse and many died from disease and violence.

The schools aimed to purge Indigenous culture from the children by forcing them to lose their language and adopt European ways.

Some academic research has found that the aims and tactics of the residential school system fit the definition of being an act of genocide.

The TRC, however, believes its budget may not be enough to meet its mandate to compile the brutal history of residential schools in Canada.

The TRC says it needs more money, in part because of the added costs it foresees associated with gathering historical records, according to a performance report it submitted to the federal government�s Treasury Board Secretariat.
