View Full Version : To Laugh or Cry?
Trying to find current statistics about higher education in Canada is often a futile exercise. Educators, researchers, and policy makers have complained repeatedly about the lack of national data. And now the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development can be added to the list of frustrated information seekers. In its recent annual education report comparing more than 40 countries, there were more M’s, for missing data, than actual data entries for Canada.
That pattern, notes Maclean’s magazine, means that “Canada ranked last out of 40 countries in regard to how much higher-education information was available for the report, coming in behind countries such as the U.S.A., Croatia, Chile, and Luxembourg.” Canada, where education is a provincial matter, is the only developed country that does not have a federal education office.

IT might just be me, but I think the folks in higher education have better things to do, than run reports.

What college/university did George Bush Jr. go to?
I'm sure they are proud of how he turned out. The man can not even finish a full sentence without eating his words or stumbling on a vowel.
Much like you, if your posts are any indication of your grammatical abilities /ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif
Yes, but I am not a leader of the supposed free world!
And we're all the worse for that...
I would say you are, the whole country.
I may share grammar and spelling mistakes with your president, but atleast I have more common sense than the idiot.
Yes, I am very jealous.

I really don't think there is any place in the world I'd hate to move to more than Canada.
No need to move. God blessed me with being an American, in the greatest country history has ever known.
Jealousy rears it's ugly head speedy?
You've been bitter ever since I took over, and demoted you.
Just curious. What does the T in T-pot stand for?
IS it just because it's shorter than Coffee Pot?
Or does it stand for some other word...
just askin..
I'm a little teapot
Short and stout
Here is my handle
Here is my spout
When I get all steamed up
Hear me shout
Tip me over and pour me out
I'm a very special pot
It's true
Here's an example of what I can do
I can turn my handle into a spout
Tip me over and pour me out
I'm a little teapot
Short and stouts
Here is my handle
Here is my spout
When I get all steamed up
I just shout
Tip me over and pour me out
I'm a very special pot
It's true
Here's an example of what I can do
I can turn my handle into a spout
Tip me over and pour me out
Tea-pot was taken in the IRC days, so I shortened it, and it stuck.
Any women in your life would love to know why they call me T-pot speedy.

Proving your ignorance once more.
As well to prove your obession with Canadians, you did say you were leaving about 20 minutes ago, yet you are still here arguing with me.
I can spit off immature comments, and redo acronyms untill I'm blue in the face. The fact remains you are a sad man and you need to get help before you hurt others.

I'll sink to you level for a moment speedy....
Sticks and stones may hurt my bones, but names will never hurt me.
Do you want your milk and cookies now speedy?
I thought in Canada you gave your kids pot and beer, not milk and cookies.
That is just a stereotype that is reinforced by American ignorance.
shot...to...the...heart...
You are just like the Americans in that video /ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif

T Pot gives Soonet a bad name
LOL, are you sure it is me?
Less people hate me /ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif
Your false sense of security leads you to believe that your liked.

Psychologists have discovered that some people on the Internet become addicted to it, especially BBS's, in order to create a false reality to replace their real world, which is usually very un-fulfilling and unhappy.
These people clamor for 'cyber love' and affection.
I think we can safely assume T Pot is one such person.

O my
I can see that Speedy is really saying.
Someone ban me from Soonet again.
I'm obsessing.
I can't help myself.
Somebody stop me please..
Then, in three months, I can come back again, with a new handle and start all over again.
Hmmm...it seems the pseudo-preacher is struggling with the guilt of knowing deep down he has led many people astray.
Poor man. Getting more bitter by the day.
Pray for him. It can't be easy knowing you lived and sold a great lie for all those years.

Is this the reason why you were banned as RWGR, and come back as Speedy?
Your inability to stay away from a Canadian board, just to stir up trouble?

Weep for Canada's children and that poor excuse for an educational system they have to endure!
I prove your addiction, and you attack someones spelling.
Your 'spelling' is just too good to pass up! /ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif
Your ignorance is just too good to pass up. Why do you think that you are such a great target?
Finding it hard to leave, eh?? /ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/wink.gif
Yes you are.
Your the one who said you had to go, yet you haven't left. I was just done with the other thread.

Oh, okay
Did you not say, about 40 minutes ago that you were leaving?
