The fear of God, in the hearts of babes...

Yesterday, during a class...

Kid 1: *SCREAMS* "He stole my pen and he SWORE at me!!"

Kid 2: "No I didn't!"

Kid 3: "Yes you did! You said the 'A' word!"

Me: "Okay kids, are we all supposed to be Scientists today, or just regular students?"

Class: "Scientists."

Me: "And do Scientists share, or do they fight with one another?"

Class: "Share."

Me: "And are we supposed to be friends, or enemies?"

Class: "Friends."

Me: "And is this a Catholic school, or a Public School?"

Class: "Catholic."

Me: "So then, do you this Jesus would be happy to know that you were swearing?"

Class: *with a look of fear on their faces* "No...!"

Me: "Well then - lets all get along then, shall we?"



The class was quiet thereafter.

The Yuletide season is upon us. For the better prepared portion of our community, you've finished your x-mas shopping. For the bulk of my readers, you probably haven't even begun. For most people, x-mas shopping involves wracking your brain for -the- gift that will compliment your loved ones. For others, a last minute dash to the dollar store will suffice. Then there are the people that shop for their pets. These are not only the people that buy for their pets, but also give from their pets as well. From: Mittenz Major corporations make millions off of these chumps pet owners by milking them for everything their worth. From holiday themed pet toys, to pictures for your best friends with Santa Claws (heh heh) Today I received an e-flyer from PetSmart about some handy-dandy last minute gift ideas for my pets. I am the disgruntled owner of two disgusting cats. Regardless of the fact that they are ungrateful bastards, I wouldn't buy them presents strictly on the principle t

Okay, right off the bat - Approx. 17% of Canada's population is children/youth under the age of 15. A survey conducted in 2003 by the Canadian Teachers’ Federation says watching TV is a daily pastime for 75 percent of Canadian children, both boys and girls from Grade 3 to Grade 10.( ... ) Thus, the average child in Canada spends on average 42 hours a week in front of the television or computer.( ... ) That is a huge demographic. A huge demographic of children being subjected to not only the tripe that's on the tube, but gallons and gallons of information that's being processed through their developing brains on a daily basis. Television stations make millions off colourful, musical shows that get kids hooked. And if they promise a jump on a learning curve, parents will eat that shit up with a spoon. Anything to make their kids smarter and give them that 'edge' and parents forget that they're propagating the problem of hours in front of the boob tube. That said,
