Yeah, it might be easy to get mad at you, with your universal health care and your thick social safety nets and all, but it's hard to stay mad at you because you're all just so cute! You can pretend to be a real nation, with Quebec arguing for independence and everything (the most *precious* of the precious.. they want to establish French as their main language! Awwww.), and all we want to do is pat you on the head and give you a treat.

I picked up a Canadian hitchhiker once, drove him a hundred-odd miles before we parted ways. He really did say "eh" and "key" for K and "zed" for Z.. It was so precious. ♥

"zed" for Z

Wait, there are other ways to pronounce Z?

Watch this all the way through and you'll get some ice cream.

I continue to be baffled by American pronunciation.

America was cool and decided it wasn't fun to have lots of extraneous letters and syllables on everything.  "ugh" as "ff" is so two hundred years ago.

You know what I find to be hilarious about this whole thing?

You tried to censor the kids running their homelessness simulation (I forget what this was called when I did it in Grade 12, but in our case, it was a charity), by posting up advertisements which put them in a negative light on the school's bulletin board, after having failed to ask anybody first (your school doesn't have administrative assistants?). Then, when you got backlash for this, you pulled the 'freedom of speech' card. If you wanted the people running the event to hear you so badly, why didn't you go talk to them, instead? What is posting up your fliers going to do?

Better yet, why so ideological about Remembrance Day? Are you in a military family or have Grandparents who served in the Second World War (you're likely too young to remember anybody who survived the First World War, less than a handful of those veterans are still alive today)? For the amount of outrage you put into this, you'd better live in Trenton, Kingston, or Petawawa (and if it's the latter, sorry for your shit luck, that's the worst place to be sent besides Cold Lake).

I was an army brat. I went to ceremonies when I was in air cadets for a few years. All the war veterans in the area, my father included, also went to the ceremonies. Then, we came home, and we kept living our lives, regardless of what day it was. My Dad spent this last November 11th's afternoon playing WoW. You better go leave some fliers at his door.

Seriously, my grandpa decided to commemorate his service in WW2 by taking my older brother to his first strip joint on Veterans Day.

Wrong. They have the right to hold the event on any day they want and I have the right to protest it. I tried to argue that to the VP as well and was still shot down. I am not from a military family but I did lose one great grand father in the Falaise gap, one to the crushing of the Dutch reistance and have heard stories from my grandmother about the day they came to take him away.

I don't have all that much to say about issues like this. It's kinda distastful to do homelessness stuff on Vets Day (which is on the same day and roughly the same thing), but not a giant slight. Most schools do have a policy about protesting stuff or placing flyers without Admin. aproval.

A lot of Veterans like to stay inside and spend time with their families on those sort of holidays. Army Times had some discourse about the issue these last two weeks.

What, so you spell it tuff?

Sorry, but relatives you never met dying in the war does not cause you bone-crushing sadness.

Here is where you went wrong: You don't get to protest the institution on the institution's announcement board. You weren't thinking when you did that.

There is either some hilarious repressed rage or some hilarious trollin' going on from Eugenitor in this thread.
