Classroom Outbursts Captured on Camera Phone

You'd probably find a few Canadians that would agree with you on that point, Adam.

So far, your put-downs have been pretty lame and immature. You're hardly even trying.

Anyway, try to keep on topic next time...

Stephen Harper eats babies.

Adam Stanhope, I didn't see much humour in your attack on Canadians. I knew you meant it to be funny, but it was humour where you put down a group of people for no reason. In that vein, I suppose people who don't laugh at racist, homophobic, or sexist jokes are simply uptight and lacking in humour.

My "Some Canadian girl kick your ass once?" was an appropriate humorous response, rather than simply pointing out how hateful and bitter your statement sounded.

Sorry if you didn't get it.

I remember my fourth grade teacher, Ms. Eva, who was a young and idealistic teacher at the time. She used to take a little time out to challenge us to a "trivia contest" - each "column" of seats was a team, and we all get to answer a question.

The topic ranged from biology to geography to whatever - it was the most interesting time I had in a classroom. We actually paid attention to whatever it was she was teaching so we would have time leftover for the trivia game (and so we'll know the answer to the question, of course).

Then the school cracked down on her, and made her stop - so I can see monkey_town's point: school system don't like iconoclasts. They only see one way of doing things: their way, whether it's right or wrong.

Does "Je me souviens" really mean "I am the soup" ?
