In order to forego further discussion (argument) on the issue of college for girls, this article will outline the principal reasons for shunning college for girls.

A jihadi rapper and a pizza delivery man who loved Tim Hortons. Impressive. Now if only Canada could convince the rest of the crowd to follow suit, so to speak.
In 2004, Hammami drove to Canada, which he wrote was “like entering a new world. … There are Tim Horten’s [sic] fastfood joints all over the place and people speak from their nose,” he wrote. In Toronto, he married a Somali-Canadian, but he didn’t like the city’s “Western defects” and noted it was not “a pure Islamic society.”
Perhaps the American in him might have consulted with a Fodor’s before learning first-hand that Toronto is not “a pure Islamic society.” Although, the poor, ignorant fool hails from Alabama, so… go figure.
Having spent considerable time in Somalia in a past life, I’m sure the Somalis were happy to be rid of him. I know Canada is.
Der Homeland Stasi is already in a meeting to decide on how, exactly, they can screw this up, and at the same time, force everyone on both sides of the U.S./Canada border into servitude.
You can ask Wes Loe a lot of things about his life in Hyder, Alaska, population 65. You can ask about the mail delivery (waiting for a letter is like waiting for the “second coming of the Lord”); about the black bears wandering through town (“we all have guns”); and about living in an Alaskan community that uses Canadian currency, has a B.C. area code (250), relies on B.C. hydro for its power and sends its children to the Bear Valley School in neighbouring Stewart, B.C., population 300. –National Post

Hiroshima, Neil? Really? Hiroshima in Canada?
Even though Neil Young is Canadian, I think he’s been spending far too much time associating with our American cousins.
In Hiroshima, total casualties were around 150,000. Throw in Nagasaki, because I can, and that poor city ended up with around 75,000 casualties. I didn’t even have to look that up. But I’ll bet good money that Neil doesn’t know what he doesn’t know.
In other words, Neil Young, go fuck yourself and keep burning that Middle Eastern oil you’re so fond of. That’s the Middle Eastern oil converted to fuel the airplane* you used to get your old, tired musician’s wrinkled ass to Fort McMurray, Neil.
Incidentally, Neil, those “national farmers” you’re so fond of are most likely owned by conglomerates burning Middle Eastern oil in the tractors and harvesters. That’s the oil used to fund the Middle Eastern butchery that goes on every day. You know, the Middle East that thinks America should solve all its problems every time it has one? That Middle East.
How’s that working out so far, Neil? Do you even have an idea?
* I apologize profusely. Mr. Young drove from San Francisco in some monstrosity called a LincVolt powered by electricity and Ethanol. Obviously, Mr. Young has far too much time on his hands. Perhaps he wasn’t aware that, in his absence, Canada has remained a backwater, lacking electric-car plugins, gasoline refined from corn (we all know how that’s going), and it still has WW2-Hiroshima-sized atomic bombs going off everywhere.
I’m excited that the United States of America and its citizens have finally taken notice of Canada. Thankfully, because of those Hiroshima-sized nuclear explosions going off everywhere oil happens to be present, building a fence at the border won’t be necessary to keep them out.
God Save the Queen.

Without even a quick look to check numbers, here’s how it stacks up for some of us:
Hitler
Assad
Hussein
And just for the hell of it, let’s throw in the United States of America and see what we come up with.
Or wrong.
Hitler? Really? You had to drag out Hitler, as many Americans do when comparing people in their own country to a favorite bogey-man? Why, I’ll never understand, but for the most part, it’s probably ignorance. Deliberate ignorance of fact is not unknown in America.
Why not some American bogey-man? Oh, that’s right. America is the good guy in all of this, just waiting to bomb the shit out of more innocent civilian men, women and children to show the world how righteous it is.
God bless America in its pursuit of even more enemies around the world.
because we all some a few of us know it wouldn’t be long before it would be implemented on this side of the ocean. For all we know, perhaps it has already been implemented in, you know, some country on this side of the ocean. A simple executive order would do it, for the most part, and Congress wouldn’t ever have to be consulted. Nor would the electorate.
Sound familiar?
Quoting an outside news source is now illegal. Linking to a news site is illegal. Opposing the government on your personal blog, of course, was already illegal, and those who did so were routinely prosecuted. –the Daily Dot

The New York Times revealed Tuesday that the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) has access to the entirety of telecom giant AT&T’s phone records.
the Hemisphere program enables swifter and more reliable tracking of drug dealers. The program “simply streamlines the process of serving the subpoena to the phone company so law enforcement can quickly keep up with drug dealers… –salon.com
What dumbassery.
Of course the American government and the DEA can quickly keep up with drug dealers by using a vast and illegal database. That’s why the importation and use of drugs is way, way down and rapidly decreasing. Because, you know, the government is listening, and the drug dealers are so very afraid.
Unrelated, but I have to say it anyway:
Already the American Constitution lies in tatters. Judges and courts spout corporate and government propaganda in their judgements. The middle class has been raped, pillaged and destroyed by greedy corporations. Politicians of all stripes are bought, sold and traded by big business and the lobbying machines like nothing more than the cattle they are. Mainstream media, owned by giant corporations, ignores and abdicates their responsibilities, then lines up to see who can kiss more government ass, faster.
The biggest joke of all: Ignorant citizens, ad nauseum, hold high three-word signs, much photographed, proudly declaring, We the People.
Doesn’t anyone know the rest of it?
The next two presidential elections will seal the fate of America. If not one of them will begin to put an end to the abject stupidity, there will be no end to the road America has chosen to travel. Ever. Sadly, many nations will be drawn in to Amercia’s nightmare, as others have in the past during related excursions by other countries.
I really hope I’m wrong on this, but I don’t think I will be.
