NWBR: I mean, just think of all the breathless CBC "What defines being a Canadian" reports we could have avoided. -- nm - Reagen Apr 8, 11:16 9

  - I honestly do think it's not at all good for the country that Quebec society closes itself off from the ROC. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Apr 8, 11:27 2
    - That's a pretty one sided view. What do you do (personnaly) that's so inclusive? - Guigue Apr 8, 11:30 1
      - For one thing, absorb the same national media. That, in and of itself, gives more sampling of "What's going on in the country?" better than the... - Name Withheld By Request Apr 8, 11:41

        Nope. The middle was a strawberry ( I eat those). The others were raspberries or something. -- nm - Spawn Apr 8, 11:43 1
        
        oh yeah those were raspberries. -- nm - Remlik Apr 8, 11:44

  - heh heh. -- nm - loosilu Apr 8, 11:16
- I seriously think that hormones completely changed my brain and made me baby crazy. There's no rational reason for how I feel. -- nm - Amy Apr 8, 11:12 1
  - It's another instance of "you'll never completely know until" you have a child. You can explain it, but - JaxSean Apr 8, 11:16
- If I have kids I know I'd want one but if I had to have two I'd want them spaced apart too. -- nm - lileve Apr 8, 11:12

    - Spanish Lesson. -- nm - MDH Apr 8, 11:18
Guigue, you and I need to commit better to our jokes. Actually make people think we're serious before winking for the camera. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Apr 8, 11:06 3
- Well since it's pretty obvious you despise French Canadiana already I didn't want you to think I was being serious - Guigue Apr 8, 11:09 2
  - I just want the country to work. The dual-societies really doesn't, no matter the good intentions. - Name Withheld By Request Apr 8, 11:23 1
    - Yeah it's terrible right now -- nm - Guigue Apr 8, 11:24
Is the unifying thing a two-way street? We want Spanish speakers to learn English to unify, but make them feel unwelcome? - ty97 Apr 8, 11:04 11
- The thing to look at is whether 2nd and 3rd generation immigrants have learned English. - TWuG Apr 8, 11:36 2
  - right. and the data i've seen mostly indicates that they do... - x Apr 8, 11:41 1
    - interesting stuff. -- nm - Mel Profit Apr 8, 11:49
- LIR: I'm over here wondering who is going to shell out to teach English to all the Spanish speakers. - con_carne Apr 8, 11:18 3
  - You can do both. But the anglo-spanish thing we got doesn't really encourage the assimilation - Will Hunting Apr 8, 11:25
  - learning to speak the dominant language in a country and keeping your own culture are not mutually exclusive - Danedukenuuk Apr 8, 11:21
  - No one spent any extra money to teach me English. -- nm - loosilu Apr 8, 11:19
- Speaking of streets, it's like we want immigrating Europeans to drive on the right after they move here... - Dr.Vermin Apr 8, 11:17 3
  - pssst. They already drive on the right. -- nm - loosilu Apr 8, 11:18 2
    - english, japan....who else? (I know sweden switched, that must have been fun driving that year) -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 8, 11:20 1
      - Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, maybe India. -- nm - loosilu Apr 8, 11:21

re: the Forbes Fictional 15, the only reason Bruce Wayne is so low is he gives a lot to charity and has a bunch of freeloading friends -- (link) - crash davis Apr 8, 11:04 11
- and is a psychopathic vigilante jerk -- nm - moles Apr 8, 11:22 1
  - That has to *loan* Superman lunch money. -- nm - Spawn Apr 8, 11:23
- That, and he knows 8 is my lucky number. -- nm - Spawn Apr 8, 11:05 8
  - Forbes doesn't realize that Wayne Industries is more than defense. I think they got him and Stark confused -- nm - crash davis Apr 8, 11:06 7
    - The thing with Wayne is, all of Batman's *wonderful* toys cost $. Doubt they figure directly into his net worth, so that may skew his numbers. -- nm - Spawn Apr 8, 11:14 5
      - plus those are bought under many different shell companies. -- nm - Remlik Apr 8, 11:17 4
        
        Exactly. If the Wayne umbrella was fully disclosed, Monty Burns would drop dead. -- nm - Spawn Apr 8, 11:21 3
        
        the only other company that might come close is LexCorp. -- nm - Remlik Apr 8, 11:23
        
        Hmm. Make that Scrooge McDuck. - Spawn Apr 8, 11:22 1
        
        Burns will probably drop off the list. In the wake of Japan, I expect thorough safety inspections and he won't be able to hide Homer. His stock will - crash davis Apr 8, 11:27
    - I agree. Plus Stark Industries has been dismantled after Stark's mismangement of Shield and the Avengers Initative and the complete failure he had in - Remlik Apr 8, 11:14
*raises the nubby flag* Einstein wrong? Scientists measure Brownian motion? -- (link) - oblique Apr 8, 11:04
I'm pretty excited to rewatch catfish tonight. (I know you don't care.) -- nm - miss amanda phones Apr 8, 11:03 2
- I care. -- nm - Amy Apr 8, 11:15 1
  - totally. fake. -- nm - moles Apr 8, 11:23
There may be similarities, but I don't think you can equate French Canada and the US simply because Spanish-speaking isn't concentrated in one state. -- nm - ty97 Apr 8, 11:02 5
- it isn't here, either. New Brunswick is 1/3 French. -- nm - Reagen Apr 8, 11:17 1
  - (and then there's places like Kapuskasing where they've invented their own moon language.) -- nm - Reagen Apr 8, 11:18
- well, I think bilingualism is good and should be encouraged. - loosilu Apr 8, 11:04
- Que? -- nm - Dr.Vermin Apr 8, 11:04
- (you people were suppose to roll the board faster, so this wouldn't be first. retardos) -- nm - ty97 Apr 8, 11:03
