Just under 5.1 million students enrolled in publicly funded schools in 08/09 was what I could find. Keep in mind, my prices are completely arbitrary. It could probably be done a lot chraper in reality. Still, looking at at least a billion. Probably more.

If it were to be done without some of the unnecessary costs mentions by Mr. Campbell, I'd highball it at 7$/day/student. Lowball it at 4$. Find the number of k-12 students in canada, then multiply that by 5, then by the number of actual school days in a school year.

Gotta ask, why did you leave the reserves? You seemed like you were enjoying it, what changed? Have you managed to solve your dramas, and change the attitude of getting something you want with minimal effort? Something tells me that those things would hurt your chances of living a successful life.

This may come off as disrespectful toward my elders given my age, but I'm saying it anyways. I've met and worked with many, MANY people who were around when those 'original' tests were being give who couldn't do them either. Believe me, there's a great number of people my age who have the...

It's easy to point out the symptoms, and reasons for the symptoms. It's also easy to point out that yes, that gash on my arm that has been bleeding for almost 4 hours, but I put a bandaid on it 3 hours ago so it'll be just fine. Here are some symptoms: Parents sends kid to school with lunch...

Also keep in mind, just because mom and dad can afford to send little jonny to school with a full lunchbucket, doesn't mean that they actually do. Nor does having a lunch necessitate that the kid will actually eat it.

Well then, since we only have a small chunck to worry about now, I guess it would be even less expensive to implement, n'est pas?

A quick look into the stats yielded that 1/9 children in Canada live below the poverty line. It's a given that they ought to be afforded the opportunity to be fed. How much would it cost to give each of them a lunch every school day, and where to we find this money? Would 1/9 even truly...

re: Meal Program I remember distinctly the breakfast program which every school I attended, from elementary school in NB right through to high school in Ontario. Milk, toast/bagel, some fruit, orange juice, granola. It was available for every student who wanted it, "rich or poor". Granted, that...

Oops, I meant THIS.

Pretty sure there's a couple hundred unemployed able bodies near where you're going to pick it up. I'm sure you could find a couple who'd be more than willing to help you if you give them a couple balls of wax and tell'em it's crack.  Also, this.

BTW, their "one demand" is an overall end to greed. I really don't understand why in the blue sacre they haven't been able to just come out and say it so bluntly (no pun intended). I guess, when you think about the 7 deadly sins, it is completely contradictory to their belief in no higher power...

Someone who is fully committed to their own life and belief system, for better or worse. Other than that, most of the "occupiers" will 'regroup' over the winter.  Should be interesting to see what the spring brings.

Young The Giant - My Body

Make sure you watch the chant beginning at 13:30, as well as the torture the police and firemen had to endure from these "defenders of the 99%" at the beginning. I present for your amusement, The Snuffing of the Sacred Garbage Can Fire @ Occupy Vancouver.

Also, I suggest that this thread be renamed "The Occupy Movement", since it is the proper name for what this has become. edited to add a missing verb.

This is EXACTLY what happens when you give kids trophies for doing sweet frig all. All of a sudden, we grow up and see that there are bigger and better "trophies" that you actually have to do something for. All of a sudden, it's unfair. I want one too!  :'( What these people fail to realize is...

They're only adults by age, my friend. Everything else screams 16 year-old girl. I will be very careful and, hopefully, as you said, One-eye'd-Willie isn't going to remember me. It's just so damn frustrating to deal with that shit. The worst is seing that they're so willing to abuse every...
