For anyone that doesn't know the latest developments in the BC Teachers/Govt impasse, and I'm not sure why socialist hasn't enlightened everyone since he seems to be so impassioned about it: the bc govt has imposed a partial lockout and full scale lockouts effective end of june\ rotating strikes will begin monday on behalf of the teachers the government is offering a 7.25 per cent wage increase over six years, while the province has said the teachers want 15.9 per cent over four years. The employers' association has announced a partial lockout, including a 10 per cent pay cut if teachers follow through with their plans to walk off the job. The lockout will also force high school teachers to stay home for three days and elementary teachers to be off work for one day.

Socialist, you keep spouting off about neo-liberals. Can't you just be real and talk about the real issues with this fight between the government and the teachers in BC. I am very concerned about it but your 'neo liberal' labels really doesn't add to the conversation. Can you add some substance other than 'neo liberals hurting public education'. Come up with something more substantial to add to your argument. I do business with the elementary schools in the lower mainland and I do sympathize with the teachers. They are not greedy and they are concerned for the welfare of their students. This is their life and what they get up everyday for. Much like anyone else in their chosen profession. It is not all about money.

I think I mentioned this some time ago as well.

Jaycee makes a joke about men fathering babies and my, look at the reaction! Porn, responsibility.....

Do you have anything to back this up? This is absolutely ludicrous!

Do you ever think for yourself?

I apologize for drawing you out but you initiated this thread and I want to know your opinion on this matter.

What are your thoughts on this matter big guy? I am interested in what you think. This is an opinion post. Tell us what you think?

alight then.

I don't get your jokes.

It is such a silly argument. Women are in control of their bodies! Let's leave it at that!!!!

I sometimes forget which topic I am discussing because this topic repeatedly comes up. Can we not get beyond this and allow women their appropriate rights?

I agree!!!!

If it's troll, why do you encourage it? We are all fighting to encourage superior posts, why on earth would you encourage these disgraceful posts.this goes to you too ogft.

It's not about Jesus. If you believe that, than you missed the families point.

I don't think you read all the supporting material regarding her case. I did. And I stand by my opinion. Let's leave it up to the family. I do surprise my statements from time to time, but this time, I am sticking to my beliefs.

When you try to intertwine a man killing his 13 year old daughter with abortion, that is where hysterics begin.

You are right about this point IMO. And as mentioned above, she is in remission. If the cancer does come back, they may very well decide to continue chemo once the girl and her parents have regained their strength and can look at this from a more emotionally healthy base from which to make decisions.

That was very good!

Maybe so, I don't really know. Neither do you.

I actually only thought of the girl's suffering and her parents. Her culture etc never entered my mind. I am speaking as a mother.

But he is quick to report and ignore when it undermines his responses.

It is complicated. I once thought it was black and white but I don't think so anymore. But, that is my opinion.

I don't really know what you are referring to in your comment above but if you are referring to Robert Picton, you don't have to look far to see how the Vancouver Police failed the aboriginal women. and their policing efforts.
