  1. Justified is my new favourite series The main actor is Timothy Olyphant, he was in Deadwood and Season 2 & 3 of Damages (another super show) Another main actor is Walton Goggins, he was Shane Vendrell in The Shield (one of the best shows of all time imo) The supporting cast is also very sharp These two actors are amazing in this series as Raylan Givens (U.S Marshall) & Boyd Crowder (Criminal) Its set in Harlan Kentucky, Lexington Kentucky but actually taped in Los Angeles lol, they do their best It is in the 3rd season already Just wanted to mention it, you won't be disappointed
  2. Photoshopped boobs don't do anything for me...and that face...eh, and the sound of her voice..no no no no thank you
  3. History is seen through different angles..depends which angle you're looking at Americans are taught they won the war of 1812, Canadians are taught that the British won the war of 1812 which side is right? it depends on the angle you look at it you could look at it from both angles and declare nobody won or that both countries won but that is a cop out wars are meant to be won or lost not tied I've done enough research on this subject of the South Korean airlines 007 to decide for myself
  4. I don't know, I've never seen her teacher, she wouldn't be in my opinion because she's a religious freak that is a turn off
  5. She's not into the whole Catholic thing, her parents are She's liberal minded and does not like conservatives It's funny how she talks about them
  6. My cousin told me she was discouraged by her teacher not to go on cbc.ca he told her they do not report the truth
  7. Wi-Fi makes it easier to access internet on laptops, my cousin goes to a catholic school and many kids bring in their lap tops to do their work
  8. 4. United States > Pct. population with postsecondary education: 41% > Avg. annual growth rate (1999 – 2009): 1.4% (the lowest) > GDP per capita: $46,588 (4th highest) > Pop. change (2000 – 2009): 8.68% (12th highest) The U.S. experienced a fairly large growth in population from 2000 to 2009. During the period, the population increased 8.68% — the 12th highest among OECD countries. Meanwhile, the rate at which the share of the population with a tertiary education is growing has slowed to an annual rate of 1.4% — the lowest among the 34 OECD countries. Just 71% of funding for educational institutions in the country comes from public funds, placing the U.S. sixth-lowest in this measure. Among OECD countries, the largest share of adults with a tertiary education live in the United States — 25.8%. 3. Japan > Pct. population with postsecondary education: 44% > Avg. annual growth rate (1999 – 2009): 3.2% (10th lowest) > GDP per capita: $33,751 (17th lowest) > Pop. change (2000 – 2009): 0.46% (6th lowest) In Japan, 44% of the adult population has some form of tertiary education. The U.S. by comparison has a rate of 41%. Japan’s population increased just 0.46% between 2000 and 2009, the sixth-slowest growth rate in the OECD, and the slowest among our list of 10. Japan is tied with Finland for the third-highest upper-secondary graduation rate in the world, at 95%. It has the third-highest tertiary graduation rate in the world, but only spends the equivalent of 1.5% of GDP on tertiary education — the 17th lowest rate in the OECD. 2. Israel > Pct. population with postsecondary education: 45% > Avg. annual growth rate (1999 – 2009): N/A > GDP per capita: $28,596 (12th lowest) > Pop. change (2000 – 2009): 19.02% (the highest) Although there is no data on the percentage of Israeli citizens with postsecondary education dating back to 1999, the numbers going back to 2002 show that growth is slowing dramatically compared to other countries. In fact, in 2006, 46% of adults ages 25 to 64 had a tertiary education. In 2007 this number fell to 44%. Only 78% of funds spent on educational institutions in Israel are public funds. The country is also only one of three — the other two being Ireland and Sweden — where expenditure on educational institutions as a proportion of GDP decreased from 2000 to 2008. Israel also had the largest increase in overall population, approximately 19% from 2000 to 2009. 1. Canada > Pct. population with postsecondary education: 50% > Avg. annual growth rate (1999 – 2009): 2.3% (5th lowest) > GDP per capita: $39,070 (10th highest) > Pop. change (2000 – 2009): 9.89% (10th highest) In Canada, 50% of the adult population has completed tertiary education, easily the highest rate in the OECD. Each year, public and private expenditure on education amount to 2.5% of GDP, the fourth-highest rate in the world. Tertiary education spending accounts for 41% of total education spending in the country. In the U.S., the proportion is closer to 37%. In Israel, the rate is 22%. In Canada, nearly 25% of students have an immigrant background.
  9. Interesting..not sure how accurate this is, but Canada is often ranked high.. Finland is 10th but is usually in the top 5..U.S is normally in the teens but is 4th here http://finance.yahoo.com/news/the-10-most-educated-countries-in-the-world.html 10. Finland > Pct. population with postsecondary education: 37% > Avg. annual growth rate (1999 – 2009): 1.8% (3rd lowest) > GDP per capita: $36,585 (14th highest) > Pop. change (2000 – 2009): 3.15% (10th lowest) Finland is a small country relative to the other OECD members. The share of its adult population with some sort of postsecondary education, however, is rather large. This select group is reaching the end of its expansion. From 1999 to 2009, the number of college-educated adults increased only 1.8% annually — the third-smallest amount among all OECD countries. Finland is also one of only two countries, the other being Korea, in which the fields of social sciences, business and law are not the most popular among students. In Finland, new entrants are most likely to study engineering, manufacturing and construction. 9. Australia > Pct. population with postsecondary education: 37% > Avg. annual growth rate (1999 – 2009): 3.3% (11th lowest) > GDP per capita: $40,719 (6th highest) > Pop. change (2000 – 2009): 14.63% (3rd highest) Australia’s population grew 14.63% between 2000 and 2009. This is the third-largest increase among OECD countries. Its tertiary-educated adult population is increasing at the much less impressive annual rate of 3.3%. Australia also spends the sixth-least amount in public funds on education as a percentage of all expenditures. The country also draws large numbers of international students. 8. United Kingdom > Pct. population with postsecondary education: 37% > Avg. annual growth rate (1999 – 2009): 4.0% (9th highest) > GDP per capita: $35,504 (16th highest) > Pop. change (2000 – 2009): 3.47% (13th lowest) Unlike most of the countries with the highest percentage of educated adults, the UK’s educated group increased measurably — more than 4% between 1999 and 2009. Its entire population only grew 3.5% between 2000 and 2009. One aspect that the UK does share with a number of other countries on this list is relatively low public expenditure on education institutions as a percentage of all educational spending. As of 2008, 69.5% of spending came from public sources — the fourth-smallest amount among OECD countries. 7. Norway > Pct. population with postsecondary education: 37% > Avg. annual growth rate (1999 – 2009): N/A > GDP per capita: $56,617 (2nd highest) > Pop. change (2000 – 2009): 7.52% (14th highest) Norway has the third-greatest expenditure on educational institutions as a percentage of GDP, at 7.3%. Roughly 23% of that is spent on tertiary education. In Norway, more than 60% of all tertiary graduates were in a bachelor’s program, well more than the U.S., which is close to the OECD average of 45%. The country is one of the wealthiest in the world. GDP per capita is $56,617, second only to Luxembourg in the OECD. 6. South Korea > Pct. population with postsecondary education: 39% > Avg. annual growth rate (1999 – 2009): 5.3% (5th highest) > GDP per capita: $29,101 (13th lowest) > Pop. change (2000 – 2009): 3.70% (14th lowest) Korea is another standout country for its recent increase in the percentage of its population that has a tertiary education. Graduates increased 5.3% between 1999 and 2009, the fifth-highest among OECD countries. Like the UK, this rate is greater than the country’s recent population growth. Korea is also one of only two countries — the other being Finland — in which the most popular fields of study are not social sciences, business and law. In Korea, new students choose to study education, humanities and arts at the greatest rates. Only 59.6% of expenditures on educational institutions come from public funds — the second-lowest rate. 5. New Zealand > Pct. population with postsecondary education: 40% > Avg. annual growth rate (1999 – 2009): 3.5% (14th lowest) > GDP per capita: $29,871 (14th lowest) > Pop. change (2000 – 2009): 11.88% (8th largest) New Zealand is not a particularly wealthy country. GDP per capita is less than $30,000, and is the 14th lowest in the OECD. However, 40% of the population engages in tertiary education, the fifth-highest rate in the world. The country actually has a rapidly growing population, increasing 11.88% between 2000 and 2009. This was the eighth-largest increase in the OECD. Part of the reason for the high rate of tertiary graduates is the high output from secondary schools. More than 90% of residents graduate from secondary school.
  10. You believe what you believe and I will do the same
  11. You are too trusting of the Catholic Church my friend, yes students can access internet at home but I doubt the Church wants them finding out all of the ugly Catholic Church cover ups @ a Catholic school That would be fitting though
  12. I wonder if McGuinty has the grapefruits to do it..although he is Catholic and his daughter I think goes to a catholic school he seems to be fighting them right now with this anti bully campaign..cause Catholic teachers won't be able to bully Gays anymore and tell them if they don't change they are going to hell
  13. You don't think the union does what they are told by their religious superiors? Yes, I hate man made religion, it has no right being in this world, it is wrong
  14. I know what's cheaper..banning all catholic schools in Ontario
  15. I don't think this is about WIFI being "dangerous" at all. The Catholic Church wants to limit information that the students can access at their schools. This is about their doctrine, not a health concern. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/technology/tech-news/ontario-teachers-union-says-ban-classroom-wifi-cites-health-fears/article2336605/ An Ontario teachers' union is calling for an end to new WiFi setups in the province's 1,400-plus Catholic schools. The Ontario English Catholic Teacher's Association says computers in all new schools should be hardwired instead of setting up wireless networks. It also says WiFi should not be installed in any more classrooms. In a position paper released today, the union – which represents 45,000 teachers – cites research by the World Health Organization. Last year the global health agency warned about a possible link between radiation from wireless devices such as cellphones and cancer. Some believe wireless access to the Internet could pose similar risks. But while Health Canada cautioned parents to limit the use of cellphones by children, it said that based on scientific evidence, low-level exposure to WiFi is not dangerous. The OECTA, in its paper, said the “safety of this technology has not thoroughly been researched and therefore the precautionary principle and prudent avoidance of exposure should be practised.” The Ontario government has said it would examine the WHO warning but wouldn't take any immediate action to require warnings on wireless devices. The province said it's up to school boards in the province to make decisions about whether to use WiFi or not. Some Canadian private schools and at least one public school board in British Columbia have removed or strictly limited WiFi due to safety concerns. But many other public school boards across Canada continue to use it.
  16. That was obvious... GWB couldn't even get a short quote right let alone be a part of a conspiracy this big unless he's goofy and air headed on purpose to throw everyone off kind of like how Clark Kent is a bumbling reporter, knocking into things..but I highly doubt that as well
  17. I prefer going by a Washington Post article than wikipedia http://www.alvinsnyder.com/the_truth_about_korean_airlines_flight_007_8994.htm as for his credibility look at his endorsements http://www.alvinsnyder.com/works.htm
  18. Why would Iran target an embassy in a country like India...India has promised Iran it would not embargo its oil and it would buy more from Iran .. it does not make sense unless it was Mossad trying to turn India against Iran that makes sense
  19. Both Iran & Israel are in covert war against each other it seems but it would not surprise me if Mossad were the ones bombing the Israeli embassies in India & Georgia
  20. It was what kept the cpc as a minority government for 5 years though
  21. from the washington post, right here, this is what happened (read it all) http://www.alvinsnyder.com/the_truth_about_korean_airlines_flight_007_8994.htm
  22. I'm not wrong, my facts are right
  23. Ron Paul will never win so I hope Romney does yes the guy is still a religious nut but hes the least crazy of them all and if elected he probably wont do anything too crazy like bomb Iran its only tough talk to his base Romney could also take votes away from Obama .. hes not a hardcore repub
  24. maybe, yes, i don't know anymore, when the bloc died so did Canada they were the only party keeping cpc from majority
  25. I think Diefenbaker was pissed at the US government for being bossed around it was personal feelings getting in the way of national security
