Disillusioned

So its okay to bash people who are naturally thin, despite their best attempts to gain weight, but its wrong to bash people who are fat from over eating and lack of exercise? Any woman who is thin has an eating disorder? Or is depressed? Or on crack? That isnt a generalization based on nothing more than jealousy ? Which it is IMO Therefore one can only conclude the only "acceptable" look for a women is to over weight, not thin and pleasining plump? All the women in my extended and immediate family are naturally tall and thin and I for one am tired of fat women seeing nothing wrong with making rude remarks to our faces, whereas if we dared to say to them "you're too fat, do you have an eating disorder?" they would be outraged and screaming in rage at being "insulted". Doesnt seem PC to me to judge a group of people based on their appearance.

Ok once more, from the top, for those of you who are just a tad slow on assimilating information: Canadian International Highschools overseas: in this case BC international schools as an example, Grand Canadian Academy, Sino Bright, Mapleleaf Internaitonal schools, etc 1. The BC Board of Education licenses overseas schools which are considered to be LEGITIMATE BC HIGH SCHOOLS 2. These schools which are privately owned by business people and run as private schools are given the right by the BC Govt to award the BC DOGWOOD DIPLOMA to overseas students. 3. These schools employ teachers who are licensed within the BC SCHOOL SYSTEM and have taught within the BC school system or are teachers on leave for a year or two from BC in order to travel overseas and experience another culture 4. These teachers have degrees, they have teaching certificates, they are CANADIAN TEACHERS 5. These teachers are NOT in the same class as a high school graduate who heads to Asia to teach ESL without a clue what they are getting into. The LICENSING of these schools is monotered and authorized by the BC Board of Education and the BC Government. The Vancouver Sun has done a number of articles about these schools questioning the ethics of the Licensing Board and the "selling" of the Dogwood diplomas to wealthy Asian students. Is THAT clear enough for all of you to understand? Or are you still stuck on the term "Private School?" Canadian teachers are being forced to work, think, act and behave like clones. This is NOT the way the BC curriculum is supposed to be or should be taught is the point Live from China is trying to make. THIS IS WRONG and the BC govt is responsible for supporting this type of misconduct. And profiting from it, at the expense of Canadian teachers overseas.

Oh yah have you thought about this? If those environmental goons stop everyone from working in Canada who the hell is going to be funding their welfare payments for them?

Greenpeace, Sierra Club etc ALL funded by American companies, paid terrorists to create problems for Canadian companies in competition with American companies. Call me crazy but before I jump on a band wagon PC, hugger, indian wannabe or whatever I tend to want to do some reasearch and find out WHO and WHAT is really behind it and how VALID their actions are. "Nuff said? Look what these American stooges did for the BC lumber industry. A little knowledge, a little research goes a long way to prevent you from looking like one more dumb uninformed sheep chanting popular BS

How sad is it that I checked this forum out back in about 2002 and find the same level of ignorance, self interest and moronic jerks are still posting here. Live from China why waste your time on these left wing drugged out exe hippies and indians and huggers? If they all got together they couldnt form on solid brain among all of them. The collective intelligence on the forum is equal to that of an alcoholic gnat. They are too dumb to even understand what you are saying. NO the Board of Education should not be in the business of selling licenses to privates owned schools in China that are big business that exploit and abuse Canadian teachers, and said teachers should not be forced or intimidated into being classroom clones aka drones for the Nzai Chinese Government. Its a process of promotion and servitude as well as privilege that begins with retired Canadian Principals landing 6 figure jobs in China, members of the licensing boards being bribed by the Chinese business men with holidays, persk and eventually brown nosing their way into a Superintendent postion with a private school they previously issued the licensing for. Campbell has been implicated in their bribery as have a mutlitude of other political hacks. The BC news media is doing its best to investigate just how crooked the licensing board and practises of the BC Dept of Education really is. As one person said Chinese students graduating with a BC Dogwood dilpoma who cant speak, read or write English. This stinks to high heaven. But this is not the forum to ask an intelligent question on, all you will get is a bunch of drooling idiots responding with complete asanine nonsense.
