More interesting-ness: Oakwood Collegiate may not house Africentric school after all, board says About the school specifically... I wonder if the "media reports" was the Star story this morning or some reporter going around the neighbourhood asking, "Hey, did you hear...?"

No you misunderstood my post. What I would like you to do is refute Graham Hancock, that I linked from a wikipedia article, based on your understanding of science. If you lack the ability, just say so. A Statistical Method for Empirical Testing of Competing Theories Specifically, since the issue here is within the realm of Anthropology: Using distance matrices to choose between competing theories and an application to the origin of modern humans Hopefully the folks that put the above article together have enough credentials to convince you that there are indeed competing theories in science - especially so in anthropology. Competing models, hypothesis' and theories. But as a true scientist I expect you to do your own googling and not be settled in on any one thing from wikipedia or *gasp* "Science Direct." Multiregional origin of modern humans Whoops! This is wikipedia too. But since this isn't university, it is allowable.

No worse than some others on other topics. In this case, it generates some discussion, which I suppose, is within bounds. Also? Oleg can be hilarious.

It was an Afrocentric grade school which has been in the news a-plenty. This is the high school version.

Well, it's a godo thing the righties didn't step in it then isn't it? I'm sure everyone will understand.

This just in! This just in! The Conservatives have just admitted that the 'Contempt of Parliament' was actually - and they have plenty of YourTube videos to show for is - actually 'Uncooperation of Parliament."

(With apologies to Cheech and Chong) Cheech: Hey man, what does that look like to you man? Chong: It looks like a coalition man. Cheech: Hey man, what does it smell like? Chong: Aw, smells like a coalition man. Cheech: Oh, feel it man, what does it feel like? Chong: {brief pause} Aw man, it feels like a coalition too. Cheech: Oh man, what does it TASTE like man? Chong: {sounds of smacking lips like someone is eating} Aw, it TASTES like a coalition man. Cheech: 'Looks like a coalition, smells like a coalition, feels like a coalition, tastes like a coalition. Must be a coalition. Good thing we didn't step in it!"

All things considered, thus far in the campaign, "Who cares what Harper did or signed in 2004?" is the dumbest question of them all since we now have a whole slew of CPC Coalition Deniers trying to distance themselves from the embarassment of having to deal with a leader who blithely accuses his opponent of doing something he himself has considered in 2004. I am not making an issue of the idea of a coalition, Harper did. I am merely having fun with it. You should too. Maybe relax a little.

I think that is fair. So what IS an scientifically acceptable source and do those sources suffer any sort of defects at all? How about Graham Hancock and his Antarctic theories for a white mother race. Does this count? So this notion completely destroys the idea of 'competing theories' then? One would think that scientific theory has a development before it is accepted as to be true for the purposes of developing further understanding using that theory. Which is a good thing to state since it commits you to revising your position immediately when the use of mtDNA comes into question right? One would think that your rigorous defence of the utility of mtDNA would also compel you to rigorously explore ways in which this utility could be damaging. Cite please. And don't use wikipedia. And list all competing theories too, for the purposes of being rigorously honest. Cite please, a legitimate scientific cite. Don't use wikipedia and also provide any competing theories in your response.

No Android? They can piss off. Still beholden to 'the man' eh Jackie Boy? :angry: But anyways, if it is done right, it can reach the young voters. If it is done crappy on a crappy platform that looks shitty and crawls, the young people will stay away. Offer free Netflix and xBox Bandwidth and they will come. On the other hand, in the last municipal election, our former Mayor did the 'green' thing and stayed away from littering the city with his campaign signs and tried a Facebook campaign. I did say former Mayor right?

Which raises another question that the pinko-press should be asking: "Mr. Harper, if your party fails to win a majority, will you be forming a coalition with the Bloc like you wanted to in 2004?" I think the CPC and the Bloc are a natural fit to form a coalition. They both have contempt for Canada...

Well at least we know he isn't fascist since they tend to make 1,000 year plans. Whew!

And you come here to improve your life. First Nations better negotiate contract than you. Wouldn't that piss you off? Did already. Go back and read. Yet European racists still exist. Hitler Youth Posse Zundel lovers.

Interesting story from the Star that reports on the continuation of the concept of the 'Africentric' school into Oakwood Collegiate. Non-black students may boycott Africentric school, students warn Is this a sort of benevolent segregation? I am not convinced that birds-of-a-feather concept is the ideal way to get students in a target visible minority group to improve their group school results. There is nothing stopping any culture group from forming their own private schools, but will benevolent segregation (if Ic an call it that) be the answer?

It's still early son. The way these cons are working, it might be a liberal strategy to simply let them expose themselves on national TV. Or plant a few "liberal media" reporters in every Harper news conference and ask about the C-words.

Like Don Cherry's speech at the swearing in of Rob Ford you mean? Not "politically partisan" at all right?

Yeah, don't stop at Trudeau or Chretien - how about that bastard Sir Wilfred "We will stay out of South Africa" Laurier? Or that sleezy Louis "We will stay out of Newfoundland" St. Laurent? But why stop there? Let's talk about that goddamn John Stuart Mill!

Pretty soon Saipan will start to ask for the video too.

Not any more than you snuggle yourself with the likes of European racists. One far better than the shit-hole you fled with tail between legs. Go back read. Zundel paid taxes too - another European racist. He not eat tax free squirrels and possum like you though.

I didn't come from a shit-hole country that breed proud Nazi posse like yours. Some made friends with Hitler, others made his bombs for racist war. You give nothing but whining and bellyaching.

On the smaller scale Canadians call it an "affair." Like the 'Somalia Affair' a mere 8 years ago. WARNING - GRAPHIC PHOTO: Somalia Affair

You're free to ask stupid ones. Go back and read. Any fool can criticize, condemn and complain and most fools do. - Benjamin Franklin Advertisements contain the only truths to be relied on in a newspaper. - Thomas Jefferson Except armed slaves. Anyone catch squirrels. Try possum or racoon.

How isn't that corruption? Why, when you are socially conservative it is mere unfortunate necessity. It will all feel better in the morning, you wait and see. Besides, it was just a little 'contempt' anyways and all so political. Those politicians and their shenanigans.
