I am an advocate of barefeet. I loathe even socks and I for one welcome our bare-footed overlords.

Further proof that we are indeed losing the war on terror. If we were winning, would we have to tolerate these "security measures"?
This is exactly what the terrorist want. We have been forced by our government and a few paranoid individual to live in spoon-fed fear of a terrorist attack.

You make a valid point about the willful blindness of Americans in regards to their own domestic media.
However, the video you linked to could have helped validate your point if it wasn't littered with swears and lack of actual references within the video to sources to allow for people to validate what they are seeing.
That and the video fails to include Wales, which is also a nation that could very well achieve independence. It compared Quebec to others, without realising that Quebec is one of few places with the democratic means of superseding; it just never got enough votes.
Plus then there is the "go back to Europe bit"... the producer of the video has no concept of interracial relations and marriage.
The video is a nice little slice to add to the equation.
I prefer to use Wiki. As it can be edited by ANYONE, it makes for a good source and links to numerous other ones.

It seems straightforward and doesn't omit nasty bits about the west's involvement. But I gather from it that Tibet was only marginally part of China throughout history.
I don't buy what any media outlet is saying. I check different sources. One thing is for sure, never listen to the people who are saying that X-region is part of their nation. Look at Serbia, they're claiming that Kosovo is the cradle of their motherland yet the ethnic Albanians say otherwise. Who do you listen to in that case?

Aw, be nice to the older teachers, they're stuck in the stupid ages still. :)
Arizona students stage hug-a-thon to protest 2-second hug rule detentions

Public school used to actually be fun. These twats have sucked all the fun out. Good on these kids for rebelling against out-of-touch asinine policies.
Besides, what harm does hugging do? Wouldn't life be better if people hugged more?
No friends yet.

Kangaroo court is one way to describe this assault on employee rights. I remember being accused of smoke at work when I never touched a cigarette in my life. What was the basis for it? The assistant manager had it in for me. She then went on to accuse someone else who hadn't even been working that day or the day before. There is no way to prove unless caught, that the person has actually done wrong.
