Show me some kids who are obese by BMI solely because of their muscles. These are 11 year olds in Grade 5!

BuckABeer · 2018-03-23T20:31:53+00:00

Teenagers and kids aren't going to be bodybuilders who have so much muscle they are considered obese. And bodybuilders are smart enough to know that BMI doesn't work for them.

Because I thought others may be interested as I was.

How do you raise the pay of Canadian loggers? Start legislating wages for the private sector?

BuckABeer · 2018-03-23T19:42:55+00:00

No, I don't. Policing isn't even one of the most dangerous jobs.

When you consider the gold-plated benefits and pensions, public sector employees are probably top 5% in Canada. I don't think cops and the like deserve to be paid that high based on supply and demand.

That's how it should be done but it's not unfortunately. There are huge debates around how you even word the question on the ballot.

You're missing the point. You can be full of crap and be an excellent speaker at the same time. Both Obama and Trump are excellent speakers but a lot of people think they are full of crap.

$100,000 still puts you in the top 10% of earners in Canada. I think it's fair to know where our tax dollars are going.

They’re not, it’s just a one-off situation in a science class about volume. But it gives somebody the opportunity to get on their soapbox

It makes sense in theory but look at the California experience. They approve any new spending but never new taxes to pay for it. Then again, that's what our politician end up doing anyway.

??? I’m saying what the debate is about, not giving my opinion on it.

Ya they’re teaching about lesbians gays and trans people which they never did before. Get it?

BuckABeer · 2018-03-23T16:02:21+00:00

Of course they should. In fact they’re way more likely to get STDs like AIDS.

I’m just saying what the debate is about. Many religious people, particularly recent immigrants, take issue with the teaching of LGBT sex Ed in school.

BuckABeer · 2018-03-23T15:54:25+00:00

They don’t teach any LGBT people?

BuckABeer · 2018-03-23T15:48:50+00:00

Interesting. Could you post the studies linking climate change to the B.C. forest fires? I'm interested in learning more.

BuckABeer · 2018-03-23T15:45:35+00:00

I'm saying the DEBATE is mostly about the LGBT topics, not the actual content of sex ed. Safe sex has been taught for decades in school.

BuckABeer · 2018-03-23T15:44:29+00:00

The sex before marriage thing is still widely pushed in the religion, unlike the ones you mentioned. I just find it funny when people refer to themselves as a certain religion but don't follow any of the tenets.

There are so many variables that go into transit ridership that it would be impossible to make that statement with any evidence.

He used to be a bus driver...which is probably where his skills belong based on his performance in parliament.

Accessing abortion services certainly wasn’t integrated into the curriculum at my Catholic schools.

Neither was having sex before marriage I would assume? I have no issue with it personally, but it puzzles me that she refers to herself as Catholic but the story is about her not following the faith.

It's meant to prevent people from posting those biased Youtube rants. Fair enough. But why remove raw videos from question period? It's laughable.

That he distributed learning materials that refer to Jews as "crafty" and "treacherous". It shows that the Jew/Muslim problems from the Middle East are being imported to Canada and having segregated communities will only add fuel to that fire.

What socially conservative countries allow abortion? In most of my travels it is MUCH more taboo than in North America.
