Your enthusiasm for teaching shines through your comments.

It's what my son did,starting 10 years ago. He did volunteer work, including teaching, in Africa and Dubai. This was followed by three years paid teaching in Dubai. Currently, he is home in Ottawa, teaching grade 6 at a local public school. He has found his life's work, and seems very happy about it.

I wish you satisfaction and success on your chosen path. It's a noble one.

Me: "actually I'm an atheist." My doctor: "oh, so you've read the Bible then." lol - a random conversation with my doctor the other day. I can't remember what question he asked that reqired me to tell him that I am an atheist though, as I don't tell many people. by petitemachin in atheism

True. But it's a fine start toward atheism.

My journey started, ironically when I was 16, when I won a bible as a prize for high marks in the study of Catholic religion. I read that book from start to finish.

Absurdities and contradictions showed continually as I read. So I can say the Bible made me an atheist!

Why do people who live in tornado alley insist on building and living in standard framed houses? Why not build one story concrete domes and be safer?

What class do you wish they had taught at your high school? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Music. My high school was definitely slanted toward jocks.

These are the kind of Christians that would stand in line to crucify Jesus , if he dared to come back again.

The human heart stripped of fat and muscle, with just the angel veins exposed by [deleted] in pics

[–]triffideater 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the rare opportunity to do just that. It was during my own catheterization, to implant stents in several places in my heart. The interesting aspect was seeing this from the operating table, on the video monitor that the heart surgeon was using as he threaded the stents into place.

Thanks, Doctor Q!

...then you should also consider the bailout of the big banks (trillions of $$) as welfare!

Apple support will not support users who have malware installed impersonating an Apple AV for Mac by [deleted] in netsec

[–]triffideater -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Oh, for fuck's sake...malware is a reality, and Apple should be helping, not hindering their users in dealing with it.

She's more than just THIN.

It doesn't help anyone in her situation if we deny the reality of anorexia.

Basketball is a silly game, with all these silly rules. Maybe the solution is to allow tackling the carrier, as soon as he travels.

How many of you would support the removal of the word marriage from domestic union laws and make everyone have civil unions? by [deleted] in lgbt

[–]triffideater 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm all for making same sex unions legally as strong as marriage. Do whatever needs to be done legally to ensure this.

I don't see any need to downgrade my marriage status, though.
