It probably has something to do with your name being "assume nothing" but you assume things all the time, lol. No no no he just infers, it's different :rolleyes: Anyway...I do think that the future of science lies in microbiology, and wouldn't be surprised to see this kind of thing becoming commonplace at some point (disregarding whether or not that's actually a good thing).

weeds gonna weed Seriously, they grow all over the place in my sad little sandy, clay-filled spec of garden, and everything else dies.

@Gradeskip: Bit of a strong statement to say that no student lost their semester. I'm sure a lot of students have suffered in terms of marks by not being able to attend all their classes... As for bill 78: I agree in that it's unconstitutional, but if the protests hadn't become violent in the first place it never would have been necessary.

Curious to see what DET does...huge loss.

Break even when the debt increases by 10 billion a year? Good plan. That definitely sounds like a sustainable long-term solution. The debt has enormous relevance to university subsidy. The government doesn't need money specifically from students, they need money, period. And when there's an area in which your spending has been far too high, it's fiscally prudent to try to curb that...hence the tuition increase. Don't get me wrong - the tuition increase will not fix Quebec's debt problem. But it's one of many things that need be done.

I don't mind the government subsidizing private education - I think it's beneficial for society. But the fact is that quebec has already been subsidizing it far too much and simply can't afford to continue doing it.

Shouldn't you be outraged that you're paying 35k/year rather than hating on people who pay less? The Quebec students are fighting hard for every inch, they've been going at it for months and not giving in. If the gov had their way the prices would be higher but they know they can't [bleep] with the students - they'd never let them get away with it. While students in other countries have bent over to paying ridiculous prices and are being trapped in an endless wheel of debt. You're the ones that should be up in arms doing something but you're not. If anything there's a lesson about spirit to be taken away from this. Maybe if you got angry a little more often you would actually change something. I guess you missed my post about the government being 250 billion in debt? Really, it's a choice for the students. Pay more now and continue to get some subsidy, or continue to be over-subsidized until the government goes bankrupt and stops subsidizing completely.

If you feed a wild animal, it won't walk away happy, it will pester you for more. Basically what we're seeing here.

Oh, and Quebec's provincial government debt is a paltry 250 billion dollars, so they definitely have room to be continuing their ridiculous over-subsidizing of post-secondary education :rolleyes:

You can't judge AT ALL without being from here. Your paragraph almost really made me facepalm, it's all just so wrong... Anonymous may not be doing things that are "right", but they have a noble, legit and a great goal behind this. It's just ANOTHER way to put pressure on the corrupted Government (which you can't comment on since you don't know anything about it)... Sorry Dan, for all the respect I have for you, I have to tell you that you don't live and haven't been affected by everything that has been going on in Québec for the last 3½ months! The issues here are FAR bigger than just the students protest against the tuition hikes or the Bill 78, trust me. It'd take me hours to write as much as I'd like to here, but I won't since nobody would read it anyway. Please just don't comment when you have no idea of everything that's been and is still going on... So what exactly are these issues? What is this "great and noble cause"? Reeks to me of first world entitlement and always has.

Great quote in your sig btw :P

This is not facebook. Nor is the relationship advice thread. But seriously

Doubt it. I imagine people with a healthy weight are more likely to post about it and post pictures.

Not sure if I posted before, but I'm reading On The Origin of Species. Interesting, but extremely dry.

Awesome, congrats!

RPG YOU MUST EAT MORE IMMEDIATELY [/grandmother] I'm 6'1", 150...

Yeah I don't see what the big deal is with nutella. It's okay, but nothing special.

Saw John Carter. It had its moments. 5.5/10, about what I was expecting.

Definitely first time 8 seed, not sure about 6th.

Most people here are also teenagers. I think a lot of the advice here is telling teenagers to act like adults which isn't that effective. TEENS GONNA TEEN

jersey/LA final, just like everyone predicted :P

Marlies beat Barons 3-1, 5 games...facing Norfolk in the final. Should be a hell of a series.

You get the professor speks I think. I use the original every now and then. I prefer my strange RL though.

Yep.
