The girl in question has gotten a number of good reviews, not a single bad word that I'm aware of (except anonymous ones like this), and is still strongly recommended whenever someone asks about a SP from her demographic. EDIT: In fairness, I've encountered a number of SPs with what I'd...

Not necessarily. Some of us are happy to pass along positive reviews and recommendations, but less willing to say negative things about a SP if it's simply a matter of personal preference or chemistry, or somebody having a bad day. I'm more than willing to warn other Terbites off of providers...

This has reached epidemic proportions, IMO.

The Church doesn't require that you be perfect. It does require that you make an honest effort... not just shrug your shoulders and say "oh well, nobody's perfect so I can do as I like as long as I confess on Sunday." You don't have a medical condition -- you choose to fuck escorts, and clearly...

De la Salle left because it didn't want to destream and teach sub-Advanced level courses, not because of "government agendas that are contrary to Catholic teaching"... unless you're suggesting that the Church is opposed to educating students below Advanced level. Try again. Ahhh, the...

St. Mike's had a temporary partnership with the old MSSB and was a dual private-public school from the late '60s to the '80s, but it didn't leave the MSSB due to "government agendas that were contrary to Catholic teaching," as devout Catholic and poonchaser VIPhunter suggested upthread.

Both of those have always been private schools, so no.

Really? Can you name one? Nothing amuses me more than seeing people declare their admiration for the Roman Catholic Church on a message board dedicated to the sex trade.

For the record, before anyone trots out the old "you just hate religion/the Church" carnard... if you really feel strongly that Catholic education is worth preserving, and you're not actually in favour of special treatment of one minority at the expense of everyone else, surely you support...

Because the Fathers of Confederation made guarantees of education for religious minorities (i.e. Protestants in Quebec and Roman Catholics in Ontario) a precondition of agreeing to Confederation in the first place. Understandably so, since the pre-Confederation governments (and...

Can someone translate this into English for me, please? Thanks.

I'm not sure how this relates to what we're talking about, unless one of us is supposed to think that these are good. Because we live in Western civilization. Do you mean "justification based on 'it's old so get rid of it' is worse"? Because otherwise I can't make heads or tails of what you're...

The economies of scale are to be found in rationalizing boards (which are expensive), not rationalizing schools.

John Tory got burned on the issue because Dalton McGuinty was patently dishonest about it. When he said "Ontarians don't support a publicly funded school system segregated by faith" he conveniently neglected to mention that his wife was paid (and paid well) to teach in a publicly funded school...

The difference is that you said the only diffference was for French Protestants. They secularized the entire public school system, so it's different for everybody... except in some schools where administrators and teachers are refusing to implement some of the changes. A plain English reading of...

The Nicene Creed predates both the Great Schism and the Protestant Reformation, and not everyone defines "Catholic" as meaning the Church of Rome. FFS, would it kill you people to read a book once in a while?

Western civilization enthusiastically featured both of these for a lot longer than we've been without them... and if you're going to seriously use "it's well established with great longevity and very popular" as justification for continuing something, then the logical conclusion is that you'd be...

So are feudalism and slavery. None of these are a worthwhile foundation for society.

Unfortunately this isn't entirely true. Operating costs for the two systems are funded from the designated taxes; but, capital costs are funded from general revenues, which means that the majority of Ontarians that are not Catholic (and the majority that support abolition, according to recent...

Uhhhh, no. That formula is for calculating the minimum age for a woman in a given relationship, not an equivalency. It means that a 58 year old man shouldn't be dating a woman in her 20s, not that 36 is any sort of "target age" for him. The idea that it's an equivalency is ludicrous.
