And how does Kazakhstan's education system, poverty levels, social security system, housing, day care, pension, gender equality, employment opportunities, human rights and freedoms, average life span, arts and cultural programs etc., etc., etc. compare to Canada's?I don't agree that Canada is the best. Not because it doesn't have the potential to be (it does). It stinks because the overwhelming majority are talentless, and they only need to compete in the world stage to see this. When Kazakhstan beats us with our amazing health care system, funding, and quality of life, that's a serious joke.
Big deal. I got my Phd from Miskatonic University home of the fighting Cephalopods [go pods!] in Occult Sciences.have an MBA from Western, and life was one great big rush,
I never worked a day in my life,
I think there were days ,I would have paid the company when I started in Finance
Not necessarily true. As a society we place less emphasis on sports than the U.S. and China and perhaps many other countries. Is that a bad thing? Maybe yes, maybe no.I think that this country has talent, but doesn't invest in it because it's priority is in reliving this delusion that white people in this country are the only voice that matters and are the best.
A very superfluous, over generalization with no substance behind any claims. I ask you the following if you're able to answer:Rockslinger, I respect your points of view even if we disagree on things, which is usually why I don't respond to your posts because I do generally agree with your opinions and points of view because they are intelligent.

I think that this country has talent, but doesn't invest in it because it's priority is in reliving this delusion that white people in this country are the only voice that matters and are the best. Clearly not. Imagine if we applied the same logic to our engineers and math wizzes and said, yeah you're good but you're Indian and thus don't represent the face of Canada (that jackasses in small towns don't want to see) so we won't train you. Meanwhile they'll train some asshole from Peterborough to learn how to canoe. Or some jackass from Belleville to learn how to curl. Then I pay tax dollars to support this type of systemic bullshit. I'm tired of it.
I think there is huge talent in the non white population in Canada, HUGE. but until they start getting recognized and trained and until Canadians start taking pride in them, we will never be a stellar country. One only needs to look at Russell Peters to understand that his success only came when he left for the States, where he blew up because they recognized his talent immediately. Do you have any idea how many super smart Indian and Asian Canadians born and raised in this country are overlooked year after year at every level because of the prejudices of Canada, and replaced by talentless white fools? Do you have any idea of the number of them that are going to the States where they are welcomed and doing amazing things? I know tons.
The U.S. does emphasize sports much more than Canada does. (Not saying whether this is a good or bad thing.) My boss and his brother attended a U.S. Ivy League university on hockey scholarships. The daughter of a friend of one of my co-workers is attending a U.S. university on a cheerleading scholarship. Some of our own Canadian Olympians are currently attending U.S. universities (e.g. the high jumper).There are many white people who made in big in the US and not Canada, not just Russell Peters. Think Justin Bieber, MIchael J. Fox, Mike Myers, Jim Carrey, etc....
Wait a minute, are you saying that our training and coaching is so incompetent that we have to ship them off to the US just to train? Then they comeback and compete with the Americans and lose? Wow. Great system! Another point for me. Canada sucks ass that we need the Americans to help us train our own athletes. Great Job. Now let's reflect on some of the olympics ads posters we saw: Like "My will is better than my will not" ooooo!^^^ I know they do in sports, but my examples were non sports figures as winstar used Russell Peters as an example.
Our best athletes attend US schools due to full subsidies and also the fact of better coaching and training facilities, but they do come back for the olympics. I'm still curious as to who was not included on the team that should have been according to winstar.
Well no, it does.winstar, Christine Sinclair was at the University of Portland, Melissa Tancredi at Notre Dame, Jonelle Filigno is at Rutgers, Diana Matheson at Princeton, etc.... Derek Drouin the high jumper has won 3 NCAA titles, Perdita Felicien went to University of Illinois, and on and on...... Many Canadians went, and many still attend, American Universities on full scholarships while receiving American coaching and they compete against some of the best in the world. This should not come as any surprise to you.
Actually, I think that trampolining takes more skill than say running the 100 metre dash. I ran the 100 yard dash in high school and it was easy. I simply just ran (10.2 seconds for 100 yards).I'd also like to add that if it weren't for the fact that something as retarded as "Trampolining" is now an olympic sport,
That's about 11.05 sec for 100 meters assuming a continuing speed, that's faster than most of the female olympic sprinters, pretty impressive. How old were you? Junior of Senior, could have probably gone to OFSSA with that time.Actually, I think that trampolining takes more skill than say running the 100 metre dash.

Thanks for the compliment. It was my best (I had slower times) in Grade 11. It was only the 3rd best time in my Montreal high school at that time. BTW: I think the word record was 9.2 seconds at that time. Also, when I got to university there were lots of guys who could run under 10 seconds so I retired from competitive racing.That's about 11.05 sec for 100 meters assuming a continuing speed, that's faster than most of the female olympic sprinters, pretty impressive.
What kind of cheeseball timer was being used to record these amazing feats?BTW: I think the word record was 9.2 seconds at that time. Also, when I got to university there were lots of guys who could run under 10 seconds so I retired from competitive racing.

You're confusing yards with meters. His time was 10.2 for 100 yds, which is about 11.05 sec for 100 meters, that's Usain's length, lol. 10.2 for the hundred is pretty good, I ran about 10.5 in high school, wasn't good enough so I went into hurdles, I wiped there, for the city, not Canada, lol.What kind of cheeseball timer was being used to record these amazing feats?
9.2...? Not even close. And, at what time? Bolt's world record is 9.58 seconds. (Donovan Bailey's WR in 1996 was 9.84.)
It would actually be 11.155 seconds per 100meters, and in this game on tenth of a second is a big deal.You're confusing yards with meters. His time was 10.2 for 100 yds, which is about 11.05 sec for 100 meters,...
That's based on a straight mathematical conversion, (100yrds/91.44 meters) x 10.2 sec, but that's not how you calculate equivalency times from 100 yds to 100 meters in sprinting.It would actually be 11.155 seconds per 100meters, and in this game on tenth of a second is a big deal.
Hey Rock, did you know you beat the world record with your 10.2 sec for the 100 yd sprint? That's right, you beat the world record that was set in 1870, lolGuys, who still holds the record for the 100 YARDs? I seem to remember Bob Hayes ran a 9.1.
Damn! I gave away my age. Yes, I ran the 100 yards in high school in 1871. Hee, hee, hee.Hey Rock, did you know you beat the world record with your 10.2 sec for the 100 yd sprint? That's right, you beat the world record that was set in 1870, lol
