Toronto Public School Has No Balls!

[Selene]

Toronto's Earl Beatty Public School took an extreme approach to a minor injury by banning students from playing with hard balls earlier this week.

The ban was placed by school administrators after a parent suffered a concussion after being hit in the head by a soccer ball.

"Any balls brought will be confiscated and may be retrieved by parents from the office," a statement obtained by CTV said. "The only kind of ball allowed will be nerf balls or sponge balls."

In a companion announcement, the school will be terminating its geometry program explaining that the points on the triangles are too dangerous and could put our an eye.

All other programs are being reviewed for any pointy thingies.

It is an education--if they have any brains.

Delighted at the progressive actions at Earl Beatty. My classroom is in the basement and the book locker is in the gym, going back and forth to it I am frequently hit in the head by basketballs thrown with force by large men. I shall be actively pursuing a Zero Balls Tolerance agenda for anywhere (not just schools) I go or ever might happen to go. Tragedies can be averted, if we all work together.

On the upside, my wrist shot has improved considerably.

Ah, the perfect gender feminist agenda:

a zero balls policy

Yes, a nation of subserviant eunichs will make these malecreants ecstaticly happy until the hordes of barbarians start closing in, but then there will be no one with the courage to stand a watch and keep them able to be free to be the lunatics they are!

wondering who will teach these idiots how to duck

Rex Murphy on the ball ban...I gather Canadians know who this is and listen to him...

Here writes an obvious product of private or self education. ) Not the misspellings (malecreants is clearly deliberate and very good) but the fact that you failed to successfully feign bad spelling through overconfidence. You used the correct horde.

Wherever the balls are in the public education system here, there are plenty in our national symphony orchestra, as they proved on Thursday when, as an NAC spokesman told media, "They will be performing with their scores but without their clothes."

I told you the Canadian classical music scene is world class. These dedicated cultural warriors are intrepid in bringing Rimsky- Korsakoff and Borodin to the length and breadth of our country. In this case Charlottetown, PEI. I wonder if the women's champion field hockey team were in the audience.

Beware of the Horde

This article is about the recent history and current state of the Horde. For its past, see History of the Horde.

The Horde is one of the two major political factions of the mortal races in Azeroth, its counterpart being the Alliance. The Horde, a faction led by off-worlders and composed of outsiders has survived these obstacles by making allies with few of the native races of Azeroth or even uneasy allies^[2]. Although its ideals, policies, and beliefs have been revised and membership has changed over time, it is the same Horde inherited by Thrall through Warchief Orgrim Doomhammer.^[3]. However, since the mantle of Warchief was passed on to Garrosh Hellscream, the Horde's alliance with other races has began to suffer heavily due to Garrosh's warmongering. A direct example of this are the Troll's under Vol'jin leaving Orgrimmar because of Garrosh's hunger for war and Sylvanas Windrunner ignoring the warchiefs commands and using her plague on her enemies.

De Trolls...De Trolls...De plane...De plane

Kinda reminds me of the Democratic party in a lot of ways.

Sorry, guys. There is a God.

That's interesting, does it play in German from where you are? It's in English from where I'm at.

Anyway, I don't really speak German, or, I could say I speak tourist grade German, since I've gone there 4 times and can quote Wotan to just about any purpose (provided that purpose is to earn me an odd look from the natives). All told, I'm confident that I speak German at least as well as Phil speaks French. Grüß Gott!

Yes it is German for me, interesting.

Localized internet is often very annoying.
