Well... That's a way of getting it... 

It says hidden to me!

I haven't taken a look at my favourite post in the whole forum and when i come back it has like 38 pages!!!!!!!!! 

The last lol cats are so adorable!!!!!!

Oooooh... this sounds like a spyonage movie! I have nothing to say to it because I know nothing about it. But it's quite a change from taxes and pedophilia news from here!

Yeah, and Shania Twain....

.....Why do you keep doing this to the world? 

Shania Twain?? Honey, there is only one thing we blame Canada. And that is Celine Dion! 

This is why I am grateful for our curriculum in our public schools here in Alberta. We learn about the USA, China, Japan, Middle east, and tons more.

Oops, I think i did not explain myself very well. We actually talk a little bit about the whole world in the classes. One of the greatest assets of our Geography studies, is that 10 years afterwards, we are still able to quickly find any country on a map. Ok ok, maybe if you ask something like Tazarquistan we won't find it that quickly... 

The only problem is that in detail we cover only the area I reffered. I can tell you who participated in the 100 years war, who was the liberator of Venezuela, what is Tokugawa, and which families rulled over Prussia. But countries to which we do not have an historical or geographical strong relationship, are left a little bit behind. This includes Canada, New Zeland, most of the arab countries, Corea, etc etc.

Besides, I was in an art school. When I said I did not know that much about Germany or Finland, I meant social and political history. I can telll you all the wonders of the art movements of Germany from the 15th to the 21st century... It's just... well... Canada needs to start an avant guard art movement too!!!!!!!

We do have a nice curriculum in school too. But the key question is: "has the country/ culture been important in our development"?

It was always a diaboli for me!
