Secularism on the rise in Canada as faith in religious figures falls

Huronia · 1 month

I grew up in a small town in Manitoba where nearly everyone was quite religious but once I moved to Winnipeg, I found that many people there were not religious at all. I understand that the survey in the article points out that Manitoba and Saskatchewan are the most religious but I would be surprised if Winnipeg was just as religious as the rest of the prairies.

Pretty similar to the people in this video.

I'm from Manitoba and my first language is French which I speak fluently. However, I don't speak it with a Québécois or French (France) accent and because of this, Québecers will often answer me in English.

I personally wish that the people who answer back in English would realize that there are French Canadians outside of Québec.

It's pretty neat but rather inaccurate. I zoomed out as far as I could to the size of the known universe and I still couldn't see Your Mom.

I just had a bunch of people over and we were all wondering WTF the people upstairs we were doing and I told them that this was a regular Saturday night. I was putting chairs away at the time as well and I didn't notice any of them reproducing (as far as I can tell...).

Unfortunately those are my friend's speakers but if he shows up with them, and the douchebags upstairs are running around and jumping late at night, they're in for a night of 90s pop. Any suggestions?

Between songs, a friend went outside and he could hear the douchebags upstairs being all like "What the fuck is this shit?" so yeah, they could hear it. The speakers also have pretty good bass, which is funny considering it was used for songs like Friday that night. :P

We started with some Nickelback (LOOK AT THIS PHOTO-GRAPH), then went on with Justin Bieber's Baby, then Barbie Girl and ended with Rebecca Black's masterwork Friday. All songs got progressively louder.

Oh, I remember Tower of Power from my Halo 2 days in my teens! If you were the lucky one holding the turret, you'd constantly hear that announcer chime out "Double Kill, Triple Kill" and all that.

What's British Bulldog?

Hehe, I must say I didn't know that.

Check out A Very Long Engagement by Jeunet (director of Amélie and The City of Lost Children). Jodie Foster does her entire performance in French in this one.

Back when 1 vs. 100 was on XBox Live, my friend had his avatar to look exactly like Conan O'Brien. He played a round and ended up being on of the top three players that round and got awarded an Xbox Live Arcade game. Chris Cashman, the live host, made the comment that "One of our rounds top three winners is Conan O'Brien." He was pretty pumped about that.

Everything was going alright so far when we said what we were thankful for, then suddenly Dad flips out on me and my sister for not saying we were thankful for him. This guy from our church who helped build houses with us was there and I'm so glad he stayed after things escalated.

I refused to say I was thankful for my Dad, then after my Mom tried to apologize for me, my Dad just called her the c-word! I had enough and stormed off to the living room and yelled how my Dad was just a huge faker and how's he just killing us with his abuse and how he's treating my teen sister like a prisoner in our house. I smashed up his trophies and an urn, then Kyle (the guest with us) takes his belt and shouts to my Dad to get the fuck off of me after he was trying to hurt me.

My Dad got dragged off to the kitchen, then my Mom later told me when she went to see what was going on, apparently Kyle had a knife at my Dad's neck.

Worst Thanksgiving ever!

In an episode of Penn & Teller's Bullshit!, they mentioned a study where the only downside to having gay parents (while being statistically compared to children with heterosexual parents) was that the children were more prone to homophobic bullying. Oh, the irony.

The very common Nokia ringtone is from a song composed for solo guitar, Gran Vals by Fransisco Tàrrega. The jingle starts at 0:15. Here's the Wikipedia article for the song.

Prisencolinensinainciusol by Adriano Celentano

It's a song by an Italian artist who chose lyrics (all of it are gibberish) that sounded like English words spoken with an American accent. When you're listening to it without paying complete attention, it really sounds like they're singing in English when it's really clever combinations of syllables to make it sound as such.
