    Ah man that was serious! Were you the one quoted on CITYTV as saying "The principle can just get down on his two knees and..." well you know what I mean.

    Kid's these days :D

    haha yes yes a few members went overboard including a photo shopped picture of him between Osama and Hitler but that isn't the point! Many innocent students however were suspended to for simply being part of the "group" and saying things like "idiot" , " moron " and "lets start a riot". So of course we feel a little bit of violation here with Freedom of speech, freedom of peaceful assembly yet it is hard to talk to the principle when he is shunning reporters off the property and denying interviews and refusing to deal sensibly with students who bring it up to him.

    Not to sound like an old fart ...I don't think freedom of speech and "let's start a riot" goes well together dude. Think about it? That's a threat don't you think?

    We can't complain. Were getting some serious cold now. But we had it easy for a long while. We are supposed to get a storm tomorrow too. :(

    You were visiting the East side? :D

    Its ok but I can answer it all. The freedom of speech is the first part where people were stating there thoughts, feelings and overview of McMahon. Sure some went overboard but what about the many that didn't and they got just as much if not more days suspension. Those are the ones we are fighting for, not the Personal Electronic devices ban, uniform policy, or those who deserved it as made out by this damn media. If that isn't clear just ask yet again and we can clarify!

    The riot comment. Well no offense but you have to be a complete **** to do that. To suspend 2 students who jokingly of course said, "lets start a riot, ya" is quite the joke itself. So we're using the freedom of peaceful assembly card there of course!

    I am one of the members fighting for the group and I was not suspended or involved in this group but this issue is best said by our student council president, K.S
    "Why are they able to come into my home and persecute me education wise for something I do on my own time at my house"

    all of 14hrs at the airport, we were on the way to the Eastern side of mexico, south of Cancun. A supplier was paying, and still not sure why they had to route us through YYZ. yuck :D

    What is it they do up in the real North? ahh yes, fires under the engine block to keep them from freezing up - not recommended :)

    yoo anu,
    hot pictures of the ride...i do like the last pic the best too, just wait till u slap on those rims!!

    annnddd vasco,
    that was a pretty good video...the 599 looks nicer (to me) everytime i see it..

    and thomas,
    wat happened in ur school is RETARDED, i was the student council president and the vice president (long story) for my last 2 years of highschool, and i heard more than enough slanderish/racial watever comments about all the administration...but thats what kids do, thats how they react to the rules and watever of the school....i hope the principal doesn't think he's setting an example because he's not..

    i've seen so many incidents (when i was in higschool) where my principal kept thinking he'd set the students straight by saying things and bringing up new rules..made no difference..

    What happened to the old days when students would go in and beat up the vice-principle and trash his office? :D True story but it wasnt me. I was a good kid in the back of the school "tunning" my Rabbit GTI! And doing quarter mile passes up the back alley in between classes (*sigh* those were the days) :D

    Hey, I went to Central Technical School. It was rough at times! ;)

    talk about rough times...in my wonderful highschool years, the first month of school 3 guys walked into the cafetieria and stabbed a guy in the neck 2ice...on a different note allgedly a girl got 'raped' in the washroom, there was a walk out, a HUGE drug bust (15 people, about 1.4 million dollars worth of stuff), some kid had "bomb making materials" in his locker, another kid had a hand gun and a machete, undercover police as students (it was wicked, they told me to protect the cops because i was the president, so if i saw anything i'd have to 'report it right away'), a teacher and student affair (good times lol, NOT me hahahaha) and thats all i can remember for now..

    not to mention the street racing (i can take some of that blame) and the principal getting fed up and calling the cops to give all the students parking tickets for parking sideways and taking up 2 spots....one guy started it, everyone else followed...20 people got parking tickets LOL...

    later,

    1.4 Mil? Wow, I had everything else you mention happen at my high school but don't think the money count was as high. :D

    On another note. If anyone here gets an offer to buy a really cheap Porsche Cayenne please keep in mind that it may be the one that was stolen off a dealer's lot yesterday in Etobicoke. It was during the day after leaving the truck running for no more than 2 minutes outside! I know it's a stupid mistake but how many times do we overlook things like this without thinking twice?

    He is a good friend and all I can say is that this REALLY sucks.

    That's exactly what I thought. But I wasnt gonna tell him that. Although im sure he know's.

    But the way it happened seemed like a dude walking buy happened to notice it and took it for a quik joy ride. Hard to think it was planned. There is also alot of riff raff walking along Queensway at any time.

    Personally I predict they will find it. Not sure if she'll be complete though :(

    Nah - T1's fine, the Sheraton was ok, it was the routing I had a problem with. two days to get to Cancun by going through YYZ when there's direct flight's out of YVR was retarded. We were able to change our return flights by going around the travel agent.

    now have to try and pretend to work again...

    Hi Dave
    I haven't been to see Rocco for a few months, we were busy getting house ready to sell (and it is now sold. Now I just want some warmer weather....). Give him a call, he has an amazing set of sources.
    I was exceeding the capability of the 14" tires on the track (which isn't saying much for the tires :) With the 16" rims and Bridgestones, I am again reaching my personal limit instead of the car's limit.

    Get your autographs now,
    " 'We have no idea what's going on and we're asking the principal to explain what happened," Grade 12 student Thomas Keszeg said outside the Old Church Rd. school. He said the principal spoke to the student body about the issue last week, "he voiced it as a bullying issue, but hasn't given a formal explanation.' "
