being single is a normal thing here. Many People just live their lives, have casual sex here and there. Buy a cat and/or dog. Etc

Also many of those in relationships are practicing Ethical non-monogamy

njambert:
Good points.
You forgot mentioning one of the top 3 reasons which is providing Religious instruction.

One of the reasons people don't go the homeschooling route is fear that they are incompetent to do it, whereas lots of teachers I know who became homeschoolers rather say the fact that they were teachers was rather a hurdle than an attribute to them in homeschooling.

Sacrificing your career to homeschool one or two kids is not living. It will adversely affect the economy. A teacher teaches up to fifty kids or more a day in different classes and if it is a class teacher, it can be twenty permanently, if a high school teacher, it needs specialization and one teacher will teach several classes a day. Therefore a parent teaching only one kid is a drain on the economy, a waste of human resources. What are you afraid of?. A child needs also to mix with other kids in a community of kids as it is part of growth and development and no one parent can teach all high school subjects efficiently especially in the sciences but also others. There is nothing bad in day school. Let your kid go and return everyday since you pay tax too and if there is a good boarding school it is also okay since it is a community too and whatever is agreed to be taught to kids by the majority should be acceptable because majority carries the vote

80% of women on dating apps are only interested in about 15% of men. They swiped the same men. So one man is dating 4 women. Why are they surprised 🤣🤣

Hi everyone.
I will be travelling to Canada very soon on a PR Visa and I am thinking of booking Qatar since it's the cheapest/affordable I can get at the moment. My concern is the layover in the US, I want to be sure if a transit visa will be required or not. Did anyone fly Qatar recently with layover in the US?
Thanks.

ExcellencyFSA:


Hi everyone, so I got another Qatar ticket that will land in Montreal Trudeau (not yet paid). Has anyone taken this route before? Any condition attached to landing in Quebec first? Will the layover time in Montreal Trudeau be enough for all the necessary Port of Entry documentation?
Thanks.

amdman:


The route is good. Layover of 4hrs is reasonable and sufficient. Landing in Quebec is same as landing in Pearson.

njambert:
Lawani, you are looking at it from a purely economical perspective(which is even erroneous economics IMO), and I look at it from primarily a biblical perspective.I'm a huge proponent of biblical economics, and in biblical economics women don't have to be at the workplace but true homemakers in every sense of the word.Our decisions aren't only self gratifying motivated decisions, but kingdom-minded decisions.This world isn't my home.

NuCypher:

While I support your decision and think your initial foundations for it make some sense, I think you are carrying with you too much expectation. Homeschooling a child does not guarantee that they are absolutely going to toe your so-called biblical line of reasoning. You should be taking care to not indoctrinate the child and actually make him/her develop core critical thinking skills to enable them perform handsomely well in the future. I fear you are full of too much expectation in thinking that you are absolutely going to dewean the child from some of society's base ideas, and I fear that you will fail at this. Firstly, you are in Canada, not Nigeria. Your kid is ultimately going to grow up in an environment where critical thinking is encouraged, and with the combination of nature and nurture there's no escaping what the future may hold. It's good to have expectations, but it's also healthy to temper them with the realities of your society, because when it hits, it hits. No go suffer heart attack asking yourself where you got it wrong, when in fact you never got it wrong.

NuCypher:


It's not your business if he chooses home schooling. Many kids have been successfully homeschooled without any issues in their future or their career. In fact, he's better off with that choice. What's grossly improper is for you to think you have an opinion on the subject

njambert:
At the start of this discussion,I wrote this;

"If you are considering homeschool,I highly encourage you.Though it is no guarantee that our children would turn out upright, but it gives us greater chances to mould our children in the ways of the Lord,and we hang unto the promise that if we train our children in the way they should grow,they would not depart from it"

So yes,there isn't any absolute guarantees,same way there's no guarantee that hardwork will lead to success, but we all know in perspective that hardwork leads to greater chances of success.This is same with homeschooling.Actually,our decision to homeschool wasn't made as a consequence of our move to Canada, but this is what we were going to do regardless of whether we were in back home or here.There's alot of evil equally going on in our schools back home,and our children need shielding everywhere.

lawani:

Why is it not my business?. I only gave honest advise and you are anmidiotbfor saying I should not have an opinion. A mental case

Take it easy.We can have a civil discussion and even disagree without insults.

You demonstrated that such was not included in your home training

You confused him with NuCypher.

Wow no idea where this is coming from.But okay.

You replied for Nucypher and I mistook you for the individual but I have edited the response. Sorry about that.

Renting out a basement for 2000 dollars in Calgary where the average rent for main floor is between 1400 and 1900 is crazy. You know nobody who's already here for more than 6 months would rent that despite the very crazy rental market. You just want to take advantage of new immigrants because you know they are the only one who would rent that and I like the fact that you kuku just focus on them , forgetting that you were one

He no concern me sha to each his own

With the current interest rate? And furnished? Probably all inclusive? This is a great deal!!!

Do you know what utilities cost these days? The other day we paid $640 for gas, water and electricity - and it’s not winter yet. Last winter our enmax bill went up to $1050.

So before you comment about someone trying to rip people off, think again!!!

Check out how much property taxes are now.
Research current interest rates
Confirm rate of utilities

Then come back and apologize to poster.
