I opened up the paper this morning to read a complete waste of space on the second page. The headline read "Obese girls and boys bullied more often, research finds". I'd like to thank The Globe And Mail, which is usually a very good newspaper, for bringing me this absurd article. What research was this? I could have done this "research" myself, in the playground, when I was five years old. Everyone knows this. Even though it is wrong, it is a fact of young life that everyone is aware of - fat kids get picked on. Why does the newspaper have to tell us about it? And moreover, why are people spending money on research like this? Instead, they should donate the money to a charity which deals with victims of bullying and abuse.
Well you know how it is Jeff. They needed something to print and, let's face it, bar the war in Iraq, the Middle East peace crisis, the starving millions in the third world, the killer superbug in UK hospitals, the 10 new EU member states... apart from that, there's nothing to report - so they have to fill in the blanks.
I'd have to agree with Jeff on this.
If it was a privately funded study, I wouldn't care that they wasted their time on a lame study like this, but it is more likely our tax money being wasted on it.
