[09:13] {nemo} appropriate definition of a contemporary term. This year's term was
[09:13] {nemo} **- "Political Correctness."**
[09:13] {nemo} **The winner wrote:**** "Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a
[09:13] {nemo} delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous
[09:13] {nemo} mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely
[09:13] {nemo} possible to pick up a piece of shit by the clean end."*

[14:05] {Jenh} the pictures are like postcards!
[14:06] {Jenh} and this is just your every day surroundings
[14:06] {Jenh} ?
[14:06] {Jenh} my park seems dingy and stupid now :)
01[14:06] {@Threei}  yes
01[14:06] {@Threei}  this last one is a pier I visit almost daily, it's in a routine walk
[14:07] {Jenh} wow that is really nice
01[14:07] {@Threei}  but don't hate me because my surroundings are beautiful
[14:07] {Jenh} :)
01[14:07] {@Threei}  I paid my dues to live here, really... 10 years in Winnipeg!
[14:09] {Jenh} not familiar with winnipeg but i take it it's far from victoria standards
01[14:10] {@Threei}  6-7 months of cruel, probably harshest on the continent, winter, with temps routinely down to -40
01[14:10] {@Threei}  mountains of snow
01[14:10] {@Threei}  mosquito-infested summer
01[14:10] {@Threei}  with high humidity +30-35
01[14:10] {@Threei}  Celsius
[14:11] {Jenh} :( ic
01[14:11] {@Threei}  city itself is as bland as they get
01[14:11] {@Threei}  eith nice parks of coyrse - merely couple hours of driving :)
[14:12] {Jenh} well ty for the tips on Victoria. i have to visit one day
[14:12] {Jenh} and keep winnipeg of my travel list
01[14:12] {@Threei}  to sum it up... if Victoria is one of top destinations for thwe world tourism and mediterrarian climate, winnipeg has unenviaable nickname "armpti of Canada"
[14:13] {Jenh} ew. definitely will avoid. thanx
