Let �s just take it easy and not impose so many rules and "do-nots" that this site becomes impersonal.
We �re all human here and have so many restrictions in our daily lives, that it �s nice to see happy people letting their hair down.
I �m afraid people will stop coming here and sharing if the atmosphere becomes cold, strict and impersonal.

But hey!  - that �s just my humble opinion.

Hey, L (your name is Lisa, right? It �s my baby �s name too, Smile)

Thanks for adding your opinion too. I know this is not �my � thread or anything, but I insist that the ones who posted that we have the cafe for this or that were just pointing out one of the site �s feature, at least for me, I can say that I had a genuine light-hearted intention to point out that, but the discussion in the other thread had already touched enough nerves on people to go and be calling others intolerant.

Still waiting for my ride........  

just kidding... if I vanish for the day, be seeing you all around soon, for sure!!

If prefering to see the World Cup posts in the caf� makes me intolerant, then I �ll take the hat.

It doesn �t fit you.

Hi everyone
 
The World Cup unites the world in way like no other.  This wonderful medium is being used to help kick out poverty - check it out ... and perhaps think about how you can incoprorate this into your classroom.
 

World Cup TV spot calls for kicking out poverty
 To kick off the 2010 FIFA World Cup, Didier Drogba and Zinedine Zidane, Goodwill Ambassadors for the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), make an urgent appeal against poverty in a TV spot produced by UNDP. �The World Cup brings people around the globe together to support their national teams; we need the same kind of passion to end poverty and hunger,� says Zidane, former French national team captain. �There can be no spectators in the fight against poverty. We all need to be on the pitch to improve the lives of millions of poor people in this world,� Chelsea striker and Cote d�Ivoire national team captain Drogba ads. Watch the spot!

 
Cheers

What a great video, Jayho.

�The World Cup brings people around the globe together to support their national teams; we need the same kind of passion to end poverty and hunger,�

Could NOT agree more. Thanks for sharing the link!! Definitely going to use it in my class... and now that my country is out, perfect timing.

Thanks again!

Glad you liked it Bruna.
 
It�s a great way of getting people, especially our students, inspired for world causes.  The site has free posters and is also using Twitter and Facebook to communicte with the technology-driven generation.  So, there is heaps of scope for us as teachers to now "cash in on" world cup mania to raise wareness of, and reduce, poverty and hunger.  The gol of 2015 is not that far away ...
 
Edit:  Actually, Maria, no it�s not.  It�s just that I don�t like bickering on the forum, or posts that break the rules, so I wondered how I could turn this thread into something related to the classroom so that it meets the forum rules and stops the bickering.
