Zero Sum

Wasn't disgusting to the Greeks or Romans, the founders of Western Civilization.

At all points in history someone will be ready to ####### on someone else. You just seem to be around to do it a little more frequently.

Some people just hate to admit that we're all a lot more similar than not.
Well... they just like to hate, period.

Not to mention the genes they all left behind after sticking around those parts of Europe. Lots of racist Europeans will have a hard time coming to terms with their Asian and to some extent, African blood.

Remember its a thing about male homosexuals. Talk to them about girls going wild among themselves and they're all eyes.

Well according to Danno, we do indeed need to stop it if the dancing is illegal

Oh, so she is the exception and everyone else is the problem. Keep telling yourself that and you will start believing it.
Anyone on this board who marries and immigrates someone from a Third World country then complains about people coming here from Third World countries is a hypocrite, not an exception, pure and simple.

The facts do not state otherwise. This thread has been not about facts, but a lot of White folks in Europe and on this board catterwalling over how they want to be left alone after messing over other people in other countries to suit their own desires. That is the only fact stated here.
Have you packed up your Third World bride to prove your point?

Right on.
Also, the people making up laws about education should be people who are actively involved in classrooms. NCLB was and is a joke. Every single dedicated and qualified teacher knows this to be fact. You cannot rate a school/classroom/pod/team/teacher based on standardized test scores. Well, you CAN, but it's ridiculous.
For everyone who complains about public education and who blame the teachers -- would you do their jobs? Best case scenario: you have 35 to 150 students a day (depending on whether you are primary or secondary), you have text books, and ample supplies (but you bought most of the supplies yourself), you have actively involved parents, and you have students who want to learn.
Normal scenario: same numbers, you are still providing your own supplies and sometimes you have to figure out how to get textbooks, the percentage of involved parents is very limited, students are either not interested, can't stay awake (for whatever reason), are interested but need additional help they can't get and you can't provide, you have administrators breathing down your neck to fall into line on matters that take up far too much of your teaching time and have no benefit for the classroom, you rarely have time for a bathroom break, much less a lunch break, you bring your work home with you in the evenings and work late into the night, you arrive early to prepare before school, you have -- on average in the nation -- a Master's degree in your subject area and/or M.Ed or MAT, you get little to no respect and you are paid ####### wages. AND people think you don't do a good enough job and you get paid too much (or, if you're in Wisconsin -- they just take away all your collective bargaining rights).
Is it any wonder that public schools are in dire shape? Is it any wonder that many excellent, qualified, dedicated teachers either leave the profession or leave public education?
Instead of having a 100% passing rate on a BS standardized test that does nothing to adequately monitor or measure our students' knowledge and does nothing to prepare them for college or life after high school -- how about let parents and teachers work together to find solutions to these issues? How about letting people who are in the classroom have a say in what the Dept of Education does?

You could erect a long vertical stack in your back yard. Then fire a Teflon coated round straight upward, and wait for the bullet to hit you in the head. That should give you the answer you are looking for, and you can report back to us.

Of course not, then they can pay higher taxes.

Let me guess, as per usual, you didn't even read the article, yet feel compelled to post some sad anti-government rant.

The only people that have ever referred to the President as the Messiah are people like you. Not once have I heard a reasonable person referring to him as such.
Indeed. This doesn't appear such a time, though.

That certainly is debateable.

Well, ain't it funny how you criticize the federal government getting too much into the business of the states and then you turn around and criticize when the feds get out of the business of the states. You want more autonomy for the states or less? Make up your mind, will ya'?

Someone with more public health knowledge than you unfortunately.

Right Slim, the fact that you misinterpret or misunderstand most topics on these boards is due to the fact that you don't waste time on the points I make.

Why would I be upset? I'm not the one who's going to look like a fool when he figures out that subsidizing millionaires and billionaires is what's been going on all these years. Do you hear laughter? It's the laughter of the wealthy who see those of your ilk as their mouthpieces promulgating the big lie about how the wealthy are paying for everything. Using your logic, if the government is running out of money then the wealthy just have to pay more since they are paying for everything.

Sad, really, that we have 50% of the population making so little for an honest day's work that they fall under the federal income tax threshold. Why is that? Well, because all the gains in income have gone to the top where people now pay the smallest share of that income in federal taxes. And you wonder why there's no revenue coming in?

Best. Mental. Image. Ever.

Slim, people like you and kip seem to misread the constitution at every turn. You fabricate rights out of thin air. Sorry, there is no amendment that grants you the right to have a gun tucked in your waistband while you eat a double down and fries at the library.

Why would he bother? You've already admitted that you don't really read anyone's posts whom you don't agree with philisophically. I think sticking to one sentence responses is ideal when directing comments toward you, at least then, there is a better chance that you will read it and possibly understand.
