  1. The problem with private schools is that they keep out bad students The problem with public schools is that they hire bad teachers. to fix the problem. We had a program where the city government paid for problem students to attend charter schools. The good teachers left and they became juvenile detention centers. Private (church) schools became the place to send your kids. Guess what they're proposing now?
  2. to sum up the argument: "You may not care if Donald Trump rounds up the criminals, because you're not one..."
  3. We must also remove "Johnson" from building names because it's sexist.
  4. Where are the parents?
  5. The moon is fake. It's a hoax used by the patriarchy to trick women into sleeping with men outdoors.
  6. Owning solar panels is racist. http://news.yahoo.com/u-solar-industry-battles-white-privilege-image-problem-062508186.html
  7. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/amitai-etzioni/needed-domestic-disarmame_b_8739712.html?ncid=txtlnkusaolp00000592 At least this article finally admits that their goal is to disarm the population. Deporting 18million illegal aliens is impossible, but confiscating 250million guns is worth a shot...
  8. Since Sanders is just throwing random numbers out there, why not go for 1000miles/gallon and creating 1 billion jobs as the goal? It's not like his followers have any grip on reality.
  9. I imagine that Harry Potter land will meet the same fate.
  10. Did you try burying it in rice overnight? Personally, I try to keep a backup of all my data on the computer, since I also use it to charge the battery.
  11. I would have preferred that website use a paper bag instead of the photo-shopped head. As far as the USA is concerned, the location is important. You can link each country's preference with a corresponding US city.
  12. Proving that a group that calls out racists is themselves racist, is noteworthy. Also, I tend to give anyone over 80 a bit of slack from being politically correct. Personally, I can't bring myself to say "African-American." It sounds silly. (and inaccurate)
  13. To add: The trip has been discussed for years. The schedule was laid out months ago. The girlfriend was invited (to this and previous family events/trips, but declined). Then the hotels and tickets were purchased with the surprise upgrade to free 1st class revealed. This was during the summer. On Thanksgiving, my brother informed the rest of us that his girlfriend changed her mind and wants to go, showing us the resort promotional website as her motivation. He asked for the additional ticket along with changes on hotel accommodation dates (that we paid) to include cutting our visit short for a side vacation. Obviously, there was some tension with the change in plans and that is when he informed us that he was not willing to go unless she went as well. Our mother informed him that we would be happy for her to come along (and finally meet everyone- they had only briefly met once before), but would have to pay her own way. His credit is 0 (I didn't know you could even hit zero). Any loan would have to come from the family. Basically, I'm the buffer between him and our mother who is ready to hand over the cash.
  14. We will invent a technology that can disable all guns simultaneously.
  15. If you only make left-handed guns, only 15% of the population would be able to commit crimes.
  16. Any criticism of her is met by anger from him. I've actually considered hiring someone to catfish her into cheating. But that stuff only happens in movies. For everyone who asked, this is a close internet approximation. (not actually her, just a picture from google.) Think a little fatter, older version of the pic below:
  17. -He asked for a $2K loan for Christmas last year, which he used to take his girlfriend to Las Vegas, then paid it back in May with his tax refund. He's asking for a similar amount this year, which he hopes can be repaid by his bonus. Basically, his girlfriend spends future money in advance (refunds, bonuses,etc), but ends up adding to his debt because it never completely covers the cost. It's begun to pile up. Recently, we've had to help him cover his basic bills. My thinking, if this relationship becomes a permanent arrangement, is that no one will want to help him out at all. He's going to have to maintain their lifestyle on his own. He has a good job, used to have money to burn (had the latest iphones, PS3, etc), but now he's working overtime all the time, and needs help scraping together money for rent? I think he's taken over her mortgage and car payment; as well as grocery, concert, movie tickets, etc. I've seen girlfriends drain a guy's money before, but this feels extreme.
  18. I have a friend who is uber liberal, and another who is a tea party conservative. Interestingly, they both want a Hilary vs Trump election because they think the other is too crazy to win. I agreed with them because it would be entertaining to watch.
  19. What will happen if we pick a random building on campus and stamp "blacks only" on all the doors.
  20. Interesting that his solutions are the complete opposite of the demands being made by college students.
  21. I agree. It's at sea, there is already a giant urinal surrounding the ship. I can't wait to see recruitment pamphlets on uni-sex showers. "Join the mobile infantry and save the world. Service guarantees citizenship!"
  22. I predicted this situation. Liberals accuse conservatives of racism and immigrant intolerance, then push for stricter gun laws when a terrorist kills people. There is no political downside for them with the Syrian refugees.
  23. A simplified explanation of a long discussion:The girlfriend feels claustrophobic around strangers. -She doesn't like sitting next to people she doesn't know, and needs to fly first class for the extra space. This problem also affected her passport because she won't stand in line at the post office, but must make an appointment (more expensive with a waiting list). It's not a medical condition; more a personality quirk. He explains it as "extreme shyness." Although, it doesn't keep her from going to clubs and parties.
