The American Media Should Not Be Trusted
Orlando Buffalo replied to SCBills's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
When students discuss with me anything that has to do with the media most of them are at a point where if the MSM, which includes FOX, says it then it is mainly wrong. Most kids recognize that the main goal now is to get clicks, not accuracy. -
Before I get to my point- you did your job as a father and should be proud, your kids were taught where you invest your resources and it is in your kids. I work in one of the largest school districts in the country and while some of public schools suck, some are phenomenal for allowing kids to flourish. My sons school has kinda the two tracks in the school itself for kids who choose to be great and those who just want to graduate. In my school we have public schools with billionaire kids mixing with the welfare kids based more on effort than resources at home. Crappy school are not a forgone conclusion for public schools unless the parents accept it.

Part of the lack of love for Tyrod is he was kinda boring to watch unless he was running. I prefer Flutie and Fitz because they were exciting, sometimes really bad things for Fitz but exciting. The boring is why I could not stand watching Orton, he was so predictable and it was often not good enough.

Yes, immigrant kids, outside of the really rich Brazilians, are never my issue. I will point out the additional time kids rarely use it, parents just want it to make themselves feel better about being crappy parents usually. The other most common accommodation is "preferential seating" which some parents think that means the kid gets to choose where they sit, it means I have to pay attention to their location in class.

The trend was in place but the explosion has been since COVID. COVID broke many parents which in turn overwhelmed the schools ability to help kids until it really bad. But the two things we as society need to do is stop making being a "victim" a point of pride. If you are mentally ill or truly victimized I want to help you, not confirm you. Secondly we need to stop telling kids that a terrible effort will be tolerated, I have parents telling me there kids "did the best they could" when the kid spent 3 minutes on the 4 questions assignment I gave them 20 minutes to do in class. (Yes that was a real example) I know the kid would struggle but he did not ask for help, he did not do research, he simply did not try because he is not afraid of me because parents would not back me. Last thing is one school policy- no phones in class at all and each violation is a out of school suspension.

The FBI used the Steele Dossier to spy on Trump, nothing else is important. It is absurd that you act like the media running with it was the worst part, the left wing media is expected to be trash but up until this I respected the FBI, at the point this became public I realized that the FBI is working against the American people often. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/ncna1121406

Florida has already worked a way to help poor children who go to lesser schools gain admission. If you are in the top 10% of your class you are automatically eligible for acceptance to all State Universities except UF and FSU, they are even more selective. If your school does not offer all the AP courses my son was able to take them you still can go to a good school and if you fulfill the Bright futures scholarship requirements you can go for free, or at least really close to free.

Daniel Penny to be charged
Orlando Buffalo replied to SCBills's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
A large push to close mental hospitals cake from "one flew over the cuckoo nest" and Nurse Ratchet. I have some interaction with the main one in Orlando and I don't see much help happening, just stabilizing and release again. My understanding is in Europe once in it is much more difficult to get out, but we have more individual rights. -
The vast majority of mass shootings are from the left, they just don't get the coverage normally. Whether it is gang members, the Nashville shooter, or Uvalde if they don't mention the shooters politics they are liberal. There are some from the right side but much less than the left. Secondly 2020 was a violent summer in liberal places, it was not related to politics. Murder and arson are not political unless it is focused on a politician, that was simply violence, trying to pretend it was political says you can justify anything if you call it political.
-
So murder and burning down police stations in 2020 is political discussions but removing someone from office is political violence, what a dumb argument.

The numbers are actually worse than reported. This does not include all the cost associated with ads and efforts for tie ins. There were a lot of toys "created" that were not produced or even worse left in a warehouse to ensure that Disney name was not damaged further by huge discounts.

DeSantis For President in 2024?
Orlando Buffalo replied to Trump_is_Mentally_fit's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
If you think that they do it efficiently then you are stupid, If you think that harassing normal people is acceptable you are unethical, otherwise your question is not worth my time because that is not why the IRS is garbage. -

Estonia would be better but the main principles would need to be: 1) simplified personal tax code- flat tax would be best if not Fairtax 2) business taxes would be main driver of audits 3) new organization would focus on helping people with paying proper amount. I don't care what it is called but the focus would have to change radically from the current system where agents are rewarded for "catching" people who did not understand the garbage tax laws to an organization that makes it easy to stay within the law. -
You used the word violent and this is what you come back with? Seriously you should just admit you were wrong.

The IRS did not exist for about our 1st years. The IRS as it currently exists is about the least efficient way to collect taxes. There are several concepts that can work but it is not as if he can simply abolish it without setting up the rest of the framework -
After all the lies from the government in regards to COVID there is not much that would surprise me.

Everything on this board pales in comparison

If you are economically illiterate admitting it is the first step to solving it, but I can't argue with someone who believes the Fed spending 5 trillion is not the problem. -
Random Political Thoughts Inc.
Orlando Buffalo replied to T&C's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Not saying you are wrong but I think if they were smart they would focus on the good they have done, especially with the military, throughout time. Your way seems to be too much admitting they screwed up, but I do think when your product is so easily replaced one bad move and you are permanently toast. -

I agree with him completely on IRS and dept of education. Neither is competent or useful and both make life harder to improve for common Americans. For the other two dept I don't have enough knowledge to state they should be removed but Energy needs to be a forum with some federal government intervention, most likely just a lighter hand -
Do you actually believe conservative woman are more likely to be violent? More likely to lash out at the world? Tell me the conservative area of the US that is more dangerous than the bluest areas?

Did we do enough? I think we are getting there.

I was going to argue with him but clearly he has no understanding of the Bills or football in general l, so why bother? -
Who's Running The Executive Branch?
Orlando Buffalo replied to Irv's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
he is either totally senile and needs to removed from office or he is admitting to the crime one way or another he needs to be removed. -
Start eating your own (Poyer) lib Bills fans...
Orlando Buffalo replied to BillsFanNC's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
If you did not want to be associated with Trump in any way then pull out when it was announced as the location and allow someone else to fill your shoes, to pull out at the last minute knowing that it would have to be cancelled is choosing to intentionally screw the childrens charity for political purposes. -

The sad part is that so many of these groups waited until the last moment to tell Jordan. This has been on the books at Doral for several months at least because one of my friends wanted to go until he saw the price tag. If not interested then tell him upfront don't wait till 2 weeks out and he can't fix it. Those people who pulled out this past week are garbage because they would truly rather children suffer than allow Trump to have any good coverage.
