  1. I legitimately never want change in coins. Avoid if at all possible.
  2. That's fine, but can we do away with coins?
  3. 1. Well I still don't understand why you would post something you don't support as a retort to people who have never posted in support of it. 2. That's the whole point. The line is when you infringe on someone else's rights. If you want to display a symbol that I find disgusting, I will let you know why I find it disgusting and try to figure out why you are choosing to display it. If you want to utilize a symbol you know is disgusting to damage someone else's reputation or livelihood, that is wrong. I suppose, if I had to sum it up shortly, I'd say I'm for freedom of expression, not freedom of attribution. You want to support or express something personally, more power to you. You want to falsely label someone else, no thank you. They are free to express it on their own if they so choose. I don't speak for the other posters, which is why I went back to where I did to respond to you. I do think that a big overarching issue with a lot of what goes on politically today is that people assume other people's intentions, and they assume poorly. I'm all for Trump saying that people should be allowed to fly whatever flag they choose. I'm all for media asking him why he would support the Confederate flag. And I'd hope his response would be that he doesn't support that flag, but he does support the American flag and the freedom of expression that comes with it.
  4. As a hands on learner, I really like the outdoors idea. It wouldn't work for everything, of course, and wind can be a real jerk. I think ensuring proper distancing will definitely be key. Not too many kids per classroom. The idea of teachers being remote plays well with that, as the class could be broadcast to multiple rooms simultaneously.
  5. Barr told him to shut up about ongoing investigations lol That's an assumption, by the way. I don't know anything.
  6. I admittedly don't know much about the European schools other than the results that they didn't really impact the overall cases after going back. What prep did they do? Or was it more just policies and procedures?
  7. If the stories about schools in European countries are true, and kids attending don't tend to spread it, then it seems to make sense to free up more of the workforce. The concern would absolutely be any at risk teachers. I think perhaps the option to teach remotely would be good. Not too different from current distance learning except the kids are in the classroom together. It certainly eliminates any issues of substandard internet and probably engages the kids a bit more than being home. If a teacher needed to be remote, the classroom would likely need a supervisor of some kind who is less at risk than the teacher. Whether that is able to be funded or a volunteer service is a separate and equally tricky conversation.
  8. The difference is I didn't report your post to the moderators. I pointed out the connotations of what you were sharing and asked you to stop. Free speech does not end at speech you disagree with. Personally, I'm all for allowing people to freely demonstrate exactly who they are. Like you and your swastika. If you weren't free to post it I wouldn't be able to explain how disgusting that symbol is and you'd never learn or grow. I noticed that I haven't seen it lately. Thank you for that. You want people to stop flying confederate flags? Present compelling arguments to them about why it isn't cool. Who knows, you might even learn something new from their counterpoint.
  9. I didn't have to ask. A coworker from Sierra Leone and another from Ghana both told me as much in our introductory conversations and then both asked where my family was from and whether I had ever been to Africa.
  10. Italian grandparents came from Sicily and Abruzzo. German family is much smaller and less social, not sure where in country they came from.
  11. So nice it pasted twice. So I guess that kills the national popular vote interstate compact?
  12. Me? That's quite the accusation. There's only one person I know of that's posting that dreadful symbol. Stop.
  13. So it's okay to post swastikas as long as you label it with someone else's name? No, your alliances are clear and quite frankly unacceptable. Stop posting symbols of hate.
  14. Says the person regularly posting swastikas on a message board...
  15. I have no issue with using primary, or something to that effect, to describe the main bedroom.
  16. I'm absolutely kneeling for both. #Equality
  17. Oh okay. So you really didn't follow the incredibly short conversation. Got it.
  18. unless we're talking about the US Census or the establishment of slavery in the middle east and north Africa. Then they're definitely white
  19. So we're in agreement that the statement I highlighted is based on nothing? Fair enough.
  20. Well that's very confusing. If we're at 125k deaths, and the quota is 60k, what about that would indicate 10s of thousands more? It's almost as if you didn't follow the incredibly short conversation at all, but perhaps I'm missing something.
  21. She's absolutely had enough moments that we don't need to use made up ones!
  22. Did I miss the official quota number announcement?
  23. I'm pretty sure that's what Bubba Wallace calls his car
