That's a great quote.

SB was probably dumbfounded as a child at how everyone was suddenly able to walk on the ceilings when he stood on his head.

I will argue that in the literal sense the programmed computer understands what the car and the adding machine understand, namely, exactly nothing.

I don't pass Noah off as fact Ah, now we're getting somewhere. You admit the Noah fable is fiction. That's what I was looking for. So, okay I'll play. I've got nothing to do today, and this will be my last day on this board before I get back to work. Let's see if I have this right: I have a beach b...

ML@Coyote

I will play your game as soon as you explain how Noah was able to collect 6.5 million different sorts of creatures from all over the world (13 million creatures total) and put them on a boat and keep them alive for the duration of the flood.

I have a Guatamalan friend who is married with children and lives in a lousy part of LA. He is a permanent resident and his kids are citizens. When I was building construction projects, he worked for me a lot and we became friends. He doesn't make much money, and lives from paycheck to paycheck. He ...

But basically, I'm just curious about whose job it is to lead the effort to fix America's broken families, and how that effort should play out. Men. However, I come from a traditional family with traditional values and the traditional family set-up— you know, the gold standard in society for the nu...

Both of my sons were educated in the local public schools (they did attend Montessori school when we lived in a shittier part of the metropolis). My wife and I were too. One of my sons is a college drop-out, and that was the right decision for him. It wasn’t for him. And he has found another path t...

Stop confusing people...they'll stop thinking CAL is a liberal school, which doesn't preach "critical thinking" and/or a "sink or swim" policy. Shame on you. During my first year at Cal, I took Econ. During one of our lecture classes, the prof brought in a little fellow who look...

But is it your take that education is solely the responsibility of the local community to prioritize and fund, and that the feds should stay completely out of it and put its faith in states and municipalities to educate our youth to meet the demands of the global markets, economies, and technologic...

Thanks for that.

The GOP hates education spending because their voter base is ignorant, uneducated, racist assholes. Educated Americans don't vote GOP. Fact. Plenty of educated rich people vote Republican because they understand that it is in their interest to maintain the current system. The people you speak of ar...

Great post 88...thanks. I only have one major concern. What do we do for the "good" kids from bad families that want to make something of their lives? I know, life isn't fair. But it seems like it would be a good thing to help these kids get the sort of education they deserve despite their...

ML@Coyote

Here are some thoughts: The fact is that the US spends more per student (K-12) than all other countries except for Switzerland and Norway. Maybe we not such misers as I originally implied when it comes to education. Maybe if there is a problem, it has more to do with the teachers, parents, and stude...

ML@Coyote

I can definitely see how bringing education to the state level would improve efficiency etc., and I'm glad for your posts. I wasn't even thinking in that direction. But the problem will still remain, which is how much voters are truly willing to pay for education. Will spending at the state level re...

Simple. Believe women who accuse conservatives, don't believe women who accuse liberals. Everything in his life boils down to left vs. right. His whole persona is that of an aggrieved wanna be victim who doesn't want to take accountability for his own actions. Fuck, it's even in his username. When ...

The teachers unions spend millions contributing to political candidates and causes. I think this is what Rooster is referring to. I think the unions should stay out of politics completely. You don’t think unions should be allowed to spend own money to support political causes? I don’t suppose you f...

ML@Coyote

I think the unions should stay out of politics completely. Got any other shitty ideas? Teachers are supposed to help our children learn, among other things, how to weigh facts and opinions and make up their own minds. I don't think it's appropriate for their teachers to back certain political candi...

Softball...ever see any of these bumper stickers in Korea?

They were popular for a while in Southern California.

Selena Gomez was born in 1992.

That's the real reason for the decline in Russia's population.

I'm surprised neither of you knew this.

Surely, God will punish you for that.

ML@Coyote

No, I cannot say for sure. I am saying that I assume the Bible to be accurate -- and that Noah took two of every sort of animal onto the ark. Genesis 6:19. If you then look at immediate context you see that God started giving Noah examples of what He intended -- birds, cattle, creeping things... Ge...

Are you saying the diversity of species has increased since Noah?

As in by evolution?

That isn't what is in the Bible.

Noah was to take two of every sort of animal into the ark.
Genesis 6:19.

6.5 million, as in 6.5 million different species. As in 6.5 million sorts.

I guess I didn't make myself clear.

I'm not imparting kindness or any emotion at all into this.

I understand a sexual assault victim not wanting to come forward, but I don't understand her coming forward now , 36 years later, in these circumstances. It's pretty easy to understand. Once the victim decides not to come forward immediately after the assault, inertia will prevent her from ever doi...

ML@Coyote

Everything God wants to say is in Jesus Christ and the Scriptures. Do you speak to God? Yes, of course. Why don't you ask him (politely of course) to hold a press conference and explain how Noah collected and saved 6.5 million land living species on Earth. That seems like something he might want to...

If you've followed my posts in this thread, my answer to that question is pretty obvious. Her story already has enough holes in it without President Tamland saying "Well if there really was a crime, she would have gone to the police!" At best, it's incredibly tone deaf. Given the numerous...
