But, your thread title is better - much better.

Gets a lot of music out of that POS geetar.

Why sir, you mean that the player means more than the instrument?

I'm shocked! Shocked, I tell you....

As Jon would say, "Jesus"

Read history and you see what could happen, and what has happened repeatedly in the 20th century.

Good point, Aqua. Really good point.

And as fast as possible, the idiots are changing the curriculum in public schools. Didn't they read history? Of course, just like the rest of us did in public or private education. So, how is it "they" want to go in a direction that could be so awful, where people have no choice because the government has mandated how and what will be acceptible?

As a school board member of 12 years in a large district, I should be able to answer my own question, but I can't.
I could not figure how the progressive changes demanded by the SJW could so easily be implemented without discussion. I saw the dramatic changes in curriculum and classroom issues taking place, but there was nothing I could do. Even asking an assistant superintendent in a public meeting, "please explain what Social Justice is, in how it will be implemented in our district, and will be undertood by everyone."

I asked similar questions for the final 4-5 years of being on the Board, as I saw the changes taking place without argument, or rather, arguing was not allowed. She could not answer, I became the target and was basically forced off the board.

And now, all 5 board members are far-left.

As Reagan would say (Jon's favorite pres), "Here we go again."

And no, I didn't cheat.

Sorry Klaus, I actually thought Jon made that comment. 'Condescending' doesn't apply to you, at least.

Here's jon tipping his landscaper. "Hey, José, come over here for a second. Listen, José, I don't want you to feel bad about taking this, because honestly this amount of money is meaningless to someone like me. But for you, I feel like it would be life-changing. And jon-nyc is in the business of changing lives, José. Today, it is my great privilege and honor to change yours. Take this 20 dollars, José, and go buy your five kids a Happy Meal. Tell them it's from uncle jon. There's a good lad. Now run along."

I'm sure nobody has ever accused you of being condescending, Horace.

That is correct. Thank you for recognizing my humility. Few people do. In fact it's one of my most-overlooked qualities. The masses have proven unable to recognize many of the things that make me superior to them, but I appreciate your perceptiveness in this regard.

I'm going to leave you a shiny new penny as a special thank you for your humility.

Crazy fast.

Yep. Have a couple of friends who are pretty hardcore with an axe and shield.

Shots in arms is the answer.

I can’t listen to an other nonsense until everyone understands the mission. It’s like watching people get picked off by a sniper and everyone is cowering.

Nope, but remember...It only took about 30% of us to start a revolution...

Great story!!

@xenon said in Segregation?:

I'm curious if people are happy about being in these special groups.

Well, the media makes sure we never hear from those who aren’t happy about it.

And all the people said, "Amen".

"This is a legal legitimate fundraiser,"

Change "fundraiser" to "herbal product" and that's exactly what the shoeless guy outside 7-11 keeps telling me.

Tell him to come over to VA, it is a legitimate legal herbal product now.

The rank and file white left will never own their tacit encouragement of this sort of culturally poisonous messaging.

@axtremus said in State AGs say not so fast to relief bill provision:

You misunderstand the nature of the matter. The federal government does not dictate state tax policy in this case, merely giving the states choices — accept certain conditions that come with certain federal funds, or not accept any such fund and be free from any attendant conditions.

Like Title IX, Constitutionally the federal government cannot dictate states’ education policies, so Title IX gives them a choice — accept certain conditions that come with Title IX funds, or not accept any Title IX fund and be free from any attendant Title IX conditions.

National relief should not come with that kind of strings attached.
