    3, 4, 7, 8, 9, and 10 all broken by Trump. 6 out of 10.

      In many circles, 60% is a passing grade.

        I think he probably breaks 1 every time he looks in the mirror.

        And we all know he's got a statue of himself somewhere, so there goes 2.

        I was only joking

          That's what matters.

          Let's just declare all 10 obsolete.

            I never cease to be amused at people who try to hold others' failings up as some sort of evidence that the standard is invalid. It's baked into humanity. It's much like trying to judge history by today's values.

              Back in the UK, I taught in a Catholic school for a while (I know, shocking, right?)

              They had graven images up all over the place, which I in turn never cease to be amused at.

              I was only joking

                    I have to admit the idea of you teaching in a Catholic school is pretty funny. The possibilities for comedy sketches is huge.

                      My lack of faith was the least of their concerns. My complete inability to teach or control the class was much more of a worry.

                        Did they have them 100 years ago?

                        Hindi kids have had them for a few thousand years. My coworker has one on his desk.

                        And Texas is busy taking such items away?

                        I mean - what’s a 8 year old Hindu kid supposed to think when the sign at his school says that graven images are forbidden by god.

                        I’m definitely in support of things like having Christmas pageants and the like, don’t get me wrong.

                        But hanging up the rules of one religion in a government building seems odd. Can we hang up Buddhist, Islamic and Sikh teachings as well?

                        I don’t get the point of this.

                        It's extremely dumb. Learn about your religion in church. Yes as a Christian I believe I am right and others are wrong, but I can also see how inappropriate it is to pick one religion and display its artifacts in a classroom. Honestly I don't care other than it's absolutely the slipperiest of slopes as what prevents all N number of faiths and belief systems to display their stuff, and then blink and you'll have 5 breaks during the day for everyone to be quiet during Salah.

                        I agree. What if I am a devil worshipper? Should I be allowed to have something for my religion hanging in school?

                                      Okay, here is my favorite heaven and hell joke

                                      A man dies and finds himself in Hell. The Devil meets him and tells him "This is the new, user friendly Hell. There are three doors. Each one is how you'll spend your eternity. You have an hour, so take your time and choose wisely."
                                      He opened the first door, to find a firey pit. Men were chained to posts and eternally flogged by demons as the flames burned around them. He decided that would not be an acceptable choice.

                                      The second door revealed an icy slope. Men eternally pushed giant boulders up the side of an icy mountain, only to have a demon kick them back down when they reached the top, forcing them to repeat this for eternity. He closed the door behind him, deciding that this won't do either.

                                      The third door revealed people standing up to their waist in a pit of sh*t, but they were drinking tea and smoking and joking. The demons stood around the sides of the pit looking bored.

                                      When the Devil came back to ask him if he'd made up his mind, he replied "I'll take door number three!". The Devil told him "As you wish", and he went in to spend eternity there.

                                      He grabbed a cup of tea and stepped into the pit looking for a smoke to bum and a person to talk to when the head demon cracked his whip and bellowed "All right, break's over, back on your heads!"
