There are examples of equally barbaric practices among every group you listed, so what's the point? We get that radical Muslims are dangerous - radical anything related to religion is dangerous.

Seriously: how does anyone that stupid get elected? The citizens he represents [I mean the real ones] should recall that idiot, pronto. We are a nation of laws, and if one cannot respect that, they are not [and should not be] welcome here.

It's a work in progress, lol. ;)

If it were in the US, I'd assume the school's insurance carrier was behind it, not wanting to cover the liability if a child got hurt & the parents sued. And you know they would. :rolleyes:

I believe you did: knowledge does not a teacher make - unless it's knowledge of how to teach, from toddlers to adults. I can't do it, and neither can most who believe [without any training] they can teach their children. And I don't think ASJ "believes in nothing and wants to teach our children...

If George Dubya Bush had played golf & attended fundraisers instead of invading Iraq, ISIS wouldn't be a problem today.

I'd recommend buying a van of your own, and investing in the level of comfort required to earn a living. If you have to start with very little, well, it motivates you to keep working, lol. Splitting the income of a van doesn't motivate the owner to invest very much: reality. There just isn't...

The majority of citizens disagree, believing well and properly educated children represent the best possible future for themselves, and society. The average parent is ill equipped to produce that result by educating their children themselves. The result of permitting [much less requiring] every...

If prayer is allowed in school, it cannot be limited to one 'flavor', but must be allowed by all. Everyone ok with Muslim prayers before the games? :confused:

Unless it's a woman's right to decide if and/or when she will have children. Conservatives don't believe in allowing that, but they are far from simply declining to participate. So far in fact, that Planned Parenthood has been forced by conservative sponsored legislation to close locations...

I think what Barkley means is "Liberals rule. [Conservatives Drool.] ;) I'll admit, however, that after reading the stunning statement "consumers naturally gravitate to the best product", [so, that means Subway really makes the best sandwiches, and McDonald's the best burger?!] it feels like my...

Again, you're deflecting. The subject was prestigious awards for Excellence in Journalism, which Mother Jones has won 6 times, [out of 27 nominations]. And the reason for that is because someone denigrated the credibility of Mother Jones. Presumably, because the magazine is perceived as...

Jon, check out OOIDA. Lots of trustworthy help there.

I never did orientation at Panther, [I came from ConWay - maybe they thought ex Cons would disrupt 'class', lol], but I would hope the background check is complete before you get there, and the one iffy thing is the drug screen. They can't legally allow you to drive until that comes back. PS...

Zorry: it did, [show up], but it's kind of buried in the "Obama" thread, after 60 or so posts, following a great 'think piece' Turtle linked in post 55. Some interesting comments, though. :o

First Soapbox comment by that poster I could wholeheartedly agree with - once I got done laughing. ;)

What you say is correct: people will choose what they agree with. In the case of the Awards For Excellence, what they are choosing is excellence in journalism, not subject matter or political ideology. Is it so difficult for you to believe that not everyone judges everything on perceived...

I'm in. ;)

Muttly: since you don't seem to understand the difference between real journalism and tabloids, here's a quick 'cheat' to decide: if the sidebars & slideshows lean strongly towards nubile females in states of undress, it's tabloid 'journalism'. And the corollary for network news is that if the...
