I'm just Teachers unions don not have the best interests of students in mind and a suggestion otherwise is laughable. Good teachers should be praised, bad teachers should be fired and sent packing. And their has to be a easier way to do that. What's the evidence that teachers' unions don't have the...

Dama galant, d'alta i molt gran noblesa, On la virtut se troba aposentada, No sé més dir sinó que us ha formada Aquell que té los cels ab fortalesa. Mirant de vós la gràcia i gentilesa, Al grau suprem sou de virtus dotada, Robí perfet, gran joia comparada, I diamant de joies la riquesa. Anau seguint...

I love horse meat and think it should be a standard option along with chicken, pork, and beef.

So NOW can I post a decapitation and have it be dead? Really and truly dead?

A simple "I love you and I'm proud of you". We say "I love you" a lot at our house. Like, a lot a lot. We are also touchers and we hug frequently. And as we leave the house, "Go forth and be awesome!" is our farewell. We tell each other how much we appreciate specific a...

See, I read these stories, and I think, wow, her husband's a real ass, not helping out with the kids! And then I can't help but think, I wonder what my wife says about me behind my back on whatever site is her equivalent of NPR. I'm sure there have been plenty of times when I've been an ass and not...

The number of times I have accidentally clicked on the phpbb link at the bottom of the page is uncountable and probably makes them wonder why I'm that site's most frequent visitor. This is why I walk around in a low level of inchoate rage at the world. Last night I try to get to sleep at a reasonab...

I mean...I get what you're saying but I don't think overall "smartness" informs ethics or how "good" a society operates or chooses to punish people. Some of the worst atrocities on the planet have been committed by smart people. No, and any society will always have a small perce...

My dog has terrible, terrible gas tonight and I'm a little worried about letting her sleep at the foot of my bed, her normal spot, because I think the smell is bad enough to wake me from a dead sleep.

the ANGER at the deaf joke is curious to me because it's such a absurd idea with no basis in reality that it seems more goofy than anything else. Unless a movement to strip the hard of hearing of property rights is swelling in this country and is receiving enough popular support that it's becoming ...

Taking revenge out of the justice system would be a huge start. But I don't think we'll do that until we have a higher percentage of better educated individuals in society. I think it's a cycle; people are outraged at crime and have emotional reactions without being able to step back and look at th...

I'm glad the bleeding stopped. The sinus rinses... well, they burn a bit. Good luck.

A few years ago I sat with my wife at a fast food joint, waiting for a car to be fixed in Auburn NY, and talking about the Auburn System , and I was like, "huh, prisons.... what are they for?" So, with no researching we figured these three things: 1. protection 2. rehabilitation 3. punish...

I think Democratic Socialism is a far superior form of government to Capitalism. I strongly support abortions up to the point of reasonable viability, which is roundabouts 26-7 weeks.That's not to say that a fetus can't survive if born at 24 weeks or that it will absolutely have debilitating conditi...

For us? Small house in the city with good public transportation, a commercial grade kitchen, and jobs that allow us to live comfortably (no crazy vacations required, just at least enough to pay our bills and save for retirement) and spend time with family (no more than 50 hours per week per working ...
