I think you all missed the most important part of that car story. The son was telegrammed that his father was dead, but when have wicked sports cars and telegrams existed together, with a 30 year gap between car and the telegram? 1885. The car was his ticket home. Marty never got back.

I don't really see anything wrong with writing about Jesus as long as it fits the assignment. Neither of the articles said what the actual assignment was, except that it was "open-ended" Maybe the student could have written a better pseudo-essay with a different prompt, and that's probably where the teacher was coming from.

Someone I knew in high school posted this er... article. http://spokanefavs.com/2014/04/06/op-ed-warns-conservative-christians-face-persecution-pro-gay-homofascists/ I wanted to pull some choice quotes out, but drat the whole article is quote:We all know the story — Mozilla co-founder Brendan Eich was recently pressured to resign from his position as CEO of the company he helped create after word got out he donated $1,000 to a group supporting Proposition 8, the California measure that banned gay marriage in California, in 2008.

He also planned World War 1, 2, and 3." There was also one that was equally hilarious that connected the "fact" that the Illuminati wants to kill all but one billion chosen people (and prevent the population from rising further permanently) and the kids' Super Bowl half-time performance of "Billionaire" by that one rapper because "billionaire" and "prepare" were used within seconds of each other in the song lyrics.

There's an argument against raising the minimum wage that says something like 95% of all people already earn over the minimum anyway, and most of that 5% is high school kids working fast food, besides. There's a counterpoint, though, that says that's horseshit because those making $7.25 an hour won't be the only ones to have their wages increased (rising tide, etc) ... I just don't have the right words to say it. Anybody got a link?

Anybody got a link? http://www.politifact.com/punditfact/statements/2014/feb/16/steve-forbes/steve-forbes-says-two-thirds-people-who-earn-minim/ This is pretty good I think. Though that 95% is conflating it with another statement: Perry claim about Texas workers makes assumption about wages paid to non-hourly workers In short the problem is it's assuming 2 things: 1."Above minimum wage" is misleading. Someone can be making 7.30 and still technically not be being paid minimum wage 2.They're not counting states with minimum wages above the $7.25. For example Massachusetts has a minimum wage of $8 but technically that statistic isn't counting it because it's above the federal.

I'm not sure why gun nuts want to use this as an example of how a gun could have made things better since in this situation no one was killed and when people bring guns to these types of things the body count is much higher. I'd want people to forget about this instead of highlighting it as how guns save lives when there weren't any fatalities to stop.

Out of curiosity, did this really gain much traction in the US media? All I ever heard from it was an open letter from another employee basically asking people not to judge the entire company for the CEO's decision. It seemed like the whole deal was over before it even really began. It's also cute to euphemistically call Prop 8 a "traditional marriage cause" when it was nothing less than a concerted attempt to specifically outlaw gay marriage.

I think part of the problem is no one, even your average right winger really gives a poo poo about the problems of some rich rear end in a top hat they've never heard of. At least with the Duck Dynasty guy they had a perceived cultural bond with him and grew familiar with him through a tv show.
