They probably didn't read the article beyond skimming enough to get the idea "some jobs that exist today shouldn't exist" and agreed with that. I mean I appreciate your optimism, but you don't live to be an older conservative through careful introspection and meticulous reading.

What does this mean? Get kids internships, apprenceships, and job shadowing. Everyone has that responsibility within the positions of Career Development Coordinators (one per school), Career Development district jobs (2 or so people), and now the county has hire Career Development liaisons (5 or 6) or whatever. The major industries we have are finance and tourism. Now, how many people need to call the same 10 companies and talk to the same 15 schools? Why does this matter? Because the state and fed has set aside money. So instead of using the money on a thing, they pay a salary. temple fucked around with this message at 03:30 on Aug 22, 2013 |

I guess I'll put this here. I was out earlier but didn't have a camera on me and saw a pick up truck parked at my grocery store that had the second amendment printed on the rear window, the way you'll see sharks, football teams and U.S, flags and poo poo sometimes done. Like this: http://thumbs1.ebaystatic.com/d/l225/m/mROO75VgbAmtzo1ZPSeQpMg.jpg It costs around $150 to get that done. This gun thing kills me. There are loving guns everywhere. Stores can't keep them in stock. No one is trying to take away guns. They must be getting the idea that they are from right wing media. edit: image leaching. My fault.

They literally sent out a flyer to their members saying that it's imperative to buy guns because Obama didn't do anything about guns in his first term which means he's been saving it this whole time for his second term. They were scaring their members with the fact that NOTHING HAD HAPPENED. After that they could put false flag screeds on their dinner napkins and I wouldn't think twice about it. Then of course they were vindicated when Obama did come out with strong support for gun control after some thing happened with a school and some guns, giving him an excuse to come after their guns (re: say some things and get absolutely nothing done at all).

How long has "Post Abortion Survivor Syndrome" been an argument point against abortion? It's probably the stupidest one there is. I saw on FOX a little while ago that they were talking about those three teenagers that killed a jogger, and one guest on the show cited this as a reason for their poor mental health, because the fact that they could have been aborted brings them mental stress.

I heard a radio ad about investing in medical maruajua sales/tracking systems on FM95.5 today (Atlanta's talk radio Rush/Hannity station). This really threw me off because I thought all drugs were the scourge of the earth, especially that Devil-weed. Unless it's a great investment opportunity.

Dr Christmas posted:drat, "Where's the outrage over Chris Lane, Obama/Al Sharpton/the media?!" is pretty much every show on Fox now, isn't it? Well, yesterday, Rush devoted an entire segment to how those two teenage kids who shot the Australian guy out of "boredom" loved rap and posted violent rappers and poo poo on their Facebook pages. The mainstream media (excuse me, "drive-by media") is too cowardly to report this and Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton are too scared to say anything, apparently. So not only are we all the way back to Marilyn Manson and Columbine (and KISS and Judas Priest and Ozzie and NWA and Elvis and Alice Cooper and The Beatles and the Stones, etc.), where we blame music for the lovely behavior of teens, we're also back to the point where "no black leaders denounce violent rap music". But they do, Rush. All the time. The dog whistling in that segment was deafening and Rush assured us "they weren't listening to right wing radio", which could never have an effect on anyone I guess. Only rap, hip hop, metal and certain rock bands can do that.

Seriously the kids in these places are just dangerously, pathologically bored and made of anomie. It's the old South, but everywhere. If it's being undercovered, it's because the Australian media is totally preoccupied with their federal election in a few weeks.
