disheveled posted:I was going to stay out of this, but you were aggressive enough to deserve a response: I'm not sure what kind of biologist you are but anyone working within systematics/ecology would find some knowledge of Latin to be useful. This isn't to say that you need four years of Latin to do your job, but it certainly makes initial identification of organisms easier at times since the latin name generally hints at major morphological features, and common names can be rather imprecise for research purposes anyhow.

I was wondering what they would push for charges beyond normal protester bookings, but I didn't quite expect new legislation already. Former state trooper isn't surprising though, MA state troopers are all dickheads.

I don't understand how Charlie Baker says the focus of his governing will be to close the budget deficit, then his first act in office is to release a bunch of transportation money to towns that Deval Patrick said the state couldn't afford. Am I missing something? I'm not complaining, I think the roads around here need work, but it doesn't really make sense.

Learning an entirely new language for at most 500 parts of the body is amazingly inefficient. Plus you're absolutely boned when they use terms like the "Innominate" artery or use the colloquial term like "pec major" or get asked what nerve goes to the serratus anterior and you don't know because you can't figure out what muscle looks like a saw and the answer is the long thoracic nerve

I don't understand the "learn Latin because Latin words are useful" argument. How is that not the same logic that gives you computer science majors whining incessantly about the one core social science class? Wouldn't it be better categorized as social studies anyway?

The Warszawa posted:Considering the two-pronged history of parochial schools in the US, I'm not sure that comparison helps you. Charters are a policy tool to increase rates of gentrification and retention of human capital, not a policy tool to directly increase educational achievement. By increasing rates of gentrification and retention of human capital, third-order impacts increase rates of educational achievement in public schools. Chantilly Say posted:MIGF, how do you feel about for-profit prisons? Charter prisons, if you will. I put money in for-profit prisons before I took money out of for-profit prisons. I made an informed investment in '07 that privitized prisons would do well with the collapse of the housing market. Privitized prisons are vital to the downstate economy. I think its a shame that European nations refuse to save on prison costs by sending their incarcerated individuals to Illinois prisons, and would be most accepting of Anders Brevik being shipped to an Illinois prison. Privitized prisons aren't a tool for best-practices incarceration management, they're a Keynesian investment in downstate.

It took Nixon to go to China, just like it'd take Romney to crack down on tax evasion, corporate loopholes, and income inequality in America. By god, Romney has learned from 2012. He understands that 49% will win you POTUS and they'll love you for it, whereas 51% will hate you and your weird, mormon robot ways.

Look to Rauner and see if he raises taxes on legal services and financials in Chicago. If he does, perhaps Romney/Rauner could be a double Nixon-goes-to-China.

Romney and his team know that his policies are unpopular so they try to dress them up in liberal terms. It doesn't work though and leaves no-one happy.

Fox was on the TV as I passed by and I heard some choice quotes from whoever the guy on the screen is regarding Obama allowing 2 years of free college for good grades. "Why not free 4 years? Why not free masters, free PhDs? Why stop there!?!?!" He also called it an "un-American gimmick". He's not wrong.

If only they'd quit getting killed by cops and focused on important poo poo like shutting up about them getting killed by cops *keeps twisting like a corkscrew, babbling* I deleted my Facebook a long time ago.

By increasing rates of gentrification and retention of human capital, third-order impacts increase rates of educational achievement in public schools. This is a stone-cold retarded way to fund schools. Negative effects of charter schools aside, why not equalize existing school funding, or just increase funding for poorer schools? For the community, why not directly implement strong social programs? If the only thing that's going to keep rich idiots around (setting aside the assumption that's beneficial) is a second school that has, as you're admitting, no actual advantages over public schools, what happens when everyone figures that out?
