As someone who was homeschooled for three years for non-religious reasons, I can tell you that, in my anecdotal experience, the majority of homeschooled children are at home for religious reasons. We once went to a local textbook fair with the local homeschool group to buy books for the upcoming school year and my mother and I ended up as pariahs because the American history text we bought wasn't the highly recommended book that explained how America was founded by God. We parted ways with the homeschool group not too long after that and a strong of other incidents.

Nah, they let them participate in their local schools usually.
It's weird like that.

Public schools let us join in on science fairs and what not. But it wasn't always pleasant. The public school parents used to complain that homeschool kids had an unfair advantage because we could spend all our days preparing our projects but their kids had other things to do. I suppose it could be true, but in my case, I also had other things to do.

I don't get it. Why does maxamericana keep having to fire liberals after every election? Why does he hire horrible, awful liberals? Why doesn't he just hire conservatives? It seems like a waste of time.

And don't worry freep, we here in CT don't get much in the way of federal funds for you to take away from us over UConn. Most of our federal tax dollars go straight to the south.

A classic. There was also a freeper who surprisingly visited Chicago but hated it because there were too many Islam bookstores (there's like two). And this story resurfaced in the Chicago thread:

http://nymag.com/selectall/2016/08/homeless-youtube-couple-flees-chicago-after-one-day.html

Not freepers, but a 19yo married YouTube couple with stupid names, moved to Chicago and left after a day when a homeless minority was kinda weird to them. The video they posted about it is a true marvel.

I get into this argument with my parents. My dad is from NYC and my mom from Edinburgh in Scotland but they both watch fox and end up buying a lot of the culture war nonsense about statues being our history etc. I am in favor of removing the participation trophies to rebellious losers. They always retort with "But your BA is in history! You of all people should want to keep them in place." My response is always that we should keep the battlefields intact and protected, things like the confederate Whitehouse etc because they're history and can inform. Statues are to honor something. We don't honor evil. The Germans have KLs still around as history and warning. They have no statues to nazis around nor do they fly the nazi flag as "heritage." They have a very powerful and unsettling memorial to the victims of nazism in a very prominent place in Berlin (if you ever are there, go at twilight, very spooky). They've never been able to debate those points.

Both of my parents subscribe to the "choice" view of homosexuality and when I asked them why you'd choose to do something that is going to get you persecuted, their response was that all the gay men or women they know had a bad and abusive childhood which caused it. It's an interesting hybrid rationalization.

Freep-adjacent, but one of the Chuds I went to college with just posted again on Facebook that he's upset with the taxes in Connecticut and wants to move. He has 2 autistic kids and is a stay-at-home dad while his wife works as a nurse. He says he wants to move to, "A red state. Someplace that has good jobs, good schools, and good services for autism."

Sooo he wants to move somewhere that has low taxes and also the things that taxes pay for.

Whereabouts in CT?

And what exactly is he complaining about? We actually try to provide reasonable social services. I work in them.

The internet has enabled it to become the Grand Unified Conspiracy Theory. They're desperate to find some known, external cause for all the things that aren't going right in order to deal with the disappointment in Trump not being competent enough to keep his word and follow through. If they admit to themselves that he is, was, and always will be a fraud, where does that leave their worldview?

If the Dems manage to get their poo poo together and win in 2020, I both can't wait to drink freeper tears and also can't wait to create a survival bunker for the inevitable chud violence.

They could just go "This Trump guy said all the right things but didn't follow through. Let's get a new guy."
