Woofer posted:I’m admittedly stupid and didn’t know what work sets you free was referencing so I’m here to say the history curriculum in this country sucks Not being an rear end when I ask this, where did you go to school? I'm yet to find a textbook that doesn't have the picture and explanation for the phrase. I've seen school texts from a half dozen different states, and not a single one didn't have it and cover it. I'm asking, because I'm legit shocked. I know there are half rear end schools, and half rear end teachers, but this surprised the poo poo out of me. Again, legit, not intending to be an rear end in a top hat.

I didn't realize this was so common. My view is also skewed by the fact that I never had to put effort into history, and CLEP'd every history course available. History was always my thing. I know what my teacher's covered, but I guess I covered more by actually reading my textbooks when my classmates didn't. My teacher spent an entire semester on WW1/WW2/Fall of Colonialism because he felt it was more important than covering the American Revolution half assed again. My son's teacher does a two week unit on Rebellion in America. I like him. We live very close to Gettysburg, so I always get worried, but he covered it pretty accurately, for the age group. Destroys the State's Rights Revisionism. E- Doc Hawkins posted:wow can we please tone down the guillotine jokes I didn't do French Barber Correspondence courses for nothing.

So I saw someone post (it got lost in a random refresh) that the new PresSec has a whole bunch of old Social Media posts that are... Unflattering to Trump. Will she keep her job? Or will she go Way of the Mooch? Find out next Infrastructure Week.

Mr. Nice! posted:David Bowie hosed a lot of teenagers. He was wrong to do so. You don't have a bunch of women saying that he raped them because they wanted to gently caress him. That's what I was trying to say. I get what your meaning, but it's still rape.

Mr. Nice! posted:Agreed. I'm not arguing it isn't and apologize if I came across that way. I was just trying to answer the question of why we don't hear about it as much. I've seen enough of your posting to not jump to being a dick immediately. My comment wasn't a jab so much as an attempt to make sure everyone is on the same page. We are all clumsy or bad with words.

PeterCat posted:Do these guys often run into conflicts with municipal police departments and state troopers? And since the sheriff's in England derived their power from the King, how does that work in America? We don't have nobility, and the head of state is the President. They are elected by the local populace in elections, and are full law enforcement officers. For more fun- in some jurisdictions, you don't need to have any experience or training in LE to be elected. Same with judges. A Judge, legally speaking, doesn't need any legal training. Lol.

Proud Christian Mom posted:You can tell if someone has ever lived in a metropolitan area by their reaction to a 20 minute drive. I mean gently caress I used to drive 20 minutes just to get a really good burger in DFW. It's weird how related rural and urban driving are. "I want a burger"- 20 minutes stop and go to go five miles and cross a bridge; Urban "I want a burger"- 20 minutes at 75 on a rural route to go 35 miles for a Mcdouble; Rural

My biggest takeaway has been the absolute failure of the American Public School system. The amount of people who do not understand basic concepts of math, science, and medicine- in areas that should be covered in school has broke my brain. That and that 30% of America are cultists with no views beyond what dear leader tells them.

While I disagree with it (feeling that bitch is like dude, and gender neutral), McNally asked us not to use gendered insults. It's his house, his rules. I slipped up, he was nice enough to toss a warning than a sixer. I appreciate it.

Lemniscate Blue posted:Dick Cheney thought war was a net positive for Dick Cheney and gave zero shits about humankind as a whole. In Annie Jacobson's book, 'Surprise, Kill, Vanish', she said that elements of the Bush admin- Cheney in particular, but she also named Rumsfeld- were trying to get into Forever Wars within 9 days of 9/11. Within 9 days, Cheney ordered the CIA to find reasons to 'go to war' with Iraq, Iran, and Syria- in addition to AFG. loving monsters.

Midjack posted:Using kids as human shields and gambling on protesters not wanting to hurt them seems like a bad game. Real talk- I will Spartan Kick a child if it keeps them from enlisting. If someone hosed with just one of those kids, the others would break and run. They shouldn't be there. People should start using public records and block police from returning to their homes. Just human chain around that poo poo.
