Post-modern gender politicians aren't the only people without jobs right now. The point I made is that things are different now than they were in the 70s regarding college education. Do you disagree? There was no such thing as a useless degree back then. Most 18 year olds are not coached on...
We are holding non-whites disproportionately responsible for their choices compared to whites, though. That's the point. There are very similar rates of drug use between whites and non-whites. But because of racial profiling in law enforcement, more non-whites than whites are imprisoned for the...
He was coached (or groomed, if you will) by her to agree to the sex in the first place. They exchanged hundreds of text messages. Besides, even if he had been the initiator, 12 is below the legal age of consent in any US state. It would have been her responsibility as the adult to say no, if...
Selling records doesn't make a singer good, it just makes them popular. Most of his fans are white women in the over-forty crowd. My mom, for example, absolutely adores the guy. I had to listen to the same 3 CDs for years in the car with her. That's why I hate him. The douchey haircut didn't...
Start job hunting. Get an offer in hand. Go into the boss's office and lay your cards on the table (he may refer you to the CEO, but let him do that). Tell them you are giving your 2 weeks' notice effective immediately unless they have a better counteroffer. You can bet your ass the CEO will...
The 2010's are not the 1970's, man. You cannot assume that conditions are the same for people today as they were in your youth. There are college-grads who can't get jobs anywhere, not even at McDonald's, because there aren't enough jobs anymore. A college degree used to guarantee a lifetime of...
Everyone (who is conservative and selfish) thinks this until they or a loved one comes down with a pre-existing condition. You don't care about that slice of the pie until it's time to reach your own hand out. Then you're all for it. What would you say to a 20 year old who contracts breast...
Personally, I think these studies are comparing apples to oranges. The US has massive cultural and religious heterogeneity that largely isn't a factor in Asia (outside of isolated expat communities). At the highest levels, we also turn out better critical thinkers due to our style of education...
There are cultural differences... Asian education may do well at the elementary and secondary levels, but international Asian students can be a nightmare at the university/post-grad level in US institutions. They learn by strict rote memorization, and think it's the height of intellect to copy...
This is not at all shocking due to the length of their relationship, and the fact that they had children in common. In states with a common-law marriage law on the books, they would have been considered married when it came to division of property during a breakup. Georgia had a common-law...
A 15-year-old child does not have legal or ethical agency over the fact that their parents are on welfare. The ability to have sex and squirt out a kid doesn't magically imbue a child with intelligence or knowledge of how to improve her own circumstances, either. Therefore, I don't see how...
I tried to PM DaveSimmons about my donation, but the board will not allow me to do so unless I have at least 25 posts. Can someone please give him a heads-up on my behalf?
EDIT: Never mind, I sent him an email. Hope that was ok!
My cousin was treated for muscular dystrophy at Riley's, and I'm getting in on this! Thank you for offering to match. I think that's the best way to make sure some of the bigger-ticket items get purchased. Also, I know I'm a new member; as such, I would be happy to forward along my order...
The truth is, learning and habits begin and end at home. It doesn't matter what's taught in school if a kid goes home and their parents feed them junk and let them sit around indoors all day.
How can you claim with any validity that every kid in the whole country had the same education you...
Being fat is not like cancer, that analogy is stupid. But there are a number of reasons a lot of people are obese that aren't within their conscious control. Many people are raised on fast food, were never taught proper nutrition or exercise habits, and increasingly work long hours at jobs that...
It's a mall, the provenance of young popular teenagers. And fat people didn't leave their houses more than necessary (and also avoided cameras) in the days before fat acceptance came into vogue.
If the university had a dress code in the first place, those students may have gone somewhere else. Do you know how much disposable income the average student has at their disposal? Certainly not enough to buy a whole new wardrobe in the middle of a semester.
Apparently you've never lived downwind of an ethanol plant. I have, and that shit is vile. I don't know how sriracha stacks up, but I would have loved it if that ethanol plant hadn't been so close to my collegetown :(
We do an on-call rotation where I work. One week of every 5 or 6, one of us answers customer emails from home after-hours. I actually take other people's weeks when they don't want to do it, but I really need the money.
