But you see, in Australia its actually the native Aboriginal population that has all the advantages, like on all the forms where they can tick to get special treatment. And that's why all positions of power in australia are held by Indigenous Australians.

I like South Africa's founding myths. Oh! White people just happened to arrive and start farming and mining at the exact time black people were migrating south into the same completely empty lands so we were here first and then the Zulus came you see.

Oh, those ancient ruins over here in the Transvaal? Well, just look at the sophisticated building techniques, must have been done by an ancient race of native white people, the Biblical city of the fair Queen of Sheba, because we all know these Bantus can't conceive of anything more impressive than a mud hut, eh my bru? :clint:

I wish it was a joke. I gave Ron Paul maybe $10 back in 2008 and I still get e-mails. One of the recent ones was an AR-15 giveaway. Others talk about how the evil IRS is making Dr. Paul's Campaign for Liberty disclose their campaign donors, and dastardly statist plans to limit their freedom of speech because they are a tax-exempt organization.

It still disappoints me that it's 2014 and not only have we not prosecuted anybody who made the call to use torture in the Bush administration, but also a war criminal is a "leader" of one of the two major political parties. gently caress you Allen West. :(

No see Obama needed to look forward, not back. If he had prosecuted war criminals, he would never have been able to forge compromises with the Republicans to pass important legislation. Criminal charges would have driven them insane with paranoia and resentment, and they would have spent the last five years on obstructing him every step of the way and trying to impeach him.

Now let me tell you how the US economy can only survive on a foundation of never prosecuting financial fraud or money laundering...

No president is ever going to investigate the prior administration for crimes because then every administration after would just be a long-rear end chain of investigating the prior administration for any dirt they can possibly dig up.

No I understand. Just think if Clinton had gone after Reagan for treason: the Republicans would have spent his whole administration digging up any dirt they could find to impeach him no matter how ridiculous and petty it made the country look.

Had Clinton gone after Reagan for treason, Republicans would still be going after Clinton for sexual misconduct. Which I am not sure I would be that set against, now that I think about it; having sex with your subordinates is a big no-no, as I see it.

Clinton couldn't go after anyone in Iran-Contra because Bush already pardoned them. Presidents don't want to prosecute their predecessors because they don't want to find themselves on the dock when their term is over.

It's about as much of their standard education as taking Spanish/French is for most high school students that take it in the US. They end up forgetting most of the grammar, but remembering a few nouns, stock phrases, and greetings. The Japanese education system in terms of English education lags very very significantly behind the English education efforts in China and Korea. They recently changed the education standards a little bit to push real English education earlier, but kids basically don't start actually learning any English until middle school. By that point you can still teach a kid a second language if they're very motivated, but it takes like 10x more work.

The overarching effect is not really that people end up speaking English, but that they end up using a lot more English loanwords when speaking Japanese. It also leads to a weird offshoot dialect of English that is primarily cultivated by the Japanese textbook industry that fills the English textbooks with 95% Japanese text then never has a native speaker look at any of the phrases.

Is this about the struggles of poverty? Hmm, let's read the article.

quote:

This blog post is a bit of a rant and it’s a bit all over the place. My kids are NOT the center of my world, and that’s quite simply because they aren’t the center of any world, anywhere...

Okayyyy...

quote:

He gathered the action figure, the mask that goes with him, and the yellow drill and proudly told me he’d chosen that for Show & Tell. Then, you could see him thinking. And he promptly changed his mind and said to me, “You know what, I better not take this. My teacher will probably think it’s a gun, and then I’ll get in trouble,” put the action figure back, and chose something else.

I often think about the world my boys will grow up in. I often get angry when I think about it. This particular situation just furthered those emotions for me.

So her son learned to think through the consequences of his actions, having a hard time seeing the problem...

quote:

There was a time – not too long ago – when bullying was defined as slamming someone up against a locker and stealing their lunch money. There was a time when kids got called names and got picked on, and they brushed it off and worked through it (ask me how I know this). Now, if Sally calls Susie a bitch (please excuse my language if that offends you), Susie’s whole world crumbles around her, she contemplates suicide, and this society encourages her to feel like her world truly has ended, and she should feel entitled to a world-wide pity party. And Sally – phew! She should be jailed! She should be thrown in juvenile detention for acting like – gasp – a teenage girl acts.

Oh, there it is. "Why can't I call people bitches and faggots and niggers in 2014's pussified America :qq:"

That whole article is about attacking a strawman of other parents that the author conjures up and then rails against. 'I raise my children this way which is obviously the right way and other parents are doing it the wrong way and it's going to ruin a generation. Why? Because I said so.' It's bigger than this talking strawman, goddamn:



Lady, as far as I can tell from your blog post you aren't someone who works in the study of child-rearing or child psychology. You're just some mom who thinks she knows better than this bizarre hosed up caricature of everyone else. It's not some stupid loving contest, and no one else gives a poo poo how you are totally not going to let YOUR CHILDREN be like those OTHER CHILDREN. :wrongful:
