"Those who can do, those who can't teach."

Fuck You. Public education is failing because of assholes like you. I don't know a single teacher that recommends entering the profession because of this type of bullshit.

Blame teachers for all social problems, and go out of your way to pass laws to restrict their right to unionize. Make sure that teachers have no due process, and no professional respect. Be sure to siphon off money to for-profit charter schools who often do not teach high school students because extra curriculars are more expensive. Don't hold charter schools accountable when they mishandle public funds, fail to report progress numbers to the State, or refuse to provide services to special education students. Couple that with abysmal pay and benefits in most districts, and the reality is that there is a massive shortage of teachers across the U.S.

Try teaching kids who are hungry, exhausted, and homeless. Students who have no support at home, and nobody to advocate for them fall easily through the cracks. Everything revolves first and foremost around the parents, but many have abdicated their responsibility long before a student meets a teacher.

Take some time out of your important life to volunteer in a school and you will see the reality of the situation. If public education is failing it is precisely because you are not there to make a difference.

Actually they are fascists that think themselves marxists.

Let's review two stories from yesterday's Nazi rally in Florida:

1) Antifa protester hugs Nazi: http://www.nydailynews.com/new...

"The man who hugged a Nazi outside Richard Spencer’s speech at the University of Florida on Thursday said, “I could have hit him, I could have hurt him ... but something in me said, ‘You know what? He just needs love.’”

A man wearing a T-shirt emblazoned with swastikas on Thursday was surrounded by a crowd of protesters who screamed, punched and spat on him before Aaron Courtney gave him a hug.

Courtney, a 31-year-old high school football coach in Gainesville, yelled, “Why don’t you like me, dog?” as he wrapped his arms around the Nazi in a video that quickly went viral on social media.

The Nazi was later identified as Randy Furniss."

2) Three Neo-Nazis charged with attempted murder after firing guns into a crowd of protesters:

https://www.thedailybeast.com/...

"The three men pulled up next to a bus stop while leaving the neo-Nazi talk and started yelling Nazi slogans and cheering Adolf Hitler, according to The Gainesville Sun. That’s when the allegedly victim hit the car with a baton. Tenbrink reportedly pulled a handgun and got out of the car while the other two men yelled, “I’m going to fucking kill you,” and “Shoot them.” The shot missed and struck a nearby building."

No, Antifa is not "as bad as the Nazis". Nobody's as bad as the Nazis. Because they're Nazis.

Yes. Lots of other variables. It appears that dude was firing from 1200 yards away using what is referred to as plunging fire. It also appears he may have had a full auto. Bad situation all around for those in the beaten zone. 280 bullets in 31 seconds is a hell of count.

Quick breakdown:

Just look at smoking-related deaths

Or all those resulting from the government-imposed "War on Fat"... Why, shouldn't it be criminal to even produce the murderous butter, much less offer it to children?

After all, the sites visited could have been supportive of Trump.

Hell, maybe they even refrained from calling Trump a RAAAAACIST NAZI!!!!.

Can't have that, now can we? I mean, such unhinged right-wing speech is in fact violence, isn't it?

(You really believe "progressives" aren't that bad? Well, guess what? You're WRONG. "Progressives" are actually targeting Taylor Swift for not using her popularity to tell everyone how to "think" - better stated as "drink the progressive kool-aid" )

Wait, you're saying the rest of English speakers in the U.S., at least, all write with perfect spelling and grammar? No, probably not. Terse, misspelled messages on the internet seem to be the norm. Besides whatever that cheetohead-in-chief writes.

What are her qualifications for the job? She has a law degree and MBA from Harvard.

Also,

“Jessica has a progressive point of view on the role data systems and technology should play at the NYPD,” Bratton said in a statement.

Whatever that means.

Yeah, no way anyone could beat a cop unconscious with their bare hands.

Next time you can try to subdue the 230lb gorilla high out of his gourd on Meth then... Let me know how that works out for you. When tasers don't work, you get this: http://www.nydailynews.com/new...

Tasers are also more often used by female officers. Should we ban female officers because they don't have the physical strength to subdue 50% of the male population? https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/p...

A category 4 hurricane just hit the Texas coast and our President still hasn't appointed anyone to head the Department of Homeland Security, FEMA, or any of the agencies that deal with hurricanes.

Today, as he flew off on a golfing trip to Camp David, he was asked if he had a message for the people of Texas. His reply was, "Good luck".

http://www.nydailynews.com/new...

If Trump appointed Brock Long to head Fema you'd be lying.

Oh wait... you are!

And wonder of wonders, Brock is not incompetent!.

Also, Democrats are slowing down the confirmation process so that at the current rate, congress will get through all of Trump's nominations in 11 years (!).

Also also, the senate pulled a parliamentary trick to block Trump recess appointments.

Be sure to blame all of that on Trump!

the Right is _much_ better at violence than the Left.

Then why don't the White Supremacists hold their rallies on the West Side of Chicago?

No, when the Right holds its rallies, they go on fucking college campuses where they're totally protected by militarized police and the worst thing they're going to face is a liberal arts major with a sign or some music major with a tuba, and they still end up sitting on the ground crying (if you need a link to a neo-Nazi sitting on the ground crying, let me know).

The reason the Right thinks it's better at violence than the Left is that it's never been put to the test. The Right likes to cosplay tough, but in the streets they're little pussies unless they find some black teenager in a parking garage and outnumber him six to one.

Income from a lemonade stand is already taxable. Check www.irs.gov.

Also, you are required to get a city permit (let's just call that a flat tax) in many places: http://www.nydailynews.com/lif...

Taxes are literally everywhere. It's just the amount and to whom that changes.

No, BLM is recognised as a Black Power movement.

By who? Is there an accreditation board somewhere? What criteria did they meet? Mysteriously, you don't identify any.

93% of Black homicides are committed by black people (84% of homicides against white people are committed by whites; while this is only a 10% difference, in the population sizes, a vast amount more white people are killed by non-whites than the other way round.

Mysteriously, you use percentages, not numbers, otherwise you'd have to admit a vast amount is....around 300.

Easily explained by the difference in population, and not particularly meaningful. No matter how much you want it to be.

If Black Lives Matter, then to get the biggest return, they need to address the (probably cultural, gangsta, edgy, which is so popular it's practically mainstream) issues in their own community first.

What issues are those, and why do you think they matter? Maybe you should address how people think it is a fabrication?

But that'd not get any political points and headlines. So nobody does it, or is even allowed to speak about it.

What are you talking about? It gets headlines, and lots of political points. Mysteriously, of course, you want to complain about that because it gets you political points. And you know what, people talk about it.

Maybe you should stop with your talking point where you claim they don't. Those points aren't even worth it.

Now if they allow crowd funding for legal funds of black people accused of murdering other people, with this weight of observable evidence in the public domain, then they get strung up for hypocrisy, as you rightfully put.

You'd also have to string up the folks who complained about money given to support Mumia Abu-Jamal. I wonder how many of them changed their tunes. Mysteriously.

Starving artist living hand to mouth gives 1 million dollars to charity

So, where's your donation, Mr Talented Businessman?

“I’m one of the richest New Yorkers there is, and after today’s outcome it’s going to stay that way,” the snarky Shkreli declared. “And, uh, it feels pretty good.”

He later invited a Daily News reporter into his home for an exclusive sitdown where he put the odds of serving even a modest prison sentence at 50/50.

“But hey, if the government wants to spend tens of millions of dollars and that’s all I get ...” he said.

Ones written in cuneiform and baked in clay.

Because that's the oldest recorded repeat of this complaint.

Do you have a citation of that? Because that's pretty cool.

I'm not sure if KiloByte is referencing the same source, but there is at least one Sumerian cuneiform tablet that contains an example of a pupil making fun of their instructor (apologies for the quality, it was the best I could find). There is also an example of what is claimed to be the world's oldest Yo Momma joke. People of all generations are not so dissimilar.

Fascinating, Your engineers would have a short time on the job compared to the ones I've worked with. Yours is like the guy who drove around a lot of barriers and road closed signs to plunge off a bridge that was no longer there because his GPS told him to. http://www.nydailynews.com/new... . No, not everyone is like that.

I think you are misinterpreting my point. A Tesla engineer is not going to perform a detailed analysis of the Australian grid requirements unless he is directed to by the people that pay him. They actually have other stuff to work on, believe it or not. If you think that selling doesn't often happen before the required engineering in many cases, you haven't been around much.

Well you better go tell Mr Musk! Some random guy on Slashdot can save the day again by giving all of the engineers and scientists working for him some really basic information that they no doubt have completely overlooked.

Actually I would not be surprised. Engineers will only look at something if assigned to do it. There actually have been similar mistakes made by battery product engineers in the past. Does Musk already have the requirements specification from the utility? I doubt it.

You could choose to just quit being an asshole and work to bring people together, realize that most people have far more in common than not, but no. You choose to ridicule and insult anyone different than you.

The shooter didn't vocalize his complaints, so we resort to "left-wing wacko". What if he wasn't?

Well, maybe not vocalize, but here's a picture of one of his complaints.

He was a member of several anti-GOP Facebook groups, including "Terminate the Republican Party" and "The Road to Hell is Paved with Republicans."

And here's one of his facebook postings

Trump is a Traitor. Trump Has Destroyed Our Democracy. It's Time to Destroy Trump & Co.,

He also volunteered for the Sander's campaign. It seems pretty clear he steers a little toward the left on the political spectrum, but judge for yourself...

Would we have the same reaction if he was an average guy that thought he had no other options?

Maybe, maybe not, but I don't engage in hypotheticals..

But overall, there are too many idiots on both sides that refuse to listen to the other sides ideas

Do not attempt to make a false equivalence here. The only reason it might seem that way is because one side has a massive persecution complex fed by an outrage machine dedicated to hyping that noise for profit and the other 'side' (described as the reality-based community by Karl Rove) treat such as cases as just another minor news event.

On 21 February 2017 the New York City Medical Examiner's Office released the preliminary results of an autopsy performed on Churkin, which states that the cause of death needed further study, which often indicates the need for toxicology tests.[21] A gag order issued in March pursuant to a request of the U.S. State Department suppressed release of the cause of death, citing Churkin's ongoing posthumous diplomatic immunity.[22] Churkin was posthumously awarded the Russian Order of Courage on 21 February 2017[23] and the Order of the Serbian Flag 1st class.[24]

Hey Komahaa goon, you forgot to wipe that wikipedia page! (hrm, maybe I should've taken russian instead of chinese in high school)

Not thoughtcrime. Willfully distributing FALSE STATEMENTS. That's a crime in the USA also. The only thing new here is that the court ruled that the LIKE button qualifies as distribution of false statements. This wasn't about opinion. This was about not doing the fact checking before spreading lies.

Here in the wilds of America, "liking" something on Facebook is considered "free speech"

https://www.washingtonpost.com...

It is considered analogous to having a bumper sticker. And make no mistakes, opinions can be wrong, but there is no law against having a stupid or false opinion.

Now what you are not allowed to do on Facebook here in the hinterlands is threaten physical violence aganst someone - just like anywhere else. Libel laws are also in play. But for the person who actually performs threatening or the libel. Harassment can also be prosecuted, such as the man who "liked" some facebook pages of an ex girlfriend who had a restraining order against him - he was forbidden any and all contact with her, and that's contact that was not allowed him. http://www.nydailynews.com/new... Basically anything that would be a crime or offense outside Facebook works inside Facebook.

But no, we heathens do not arrest people for having an opinion. We may have some issues, just like Europeans have some serious ones, but we allow people to speak their mind - or press the like button. You might want people fined, jailed or killed for their opinions, but we don't.

It isn't Trump supporters? Really? They were chanting “Russia is our friend" - it sure seems like they were Trump supporters.

I wasn't implying that much, but I wouldn't consider that as too implausible, either. After all, Putin's Russia has a vested interest in those populist movements gaining hold in EU and USA (at least Front National is being fueled by credits from... Russian banks; in Germany, it's Russian media blowing up -- and even inventing stories of harassment and rape of "western" women by "immigrants". Yadda yadda).

And then there are things like this [1]. I'd take each one of those with a fist of salt, since there's disinformation and dis-disinformation (and so on), but given the question "cui bono?" has such a clear answer (and knowing Putin's past) I wouldn't dismiss that either. On the contrary: had I to bet, I'd sure know where to put my money.

To sum up, the point I was trying to make was: "if you hear a loud thumping, first look out for elephants, although frogs might be more fun :-)"

I do see the violence on the right but I do make a distinction between actions v words and lone wolfs v groups.

Actually, what you do is try to embrace a false sanctimony as you fail to admit to the violent organizations on the right, from the Bundy Ranch militias, the Respect the Flag group, the Huttaree, and even the various Tea Party groups and others on the right-wing clamoring for a revolution. Which included Donald Trump, in 2012, with his infamous Tweetstorm.

If you want to admit to them, then fair enough, go ahead and condemn them. Say they're deplorable. Say they're repugnant. Say they're dangerous.

I don't blame the Chicago kidnapping on the left anymore than I blame the Charleston shooting on the right.

Yes, yes, you already made it clear that you want to ignore how Dylan Roof is merely one among many on the right espousing such views, but that won't make it not a fact that "they do exist in abundance.

Sorry, but Dylan Roof wasn't merely some lone isolated nut following the beat of a drum only he could hear, there's a whole marching band.

By their fruits we know them.

As for the rest of your diarrhea... try harder.

I will, you're not worth giving up on. You deserve to be informed. You deserve to have the strength of character you need to admit the truth. You can have the fortitude to boldly proclaim that the shit stinks all around. It's a dysentery that

"At least we didn't cozy up to the religious right, spawn the TEA partiers, and elect a cheeto."

So instead of cozying up to the religious right (the group of people who founded, and fought and died to create the country that you live in and benefit from http://www.freerepublic.com/fo... ), spawned the Tea party (a grass roots set of peaceful organizations fed up with Washington politics and liberal overreach who left their protest and event grounds cleaner than when they arrive http://www.thegatewaypundit.co... ) and elected president Trump (the only non-politician citizen running for the office this last election cycle). Instead of doing all that, which you somehow think is horrendous, the left spawned:

-The sometimes violent/rapist Occupy movement that caused mass disruptions and cost large cities millions of dollars to clean up after http://www.nydailynews.com/new...
-The violent, rioting, police and law and order hating, racist Black Lives Matter group who were founded on a lie in Fergusun http://www.newsmax.com/Newsfro... went on to inspire a man to mass murder police officers in Dallas https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... and generally hate law enforcement http://dailycaller.com/2015/08...
-The left has spawned violent riots over conservative speakers http://www.cnn.com/2017/02/01/...
-The left has disrupted and shouted down conservatives and their events and violently attacked Trump supporters. http://www.theblaze.com/news/2...

There seems to be a large contingent of rabid fascists on the left and an even larger cross section of lefies who are so secure in their moral superiority that reality cannot intrude. The fascist left had better tone it down or they may end up facing the national guard and lead bullets the next time they try to violently assault someone else's freedom to assemble/speak. The rest of the left had better start paying more attention to reality and pull their heads out of their collective echo chamber (or their asses, I can never tell which is which with them).

Based on this comparison, I will take the conservative approach any day of the week and twice on Sunday. You should focus less on name calling and more on staying abreast of actual actions committed by these groups, both left and right.

In the real human world you should prepare yourself to defend against attackers who don't respect other's body and safety.

The best defense is a good offense. A good offense disarms your opponent before they can hurt you.

Wouldn't you rather there not be any need to worry about being attacked in the first place?

Strangely enough, those that whine about "hate speech" are usually against having the means to defend against attackers, they'd rather everyone just be a victim.

Strangely enough, however, those that whine about the need to defend themselves tend to be hysterical, to the point where they spent 8 years desperately buying firearms for...no real reason. Panicky, idiotic people, who are so easily lead astray are the ones who make me the victim of their insanity.

That's the real humans in this world.

Ann Coulter was born in 1961, that makes her a Baby Boomer, or a Gen-Xer, depending on your lines. It can be a bit fuzzy, but she's in no way close to being a Millenial.

You should probably check your own "facts" better. Seriously, Coulter has been around since the nineties with her act. Which should probably tell you that your premises are false, of course, you could find the same pattern with recognition of McCartney, Birch, Hearst, Calhoun, or Davis, to name a few. There's nothing new about them(even individuals like Milo Yiannopolous and Ben Shapiro are just recent additions to the crowd), and no, they don't care about facts, that's why they can make things up, instead preferring their flippant hysteria and emotion laden rhetoric.

Even Fred Thompson knew about it.

PS, the Italian American community has long expressed distress about being characterized as being gang and criminal oriented, as have the Russians and Irish. And Hispanics. And Blacks. And...well, the list goes on.

Do yourself a favor and read up on the history of the rise of the S.S. you seem to like to throw the word Nazi and fascist around. The SS or SchutzStaffel were 'bodyguards' who went around attacking other candidates and their supporters of opposing political parties. I only see violent protests showing up repeatedly in the news coming from the Hillary group, and this predated even the run-up to the election. To violently attack, condone violent attacks, or looking the other was of said violent attacks, merely because you disagree with the opinions or WORDS that another person says is the same thing the SS did. Perhaps you are calling people Nazis and Intolerant because you suffer the psychological condition called PROJECTION.

The odd thing that no one examines is whether very many people/businesses have business dealings with those companies. Kind of like how people claim that confidence in our elections is justified, but no real investigation of the elections is done to enforce this. There are so many things that need to be done to be certain that people are on the up-and-up that simply aren't done and people have or lack belief in a given situation without the necessary work being done to grant certainty. We are living in a world of deliberate vagueness that people act as if they can be certain about.

There was no "deliberate vagueness" in my post. Trump does in fact have business dealings with those countries. I just didn't bother with the details. If you're interested, then look here.

I reviewed this article http://www.nydailynews.com/new... and found not a single mention of a death threat, let alone 180. You are apparently NOT responding to the same article that the person you replied to was.

Yeah, no danger at all. There have been no murders after Internet death threats. Oh wait, http://www.nydailynews.com/new...

You'd spend your days more profitably worrying about whether you'll choke to death.

So true. President George W. Bush was almost taken out by a pretzel: President George W. Bush fainted after choking on a pretzel in 2002

Pretzel's are sneaky and dangerous little fuckers.

Rudy Giuliani says Donald Trump came to him to create 'Muslim ban': 'Show me the right way to do it, legally'

- Green-card holders included in ban.
- Muslim travellers turned away from US after Donald Trump's ban as Google 'recalls overseas staff'.
- President Trump's Muslim ban excludes countries linked to his sprawling business empire.
- Donald Trump bans citizens of seven Muslim majority countries as visa-holding travellers are turned away from US borders.
- In Twitter, #muslimban has been quite active during the whole day (although its worldwide trend status is a bit unstable).

Without coming into the assessment of all this (including media coverage), my point is that things can happen very quickly and with the sole participation of Trump.

I have already written a lot (other comments in this thread) and think that my position is very clear. So, I hope that you will not mind me stopping the chat here.
