The asians have a long history of doing very well in this country while maintaining a strong sense of ethnic identity. The African American culture came out of slavery and Jim Crow laws, so I can't see being a subjugated people really fostering a go get em attitude. If you got feisty as a black in the south back 70 years ago, you got lynched. No surprise they stopped trying.
The first comment bringing race in was pretty reasonable. African American culture rejects education (poor white culture rejects education too). This is true. But this is a social constraint as near as we can tell, not a genetic one. You're just being a stupid racist.
There is not evidence to support the claim that any specific race is smarter than another. There is however science that supports the claim that some races might be smarter than others (Labradors vs Border Collies, still the same species).
At my middle school the dummies in administration let a politician running for governor talk at us. He was a republican though. Other than that, I've never had teachers in public education promote any candidate.
Didn't you get the memo. Supposedly they've become the "Party of no".
The only thing conservatives can claim are low taxes (if you make a lot more than me) and security. The only attack from fundamentalist muslims in the history of this country happened under a Republican watch though.:-/
Teachers work harder than you 9 months a year. Taking 1.5 months off (it's about 2.5 months for the students, but the teachers have clean up, seminars, and set up in that time) is something that we really shouldn't begrudge them.
I read that you hated nuclear plants and thought they were fundamentally unsafe and a bad idea because a design flaw caused one to break. Sorry if I was wrong;-)
I figured your point was symptomatic of people fearing "x" because of a few anecdotal events despite the actual safety numbers (like people who are scared of flying despite the lower deaths per mile).
And the real solution to this is to make different server settings for different communities.
What? There are people who enjoy the idea of botting? Let them run bots of Gnomergan. What? There are people who hate all mods? Okay, no mods on Onyxia. What? There are people who want death to be permanent? Okay, death kills you for good on Deadmines.
Hi. What's your hobby? It sounds like a fucking waste of time to me though, just a preemptive FYI. (No, I don't play WoW, I quit, but I don't use my old WoW time being productive, I entertain myself with other also useless things).
No, I don't agree that cheap gas is good. Cheap gas = larger cars = more emissions. Also, cheaper gas = lower price point green alternatives have to compete with. You say "until alternative cars become affordable", but the cheaper gas is, the longer that takes.
I've always been baffled by the need to make every franchise game SUCK.:-/ I don't get it. Seems like you could get a reputation for doing good franchise games and make lots of money if you actually made good games.
Regardless of the laws, BAC should probably be as close to zero-tolerance as is feasible due to non-drink products that contain trace amounts of alcohol, so I'd be less than pleased if they got off because they might have been as low as 0.075 BAC instead of the 0.08 the hardware tested them at.
From Wikipedia: Some critics equate too much corporate power and influence with fascism. Often they cite a quotation attributed to Mussolini: "Fascism should more properly be called corporatism because it is the merger of state and corporate power." Several variations of the alleged quotation exist. However, no text written by Mussolini has yet been found with any variation of the alleged quotation.[32] Despite this, the alleged quotation has entered into modern discourse, and it appears on thousands of web pages,[33] and in books,[34] and even an alternative media advertisement in the Washington Post.[35] However, the alleged quotation contradicts almost everything else written by Mussolini on the subject of the relationship between corporations and the Fascist State.[32]

Unions make it harder to fire bad employees.
Morality. Just pass the school budget and stop whining.
Apparently that doesn't work.
Hi. I'd like to tell you about http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prohibition_in_the_United_States
As you might be aware, we're currently repeating history with pot. Aren't we fucking smart? People need way more history, because they vote.
Teachers work harder than you 9 months a year. Taking 1.5 months off (it's about 2.5 months for the students, but the teachers have clean up, seminars, and set up in that time) is something that we really shouldn't begrudge them.
I know I certainly shy away from the $20K pay cut I'd take switching to teaching. I'd love to teach, but that's a lot of money.

Tada.
IP is still a blanket evil with the small exception of company names and logos (a la trademark).
Before I quit I was playing almost exclusively for mount collection... Then they took two reward mounts out with the last patch so I quit. :-/

Several people died? http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/5174391/
If you have a problem with a nuclear facility and you kill 10 people, that says you're doing it correctly (Chernobyl is doing it wrong).

Well, one can explode and wipe out the polar bears for good. :-/
We won't be happy 'til bears don't come in that color anymore I guess.

Or you can tell another story in the same universe?

A little bit of paint would destroy the camera in a semi-permanent way. I'd recommend that.
