  1. Re:They rejected 16% salary increase over 4 years on Chicago Teachers Rip 'Big Money Interest Groups' · · Score: 1

    That's about the same percentage of college graduates that have no clue they've just been through four years of leftist indoctrination. Education? They don't need no stinkin' education, they need indoctrination.

    Yes, exactly, that's why no politician ever leaves college with right-ist views! Oh, wait...

    OR perhaps they were powerless to fix it due to the fact that if they did do something, the unions would have complained.

    Where the hell did you pull that argument from?

    Of course, I don't even know that unions serve a real purpose, anymore. We no longer employ twelve year old kids for sixteen hours a day in dangerous machine shops for a nickel an hour and anyone who has been wronged can seek out legal representation.

    How do you think we got those rights? How are we supposed to maintain them? There has to be a balance, no excess of power on either the amployer's side or the worker's side.

    Right, so unions are bad... why? What is wrong with people banding together for greater negotiating power against organisations that already have an excess of negotiating power?

    Hopefully the CTU can take a few steps back towards an education system which isn't brought to you by McCorporation Inc (TM All rights reserved).

    He's 7, chances are he doesn't know any better than 'clunky emulators' and 'slow response time'. FWIW, I say get him an old ZX-81/Spectrum/Amstrad and some magazines.

  14. Re:Suprising how? on The Motivated Rejection of Science · · Score: 1

    You do realise that your credibility degrades every time that you fail to spell 'climatologist' correctly? Do you also realise that you have no expertise in the field of climatology and have very little right to comment on what climatologists "should" be doing? Potentially you also realise (but I doubt it) that politics and science is inextricably linked when business is involved?

    Without having studied this particular issue, I'm guessing that that is why the answer is correct only 50% of time under ideal circumstances. It can be 5x3=15 or 3x5=15 (so it could've been either). Perhaps someone more involved with quantum algorithms can correct me on this?

    Who cares about the advertisers? The less knowledgable users of the web can subsidise everyone else (at no cost to themselves) by viewing the advertising. I have the means to avoid it. If I want something then I'll go and look for it and do some independent research, if I don't know about 'it' then chances are I didn't need it and would be wasting my money buying it.
