...also, it is totally possible that a group of terrorists might underestimate the risk of the disease spreading into their own country from the one they are targeting. Especially religious nutjobs are often not the brightest people around.
And why on earth would an anarchist have any more incentive to do this than terrorists? I don't think you understand what anarchism is about, but it's not about destroying and fscking up everything.
As for religious nutjobs, I bet some of them would just love the idea. After all, it don't matter what happens here, but what's in it for the afterlife - and killing a sh*tload of infidels would definitely earn one a prime seat in afterlife.
Actually there are companies that mandate you take an erased laptop, etc. with you on business trips, and when you've cleared the customs you will copy a mirror image through internet connection containing your work stuff, etc. on that laptop.
Maybe the funds were spent to wrong things... There are some simple ways to improve students learning success, like smaller class sizes, but that's not really relevant. Another somewhat relevant to this discussion is later starting times, especially for teenagers.
This discussion however was about school bus routes and times they go at and when school starts.
This is most definitely the way to go, but I'm so certain that there will be a whole bunch of people, and perhaps stupid laws too, that will put a fight against this for what godforsaken reasons (and misunderstandings) they have.
I think it's because these critics are smug elitist better-than-everyone programmers that reinforce their elitism by talking shit about, and loving finding faults in, other programmers.
I think he was just making a joke, but seriously there has been a whole sh*tload of mean spirited programmer blamings in this comment thread from people who expect the programmers to know and understand everything non-programming related about other people and how they feel about this'n'that, and it's just evil.
Not everyone is a night owl. I get up around 4a LT and get my EU comms knocked out before most of the US wakes up. US West Coast buttheads how email me after their dinner still get a response within a few hours.
You know, everything after your first sentence is gibberish? Or maybe how read I could understand your post everyone possible?:)
Here in Finland kids walk or bike to school mostly by themselves... When I was 5 or 6 years old (that would've been around '85-'86) and going to 1st grade, I was first shown the safest route to walk and after that my father started his work at 6am, my mother woke me, made breakfast and left to her job that started at 7am, while I was left home and the school day usually started between 8 and 10 - I don't think the 1st graders start that early anymore (I mean 8am, not 10am), and if a parent had to drop kid(s) at school in the morning I don't think there would be very many parents who both go to work.
Except for the mention of his/hers family being poor, I didn't see anything about how "hard my life is/was" or "kids shouldn't have it better than me" in his/hers post. Your being dumb.
> You need to be at school at 8? That means you get up at 7
One hour from bed to classroom? That would be quite an impressive trick even for a college student who lives on campus, let alone a kid in elementary/middle/high school whose travel includes vehicular travel of any kind.
What? Maybe for the kid, but for a college student who lives on campus!? How long does it take you to get up from the bed and ready to leave? Teeth brushing, even a quickie shower (with soap), I do it in 30 minutes, which would leave me with another 30 minutes. Well, that's what I did between 7th and 9th grade (in Finnish school system), but now days I take the shower before going to bed, and I can move from dead to walking out the door in less than 15 minutes.
I guess some people really take their time with their morning routines.
Nowadays, most schools explicitly prohibit dropping off kids nearby to avoid waiting in the traffic jam... if they're in a car, they have to be IN the car until you reach their designated drop-off point. And if you live more than {threshold} distance from the school, they MUST arrive by car or school bus.
My 7th-grade niece lives 3.1 miles from her school. Last year, my brother (her dad) made her bike to school one day when an emergency came up, and ended up having to buy her an iPad to make up for the detention he caused her to end up with when they caught her arriving by unauthorized means (she warned her dad they'd do it, he figured he could talk them out of it).
What's even MORE fucked up is that they'll ALSO punish kids for arriving by taxi, Uber, or Lyft. So busy parents can't even use THEM as a fallback transportation method. I get on my knees & thank god daily I don't have kids of my own... they'd probably arrest me for showing up & insisting upon serving my child's detention for them if they got it for something that was my own fault.
All this... It sounds... no, it is totally fucked up... That's not how things should be - totally and utterly fucked up by insane people with, I guess, nothing better to do.
But this plan was burning parent's money. It would make the older kids who would be fine at home alone for a few hours get home later and the young kids who shouldn't be alone that long get home earlier.
Maybe I'm missing something, but it seems to me that there's a really simple fix for this problem...
Anyway, when I was in first grade, I had no problem with being alone for couple of hours after school... I don't know why it would be such a big problem, but if it really is then couldn't you just swap the younger and older kids school times?
Sorry, but you don't know what a pedophile means. It is sexual interest in *prepubescent* children, and a normal 17-year (or 16 for that matter) is hardly a prepubescent.
And as stated in a whole load of posts, the age of consent in most parts of the world (including large parts of USA) is 16. It however doesn't mean that having sex with a 15-year old makes you a pedophile. You can make a claim that it's not OK, but you can't twist a word to suit your agenda like that. Words have meanings for a purpose.
Power corrupts - you've had a valuable lesson. Now you know that just because a police officer is claiming something happened doen't necessarily mean it's so.
There are too many people who assume that a policeman wouldn't speak evil off someone if there wasn't something wrong with that person.
Something noteworthy: in my country (Finland), and I suspect in England as well, the law is very different when it comes to paying a 16-year old hooker for sex than it is for ordinary consensual sex with a 16-years old. The latter is legal while the former is worse than paying an adult for sex (which also is illegal here).
16-years old is not a "full adult" and while most countries deem it to be old enough for having sex, they don't deem it to be old enough to make a decision of becoming a prostitute.
Or perhaps even more than pro-gun they are pro- gun manufacturers and maybe it's about market protectionism? I'm pretty certain that manufacturers did NOT like what this guy has been up to, and you can bet your ass that they have been in contact with the leaders.

You're making a fool out of yourself.
This, from Finland with love: What fucking bullshit?

We had to ski uphill to and from school.
Thank you for this interesting link!

At least our public schools are excellent - and nobody's complaining about stupid things like this.
What's an unemployment line fascist?

Yes, why don't they? Look into it, the truth isn't pleasant - it's more about fear than genuine want to plead guilty. The system is a travesty.
