    And what does that have to do with what google is doing with the "grant"?

    It teaches that women are weaker, less capable, and less useful unless given something that man aren't (effectively punishing the male students for no good reason other than they were born male.)

    Of course, try starting an official "United Caucasion College Fund"....

    This country is so full of $#!+ with it's claims of "equailty" and non-discrimination....

    Doctors will NEVER admit they're wrong.

    And you're right, they don't know what causes it, why are they so quick to say the vaccines aren't connected?

    It's just a repeat of the "ADD" craze the medical industry was in in the 80's and 90's to make doctors feel needed and important....

    Exactly. The system DOES NOT WORK for the it's original purpose of enriching the common good with LIMITED monopolies.

    There's nothing limited about them anymore, they continue in perpetuity...

    More proof that the whole IP field (patents, copyrights, etc.) is totally out of control and needs to be re-written from the ground up.

  10. Re:Idiocracy on The Poor Neglected Gifted Child · · Score: 1

    Do you really not already know the answer to that question in a country where:

    1) Many kids "sports" don't even bother to keep score so there are no winners or losers
    2) It's almost impossible for a teacher to fail a student who is not performing academically to keep the school funded and avoid angry parents
    3) Political correctness prevents simple facts from being even discussed in schools
    4) Standards for graduation drop lower and lower almost every year

    ?

  11. Sorry parents, on The Poor Neglected Gifted Child · · Score: 1

    but some kids are gifted, and others are just average, and a great many are below average.

    We really can't afford to keep footing the bill for the below average and start getting the the gifted into the schooling they need.

    I don't mean for broadcast or the like, but for review when a potential lawsuit or harassment claim pops up.

    That would block any and all security videotapes from being used, since at the time of the crime being commited, the crooks haven't been arrested and Miranda-ized for them yet....

  15. Forget when they get back on Cameras On Cops: Coming To a Town Near You · · Score: 1

    It should be streaming to a central, offsite server where the images and sound can be saved, not deleted at the cop's convenience. The footage should be available to citizens and police alike.

    Intentional vs. accidental obscuring the image would have to be on a case by case basis, but hopefully the sounds recording would still provide enough cues and clues...
