So either
1.It doesn't apply or
2.It doesn't apply.
Therefore its pointless to have it.
No need to define "unreasonable" if the amendment never applies in the first place.
This is completely trivial, if you have been taught it.
If your taught
"whole" means the part by itself on one side of the = sign
"part I know" is the number on the other side of the = sign that you know
and the other nuber is the "part you dont know" (yet)
"part I know" "operator" "part I dont know" = "whole"
part I know is 5
its an addition question so +
part I dont know is x
whole is 6
5 + x = 6
x = 1
Its only confusing to you because you weren't shown how to understand the question.
(Or you really are dumber than a 1st grader...)
Is it a good test to give with no prior knowledge of how to do this? Of course not it would be stupid, many adults here are having trouble.
As a test to check if kids understand things they have already been shown to do, its perfectly adequate.
Look, this is ridiculous. I know nothing at all about writing tests, or about education in general
At least you're honest. So now you have a little knowledge, go back over your mindless rant and see if you can spot the errors.
So now its a reading comprehension test that the kids are quite likely to fail.
You have tried to explain it, but used a completely different method to what they have been learning all year.
They spend all year learning about "whole" "part I know" "missing part"
And now you are prattling on about left, right, make the amount. Teacher why did you change all the words to gibberish?
When you write for an audience, you quickly come to understand that things you think are obvious aren't obvious to everyone
The audience are the students not some random shalshdotters.
The test is written for an audience, but that audience wasn't you, it would be obvious to everyone who payed attention in the class.
So then, it appears there’s no real relation between the pennies and the coffee cup, they’re just arbitrarily chosen icons used to test the understanding that a numeral (the 6 on the cup) can represent quantities of an item (the coins), and that one can do subtraction by converting the 5 coins to a number 5, which subtracted from the whole of 6 is the answer 1. Which is fine, as far as it goes, but nothing is gained from using coins and a cup, in fact it seems deliberately confusing!
How the fuck do you know the students weren't taught exactly this, with cups and pennies in their classes? If this is the way they were taught it then its completely trivial to understand what they are expected to do and comes down to simple number skills. i.e. exactly what they are supposed to do.
Cut him some slack.
He's just bitter that he's stuck in the apple world partly because of the apps he bought, partly due to pride in defending his choice.
The average Chinese is just like the average American.
They worry about their jobs and family and earning enough money to put food on the table and pay the bills.
They want their kids lives to be better than theirs are.
Most average people anywhere don't care about much more than this.
ps. The average Chinese knows full well how much they have to lose, its quite apparent how much the current situation is far superior to that of their youth,(or their parents generation). They have seen it for themselves or can ask their parents about it.
So, to be clear, the United States democractically elected government passed a law, that applies only to United States citizens. A bunch of foreign bankers have decided that they don't like that law, and so they are overruling it.
No the United States democratically elected government signed a treaty (of its own free will and heavily biased towards US interests) that deals with trade around the world. The US has laws that violate the treaty within its own borders and is unable to convince the states to uphold the treaty. Usually this is where Americans suggest bombing and regime change to enforce its will on others.
I'm sure Slashdot will be thrilled with any decision that hurts intellectual property enforcement, but try to look at what's going on here. It is really, really bad for democracy when elected officials can be overruled by overseas bankers. The United States is right to refuse to comply with the ruling, and should do everything in its power to resist. Our democracy ain't exactly working great, but it's better than a bunch of unelected bureaucrats ruling by decree from overseas.
If the US doesn't want to uphold its side of the deal, its free to leave the WTO. See what that does to intellectual property enforcement.
Its really really bad for everyone when agreements between governments arent agreements at all. Its really really bad when elected officials can ignore their own laws and just do as they please (constitution anyone). Should all the other countries who disagree with treaties they signed, or change their mind later be allowed to just ignore them? What about other types of contracts? The United States should realise that these agreements are in its own best interests.
TL;DR
The US is free to take its ball and go home.
It wont be missed.
Lol, you seem convinced that by signing a treaty we signed away our rights to legislate within our borders. We didn't, I promise you.
No you didn't, and you can do what you like in this regard within your own borders.
But externally you have to accept the punishment for not fulfilling your obligations to the other signatories to the treaty.
You can try crying about it because you're having trouble enforcing your obligations on your states. But ultimately, as far as the rest of the world is concerned, that's your problem.
I can already tell you that Antigua will not win this, we won't be legalizing online gambling and they wont become a copyright free zone. It's all very silly.
They already have won this (twice). They are just deciding the exact details of the pain they will inflict upon you.
> The difficulty, of course, is that the US signed a treaty saying it would abide by this sort of ruling. So now what?
So what. This should be seen as an affront to national soverienty by pretty much every body rather than the anti-USA hate-gasm it's turned into.
If the shoe were on the other foot, everyone would be defending the country that dared to have it's own independent law.
Blatant hypocrisy all around.
Remember, this is the precedent you begged for.
So all treaties are null and void now?
And then not only Antiqua can flout American copy-write, so can everyone else?
I'm not sure everyone will be happy with that situation.
Either treaties are useful and will be abided by or they aren't and wont.
Your free to leave the WTO any time you like.
Have a good think if you think its better or worse to be a part of it and then have your government decide, shouldn't take too long.
It comes down to power, and influence.
Which western democratic country do you think you could invade that wouldn't then cause all the others to retaliate?
And do you really think the likes of China and Russia wouldn't pile on?
How about the entire middle east?
Swinging your big dick around will only get you so far....
You will lose all your influence over other countries if you start breaking treaties and agreements willy nilly.
You might be able to influence the whole world because of your big military budget, but you cant bomb the whole world into submission.
And why would you try over such a trivial matter?
Warmongering incompetent fools.
Slashdot Mirror
Rubbish
There is no mention of the US before your sycophantic ravings introduced it.
So either
1.It doesn't apply or
2.It doesn't apply.
Therefore its pointless to have it.
No need to define "unreasonable" if the amendment never applies in the first place.
you failed to define the word "unreasonable"
If its reasonable to search everyone, all the time , then why bother having the amendment?
If only there was some way for him to access that secret information, maybe he should try and get a job in a spy agency or something...
So you want to be able to tell the US population, but not tell any foreign intelligence agencies finding out?
Care to explain how?
the only thing that falls out from freedom is anarchy.
If your taught

I’ve no background in education
You don't say...
Cut him some slack.

So NSA spying on you is good
Snowden spying on them is bad.
Why? IF he was a spy and stole secrets, so what, it's what they do!!
Why are you getting your panties all in a twist?
Spies spy, Deal with it.
1.8 cm x 0.00178cm
Convert to fractions of a whatever if you so care...
Why give a shit about congressional probes, when you can lie to congress with impunity?
Fired and then receive a consultant job that pays 10x as much,or just go lobby somewhere.
You can be sure the NSA will look after its own(,and they have all the dirt remember).
What makes you think a group of people wiping their ass with the constitution care about (or even understand) pride.
Lie and cheat and break laws for a living, impeccable morals by anyones standard.
Cue American sovereignty tinfoilers in 3...2...
And yet strangely, no war...
Any country can whip up public support when needed, I'm sure your familiar with that.
You don't think you could find a few Americans to wave a few flags around for the cameras?
Would you like freedom fries with that?

Allies today, enemies tomorrow? Things change quickly.
They change quicker if you give them reasons to distrust you. Stealing their secrets, sabotaging their negotiations/businesses etc.
You can blame that one Edward Snowden.
or NSA incompetence.
You have a naive sense of the term ally. Name an ally that has not been an enemy at one time.
