1. Walk in the front door of your open for business coffee shop; 2. They help themselves to the candy from the "Free - Take all you like" bin; 3. You don't say anything but call the police. 4. ????? 5. Profit!
If someone dumps toxic waste on my yard and I complain would you say "why don't you clean it up?"
If a known murderer is left to wander around and I ask the police to arrest him would you tell me to arrest him mysself?
If someone claims authority (the title of encyclopedia is a strong inherent claim of authority)why is it my responsiblity to correct them?
Does the fact that I don't have time to police the site mean I have no right to notice the fact that it has flaws? Especially when some moron will probably revert my corrections 5 minutes later?
First hint: the AMERICANS with disabilities act doesn't apply to a British website that caters to the British. The law in question (had you read the ****ing article) is the Disability Discrimination Act.
Oh crap. I just suddenly realized I have been making a fool of mysself haven't I? This wasn't a legitimate concern in some way related to the article was it? This was an irrelevant tangent that hoped to gain karma.
We yanks consider live theatre to be the province of the rich and/or boring. Ergo We have accepted thee two terms you mention as meaning the same thing. I will now go watch some reality tv show and thereby consider mysself cultured.
How does that song go? Something about a feather a macaroni (not the pasta).
>Plus, I don't understand why it's so wrong that child pornography gets exchanged. Obviously, the creation of the images in the first place is bad, but, by banning the exchange of them in addition to the creation, we're creating a legal taboo and sending a message, saying that, if you like pictures of naked kids, then, Houston, we have a problem.
1. Yes, if you like KP you DO have a problem. 2. You stop the creation of KP by stopping the demand. (not the failure of the U.S. drug war in using hte exact opposite approach and the one you seem to be arguing for.) 3. There are ffairly strong links between the liking the looking of KP and the acting it out on real children.
What class? Hopefully all of them! I am a new English teacher. I teach reading and writting, but I also teach critical thinking. I don't do it directly of course. We read a story. We discuss it,a nd I force them, via the discussion, to think through problems in it. I ask questions (in discussions, one assignments and on tests) that require that the students use critical thinking to get to the answer. When a student can't get to the answer I don't just give it to him or her. I start them on the path towwards figuring it out. Maybe I help them with the first step, or give them a hint in the right direction. I never help them with more than a step at a time; I make them work things out.
The problem is that this is much harder to do. Also, it produces a much higher failure rate since many students refuse to try having been conditioned to the normal style of education. High failure ratres make me look bad. It is a bit of a cache-22.
You're clearly not from Boston, where about half of the drivers only stop for a red light if the driver in front of them did.
Hmm. Presumably the other half ARE the ones in front of them. If we could assume a two-car backup at every red light, this would be a mathematial certainty. Here in Dallas, anyway, backups are much longer. Ergo, way MROE than half stop at a red lgiht because the car in front of them did.
By your logic, Boston is a paragon of traffic safety:)
Think of them as a public service which keeps the terminally stupid off the streets. Obviously anyone not terminally stupid is in the wrong place, and so it is perfectly reasonable that they be kicked out.
Sir, I humbly bow to your superior prowess as a logician. You are a God!

Are thought to be indivisible?? Since when?
>Lastly, North Carolina has consistently placed in the BOTTOM 40 of all 50 states, in public school test scores.
So . . . . it's not in the top 10 is what you are saying?
> Eric Rudolph and that idiot who shot up the Planned Parenthood clinic in Colorado were both from North Carolina
Good point. I bet that this is the only state with disreputable representatives, right?
>The original poster is a myopic clueless fool.
You might want to invest in a mirror . . .
> I am leaving North Carolina soon,
Just like the idiot who shot up planned parenthood did. . . .
