People believe muslims are bad because muslims do so many bad things. They have not taken responsibility as a group and purged their ranks of bad muslims, so people will continue to assume that every muslim is a bad muslim. This is the only rational assumption to make, because many of them are bad people, and they have power over you. Thus, you must be on your guard against bad muslims, and you must assume that any muslim interaction will go wrong.
Yeah that doesn't sound prejudicial at all. Guess what, there are jerks who spit on your burger at McD's, scientists that fake results and janitors who leave soap slime on toilet seats too. As long as you are going to tar entire professions might as well keep going.
What you are doing is perfectly legal, has been for years. The plans to build all sorts of guns have been out for ages. The government really doesn't care because making a gun is perfectly legal. Calling it "hosting politically incendiary content" isn't going to make it so. It isn't going to be the Big Bad Government that is going to take you down either, it is the wife of the guy that has one of your designs blow up in his face that is going to soak up every dime you are worth. Go ask Paladin Press how it works, I am sure they will give you an ear full.
Please explain why a school needs a Principal, 2 or 3 vice principals, a disciplinary administrator or 2, a staff of 5 to 10 emotional counselors/therapists, 5 to 10 career counselors, multiple secretaries for the administration to support the bureaucracy and on and on.
I used to think like you to an extent, then I actually went looking for answers. Trust me, that is a skeleton crew. Between, public/community//state/federal standards/mandates/reporting I am continually shocked they get as much done as they do. Look at it this way. Take any company with as many workers as your local school has students (the parents and community are the customers), anything close to the same budget, and overall responsibility to thieir customers and see if they have as many managers. Chances are they have many many more. If you want a hand crafted product, it is going to take incredible attention to detail, that costs time, people and money.
Add in things like the competition for having the best sports equipment and fields and the need to acquire the shiniest new gadgetry and it becomes hard to say schools are under funded and not just poorly managed. Cut all that other crap and if the school is still short on money then come talk to me until then figure out how to manage my tax dollars properly.
Few people that participated in HS sports would tell you it was a bad investment years later. As for tech, if you want cake you are going to have to break some eggs. As for 'your' tax dollars, I guess more people decided that their tax dollars were well spent on these things. Welcome to democracy.
Oh do tell, what other mandatory medical procedures that have no proven efficacy in the situation do you want to support? Colonoscopes for 10 year olds? After all there are recorded cases.... Pre-emptive Gall Bladder removal? Cheaper and safer to do when you are not ill after all.
"One must raise the question of whether anyone has the right to risk getting an illness themselves." Did you support the NY drink ban? How about we make fatty food illegal? How about we add just plain injury to that? Motorcycles, gone. Extreme Sports, gone. Cars, gone.
"Is there any good reason?" How about Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness any damn way I want without your boot on my neck? Any who gives a crap why they refused? Does your opinion change if they are deathly afraid of needles or seeing their own blood?
"there is no evidence showing that vaccinated workers are less likely to transmit virus
should also be considered as
there is no evidence showing that vaccinated workers are more likely to transmit virus"
So you advocate the mandatory use of medicine that shows no efficacy. That puts you right in league with Authoritarian Homeopaths, what great company you keep.
Here's one thing that you neglected to mention about e-books: They cost almost nothing to publish. It means a lot of rubbish makes it through, but a lot more good authors will get published. With paper books, I guarantee, that over the past hundred years millions of manuscripts became forgotten, because of the printing costs.
And here is a thing about that that you gloss over, the sheer amount of rubbish. The signal to nose ratio will increase a hundredfold and the few good authors we get out of it won't be worth the amount of garbage people have to wade through to find it. those millions of unpublished you refer to? Sure it might have been cost to prin, after all who would pay money to publish total schlock writing.
Creationism is the belief (regardless of source) that humans were created by a super-being 6000 years ago, despite insurmountable evidence humanity is far older.
There are at least three things wrong in that sentence. Perhaps you should apply your analytic skills before you type and especially before you create your own set of beliefs.
"Unions have no place for the programming industry.. except in government where we expect cost overruns and shoddy results. "
Yeah, look at what a cluster fuck Duke Nukem Forever was. Rotten Government garbage programmers. And the Flight Sim tucked inside your governement spread sheet software, more lazy Governemnt turds. Diablo 3, do I need to go on? If you really think software cost overruns and shoddy results are the halmark of governemt you need to dig a little deeper.
"Unions Helped End Child Labor: “Union organizing and child labor reform were often intertwined” in U.S. history, with organization’s like the “National Consumers’ League” and the National Child Labor Committee” working together in the early 20th century to ban child labor. The very first American Federation of Labor (AFL) national convention passed “a resolution calling on states to ban children under 14 from all gainful employment” in 1881, and soon after states across the country adopted similar recommendations, leading up to the 1938 Fair Labor Standards Act which regulated child labor on the federal level for the first time."
Sorry, jill. Stop with the internet, Go read a book.
"Is that a lot of CSci depts (particularly at community colleges and other places that have associate's degrees) across the country have received grant money from Microsoft itself."
[Citation Needed]
That is not true in any of the 28 Community colleges I am associated with, so that is an entire state that says you are wrong.
Yeah, here is a group I am going to trust. Who owns the site? Oh an ad company. What three colleges are on their site, oh, on-line for profits. Yeah, no bias there to drag the numbers up.
"FACT: According to a recent study by the National Association of Colleges and Employers, the teaching profession has an average national starting salary of $30,377. Meanwhile, NACE finds that other college graduates who enter fields requiring similar training and responsibilities start at higher salaries:
Computer programmers start at an average of $43,635,
Public accounting professionals at $44,668, and
Registered nurses at $45,570."
Don't like that? Try this:
"The average salary for full-time public school teachers in 2010–11 was $56,069 in current dollars (i.e. dollars that are not adjusted for inflation). In constant (inflation-adjusted) dollars, the average salary was about 3 percent higher in 2010–11 than in 1990–91. " nces.ed.gov
Now for Google, yeah lets look at that average Household. in 2003 (horribly old as shit data) Households with a person with a professional degree was $100,000 so our average teacher has a spouse making ~$44,000 which means in general the spouse has either a Bachelors or a Masters. What a shock, two college educated people make good money - the horror
"And 6-8 weeks of PTO?"
This old saw? Try 6-8 weeks of unemployment where you are STILL doing your job to get ready for the next year.
"As an IT PM, 50-70 hours. 15-20 days PTO + 10 holidays."
No wonder you are so confused, you are sleep deprived.
"BUT COME ON, "consistently one of the least respected, poorest paid professionals... longest hours of anyone"? BULL! Go see a few episodes of Dirty Jobs."
I don't know the show but do they have lots of PROFESSIONALS on dirty jobs? I had no idea.
He is far right, get over it. You don't get to drag the marker of the middle to the right until you get to claim the middle. "This causes polarization, hatred, alienation and isolation. It also makes collabortation almost impossible."
Is that the Scientist or the Atheist speaking? Because just among us girls, the divergence of Atheism and Science is getting as scary as the divergence of hard Theism and Science. I got shouted down in grad school (Botany) because what I spoke wasn't religious, no, it was against Canon. The subject was how peanuts grow. They do so in an odd and unique way. A way that sets them up to one day mutate into an incredible weed. My question was why are they only ones that do what they do given how adventitious it is. Another grad student called me an idiot for even asking. See, I went against Canon. I asked my advising professor about it later (it was her symposia) and she described the lack of imagination and original thinking in the hard sciences and exhorted me to not become the same. She herself had a hard time even getting her PhD as a mere woman because of this lack. This was a Big Ten school btw.
Your lack is philosophy, and imagination. It is you that is holding back Science as much as the Theists. When all he dreamers left NASA what happened?
I can see a forest, I can see trees, I can see a single tree, and I can describe everything that goes on with that tree, from its birth to its death and yet there is more to a forest than atoms banging around. Go outside and smell the flowers, Gather ye rosebuds while ye may.

Screw you Mr Orth, but it does look like you are choking on a gob of twitter frosting.
He said "doing real work".

It's a pity you can't understand my sig then. But you go ahead and keep advocating bad medicine because it adds up in your mind.

And over 10,000 people that year were killed by gun violence. You would need 60 McVeighs a year to match that.
In other words, you just proved Frosty's point.
There are at least three things wrong in that sentence. Perhaps you should apply your analytic skills before you type and especially before you create your own set of beliefs.
Because oil has a hell of a lot more uses than just fuel. Something has to grease the wheels.
