$27,000 is spent every year, per child, in Camden, NJ.
Only three students-- 3-- in the entire city of Camden achieved college-ready scores on the SAT.
These families have lived in the northeast USA for several generations.
Something is wrong, and while we can all agree it's not skin color, it's obviously not Jim Crow laws (that didn't exist in NJ) decades before these kids were born either.
Maybe it's decades of exploitation from single-party rulers in the great majority of our cities.
To give an example, Germany has the best passenger train system in the world (with the possible exception of Switzerland). My mother-in-law has a small train line running RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE HOUSE. Until she was 60 years old she was simply not capable of riding the thing because she was too primitive/stupid/illiterate to figure out the time tables (you actually have to change trains once to get into the city, which is a 22 minute trip). This was in the year 2005 AD. The 21st century. And she is by no means an exception, she had some friends with her on her first trip and they could not quite figure out how to get home with the train.
If the byproducts of fission reactors had such a long half-life, they would emit so little radiation in the short term it wouldn't be much of a threat.
The retroreflective paints only work if they are repainted every few years. If they aren't, then at best they become invisible when it rains. These electroluminescent paints won't be any different, and hence useless. The embedded reflectors that are becoming common in the northeast USA are far more durable.
No, you DO NOT unless you have children, or are elderly, or disabled. But that's OK, some ignorant mod didn't know that either. So yes, younger, healthier single people are being put in debtor's prison (it's house arrest) by the government.
All law enforcement supports wiretapping. What's in question is how strongly she supports warrantless wiretapping, and how that sits in the current climate. Is anyone keeping watch on past Obama administration officials-- the administration that also supports warrantless wiretaps-- to see where they are employed?
I don't know... is the curriculum for core courses that much harder? Is that 100-level Physics class much harder than one at a small private school? Even if it was, I thought your students were elite. Wouldn't their level of effort get them the same grade at Harvard that an average non-Mensa Joe gets at Leafytown College?
Have you ever heard of the fallacy "appeal to authority"? Apparently, the mods haven't either. Listen, someone like you isn't going to be as impressed by the opinion of 93 people on the street as by the opinion of 93 professors. But when you consider it, it's not reasonable.
"Consumption" was an old name for tuberculosis. TB is normally transferred through the air, not food contamination.
Raw milk is not generally available to poor urban people today, because farms are no longer near cities. It's mostly consumed in rural or suburban areas, near the source farms. There is no need to ban raw milk with the incredibly small risks associated, compared to the carcinogens in city water, for example. So banning raw milk is essentially an attack on poor and middle class rural people, which is fashionable today.
I'm curious about these inspectors. Is it a requirement that they have no hands? Because we have these things called "video cameras" that they could carry to document their reports. They only need one hand to hold it, so NYC's 100% differently-abled health inspector quota could still be met.

The popular dystopian vision of the mid 19th century was that our cities would become knee-deep in horseshit by the early 20th century.
... and you don't even own a TV, either. I get it.

'EUTSCHLAND!
I hear a lot of people are being duped by false facades on ATM machines.

Or anthropomorphic coyotes. Unless you got some bad weed.
They're supposed to have these handy yellow signs that warn you of curves and steep grades...

He did. The motion was denied.
The judge in that case should probably be censured.
So if you rape, your penalty is higher if you're gay? Sounds like persecution to me. That's the definition of unequal protection under the law.
We've always been at war with Eastasia.
You're OK as long as you don't cross the local crime bosses.
Not bad-- you answered a mildly trollish post with a combination straw man/false dilemma!
Hey, the Fugitive Slave Act is settled law! Now step'n'fetch!

Your insulting comment is code for "foe".
But Kennedys live there.

Yet the elite want us all to live there. In fact, they're using their power in government and business to make it happen.
Bill Nye is a mechanical engineer, yet the Slashdot hive mind considers him an authority on AGW.
Just one page down and already the second fallacy, Captain Straw Man.
