I would go so far as to say it is silly for anyone to think it had anything at all to do with hunting game. Making a law that says people have the right to the tools for gathering food would make about as much sense as making a law saying people have the right to go to the grocery store today. The 2nd amendment was clearly established entirely for the purpose of making sure that citizens have the arms necessary to over through the government. Good or bad, there is no other sane reading of that amendment.
No, he was pointing out that the previous poster was lying about teachers being the poorest paid and having the longest hours. You are a good example of why honest discussions don't happen concerning education. Lies get told, and when the lies are called out, people like you try to shift the focus of the conversation with straw man arguments in an attempt to make it look like the person who called out the lie is being mean to teachers.
This is one side of a good point showing how people refuse to have honest conversations about education. On the one hand, the drum is constantly beat on how teachers are underpaid because they are doing a great job at educating our youth, and on the other hand, their hands are tied, and they have become simple instructors, barred from actually teaching. The two arguments are mutually exclusive. (I know that you did not make both arguments)
Our education system is a total failure given the resources poured into it. Until honest conversations can be had concerning it, we can't make it better. Better for the students. Better for the teachers. Better for society as a whole.
You are a good example of why honest conversations can't be had about education in America. Your claiming that a classroom that has 50% disabled kids is common enough to be even worth discussing? If even close to 50% of our population under the age of 18 is disabled, our species is in total collapse. It isn't an education issue, it is an issue of the impending extinction of the human race.
Of course, we all know that your claim is total BS, but the fact that you would think it was even plausible as a discussion point shows just how poor people are at having honest discussions on public education.
About as competitive a all American's sleeping 24 hours a day. The point? No one is claiming that EVERYONE should quit their job. Of course you know that, and since you consider my post to be 100% correct, but don't want to admit it to yourself, you make a sarcastic straw man argument.
I've been assigned to read The Scarlet Letter several times from youth to college - I've never read it
Count yourself lucky. It is nothing more than 19th century porn. You can get the modern equivalent by going to lubetube or xhamster and looking up "cockold".
I'm not going to say that there are no families that require both parents to work, but "needing two incomes" is an excuse that doesn't fit reality more often than not. It is a question of priorities. Every family has their own that they need to make. Is living in a better (and more expensive) neighborhood more important than having a parent home so that the kids don't need to be shuffled off to daycare after school? Is it worth it to ship you 18 month old child off to daycare so that your household can afford to watch NFL on cable? What about setting an example of going off to work each day? Is that more important than being home for the kids?
In my household, we decided that it was worth lowering our financial standard of living for one of us to stay home with our child. We also decided that it wasn't worth it to decrease it even farther to have both of us home more often than we are.
Both parents working is more often than not, a decision on what financial level the family wants to live at in exchange for time with the kids.
The children starving in the streets is massiveness over played. If children are starving in mass numbers, the school system isn't the place to solve the problem.
Consider the fact that for 9 months a year, many (most?) kids spend more time in the care of the government than they do their biological "parents". We are pretty much running in an orphanage state as it is. It is sad really.
Exactly. We home school our son, and in 1 to 2 hours a day, he vastly outpaces the kids that should be his peers in public school. The answer to a crappy education isn't to have even more crappy education. The move for more school days likely has more to do with parents wanting more free daycare while the school system employees see it as expanding their industry.
And if you mean by preventing child abuse, actually abusing the child by retarding their development through the restriction of their activities, sure. There are lots of ways to abuse kids. Sending them out to fend for themselves at 18 when they have never been allowed to develop into adults before that is a really common form of abuse these days.
Actually, it would make sense to bring desktop Linux's market share up when discussing OSX since OSX's market share is FAR closer to that of desktop Linux than it is to Windows.
It doesn't seem like scientific silliness to me. They directly addressed the issue. "It's a mad house!!! It's a mad house!!!" The whole situation made no sense to Taylor. The thought that Earth would be over thrown by apes and plunged into a primitive society where humans were little more than wild animals to be hunted was less likely in his mind than another planet having a parallel evolution where the apes come out on top. The silliness you are bothered by likely comes more from the fact that you already know it is Earth than from the absurdity of the situation.
So, it is prior art by virtue of it being written, released, and in public use a good 2 months prior to Apple submitting a description of an idea they had.

Nope. Cannons were included, available, and owned by private individuals at the time the amendment was ratified.

Not to mention the poster didn't even indicate what race he expected the next president to be.

Where in America is social promotion not the norm today?

If we started actually valuing education as a society, we wouldn't need to run the schools through the summer.

That was the Apple fanboy's intention.

Which is a chicken and egg problem solved by self driving cars.
Not to mention, the number of people who cannot drive, but would now be able to have a car.
It seems the better solution for that use case would be to put a battery in the desktop's power supply.
