I think that was good old Rick Wagner. Running GM into the ditch for years. So bad he's one of the few businessmen to have been fired by a US President.
The hell of it is, it shouldn't be a shithole (school). Here they are providing what other people in the world would give a nut to get because they'll never get it. They're doomed to be in a shithole all their life, very poor. I mean like they can't even get clean water poor. Yet kids here often think of it as jail, despise it. I know my son sure did.. even into college where he was on AP. Then I cut him off... Said - you need to get a job. Don't care where, Military, Gas station, someplace, however you will get a job. Then he realized what he threw away. 10 years of telling him that didn't seem to matter. He never did progress from that point. He's in a hell of a situation of his own making. He's screwed up his life. IMHO, the fucking educators. Huh you may be saying? Yes I said educators and not teachers. Teachers teach, educators indoctrinate the leftist creed. That's what screwed him and so many others. In my state they actually call each other that way - teachers and educators.
Maybe we need to make it a challenge. Have grades set up such that you can fail and be left behind. At say age 12 have a test to determine if they get any more education at all. Make them pass it every year after that to stay in. Screw up and they're out. That would thin them out fast. Those that don't want to be there wouldn't be there. I understand this is how it works in some other countries.
Let me respond: a) There have always been guns everywhere and in the past - nothing happened. In fact it was very common for kids to bring guns to school to shoot after school. I learned at a high school shooting range. How many guns? The Japanese in WWII said they didn't want to invade the US mainland because there would be a gun behind every blade of grass. People that knew how to use them as well. They knew they'd be slaughtered. So it's not the guns. b) Amen brother. You hit the nail on the head. c) You haven't sold me on this one. How is this any more important than say 70 years ago? Being an alpha for money, force, etc is nothing new. Nothing new at all. Believe me, there were real badasses back then too. Probably even more so. Just look up say Joe Kennedy for example. Al Capone, etc. Lots of examples. d) I argue we're not doing enough of this. They've taken bullies out of society and they served an important purpose. People with autism were smacked down appropriately by these people and aren't now. So now they're being assholes and they're adults. Bad combination. It's a way of with any luck making you less of an asshole. Pointing out when you're showing your ass. Some people never learn the lesson, however. e) Again, amen brother. Police acting like hollywood. I remember cops 40 years ago that would see a show and say - hey, I didn't know we could do that. Well now they're doing that and people are getting killed. They need training bad. Especially with mentally ill people. f) Again, Amen brother. The media is probably our worst problem.
Disenfranchise? No, not at all. IMHO, that's BS. People are included more than ever. It is people that want to incite problems that benefit from those problems that keep this alive.
Studies have shown that the more guns there are, the less crime there is. In fact there's a book by that title - More guns, Less Crime. More respect in the community. Another point, the "gun free zones" attracts these shootings like a magnet. Since 1950 it's like 99.9% of school shootings have happened in these areas. We've had the gun free zones since about 1990 so this is very revealing to anyone that cares. Colorado theater shooting? Yea, that was a gun free zone too and the shooter actually said that's why he went there.
So which school shooters were NRA trained? How does the NRA support them? Good luck with that one.
Sounds like you might be one of the people that SHOULDN'T have a gun based on your last remark. If you think it has anything to do with sex.
The NRA supports responsible gun ownership. Used to be kids brought guns to school. Justice Scalia has remarked about taking a rifle on the NYC Subway into the city to school and using it at the range after school. No problem. This has come about because they stopped teaching gun safety and marksmanship in the schools. In fact I learned at a high school shooting range how to shoot. It helps teach responsibility, morality. Something lacking in society today in what has become a "I'm a victim" America. Everyone is.... Everyone is NOT a victim. It's life. Deal with it.
So which countries are those? Do you even know what a right is? (answer - NO)
Gun control has always been a leftist and racist idea. Especially in the US, right along with Jim Crowe laws, KKK and those other leftist racist ideas. Look it up, I'm not a troll. Look up Governor Wallace. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... Read about him and the Democratic party. Learn.
We own a bunch of Apple products. They were great. Once upon a time. It's like superman has died..... Ehem. I haven't seen much to be happy about out of apple for years and now they've removed Easter from the calendar and kept BS other dates in there, it's the beginning of the end for them. They're too PC. Short on ideas, just like PC people are. They're starting to suck. The whole industry is beginning to suck other than the Linux area. That is where it's at today.
Time is ripe for someone else to step in with say a Linux based machine and clean up big.
So you've just been to the Gym. The car knows that because it took you there. So on the way home you could see an advertisement for Smoothie King, McDonalds, etc. Just imagine it - "You've worked out hard. Looks like you've been at it for an hour. Make sure you're hydrated and replenish your fluids, stop at smoothie king, just 1 mile ahead on the right." This is on your HUD. What? You don't have a HUD in your car yet?
I see a post by AmiJo that says you guys have billboards in the UK. In fact, here is how to do it along with examples: http://www.ukmedia.co.uk/index...
Don't worry about that. CS is tough. The few women in CS are like rock stars, especially if they actually know what they're doing. It'll always be a male dom area because it's tough. It takes work and people don't do it unless they have to. Women don't have to.
Absolutely. You see, boys, especially white boys don't need any support. We're superior by design, intelligence, build, you name it. Before you (not necessarily the guy I'm responding to) come back with some snarky remark, the data is very much out there and there's no defending your side. Why else do we have to have help for women, people of other races and so on? They're admitting they're inferior.
Otherwise as Morgan Freeman said - the best way to stop discrimination is to - stop it. No more set asides for black people, women, etc. No more special help for them either. Suck it up, you are not a victim. It's life. Deal with it like white men have to.
Imagine if all the professors and crazy people that keep this stuff alive have to actually get a real job rather than making social problems all over the place.
You would be surprised about how many people aren't able to properly understand almost any slightly complex idea. Most of them have an internet connection, are quite unaware about their poor understanding skills and, in some cases, "defend" their ridiculous misinterpretations in very aggressive, coward and even obsessive ways.
Yes, so much yes. I know people that can't do an analogy worth crap. Even simple stuff blows right over them.
However maybe this fits into what they've done to Boys. After all, when I was growing up we were going to be Astronaughts! Go to far away places... kick their asses (Just kidding). Now kids born when we were going to the Moon are now middle aged and will never get into an orbit. Want to be an astronaught - forgetaboutit kid. You'll never make it. There are probably a million other people, including foreigners in front of you.
How about training their help to stop being gorillas. It's crazy, a lot of handlers don't seem to care. I've even had a package with tire tracks across it. If it's the least bit fragile, I never send it UPS.
Wrong type of word. Bing sounds like you're hitting something. Need to copy a paper? You Xerox it. Need to look something up - google it. If they were looking for a word like google, it would have to be along those lines, not striking something. Something like kiddle, Micro, gulam, something like that. Funny, Google actually has a kiddle. Picture search for kids. I was looking it up to see if it was out there.
Maybe you wouldn't have voted for the old bitch if you realized what she was about. There wasn't enough lipstick in the world for that pig. She would have been a despot and we'd be at war by now.
... Or we can simply teach our young parents that they should foster the spark of nerd they see in their daughters as they would an ember in tinder instead of immediately reaching for the Barbies and pom-poms. They should step in to prevent the mockery of nerds, gamers, and computer users so that there is less social resentment harbored by those who choose to be so engrossed in the loving blue glow of a monitor. And then allow those better-adjusted, better-educated, and more equitably educated children grow up and show their actual demand in their chosen fields of work....
First off, what's the difference? Conservatives believe in change from within. What can I change within myself to make things better? Liberals think that they only way to change things is with a whip or barrel of a gun. You must do this or pay a big fine, go to jail or they'll shoot you. All of these shooters are leftists/socialists.
The part I quoted - you can't do that. I have a daughter and I know a lot of engineers all the way up to Rocket Scientists that had daughters. It's a free country. They often decide that they don't want to do the hard work. Science is tough after all. Lots of learning, lots of math and if you screw up people die. That's the harsh reality. Engineering a bridge, building, rocket or software that controls an explosive plant or concrete mixer. Screw up and someone is dead, or a whole bunch of people are dead. Men go into these fields because we have to. I certainly wouldn't have my high paying job if I weren't pushed into it at a very early age, spending all of my time studying and doing whatever it took to become educated and very marketable. Maintaining the high paying job isn't easy either. Every year they re-evaluate my performance to determine if they'll keep me. High blood pressure, Kidney Stones... and so on and so forth are the result. Most women don't have things like that.
It's not a political issue. Damore lost because he drew his own conclusions that are not supported by the studies he cited....
It would be useful if you had expanded on what your point is. What conclusions are not supported by the studies? Did you actually read them? If you did I'm disappointed that you didn't outline them here. Could it be his conclusions were right on? Maybe you didn't understand the studies? Probably.
He voted for Bill Clinton? Some people might think he's talking about Trump. Trump never said he actually did that, he said he could do that and it's true. Just ask Harvey Weinstein. A guy that actually does that and way more. Even has the Democrats protect him by donating large sums of money to them.
Windows NT was just the same old OS with networking that Microsoft couldn't give away the year before. Just repackaged. Get a short skirt to show it off.... Boom, sales.
Don't use a real distro like Fedora or RedHat. Then you'll know how bad debian is. I've been doing this for 40 years. I helped write code for the original Linux kernel and Reiserfs. In government, business I don't see debian almost without exception. I see RedHat all the time because it's way better.
BTW, know that cool wifi software in debian? Yea, that was written by RedHat. Check out the source. So was most of all their other stuff.
If you get Fedora, don't get the sucky gnome. Get Plasma. A real desktop.
Just because something has always been done a certain way, doesn't mean that is still the best way.
That's what we said when we went to daylight saving time. However if changing a clock is too hard for some people, I suppose we could stay with one time. Too bad we have to go down to the lowest common denominator all the time. I just showed a guy how to set his clock in his Sebring. He couldn't figure it out for 7 years. Took me like one second.
While we're at it let's go all in. Maybe we should go with that base 10 time as well?
Has it even been proven that "fake news" is really an issue? I saw the shenanigans that Russia got up to on facebook and have a hard time believing that influenced anyone to vote differently than they otherwise might have.
No question. Main Stream Media thinks it's their job to form public opinion. Now to put leftists between a rock and a hard place. NY Times exposing CNN's fake news: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/1... However I don't want other networks to feel left out (abc): https://www.cnbc.com/2017/12/0...
