Administrative discharges vary between honorable and "Other than Honorable." And can include all sorts of benefits being granted or taken away.
The reason I put that in there is because it's entirely possible if you're faking "being suicidal" for the purposes of discharge, and they figure it out, you could be given an "Other than Honorable" discharge.
OTH is different from Dishonorable, because yes, Dishonorable is the equivalen to a felony conviction.
I was in the Air Force for four years, went through the entire enlistment, now out and going to school on the G.I. Bill. I'm aware of the loopholes though, especially from a few army friends who had to deal with year-long deployments (I think the highest in demand are getting 15 months at a time with a month at home now).
If anyone is in the military right now and can't handle it, revealing yourself as "suicidal" puts you on the fast track to a medical discharge.
Note that the one guy I know who actually did this, actually was suicidal, so faking it unconvincingly will probably get you straight up punished, or administratively discharged.
Administrative discharge isn't quite as bad as Dishonorable, but still causes you to lose all your benefits and sticks you with the "Conditions other than honorable" stigma for the rest of your life.
your source includes Private school teachers with public school teachers, skewing the results upwards a great deal, and is also likely where the 80k a year earners are teaching at.
Googling around for State salaries indicates some pretty low salaries. I admit they're higher than I thought they were, though.
I think the point is that, during the Bush years, democrats were loading bemoaning Bush's wiretapping plans and whatnot, with the implicit idea that they wouldn't have done the same in his place. Now that it's happening, they're revealed as a bunch of hypocrits.
Not that this surprises me in the slightest mind you.

How did you go from reading "Janitor" to equating that with the time you worked at a restaraunt, presumably as a waiter?
Yeah, food service sucks. That's why you got a degree and a better job. All us IT guys are just making jokes, not personally attacking your history.
Nonsense. How would I know if my neighbor had a fireworks factory in their garage? How would the zoning board? And why should I care?
Aren't you the one espousing the philosophy that depends on perfect knowledge of the free market?
You can't simultaneously argue that people won't do things because the free market has fully informed them of the risk\reward, and at the same time argue that regulations are ineffective because of the ignorance of the people involved.
You should care, because, well, it was explained in the parent's link. Fireworks factories sometimes explode. Building them in populated areas is a stupid idea.
All risks are not equal. Not all regulation benefits society.
Some regulation does benefit society. Provably.
Equating building permits with universal mandatory fingerprinting or sex licenses is insane troll logic that gets you shut down really quick.
Also:
"Oh, wait, that would mean freedom, liberty and stuff. You know, stuff that frightens libtards out of their minds, people who have spent their entire lives hanging from the piggy little teats of mommy government, thinking that any degree of safety is worth giving up any amount of freedom. Yeah, much better to assume you're a complete fuckup. I guess you'd better pack up your hands and dick."
Is flamebait, in and of itself, regardless of agreement or disagreement with your position, or the merits of your argument.
I routinely have to help my co-workers do things like operate MS Office.
Being a techie, things that seem ridiculously simple to you are strange and frightening to them. These are also the sorts of people Dell is preying on, not you.
Funny, I'd think you would have at least read the preamble to the constitution if you were planning on talking about it.
"We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."
There are also articles explicitly suspending all sorts of protection for the purposes.
The Constitution also directly provides the "exceptions" you don't think exist.
"The privilege of the Writ of Habeas Corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in Cases of Rebellion or Invasion the public Safety may require it."
That said, I agree with your point, that plenty of the decisions made as part of the "War on terror" are bullshit.
I just want you to read the damn constitution and know what it actually says.
I'm not sure what the worry over calculators is anyways, I just recently finished up the calculus series at my school, and most of the tests included a "calculator section" and "non-calculator" section. None of my instruction seemed terribly different from other schools (The only comparison I really have is the MIT lectures on youtube, but I assume that's a pretty good standard!)
In every class, you had to understand the mathematics before you could effectively use the calculator. An awful lot of integration is understanding where the limits are, rather than doing the actual integral. A few other problems would cause the calculator to spit out unusable garbage, forcing you to go do the problem manually anyways.
Someone who "Doesn't actually understand the underlying math" could never pass a decently tested upper level math course, calculator or no.
Appeal to Authority is only a logical fallacy when the authority in question is not qualified to speak on the subject. An experimental physicist would certainly be qualified to have this discussion, say his predecessors may have been wrong, etc.
There are plenty of calculations and derived values that depended on the old mass of the proton. Even with our previous inaccuracy, calculations with the old value came out right.
If, in a specific case, a person is charged with violating a specific law, and that person is determined to be not guilty by the court because the law violates the constitution, any lower court will have to upload the decision.
Since the law cannot be enforced (anyone tried because of it would be innocent!) - it is effectively nullified, even though the chain of reasoning to arrive there is a little more complicated then it has to be.
Ingest less energy than you expend, and you will lose weight. This is scientific fact.
Yes, it's hard staying away from Fast food and exercising regularly, but it's not impossible, and it's not a genetic certainty.
blacks, jews, women, old people, young people,
Blacks choose to be black? Women choose to be women? My argument is that you accept the consequences of your own choices, including the (very justified!) discrimination that comes with it, and it's not okay to discriminate based on factors people have not chosen.
Once again, you don't have a choice whether you're Asian or not. I agree with laws that make it illegal to discriminate based on factors like this.
Fat, however, is a choice. Fat doesn't present a professional image, fat employees make the company's health insurance, etc.
If clients are bigoted, the company loses money on anyone the new employee turns away, so the smart hiring manager won't hire them. It's perfectly okay because the potential employee made that choice so now they get to live with it.

honestly, that's what the G.I. bill is there for. And the reason it got upped recently.
Congress is scared to death of well-trained killing machines going without jobs.
Are you still having flashbacks to the pools without permits getting found by google maps story?
There were a few good points by libertarians, and a lot of honest-to-god trolls.
The problem with most of them wasn't their opinions, it's that they were an asshole about it.
A medical discharge would be honorable, yes.

Ever notice that all the great Simpsons quotes are from 5+ years ago?
There were a handful of gems in the Movie, but beyond that they haven't been memorable or relevent in a long time.
It's a stupid order, but still a lawful order, so ignoring it would come up under Article 92--Failure to obey order or regulation.

Teachers make 20-35 thousand a year.
Anyone remotely competant in the CS field can expect to make much more than that.
Your understanding of the history of the English Empire, its fall, and its current geopolitical importance, is extremely flawed.

Why the hell do people keep thinking this?
It's not that the cost of a CD is prohibitive or adding anything it the cost.
It's that someone figured out they can charge more for the CD if they don't include it in the standard price!

wearing glasses does not disqualify you from military service.
yes, but bullies are too stupid to learn better.
