    That will be interesting for amateur astronomers as well. I know I would love to check that out

    oh I didnt mean they were trying to trick me, Just, and no offense, but to me, biology is what counts, not what one feels. More power to you im glad you are happy

    actually, Iwould say that the people pushing for the change are the ones that feel their gender is more important than their humanity, not those of us trying to figure out what the fuck to call someone without offending them

    so...are you a man or a woman? This is not a trick question or a way to say got ya I am always confused when someone says that. So is a trans woman a man who wants to be a woman or a woman who wants to be a man?

    Thats a good question that I have been asking myself for a while . i would love to see results

    If the answer is yes, I may need to re think the way I think about this. But if the answer is no, then perhaps people predisposed to suicide are also predisposed to body mutilation and mentally ill

    Actually I had someone use that argument against me yesterday when debating this

    we looked it up in the dictionary and right in the definition of "gender" the number 1 on the item list was "sex"

    its only modern teaching that says gender is how you "feel" Biology says otherwise

    Im just angry that it wont let me choose what I want

    Today I "feel" Like a god, and I should be able to put that as my gender. but it wont allow me to do that.. Why is facebook catering towards those other 50 genders but wont allow me to choose how I "feel"??

    Everyone I have debated with on this issue who is for it tells me that gender is about how one feels, not what organs they were born with. By that logic, I am not being discriminated against as facebook will cater towards straight gay and transgendered, but not how I "feel"

    nothing, they are all bogus terms when it comes to speaking of "gender". You can either be male - female - or hermaphrodite. That is it.

    what you socially decide you are is a different story but biology says there are 3 genders

    we are not talking about public schools (which is what we refer to when we speak of public schools) we are talking about colleges. You can look at the graphs. As soon as the dept of ed came into fruition, The education in this country went down the hole.

    Its nothing but a scheme to funnel money from one place to another. Its no different than highway funding where the federal government says things like "oh, so i see you need your roads paved, we will stop paying you if you dont raise the drinking age to 21" The same issue comes with anything the federal government touches, and that included higher education

  10. Re:Holy cow, a decent idea! on Financing College With a Tax On All Graduates · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The reason the cost is so high is that the government guarantees student loans. As such the schools know they are going to get paid either way and they are doing a disservice to our people telling everything that they should go to college. Frankly not everyone should go to collge but the schools have a financial stake in getting everyone in. Drop out or not, the schools get paid, as such, the cost of education has sky rocketed since the guarantee of loans

    Not identified, but not unknown. Since been fired from his job too.

    right, because it would be so hard to make such a claim when there is no way to verify right? Let me guess there weer also pink elephants and purple unicorns who were assistants in this theft as well

    Unconstitutional in who's opinion? Yours obviously, but that doesn't make it so

    The constitution is pretty straight forward, especially the 4th, which is clearly being violated. It is not reasonable, or unreasonable to collect all data on all people. A warrant is supposed to be issued for a specific person/group for a specific item/group of items, that are related to a case. There is no case, therefore the warrant should never have been issued. I know reading comprehension is difficult for those in congress and the white house, but the reality is the constitution is simple to read for everyone, it was done that way for a reason

    Maybe its because im just used to it but I find the TWC guide easy to use. The lag sucks but its straight forward. However comcast guide, at least in NY is a joke, the on demand features are only about 20% as opposed to TW

    on the other hand, with the merger hopefully compcast gets the other 80%, and not that we lose our 80%

    Obviously you have no idea what you are talking about based on the rest of your comments on this page to date. Rand came in as a different candidate, someone to go up against the GOP establishment.

    By that logic obama must be a supporter of the KKK, since it was the democrats who created it right? I mean he must stand for what those democrats stood for before him right? and jim crow as well, that was a democratic idea so obama must approve of it based on your logic

    so, we have an unknown person making claims that his account was stolen with a keylogger. Call me skeptical but I need a little more than an un named employee. Lets hear it from the employee, not the group in the process of doing damage control.

    I am not sayign that this is not how snowden got the information, Im just saying I need more proof than the guys who are using unconstitutional secret courts word for it

    After reading all the comments in this thread I agree with your point 100%. I cant count how many times I saw plain ignorance, or sheer stupidity by people who are opposing this simply because of who is presenting it

    Is this not the exact same thing that I would wager that these exact same people complain about when it comes to the republicans blocking obama ONLY because he is obama?(Which isnt even true, there are many good reasons to oppose obama that have nothing to do with race or the fact that obama is obama but I digress)

    In NY Ive had both in a few towns separated by only a handful of miles apart. Id say that time warner is slightly better than comcast. When it comes to network speeds its better, the on demand/channel guide is 100 times better. I dont use their VOIP so I cant comment on that though.

    Obama could have ended the pracitce, instead he continued it.

    Lets also remember only 64 or so members of congress voted against the patriot act and only 2 in the senate.

    I am curious if he was one of the morons that voted for the Patriot Act and other national spying bills/exception laws that allowed this to begin with

    simple answer... no he did not, as he was not elected to congress until 2011, he could not have voted for it. and on that note his father did vote against it, perhaps you were thinking of his father
