    Education Comic

    I wish we lived in a time when an Ivy League degree meant that its "bearer" had received the most rigorous education in the land. Now it just signifies that the bearer paid a lot of money to get an indoctrination. I'm not sure that I'd want a surgeon who isn't fluent either in his...

    Education Comic

    Seems as though that describes a great many exchange students here in the US. It certainly fits the ones whom I encountered. Yet the rest of the world seems to think that Americans are boorish, uncivilized cavemen :rofl: My favorite tale of those who learned English as a second language...

    They might have had first, ah, hand knowledge of it. Being as they were likely at boarding school and all...

    Tim Smith - Climax.

    Wow. I hadn't heard of this but their site says that MD-of all places (I guess we do have lax liquor laws)-is going to sell it. No stores yet, but now I'm interested.

    Education Comic

    When I learned that the schools of yesteryear taught young kids like advanced mathematics, the "classics" of literature, greek, latin, French I compared that to the sad excuse for an education that I was getting and wondered where we went wrong. ~100 years ago the raging, ironic Progressive...

    Education Comic

    Though I'm all for people focusing on their aptitudes/interests, we definitely need a some basics that everyone has, though a standardized test is not the way to ensure that everyone can read, write, and calculate to at least a certain proficiency. That's where teachers who actually care and...

    Global Warming My Butt!

    Yes. Since the governors of the states through which it'd travel seem to be on-board, and the Canadians are on board, why don't we just build the pipeline across the border and see if, like any other illegal "immigrant", the feds ever notice it. From the articles I've seen, the ICE...

    Education Comic

    "Soft skills" are not what the education system is for: we're supposed to be learning facts and hone our ability to think freely, not being "taught" merely what to think and how to act. Back when school was about learning to to think, not learning what to think, we were #1. Curse John Dewey...

    Global Warming My Butt!

    Bill V, that has to be a joke, right? I mean, no rational person would genuinely argue that one "law" is true simply because we generally accept another "law" to be true and that if one "law" is good than any other "law" must be as well. By your argument, it doesn't matter that you can't...

    Education Comic

    Standardized tests are a right-oriented position? When did that happen (and why are the biggest standardized tests run by the left-leaning College Board)? Only the left-leaning schools worship the test scores, focusing only on "teaching to the test" in their efforts to avail themselves of...

    Good news for us Ford truck guys...

    So attractive men drive black Ford pickups, but driving a pickup isn't what makes them attractive?

    Global Warming My Butt!

    Here in MD, the rivers and Bay have been freezing. My county has had to actually get its icebreaking ship out of mothballs and use it to crunch through as many as 5 inches of ice. We haven't seen that much ice in 10 years. I'm sure that all y'all who live in areas where ice fishing and...

    Intresting, will our Utah members help

    If there's a state that should know that the Federal government will always give it the short end of the stick it is Utah. I'm not sure how this can happen as the people of Utah elected at least one Senator to represent them who opposes this. When a majority of the state puts a guy in office...

    Car wash Prank

    I hope that bird can fly, because that guy seemed liable to climb up there after him. BTW, I noticed that the car barely "bounced" when he sat down in the drivers seat.

    Global Warming My Butt!

    Hugh, maybe you could make some money off of those eco-hippies who got themselves stuck in the Antarctic summer ice on that Russian ship, since their rescue cost way more carbon than they originally budgeted for. EDIT: here in MD, we're having the closest thing that we've had to a...

    Intresting, will our Utah members help

    I hope so. Utah, don't get bought off by the NSA's 30 pieces of silver like MD was. My state struck a deal with the NSA to get our water for the data center that will open at the actual NSA complex here in MD, in 2016. The NSA will give Howard County 40 million tax dollars to build a...

    Anyone know about this theft device?

    Sounds to me like the designers of the system took the easy route by not making it so the key fob transmitter only increments its code if the car confirms that it has received the signal.

    New 2015 Ford F-150 goes lighter, smarter ? and maybe better than ever

    Aluminum is a glorified clay :sad: I hope it works out as I'd like to see Ford beat the bailed-out automakers and I'd like to see the end of that "most efficient V8 engine in a truck, with better fuel economy than Ford Ecoboost V6" commercial (the one where the lone man is driving his empty...

    Math question

    I thought you were in South Carolina, the last bastion of common sense on the East Coast. I guess the idiots down there who elected "Gramnesty" are also involved in the tax code. What the heck is this tax anyhow? Are they making you pay for the privilege of having a vehicle, outside of...
