  1. Some fit your description, some do not - it varies on the state one is in and the type of homeschooling you have applied for. If, say, you are in Virginia, you must either apply for a religious exemption (in this case you can never apply to the public school system, until college, without notifying the state of a change in your status), present a draft of your curriculum, or have a higher degree from an accredited college or university. Also, for the latter two options, you must either present a portfolio for examination or take a standardized test. Some states are more lax, some are harsher - but nearly all have the religious exemption option, something that does not fall under your description.
  2. Ok, you just crossed a line that should not have been touched when you equated atheism, pre-martial sexual lessons, and excessive game playing to doing drugs, being stupid, and being a satanist. You clearly do not know anything about what you speak of when it comes to the disbelief in a god-being, or beings, nor should you ever be put in charge of a child's education - for you would, if you used the same logic displayed here, surely **** things up. I really do not give a **** if people want to have pre-martial sex as long as they are willing to accept the consequences, nor is playing video games for seventy-two hours a week necessarily a bad thing. P.S. Go Samm, I'll address some of the issues you raised, and I support most -if not all- of what you said, either later tonight or tomorrow.
  3. The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past (GBA) is another classic one, as well as the original Zelda and Zelda: The Adventures of Link.
  4. Yeah, that's why I got mine - I had a limited amount of funds (about $950) and wanted to get the best deal possible, and the Vostro 1500 was the best deal from a reputable dealer at the time (It still might be the best deal in the $700-$900 price range).
  5. Black Adder, right?
  6. They should have never allowed so much of their future plans rest on that white elephant - it is neither practical or preferred.
  7. I am almost positive that I have seen the second picture in several books regarding the Normandy Landing on D-Day.
  8. Yes, everyone should get the chance to educate their own children, but, just in case they choose to abuse the privilege, there should be a fail-safe.
  9. So is the other method. Keep sex ed out of the public school system altogether. I can teach my own children when I think it is appropriate. Thank you very much I would disagree, for families who do not approve of things such as birth-control and abortion could easily spread harmful lies and misinformation through their children - just as some moronic missionaries are doing in Africa, despite the AIDs epidemic.
  10. *Damn, I cannot remember HK's response to the existence of the 50s.*
  11. I actually like British humor, it tends to be drier and wittier than most of its American counterparts.
  12. Statement: Meatbag, you should have known better than to question my superiority.
  13. Abstinence-only sexual education is a well-proven failure, although some parts of the Republican Party refuse to acknowledge this, and should be stuck from the school curriculum in favor of something that might actually be of some practical use. So, yes, indirectly sexual education, or, rather, the lack of a proper one, is responsible for some of the problem. No! Use CNN! http://www.cnn.com/2008/HEALTH/conditions/...d.ap/index.html No thank you, I'll stick with the BBC.
  14. The Vostro is one of the Small Business models, although you can buy them even if you do not have a small business. The Vostro section of the Dell Website.
  15. I'm currently playing through the classic campaign on Brawl as Zelda/Sheik.
  16. Why? Do they not have the right to report on a study that was originally done by the CDC? Also, I looked into the report, and the data collection was started before the HPV Vaccine was approved, or even submitted for testing, so the current number of cases might be less.
  17. No problem.
  18. Ok, if you were to get a notebook I would look at either the Vostros from Dell or one of the two notebooks from Alienware - although the XPS systems might be another option. I've had no problems with either of those brands in the past.
  19. And the current push, mainly from religious groups, for abstinence-only sexual education is not helping the situation.
  20. Yes, it would appear that you are enjoying the wine...
  21. Yeah, they were easy to read - and your PC is, like you said, neither the worst nor the best out there. I googled the model number on the screenshot, and if you haven't already upgraded the system RAM you might want to consider doing that.
  22. I think you just provided the answer to your question.
  23. Lie, tell the truth, I don't really care - that's up to the parents and not myself.
