Condolences.

First thing I thought of was a Spore creature.

No reason, it was just a curiosity. I figured if someone was conversating in a certain language they would say everything in that language. Like in the middle of your response you use "download" for no particular reason. Why?

Huh, theres no Italian word for "dungeon" or "siege"? I hear that a lot where I work. They will all be talking in Japanese with occasional words in English, like the word doesnt exist in Japanese.

I like it when the spines form a picture when placed next to each other in order. Funny that HK's book purchace has the actual actors for the series on them.

Aww, adorable. I have a poop catastrophe story too, or I should say my wife does. You kow that little channel that forms between the butt crack and the diaper? Years ago when my daughter was still an infant my wife was just holding her when all of a sudden she pooped with such force that it came up that channel and shot into the air like some kind of horrible poop gyser, coating my wifes head and face. I believe thats the only time Ive ever laughed hysterically whilst simultaneously dry heaving.

And its because we accomodate idiots like that that will be the downfall of the West. It doesnt even have to be an actual religon to be successfully argued that thats his religous headgear? Wow.

Congrats!

Here we have SuperWal-Mart's. They literally combined a full blown grocery store with a full blown Wal-Mart. The prices are so low, its ridiculous.

I stared at that long and hard during last weeks sale but ultimately decided there were just to many blips on the screen, lol. Let us know what you think once you get started.

MIT demos flexible solar panels printed on paper.

I see. Well, with ironclad debate skill like that I guess Ill just have to widthdraw.

C'mon, pay attention. This is the UK and Frances war. At least get the basics right. So you're saying the US has no involvement at all? C'mon, pay attention. *sigh* Id love to pay attention to your inane rambling but you fall on your face right out of the gate. Lets review: So lets start out easy, whats wrong with the above statement? Thats right, we arent leading this one. Now lets examine this piece of work: What, pray tell, should we have learned from the actions of France and the UK on this matter?

C'mon, pay attention. This is the UK and Frances war. At least get the basics right.

Had my mother in law over yesterday for her 72nd birthday. Charred up some meat on the grill, played some board games, good times.

Not to mention it leaves us totally incapable of returning to space on our own (and with no replacement program in sight) and entirely dependant on the Russians. How stupid.

Lab-made organ implanted for first time.

I never use my home line, 100% of my calling is done using my cell phone. TBH, Im not even sure if it still works, lol. The only reason I still have a dedicated home phone line is....Im not sure.

I agreed with this particular point above, you probably didnt see it. I see you subscribe to the school of "if you cant beat them, throw in the towel". You can shrug your shoulders if you like but I expect more out of our educators. C'mon, we arent splitting the atom here. For example, if your schools science scores are tanking I dont think it takes a genius to figure out which teachers in that department arent up to snuff.

If they want to learn, sure. My wife teaches PE, and she can't even get a good chunk of the kids to dress out or walk a mile in 20 minutes. It's all based on communities and how they prioritize education. Agreed. Are you also saying the large percentage of children doing poorly in standardized testing is comprised of only ne'er-do-wells?

What is this pressure you refer to? Accountability? Doing ones job? The program sprung into place do to unacceptably high percentages of US children doing poorly. What entity is directly responsible for educating our children? Teachers. So if the teachers are asleep at the wheel dont you feel they should be held accountable in some way? Shouldnt there be some metric for grading individual teachers capabilities in how they perform their jobs?

I would guesstimate a large percentage. "The system" doesnt make people liars and cheats, their own morals allow it. Besides, I dont think anyone here will claim the US public education system is a ball buster so unless you're teaching retards every child should be easily teachable up to the minimum levels. IMO.
