Arming the teachers is just as dumb of an idea as banning guns.

I remember John Doe was paired with Firefly, and they both got the axe rather unceremoniously.

The people that want to ban guns, or put harsh gun control restrictions in effect, are basically simplifying a very complex issue. It's actually the same line of thinking that gets us a big wall on the border to deal with illegal immigration. These solutions ignore the cultural and economic realities of the United States. It would be nice if we could really get serious research done on both these issues without constant political bickering and see actual targeted reform put into effect. But I suppose would also be unrealistic.

This is a pretty interesting opinion piece. Pretty much mirrors my feelings of futility with the whole gun control political trap: https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/i-used-to-think-gun-control-was-the-answer-my-research-told-me-otherwise/2017/10/03/d33edca6-a851-11e7-92d1-58c702d2d975_story.html?utm_term=.424972d13ac9

Happy Valentine's Day everyone

I thought the fans were scum?

It helps that he has some great leaders to take the reigns, but he deserves for letting them go. He is the fastest ever to 250 wins, btw.

Or just, you know, train them not to use their gun in every situation.

They clearly didn't grow up in Mr. Rogers neighborhood.

I like the concept, but I think I'd get bored after about an hour. Which says a lot about that C+ I received in Art Appreciation class back in the day.

I don't see the problem. And that is the problem.

The impression I get is that most of these online courses are being taught by people that are barely qualified. I've taken a few. Of course, they are typically easy A's and you are just paying for a few extra credits to boost your resume, rather than actual academically challenging classes.

Does GoG really make tons of money?

I feel like something happened to this thread, because I don't remember reading the last couple days either. Glad to hear your wife is ok Shady. I took my new bike in for a tune-up because it was dropping gears. I've also got a bruised knee and hip and it is hurting my training, but I did run a PR for a 5k yesterday. It helped that students were running the 400 meter while I was doing it and I kept trying to keep them from passing me.

I showed this to my students, thanks for linking.

If it was a typo, the boast that they could afford a Costco membership wouldn't make sense. I would say a hack or a lousu aide makes more sense.

Jesus. I thought he had some semblance of common sense.

I have a hard time believing Paul Ryan would tweet that out. That would be tremendously tone deaf. $1.50 a week is a pittance.

Hopefully the check from Disney is in the mail for my idea and Amentep's screenplay.

They need a Jabba the Hutt version of The Godfather.

Going to give the Far Harbor expansion a try in Fallout 4 and go in with a more open mind about the action crafting game that they have turned it into.

The biggest longshot of the night was Philadelphia not being set on fire after the game.

Yeah, but how many crazy parents would rather their boys eat tide pods than wear a dress?

Probably a typical overcorrection for generations of repression. It will even out over time.

Futile and Stupid Gesture - Pretty interesting biography, had me hitting up the internet for me info since most of the stuff was a bit before my time. It didn't paint Chevy Chase in a very good light, that's for sure. Worth a watch if you want to know more about National Lampoon.
