  1. Of course, he is related to Kenn Starr. I wonder how he feels about rape? take this quarter, go downtown, and have a rat gnaw that thing off your face.
  2. Tim Weiser is a grifter who lies about everything.
  3. The ploy would be to undermine the education and force parents to seek out private schools and possibly move them to supporting initiatives like the school voucher programs which are to take money away from public schools and push them into private/charter schools. Miles has a conflict of interest as he is a founder and proponent of charter schools. This is akin to putting Exxon executives in charge of the EPA and then pretending that he might be objective. Egos and lack of intelligence is just a throw-away sentence. Give examples. Corruption makes headlines because it includes people siphoning public money away from the designated use for pet projects which are designed to enrich friends of individuals. That is NEWS. The issues with education are numerous and not easy, but the involvement of politics in our education system has undercut our education not improved it. Schools are saddled with more responsibilities and teachers are required to do more than they used to. And define waste. Is that something you don't like or is it something like a golden toilet for the superintendent? Because one of them is easy to identify, but the others are not. Let's focus on one issue currently. SPED teaching aides are not required to have special training to work with SPED kids. This creates challenges for the kids and the schools. Just like with every industry out there how does one attract qualified, committed people for a particular job? And also if you don't come here with an open mind and willing to learn, that speaks more about you than anyone else. Don't project your prejudice upon others. During a discussion and disagreement with Naija about genital mutilation I didn't pretend to be an expert or know everything and I solicited input from those who disagreed with me to read some published material and provide feedback. I did so because I wanted to share a different viewpoint, but also to learn. I defer to the actual physician about the impact because well, it was his area. Brisket Texan was misinformed about the role of Alcibiades (who was a complex individual) and his role in the destruction of the Athenian force in their Syracuse/Sicilian campaign during the Peloponnesian war. He didn't attempt to argue to the contrary but I think rather appreciated how much more enriching that history and this controversial figure was. So no, I reject your idea that this isn't a place for sharing of ideas and changing minds. We still enjoy our dick and fart jokes, but facts matter here to most of us.
  4. 2008 Tech game was also quite an exposition in two sets of rules. The Tech O-line was allowed to do anything they wanted including wrestling moves and they let them get away with it, even when they injured Orakpo. On top of that, they penalized Texas for holding which was not holding just to drive the point home that the fix was in. They put the thumbs on the scale for that game. We still had a chance but, had the game been called correctly, it wouldn't have been close. Tech mysteriously wasn't called for holding that game which was an aberration from all their previous games and IIRC the games after that.
  5. Sounds like they should run the 10-yard minimum offense!
  6. You must be new. We clearly acknowledge bad calls for our team. Including the Iowa State win. But keep projecting.
  7. My son asked to play left field for a few innings on the last two games of the season. He was denied. I suppose I should have brought a gun and shot his son to keep it real. Missed opportunities I suppose.
  8. No rivalries really left. Okie state and Tech? Kansas and KSU? Maybe they can manufacture TCU and Baylor….
  9. The ref fuckery has been going on long before 2015. But if you don't pay attention or have a crap memory it might not seem like it.
  10. Actually I expect them to be reasonably similar in how they define a catch, call holding/PI, etc.
  11. I think next pandemic I will be anti-vax.
  12. Well, got one night in Bangkok in my head now
  13. So Texas was supposed to work for years building up the relationships, and getting the foundations off the ground for developing a network, and just give away one-half of the revenue to the junior partner who did nothing to establish the business or get the financing in order? Only an aggy runs a business like that.
  14. Pizza with extra anchovies
  15. I don't see what the problem is. In statistics, we just remove the outlier.
