    kakistocracy literally means "government by the worst people"

    While I appreciate your nod towards accuracy, Brockhorn was providing the lulz, and isn’t that the important thing here?

  2. I grew up Sourhern Baptist as well. And I turned out gay. So even if I still believed in the Southern Baptist way I’d be damned. I don’t, so I don’t worry about it. I try to remember that it is none of my business what other people think of me. I’ll live my life the best way I can, and my family, who is still Southern Baptist, can think what they want. If they feel bad about it, ain’t shit I’m willing to do about it, because I can’t make myself believe, and I’m past the point of pretending for their sake. 

    Love your family. Do your best. Don’t worry about the shit you either can’t or won’t do anything to fix.

    Is this real?

    Never mind that both #1 and #2 on that list have been investigated more than anyone in history.

    It appears to be a reordering of a list the NRA sent out earlier that day as well.  So yeah, this is the right wing echo chamber view of who should be in jail.

    You guys know Nixon ended the Vietnam war right? He didn’t start it.  Yeah, he delayed peace talks for political purposes but there was no guarantee those talks would have produced any results.  Nixon was guilty of serious malfeasance including unnecessarily escalating the war but to put the clusterfuck of the Vietnam war on him is ignoring some glaring facts IMO.

    What the actual fuck? It took you 56 minutes to go from not being able to assess it because you aren’t old enough to having a definitive opinion. Can we not get on a Vietnam sidetrack please?

    How about just leave Politics as Politics.

    For new members to the forum, it’s often challenging to navigate the board when the forums have non-descriptive names.   

     

    If they can't figure it out, they aren't smart enough to post here.

    I've been seeing a lot about teacher pay lately, so I did some research.

    The Bureau of Labor Statistics in 2013 said the average college graduate made $55,432. The Texas Classroom Teachers Association says that in 2013 the average US teacher made $56,383. 🤔 That would appear to be higher than the average college graduate. NY teachers were at $75,000 a year & South Dakota was at a low of $39,500, but I would (I'm sure correctly) assume that the same type of pattern holds for non teacher pay in those states as well.

    One thing that isn't taken into consideration...for those college educated people working outside of Gov and education, there is no early retirement or pension plan.

    IF teachers want more money...then they've got to also step up and give up guaranteed employment.  I'm not paying top wages for teachers that suck just because you've achieved 2 years of tenure.  

    That said, both our kids are in private school.  Because not matter what your thoughts on teachers pay, our education system sucks. 

    But a teacher at year 20 is still making 55k a year and a college educated professional is making double or triple that if they’ve tried at all to grow their career. There is no long term financial upside for teachers that exists almost everywhere else. Don’t forget that when you do your analysis.

    Go back to shaggy or Tyler you pointy headed faggot.

    Dude, seriously, fuck off with that faggot shit. I'm sick and fucking tired of watching you nimrods call each other names, but not even having the energy to be creative about it.  If all you can come up with in your name calling is to call someone gay in a nasty way, you need to work on your fucking insult game and shut the fuck up until you are better at it.  Its lame, its stupid, and its already old and played out for most by the time they get to high school.  Do better motherfucker.

    Raycom Sports was tits.

    Fuck that. Those motherfuckers would replay the game and skip whole god damned quarters of it due to time constraints, but they’d show every second of halftime, pregame and post game.

    Looks like we have exactly one legendary coach, then.  The Brown. Then Akers?

    Yeah in football we only have one legendary coach. We have a few in the other sports though.
