Spin Zone / Re: Will Britain Be the First......
« on: December 11, 2023, 02:02:48 PM »I lived and worked in Japan for 2 years.
I wish I took more pictures when I was there. But I do have a few when I climbed Mt. Fuji and in front of the Olympic rings where they did the downhill events. I'm too lazy too look that up right now.

I miss Japan. I spent 15 months assigned to the U.S. Embassy in Tokyo from 2000-2001. And yes. You conform to their culture, language, etc. Not the other way around. I also spent 12 months on Okinawa, but even though that's technically Japan, it's almost like 2 separate cultures.

Even if you suck at teaching they most they can do is give you an office in the basement and (ironically) overload you with teaching (which you suck at) until you leave.
Tenure should allow faculty to say and do research on things that are currently unpopular. That's "academic freedom". Yeah, she should not be in a position that represents her university and say something as stupid and wrong as she did. She was rightly removed from that position. However, as tenured faculty she should have the freedom to say it. Stupid and wrong as it is.
Depends on the research and who's footing the bill. Shrimps running on treadmills or condom use of gay people in South America, no. Researching some alternative cure for cancer, yes. I also believe in free speech, but also being held accountable for your speech. Personally, fuck all these leftist "academics". For years they have been attacking conservative speakers who have been trying to speak on campus accusing them of hatred and inciting violence. Now they are trying to hide behind free speech while defending terrorists who murder babies and innocent people. They deserved to be fired.

Spin Zone / Re: FBI is busy entrapping Catholic altar boys
« on: December 06, 2023, 09:37:42 AM »I wouldn't support banning home-schooling. But I have seen some tragic results from idiots trying to home-school their kids. Namely my ex-SIL and my four nephews, along with a few others. My nephews spent more time going shopping with their mother and playing video games than studying.
On the other hand, I have seen some terrific results too. Personally I would like to see the home-schoolers take on that job part-time when the kids come home from the other school. Socialization and structure are important parts of education.
I'm not sure how I would feel about giving home schooled kids some sort of progress testing, even if it is voluntary.
My cousin homeschools his 2 youngest. Him and his wife are the idiots parents. His wife is too lazy to wake up in the morning to get them to school on time and likes the fact she can take them to Florida over the winter while she lays by her mom's pool and does nothing all day.

« on: December 05, 2023, 07:23:47 AM »I don't know if I am the Joe you are talking about, but I never said that and won't now.
It's not BECAUSE he is such a bad person, it is IN SPITE of it.
Some people actually think that he will be able to match or exceed all the good things he did during his first term. I am not one of those people, but I am one of the people that thinks he could not possibly be as bad for the country as another Democrat administration.
If/when he gets the nomination, I will actively support and vote for him. But I'd prefer not to vote for someone because he is not as bad as the other guy. I wish there was someone I could vote for that I actually trust and respect. sigh
You pretty much summed up what is wrong with politics in our country. We don't have good candidates, we have bad or worse to choose from.

The media is drooling that the left can get complete comtrol of the narrative. Then nobody will call them out on their lies.

It's time we remove ourselves from the UN and kick them out of our country. The overwhelming majority of member countries hate us. Fuck them.

« on: November 17, 2023, 10:25:13 AM »
I had a few kids in my school that their parents escaped from Iran in the 70's. They talked about family in Iran getting locked up for not being in lock step with the regime. Needless to say they assimilated 100% into America. All became successful and I have never seen or heard of them posting anything online degrading our country. Hell, I never heard them speak anything other than English, and none of them had any accents (except Midwest Ohio) at all.

How far away is the death cult democrat party from that? Sure they won’t kill the mother because she’s a reliable democrat voter, but they clearly have absolutely zero regard for the baby.
They already would if they could.

Every time someone I know on the left cries about us needing "common sense" gun control laws I point out the thousands of guns laws we have. They get the deer in headlights look. They don't know how to respond, or cry that it's not enough or not the right laws; i.e. total restrictions. I also point out that if democrats and a certain percentage of our population stopped committing crimes, there would be very little gun crimes. I don't bring up suicides in gun deaths because that is also a fact they can't wrap their little minds around either.
