Looks like the answer to 'Whaddabout them?' got answered!

We need a consultation with Alberta and the techniques they've used to successfully to keep all rats out of their province. Then we can train those folks in Montana and Minnesota and scale it up for this particular breed of ferrel pig. I mean, nothing against Saskatchewan, but really. Go to the experts.

"Pro Life" is disinformation and a lie.

2024 is already a full out disinformation campaign by Republicans.
Trump has, as Zed states, called for the end of the Constitution.
Trump has called for imprisoning his political opponents and anyone that hurts his little feefees.
Trump will be unrestrained if he gets back in office.
He is Mao's "retribution." There is no thinking in him or those that vote for him. There are only misplaced feelings of lost perceived entitlement and power. Power his followers have never had and never will have. They are tools.

There is no choice in who to vote for in 2024 if you want to live in a Constitutionally moderated democratic republic.

Proclaiming 65% of the Argentina population has lost their minds makes you ignorant.

I didn't make that claim. I do not equate 55.7% of the vote (not 65%) with 55.7% of the population. Honestly you aren't coming from a position that would grant you the right to call anyone, especially me, ignorant. You've only managed to impugn your own understanding.

This is the wacko that cloned his dog and made 5 copies, right?

The original dog was a 200 lbs English mastiff named Conan, that he believed was his son. His closest friend. His confident. When said dog died, what'd he do? Went to see a medium so he could telepathically communicate with his said dead dog.

What did he learn in that "conversation"? His dead dog was clear that he should run for President of Argentina. Seriously. He had reason to trust his dead dog's telepathic message, though. Their relationship goes back to when soon to be El Presidente Loco was a gladiator in the Roman Colosseum where they (his dead dog) first met.

So what does one do when his pet - I mean his "son" died? He cloned him. 5 times. One of which he swears is Conan incarnate and the others he calls "grandchildren."

Way too many in this world have lost their minds.

And Mao thinks this guy is just awesome?

I wish I was surprised.

Dammit. the rates are 5.7. That's worse.

5.7/120,000=x/1,000,00=47.5
2.3/700,000 = x/1,000,000=3.3

47.5/3.3=14.4
or 1,440% greater impact.

Yav: Do many if any jurisdictions report police offenses by race of the policeperson?

Interesting. Why do you ask? Systemic racism is independent of the race of those enforcing the law. That's why it's systemic. It could be sort of interesting to research that, but I'm not sure what it would tell you. For instance, South Africa under Apartheid the patrol officers were 50/50 white/black. There is no way anyone could sanely argue it wasn't designed specifically to enforce systemic racism. That was its mission.

Back to the U.S. of A:
"Police violence and racism in policing in the USA are not new or unexplained problems; they are the current manifestations of a system that was built to uphold racial hierarchy for most of the USA's history."

#33 - I've posted the stats before, with the caveats of who reports and collects it.

Do you have data with links to actual real sources that are factual? I can tell you what the numbers are last time I researched it. Update us with the latest...

I hope people are wising up to the "age appropriate" lie that's being perpetrated to enforce censorship, banning and approval of speech and information.
These religious white racists, nutcases, zealots and self-righteous moral scolds use that lie to wield power over us all. They use children as "shields" in their "holy war." We have to rise up end this nonsense.

This last election did my heart GOOD. I loved watching 'Mom's for "Liberty"' go down in flames. I can't wait for the ashes to finally be buried.

Vouchers in Florida provide a rich environment of private education options. The only issue with them is that:
a) they go to every one, no matter how much money you make.
b) the private schools have no requirements whatsoever on:
i) What is taught.
ii) Who teaches it.
iii) Teachers or having credentials to teach or even know the subject.
iv) providing food.
v) releasing results on how well they teach.
vi) anything else. There are NO requirements or state guidelines.
c) any "left over" money may be spent on just about anything you want, so:
i) if you're rich, congrats on the multi-thousand dollar windfall from us taxpayers.
ii) if you're poor you can put your kid in an utterly s**t school and have no right to find out how your kid is being taught or provided for in their "care."

The Right hates America and it's ideals. It's crystal clear, in your face obvious, and it's true in one thing after another - public schools included.

This is so ------- stupid.
Beyond stupid.

I really hope sane America finally gets its act together and stops pathetic unaccomplished morons from determining what the rest of us do, say, read, call ourselves.

Why let a few wacko zealots cause the banning of a book when 99% are fine with it?
Why let a few wacko zealots cause the banning of a an actor playing a role when that practice is as old as theater itself?

We're becoming a society that the law says we have to bend to the mentally deficient lunatics.

Also - I saw Oklahoma in 6th grade in our elementary cafeteria. Hosted by the school. In Florida.

Listening to the full report (video) I have a much better understanding of the issue and the decision.
I have no issue with this decision. It is rational and based on considered analysis.

"No, you still don't."

Cixin Liu illustrates this brilliantly in his science fiction novels. Probably best in his 2000 "The Wandering Earth." That one's not as good as 2008 "Three Body Problem" (Trilogy), but it does a masterful job of bringing Einstein's theories to life.

What percentage of those folx are shot by other black people?

Such a stupid and dumbass racist question devoid of any real thought. A regurgitation of idiocy masquerading as "informed", but nothing but an intentionally divisive aspersion.

All one hasn't to do is simply step back and takes a look at reality.

Let me help:

What percentage of white folx are shot by other white people?

Do you know the answer? The percentages are nearly the same.
Do you know why? Because people are shot where they live.
Do you understand why your disingenuous question was both stupid and racist? No, you still don't.

#11

Wow.

Yep. He nailed his problem, just hasn't figured out it's projection.

[statically valid citation required]

And righties wonder why we think they're stupid.

I doubt it. Based on what I've read from them on this thread they aren't smart enough to wonder. Wondering is too close to asking questions. That's something they just don't do.

Memories of Texas.
Texas' reservoirs run low in the dry season - to the point where the tap water tastes like wet dirt for a couple of months.
One of many things I don't miss about living there.

PragerU - videos paid for by two fracking billionaires, who have two family members sitting on the board of PragerU. Utter garbage, non-factual --------, but wrapped in a nice 5 minute video format that is perfect for indoctrination. Two billionaires that have a church, one preaches at, and is crazy as **** sounding.

#109 - that is what's happening, Bill.

If tuition at a genuinely good private school is $27,000 (not uncommon here) and the voucher pays $7,000 - where's the poor parent going to come up with $20,000? They're POOR. So if a "private" school comes along and takes the $7,000 and put the kid in "private" school with no way to check what's being taught, how the school compares to others, whether the teachers are legitimate or not, what do you think is going ot happen?

We actually have private school here where high school students are being taught by high school dropouts.

You don't think poor people will use the vouchers to get their children out of public school hell?

Folks. Just stop. Let me tell you about private schools in Florida. You NEED to know this.
1) Private schools have ZERO requirements on what is taught.
2) Private schools can teach ANYTHING.
3) Private schools do not have to have teachers with any certifications or credentials.
4) Private schools do not have to feed or make food available to any students.
5) Private schools are completely unregulated.
6) Private schools can be found in low income areas, even in strip malls, because Florida has made "education" profitable for criminals and scammers.
7) Florida's changed the availability of people to get information on any private schools in Florida, so you can't compare or find out what is going on in them.

So this "public school hell" comment is detached from reality, uninformed, malicious without fact, and ridiculous.

Now if you have $$$ in Florida there are some mighty fine private schools for your spawn. If you don't have money and you want your kid in private school you can do that - just don't think your kid is going to get even a half-ass education.

Where you been, Boaz?
Wherever it was, that place just got smarter and this place got dumber.

A proper comparison would test scores vs cost, for homeschool and public students.
