YASNY Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 QUOTE(Texsox @ Jan 8, 2008 -> 03:17 PM) I don't want them telling me what food are safe, and inspecting the food, and all that crap. I don't want them to force me to use their police and fire protection. I don't want them making certain my water is safe. I don't want them making certain the products I use are safe. I don't want them building schools all over the damn place. Y'all are right, get them out of our lives. The water is full of flourine and the schools are crap. Not too damn sure about the food and we addressed the police when we talked about Swat teams and such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

santo=dorf Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 How is the Government controlling your thermostat different from the laws forcing auto makers to make their cars to a certain MPG? If I want to buy a truck that gets 8 MPG, than I should have the right to make that cash wasting decision. I think it prove's that a goverment dosen't need to take away guns to over take it's people. I think it also points out that other factors are invloded in taking over a people, not just taking away their guns. I'm not for taking people's guns away. I'm for people having guns. I just think people in this country over react when talking about gun control. I'm sure there's things you believe in that would put the goverment in someone's personal life too. Who needs school's anyway. Stupid Teachers. He might not be a teacher, but he can help you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, IIRC the short answer is going to be that it has gone upwards, but the longer answer is yes, the crime amounts have gone upwards, but the long-term trends were upwards before the bans were even enacted, and the long term trends have shown some sign of reversing in recent years. The longest answer is, it's complicated and I don't really know what the data show, so go read for yourself. The firearm section starts on page 71.

Other countries kick those kids out. Makes for a difficult comparison of test scores. Our crap schools attract students from all over the globe. Deadly outbreaks from contaminated water are very rare in this country. Even better is our sewer systems. America, Love it or Leave it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that's fine, your "superior" Kentucky children can then pack crops and clean toilets and make them purdy. Exactly! ... The immigrant kids (usually Asian or European, however) perform better than ours. Which was the basis for my "Crap schools" comment, at which you seemed to take offense. Our elementary and secondary schools are crap, thanks to the centralization of the educational system under the NEA. This should be handled on a state and local level with minimal interference from the Fed level. Of course, that's not the liberal way. But it is the right way. I won't even comment on your remark about Kentucky children. It doesn't deserve a response from me and such a response would probably get me some time off from Soxtalk.

Texsox Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 I retract the remark about Kentucky kids, I believe I misread your comments. I thought you were saying that the children of illegals are the poorly performing kids. Now that I slowed down and reread, I understand I made a terrible assumption. Sorry.
