Re: No, No, Don't Worry. Racism is Pretty Much Over.
This is also true. I can think of only one person I went to school with who, upon learning she became a teacher, I thought that she was really well suited to the work. All the others seemed perfect for continuing the tradition of making kids hate school.Kory wrote: ↑03 Nov 2021, 12:11pmI know the people from my high school who went on to become teachers and it's fucking terrifying.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑01 Nov 2021, 9:22amThe most discomforting thing for me when I encounter ed students, or wannabe ed students, is that they say they want to be teachers because they love kids.

I wasn't sure if I should post this here or under the Dictator or Trump threads, fits well in all of them IMO.
Seems one of the January 6th insurgents just got sentenced to 60 days. Kind of surprised, her defense rationale was some priceless shit.

60 days aint enough. Im kind of in the BBE camp in regards to a lot of these people. But seriously less than a year is ridiculous. Her white privilege didn't get her what she wanted but 60 days is pretty light all things considered.Sparky wrote: ↑04 Nov 2021, 2:44pmI wasn't sure if I should post this here or under the Dictator or Trump threads, fits well in all of them IMO.

I'm in 100% agreement with you. Treasonous behavior is good for a hell of a lot longer that that. IMO those convicted should be forfeiting their right to vote and remain on some type of lifetime probation of sorts, clearly somebody needs to keep an eye on them.revbob wrote: ↑04 Nov 2021, 3:05pm60 days aint enough.

Re: No, No, Don't Worry. Racism is Pretty Much Over.
Nor do I, I'm not on the right but not on the left either, simply someone who truly believes in law and order. Those who tried to overthrow our democracy on January 6 don't deserve to retain their US citizen ship because it's pretty obvious our constitution means zip to them.revbob wrote: ↑04 Nov 2021, 4:13pmI dont really classify myself as a liberal so...Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑04 Nov 2021, 4:04pmWhy do liberals hate democracy so much?Sparky wrote: ↑04 Nov 2021, 3:52pmPlease allow me to edit my previous post with regards to MY sentencing guidelines.....they should also be banned from seeking public office and prohibited from owning / posseting firearms as well.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑04 Nov 2021, 3:49pmShe'll be out in time to run and win a seat in Congress for 2022.
