Whether we are teaching or own children or children of friends. Neighbours. We impart information all the time to others. *shrugs* This is who we are.

Quote:Originally posted by Brenda: Okay Everybody, I was NOT commenting on Mao's revolution. I am well aware of what his atrocities were and that if you were educated, you and your family were executed. And everyone carried his Manifesto around with them and everywhere he went he was lauded as the great leader. And his five year plans didn't work any better than the five year plans in Russia did. I simply was referring to the fact that all humans share information in some form on a daily bases.

Jongsie can put on his "normal person" mask for a few minutes here and there, but his idiocy, his racism, his hatred of anything and anyone who isn't exactly like him ALWAYS comes through. He can't hide it.

Gosh, I'm blushing with embarrassment at the attention. You really got your attack-anything-conservative act together though. You believe you're so damn right on everything, and got your shit so together, I'll wager that even a jackhammer couldn't drive a pushpin up either of your asses. Go ahead, prove me wrong.

Is that a derogatory remark making fun of the mentally challenged ? Much like Obama's 'special olympics' comment, it seems you folks on the Left delight in using the truly less fortunate among us as the standards by which to ridicule others.

Quote:Bobby Jindal’s Voucher Schools Teach That Slavery Was Good, and The KKK Are Great Guys Gov. Bobby Jindal’s voucher schools are teaching Louisiana kids that most slave owners were kind to their slaves, and that the KKK are civic reformers. Bobby Jindal’s usage of Louisiana as a prop for his 2016 presidential campaign is doing a lot more damage to the state than the rest of the country can ever possibly imagine. However, Jindal’s isn’t just wrecking the state for today. His “school choice” plan is being used by the far right to teach rewritten history and whitewashed racism to the state’s children. Jindal’s voucher schools will be free to teach lessons like slave owners were pretty good guys, “A few slave holders were undeniably cruel. Examples of slaves beaten to death were not common, neither were they unknown. The majority of slave holders treated their slaves well.”—United States History for Christian Schools, 2nd ed., Bob Jones University Press, 1991.” Louisiana’s kids will also be learning that the KKK is just misunderstood. In Jindal Land’s classrooms, the KKK is really a reform organization that was concerned with morality, “[The Ku Klux] Klan in some areas of the country tried to be a means of reform, fighting the decline in morality and using the symbol of the cross. Klan targets were bootleggers, wife-beaters, and immoral movies. In some communities it achieved a certain respectability as it worked with politicians.”—United States History for Christian Schools, 3rd ed., Bob Jones University Press, 2001″

It's why just about everybody here has been laughing at you for so long. You're such a sad, pathetic little child. How does the DOE's own web page , which picks a quote from Mao, then hastily " corrects " that error by first NOT having a 'quote of the day', but then completely butchers the English language in a display of bumbling incompetence.
Quote: You're missing at least 3 main points here, ( having a quote from Mao, not finding a replacement quote, then the incoherent sentence, all from the DOE ) all in a weak ass attempt to some how turn this onto a swipe at ME, with utterly baseless claims, having noting remotely to do w/ the original issue.
Quote: Does it annoy you that this govt bureaucracy's incompetence is being put on display, for all to see, that you feel the need to lash out at the messenger, while remaining blind to the actual point being made ?
Quote: Was your mommy an employee of the DOE ?
Quote: A thread about N. Korea has you yammering off about Iraq and Iran. Must be some sort of imaginary ADHD crap in your brain or something.
