i played some tennis a few times with the chairman of the sociology department at wesleyan university in CT ( i was careful not to bring up politics, as i’d have zero in common with him, and he was a nice guy).
He told me that he can’t track his hours in a way that averages out to 30 hours a week. even adding in office hours, preparing lesson plans, teaching, grading papers, department meetings,he can’t get it to 30 hours a week. and that’s when school is in session, which is approximately 34 weeks each year. a big big reason why college costs so much.

the kid had imperious righteousness, yet had zero ability to explain anything. that’s what happens what you’re taught what to think, not how to think?

good news is that if these leftists ever decide they actually want to fight it out over America...it won't last very long  |

agreed, the next civil war will be a whole lot shorter than the first one.
that kid couldn’t admit that the interviewer was asking him a question.
interviewer: what disinformation are we spreading?
kid: you don’t want to know.
interviewer; yes i do, that’s why i just asked you.
kid: no you didn’t.
he couldn’t admit that the guy asked him a question. why couldn’t he admit that?
what are we preparing that kid for, exactly? perhaps his own show at CNN?

So the guys who aren’t proud enough of their beliefs to admit them in public or at work, think that the cosplay warriors would put up a fight

Frasier: Niles, I’ve just had the most marvelous idea for a website! People will post their opinions, cheeky bon mots, and insights, and others will reply in kind!
Niles: You have met “people”, haven’t you?

Pete, you guys denying that media and academia have a liberal bias, makes exactly as much sense as my denying that foxnews has a conservative bias. Anyone who'd say that, is both an idiot and a liar. You'd deny the sky is blue if the DNC told you to. |

Back before the internet, I’d go to the comics in the Sunday paper first, nothing better than a good laugh to start your day. Now I come to the SB political forum to chuckle watching you two girls pee In each other’s pool thread after pathetic thread. I will give Pete credit for persistence, Jim cudos for always being right and Wayne credit for attempting to have a respectable debate. Ross will chime in occasionally to attempt to bring in civility, but that is of course an exercise in futility. Scott loves to show how SMART (said in a hard Boston accent) he is, always on the lookout for a chance to jump on someone not watching out for spell check errors and always the occasional do drop in by Dad and others with pearls of wisdom.
And then there is DeBarr, just a trolling Midwest crappie fisherman who absolutely loves listening to himself.
Carry on I’m enjoying the #^&#^&#^&#^& show.
