But you take risks in doing so.. I'm sure that was what was contemplated this time around, but in this environment, the public doesn't like TAXES, and the opposition will use it against you in the next election..
No matter how you attempt to bring this size of project to the people, it has to be paid for, and alas that is the rub..
I thought we, our party, didn't act any better than the Repubics when the President tried to sell it.. The single payer would have been so much better, but the costs are prohibitive, and no one wants to pay for anything, they just have the want and need..
This program would have passed in a better economy, without the fuss, and a salesman as good as Obama, but he and we were confronted with this financial reality..
Lets us by all means let this New York kid say that everyone is entitled to speak his mind! Oops.
Lets us now consider that some inbred in Mississippi wants to tell 500 kids that Gays are freaks of nature, Lets all applaud.. Geeze, where is your head?
Let us all agree, let 5th graders be kids for a decent amount of time before he/or she, has to understand the world is really unfair, and sometimes we have to conform because life has consequences..
I have a pre-existing condition as well, and I don't like it one bit..
If the Feds can compel us to buy anything from an industry, when will the next shoe drop?
If you think the Presidency will not eventually go to a Repub is not thinking far enough ahead. The same with congress..
If President Jeb Bush, and say, Issa as speaker where to take control, with Rubio as leader of this future Senate, what tea party wet dream could we be facing? What is good for the goose etc..
I love the attempt by this administration, except for mandates. I hope the entire law is found unconstitutional, so this threat stops here and now! Let the law be rewritten correctly this time, with the limitations in place..
Trust me, if it goes down, and we will win in November, the country will demand that the best of this law will have to be included in the next. Now that we got teased with this attempt the country will expect our future congress and Pres. will be compelled to correct it..
Why did she have to explicitly explain ORAL SEX to an 11 year old in the first place?
This is basicly what I told my children when they were old enough to pondered these situations.
Some people do things with their mouths that can be just as dangerous as anything that can make you very, very sick, you shouldn't do anything that can, and probably will, make you sick enough to make you die.. Just don't do anything that pertains to adult sex until you are old enough to understand what these things are, that are bad for you.
If you have any more question, ask your parent or make your question know to your teacher and we will make arrangements to get you the answers..
Do you want to add to the child's confusion by using indirect language?
Here is a not so rhetorical answer.. a....ah... YEAH! I want to keep this filth away for my innocent child for as long as possible, our perverted culture will have at them soon enough..
That is why this stuff is controversial. You have convinced me that you are serious in your opinions, and I do respect that, I would love for you to return the favor..
Other options were available to this educator..
Thats all I'm saying. But I didn't know you were there, thus;
The child who asked the question was undoubtedly not the only one who needed this information.
Can you think of another way to explain this situation, beside SUCKING a penis, and LICKING a vagina.. Give it a bit of thought, I'm sure any adult can transmit this concern without such a graphic description.. jus sayin
This was the parent's option..
You have created a straw man, with far too many assumptions.. "which leaves three main possibilities: they either get no answer at all, they ask their friends, or they ask the internet"
Maybe my assumption is more correct, we have the responsibilities for our kids. How are you to take the opportunity away from me, without prior approval, I wouldn't have believed our principal would have taken such liberties with children so young, so I couldn't be prepared to opt out of that lesson. You could bet your bippie that I would have not have accepted your explanation, which is your right to express, for her to not be prepared for this scenario, if she intended to get so graphic..
Please understand, I'm not unaware of the problems we are confronted with in this failing culture. But, maybe we should expect or start to demand more from our parents, if we want to improve this situation..
When did it become the responsibility of school teachers, and no longer the parent, to guide our offspring with morals that are expected of our society?
That is the only real answer, if there is to be any improvement in the future. Teachers have enough to do to educate kids, without having the added burden of raising our children to conform to life in a community of decent citizens..
OMG, here I go.. I don't agree, at least I can offer another scenario..
I was a single Dad, 5 kids, and now a single grand dad, 1, a preteen, the other a teen.. This is a broad brush approach, judging all kids on the same level. Here is where we get into some trouble, we know that these children have to be taught the facts of life, but some kids are raised with a bit more guidance than others. I didn't allow my young-in's out of my sight, except for their time in school, so I had my kids fed and bathed and ready for bed at 8 o'clock until they were teenagers. I knew they were every night, and who they were with when away from my control, with parents that were as protective as I am..
I know and knew, that my kids were advancing into adulthood at their own speed as I saw it individually. I was very active in their school, and socially, and not exposed to many children that where practicing many inappropriate behaviors.
Am I sure? I'm telling you, you can bet your ass I am.. That was my job as a parent, my only job!
For that principal to answer with such specificity, was wrong, for to her assume that every kid was ready to be spoken to, using the lowest possible denominator. I have been confronted with very similar circumstances, with my kids and some of their friends, and my answer was, they should ask their parent to explain that answer.. She should have said the same, or suggest that they allow her to confer with the adult in their life..
I was not that unusual in our community, except that I was one of the few single dads..
Trying to micromanage small businesses is disastrous and undueable.
If anyone thinks a small business can be punished for not paying the least productive member of their staff more money, will get more than what they bargained for, ask Jimmy Carter..
He tried to put curbs on gas prices that were surging, and in low supply, causing gas shortages. The Mideast cartels answered with shorter supplies, and rising prices even more. Finally, long gas lines, almost doubling gas prices that never returned to previous levels, and calls for Carter's head..
Carter's answer, rise in minimum wages to pacify low income wage earners to cover higher costs that the inflation costs in everything that was raised because of the higher freight and transportation charges spiraled up..
Results.. For 6 to 8 months it worked, until large and Small businesses that survived, adapted to the new reality and abolished low income workers, GAS STATION ATTENDANTS, gone forever, now we pump our own gas, white table cloth restaurants became fast food outlets, were we now carry our own food to tables, or the elimination of busboys, causing waitresses and waiters to clean their own tables, etc. Janitors, custodians, gave way to cleaning companies that did multiple operations per shifts, requiring less workers more productivity, less service at department stores, Robotics in manufacturing, part time, temp employees, etc, and much Higher inflation, higher credit card debt, Higher unemployment, most of the losses were youth workers that lost a chance at an entry level jobs..
Finally.. Ronald REAGAN
WTF
I know the administration, and the legislature are trying to cut the burgeoning debt, but to start with the VA.. Where is your head, not to think about where is their heart??? SHIT!
Isn't there a few congress-critters that can do without a limo or two, or perhaps a jet, to keep a nurse for our wounded Vet???
I want to know where this started, who is responsible for this stupid blunder? Where did this buck stop?
