I am not amused. Neither is god



See? She's not amused.

Awww C'mon its tradition. A female shows up and you are nice to her, you flirt with her for a thread or two.

I'm inclined to agree. Though personally, I would just prefer a girl to come onto me instead of forcing myself on her. Just not my style.

Didn't even finish college. She attended a minor college for slightly over a year for photography or some other bullshit (can't remember) and still landed the job of a project lead at IBM. Basically, in the tech department if she gets one more promotion she'll earn 50,000+ a year



All I ever hear from teachers is bitching about how hard their jobs are. The only people preserving mediocrity are the teachers themselves. They choose to work for the government. They demand higher pay while their output is pathetic and that is being overly generous. Tell me why the pay should be raised when the majority of the schools are complete sinkholes for money and are terrible excuses for an education. If a private school educated its students so poorly then parents would immediately withdraw their children and resort to educating them at home.

Your solution of reward people first then expect them to perform on their end is simply utter nonsense. Offering higher pay won't draw more "dedicated" teachers. It'll just draw more fuck ups and more tax money will be pissed away on good for nothing jerk offs. This is why schools are now going by merit pay. If you don't perform then you don't get paid and that is how it should be. Those who perform will be rewarded with better pay while those screw ups won't perform and will have to find a new career.

The best solution is to privatize schools, give low and middle income families a tax break or a check worth roughly the amount of education a month (based on family income). While only giving the dirt poor a free ride and basically making low and middle class pay smaller portion of the "fees" or whatever to attend school. The only thing left up to the people is making sure their child behaves itself while in school. Schools would compete with one another to draw students and better teachers. More would be required from teachers but, the private sector would pay them a lot more than the government does and it wouldn't be at tax payers expense. If a school doesn't perform for the student then the parents can remove their child and send them to a different school. The tax payer would have it's taxes lowered. Everyone receives access to education, student receive better education than the pathetic government education, teachers are paid more and the demand for good teachers will increase thus drawing more people to the job since the pay will be good and the "problems" teachers currently face will be screened out before the child even steps foot in the classroom.

If you think about it. A shortage of fine teachers is the best thing for a teacher. As having so few around, a teacher can almost set their price. Schools will scramble to acquire the best teachers.

Though, this will never happen because the union members won't allow it to happen. They put themselves before the education of our youth.

Edit: Just to be clear. I think the level of education in public schools is so poor that I will never send my child (if I ever have any) to a public school even if they do reform the entire system.

I'd say McCain had the edge as "Town Hall" style is his ground. I plan on watching it when it comes around the second time in the morning. So my answer may change and go more in depth after that. Even though I would hand McCain the edge I wasn't thrilled with anything. I even changed the channel at one point and hard to fight to make myself turn back.

Then become a teacher at a private school. They pay a more than the government equivalents. You don't have to deal with troublesome students and if the student is too bad then the school will kick them out.

You also apparently don't understand supply and demand on jobs. If very few people were becoming teachers then the schools would have to offer more to attract people in order to fill those jobs. The pay remains "low" because there are enough people who will work for 54,000 a year with annual raises and the other upsides. $54,000 a year is more than respectable. My ex works at IBM and earns $23/hr and earns less than that. Sorry, if teaching doesn't pay 100k a year. They just aren't worth that much. The market has set a specific pay for teachers. If you want higher wages either go to the private sector or socialize all schools and have the union intimidate more democrats into raising the teachers pay to 100K a year.

I'll also point you here

I felt the need to post this too.

Ya think!? Quick someone get elfen in here and make him hit on her!

Whose the stalker? Hibia isn't around and Elfen hasn't hit on her.

The general standing within the community. People with higher rep are respected or revered. Those with negative rep are generally regarded as trolls or just unpopular.

How to give rep. Get a certain number of posts. I think it's 15.

Youthful. If I saw you on the street I would assume you were J.B.

Seriously, everyone. Shut the fuck up.

Moral of the story is: Pay attention to the information you leave behind. It might be a tidbit here and there but, it adds up. Everything from your facebook to the info you leave on a website. All of it can give determined people a trail of bread crumbs back to you.

They have one of the most powerful unions in the country. They arguably have more money and influence than the teamsters union. They get annual raises, a couple months off each year and various other perks but, because they are government workers they get paid what the government says they get paid. Government jobs aren't that hard to do. While the current situation isn't the best for teachers since some children are complete hell spawn and they have to work long hours. One of the problems that is preventing teachers from receiving even higher pay and more benefits is their union is blocking all attempts to privatize schools or hold teacher accountable. In a nutshell the bad and lazy teachers are making things harder on the good and ambitious teachers.

A good reason why it'll happen is people don't want to vote for a candidate that promotes class envy and socialistic tendencies. That and the media basically treats him like a messiah and when the media and celebrities treat you as if you are Jesus Christ the average Joe can't relate to you and they don't vote for someone they can't relate.

When he's a dick to anyone else nobody really cares maybe they do what, De-rep him (oh noes)? Yet, when he's a dick to Hibs then people make motions for Hibia to be a mod? Give me a break ever since Al Gore created the interwebz and it was made available to the general public everyone has been monitored by their respective governments. This is nothing new.

Anyone notice how the last two panels fit well with "At first I was like: But then I lol'd"?
