Closing the schools is folly unless you keep people at home.

There’s an actual statute that says immigrants can not be prosecuted for putting certain false information on immigration forms. The question was does that same immunity from prosecution extend to the same false information repeated on non immigration forms. It is actually, from a purely legal standpoint, a legit issue. The real question is why is there a statute that allows immigrants to lie on immigration forms?

I’m confused. The founding fathers were evil because they owned slaves, right? So, their statues must be torn down and their names removed from buildings. The confederate flag must be illegal because it stood for slavery and racism, right? I mean, the whole premise of the confederacy was racist and evil.
There is no rehabilitation for any person or institution that supported racism and slavery. They ALL must be erased!
Can someone look up the identity of the political party that supported these wicked and evil ideals. You know, the political party of the confederacy. There must have been one, right? ... was it the whigs?

Many cite Eli's .500 record as a reason that he should not be in the HOF. First, I find this odd since one normally looks for accomplishments that justify INCLUDING a player in the HOF, not for justification to EXCLUDE them. In any event, food for thought for those that cite Eli's .500 record as a reason to NOT put him in the HOF. How many HOF quality players did he have on his team during his career? Eli had Strahan for the first 3 full years as a starter -- The result 34-20 record; 3 playoff births, 1 Division title, 1 SB title. Who did Eli have on his team, O or D, to help him win games after Strahan left? When considering this, think about how many HOF players other HOF QB's had on their team to help make them winners. Here's a list of HOF QB's who played in the 1970's and later to help. Troy Aikman 1989-2000 Terry Bradshaw 1970-1983 Len Dawson 1957-1975 John Elway 1983-1998 Brett Favre 1991-2010 Dan Fouts 1973-1987 Bob Griese 1967-1980 Sonny Jurgensen 1957-1974 Jim Kelly 1986-1996 Dan Marino 1983-1999 Joe Montana 1979-1994 Warren Moon 1984-2000 Joe Namath 1965-1977 Ken Stabler 1970-1984 Bart Starr 1956-1971 Roger Staubach 1969-1979 Fran Tarkenton 1961-1978 Johnny Unitas 1956-1973 Kurt Warner 1998-2009 Steve Young 1985-1999 I think the main knock (for some folks) is that each year he was playing he wasn't often considered (by some) to even be in the top 5 QBs in the league. Obviously the SB wins cancel that all out to some. I’d have to go back to research it, but i don’t think Greise and Stabler were considered top 5 QBs during most of the time they played.

She says that that the families living in poverty are doing the best that they know how. Here is the cold truth. Maybe for some they are doing there best, but the vast majority are the victims of their own poor decisions. I am married to a wonderful giving woman who was raised in poverty by a single alcoholic bipolar schizophrenic mother. When I met her she was still living with her mother and attending college. Because of where she came from, she takes it upon herself "try" to help anyone, and I mean anyone, she encounters that is disadvantaged. She helps them get jobs, show them how to open and use a bank account. She shows them how to find and enroll in free job training programs or even apply for and attend college. We've even had people live with us for a short period while they get on their feet. My wife is my hero. But, the reality that she accepts and which frustrates me to no end, is that maybe 20% of the people she helps takes full advantage of her help and gets their life on the right track. The other 80% continue to make the same stupid choices. And I'm not talking about drugs. I'm talking about stuff like failing to show up for scheduled job interviews because something came up. Or, not going to work because they are not in the mood to do so and then not calling in sick, which is a quick way to lose your job. Spending your paycheck on stupid crap and fast food before your necessary bills are paid. You name the stupid choice and they are sure to make it. These are not bad people, but they don't get it. They never seem to sacrifice anything in the moment to make a longer term gain. It absolutely kills me when, more often than not, my wife puts so much time an effort into someone and they end up right back where they were when she decided to help. She accepts it and does it for the 20% that she does end up helping long term. I question if the effort is worth it. We've worked very hard in our lives to get to a place where we can actually help other people and I really resent the 80%. Yeah, yeah yeah, I know, I need to get over my white privilege yada yada yada... But, I think I'm entitled to the resentment because the 80% are wasting the time of a good woman. The cold hard reality is that the woman complaining to congress about the $40k for furniture each year is correct that it is a waste of money, but simply diverting that money to people who make less than ?$ would also be a waste of money. I'm all for giving people money to help lift them out of poverty, but unless you're disabled in some way, I don't think you should need the assistance for more than a few years. I used to try to help people all of the time just to watch them not do any of the things that I suggest and just try to skate by and then be jealous of my success. Now I give people one chance. If you take it then I may help again otherwise I write off my time and try to remember the next time that person asks for help. As for the woman and the $40k in furniture there are way too many questions left to be answered. Woman: What was her degree in, has she looked for a different job, has she tried to get promoted, what were her reviews like, how many unecessary revolving bills does she have, how often does she blow money on unnecessary frivolities, ...? Furniture: How big was the office, how often are they redecorating, was it a single office or a reception area and office suite or suite of offices? Decent (non-ikea) office furniture is expensive, etc... My big take away is that it just reinforces my opinion that the government has a spending problem not a revenue problem. You mention the either or of buying the furniture vs diverting it to the poor. I ask why they stole the money from the tax payers in the first place. There should be cuts across the board in government. Start at a mandatory 10% and see what happens. Businesses do it all the time. The difference is businesses earn money, governments take money. Totally agree. I'm for a balanced budget amendment. If it's not wartime, there is zero reason to spend more than they take in. They should have to cut 5 to 10% per year until they get a balanced budget. And the $40k for office furniture for each congressman is per year! That's nuts!

How is Eli NOT a HOFer? Two SB MVP's in games where his team was a heavy underdog; and just shy of 60,000 yards (including playoffs) in 246 starts (222 in a row) with almost 400 TDs.
Did he miss even one game due to injury?
I fail to see why it is even a question as to whether he gets in.

Yeah but how does that make it ok for the 40k in office furniture Listen, everyone who has ever worked for the Federal Government knows that you spend money so you can justify asking for more in next year's budget. It is a spend it or lose it mentality.

I would definitely take the hotness factor into consideration during sentencing. Have you seen some of these wildebeests? Some of these poor boys, whose only prior sexual experience likely included internet porn and a sock, will now require years psychological help because some horny troll stole their innocence. Most guys look back fondly at the first time they had sex. But some of these boys will be relentlessly ridiculed by peers and wake up drenched in sweat after having yet another bout of night terrors because they know that for the rest of their lives, they will be associated with banging a chick that even Southside might reject at closing time after a hard night of self-loathing, pity drinking. On the other hand, you have the hot teacher. Every boys fantasy. Which one of us has not imagined bending the hot Spanish teacher over her desk and banging her from behind while she she talks dirty to you in a language you can't understand because you only took the class because the guidance councilor told you you needed a language for college and because when the Spanish teacher rolled her "r"s, your taco was no longer soft? The young man who banged that teacher never needs therapy. He walks the halls of school with his head up. He looks back on the encounter with pride. Yes, the hot teacher did something quite wrong in the eyes of the law but oh so right for the young man who nailed her and taught all of the other boys that yes... dreams really do come true! So I am to judge them both the same? I think not. Let the the punishment fit the crime. Let the the ugly teacher suffer for what she has done. But give the hot teacher a slap on the wrist because you know the when you were 15, you just wanted to smack her on the ass even as that hot bitch told you that you had no chance of passing her class. Just remember... Some of the greatest lessons in life are learned the hard way. Viva la profesora caliente! What if the kid was a homely nose picking outcast who found common ground with his wildebeest sexual predator professional educator?

From a cultural societal standpoint, the teachers that bone kids who are 15 and younger are sicko's, but should we consider that the one's who provide a sexual outlet, so to speak, for the 16 and older crowd are in reality providing a valuable service both in the vain of sexual education and allowing teenage girls to escape the indignity of being preyed upon by overly testosteroned sex crazed degenerate teenage boys? And, that while this conduct is now without question shameful and unacceptable in our modern society, it is kind of cooked into the species in a genetic and cultural anthropological sense?

I am also in academia. In my experience the true radicals come from the failing liberal arts and education. They indoctrinate their students with this nonsense such as gender studies. Can you imagine? Gender studies? Can you think of anything more useless? The rest of the student body are just trying to get an education and get a job. As usual it’s this noisy minority that gets the attention and paints all of academia in a bad light. Well I come from the failing liberal arts side lol. I don’t disagree, though I think there is still a place for what we bring to the table and am still a believer in a well rounded education. Generally anything with a “studies” in the title is a joke. I love the discussion of ideas and was lucky to have a few professors who reveled in their chosen role of inspiring students to think for themselves. I pretty much ignored the one's that wanted to indoctrinate you and paid attention only enough to spit back at them the crap they wanted to hear to give you a good grade. When did education transform from teaching you "how" to think into teaching you "what" to think?
