Re: Saying "Illegal Alien" in the classroom may get you suspended

The federal system considered people 3/5ths of a person too. And by your standard since it isn’t in the code anymore that means it’s NOT OK. Actually, I was wrong. It is only the Library of Congress that has stopped using the term. Interesting nobody corrected me on that point. You, instead, ran wi...

Does anyone think it's ok to call a human being an illegal alien?
Also, you call human beings "pieces of shit" on a regular basis. What's your problem exactly?

Re: Saying "Illegal Alien" in the classroom may get you suspended

Who provoked this situation? Stick to whatever it is you do, it's clear you don't understand how things work in a school full of teenagers. The kid who tried to pick a fight. Period. Do you think it is ok to pick a fight with someone because you got offended? Sounds to me like you're excusing inexc...

Yes. It was the language used in the federal code until quite recently.

Re: Saying "Illegal Alien" in the classroom may get you suspended

Homeschool kids can say all the slurs their parents taught them. Seems like a great way to perpetuate generational bigotry. Speaking of bigotry, thanks for once again placing your anti-homeschooling (specifically, white Christian homeschool parents) on display. Your bigotry appears to be the basis ...

Yes please, let's defend the offender and punish the entire offended family. Great plan. That'll show 'em.
Yes, please. Let's defend the kid who tried to start a fight and punish the kid who asked the teacher a question. That'll teach them both.

Saying "Illegal Alien" in the classroom may get you suspended

Homeschooling and private schools are looking better and better with each passing day. A North Carolina high school student was suspended after using the term "illegal alien" while in a class discussion. The 16-year-old student was suspended by Central Davidson High School in Lexington, North Caroli...

Re: Red Wings collapsing?

Let me also say though as a Wings fan that if they win one game during their 7 game losing streak, they would be in. They screwed themselves. I don't necessarily agree with that assessment because if they had more wins going into the home stretch, maybe they don't play with quite the same urgency d...

The comparison? The top people at NBC hired someone. The top people at NPR, according to Uri anyways, don't hire a specific group of people (allegedly, Republicans) Employees at NBC publicly criticized the top people at NBC for hiring a certain person.

Re: Red Wings collapsing?

You couldn't script this stuff. If Detroit's game had simply started a half hour earlier, the Flyers probably don't pull their goalie as they would have been eliminated already by that point in time. And Detroit scoring after a faceoff with 4.7 seconds left to send it to OT. Tough night for the Wings.

Re: Red Wings collapsing?

That's one way in. I think they're also if they lose in OT, Washington loses in regulation and Pittsburgh loses (either in regulation or OT). As an aside, I'm not a fan of the 1 point for OT loss rule. Either go back to 2 pts for a win and 1 pt for a tie (get rid of the shootout) or if they keep the...
