I was wrong. It's ok to admit you were wrong once in awhile. You're missing the point. Did you believe these things when you voted for him? If so, then you come across as someone who "saw the light" and then act like a dick towards others who don't also "see the light" but are otherwise the same wa...

I don't support rapists. Trump has several credible rape claims against him and appears to be a serial cheater.

Remind me again who you voted for in the 2020 Presidential election?

Do typical Christians generally support rapists and people who cheat on wives?

Do you?

I don't know anybody who "hates" transgender people or fears them (ie, transphobia). Many Christians do, however, hold a traditional view that you are what you are born (a man or a woman) and that you should remain that way for your whole life. This has been the accepted view throughout the vast maj...

I suppose only someone who has bigoted views towards Christians, such as yourself, would feel that way.

Bottom line is, Hamas was responsible for the war starting, and they are currently responsible for the war continuing. As an aside, why does anybody here care how that war plays out? Whatever happened to the "not our problem, we're not the world's police" attitude that so many had before? In other n...

A piece in the American Conservative proposes that because Trump being re-elected this year would be non-consecutive terms the 22nd amendment wouldn’t apply to him and he should be free to run again in 2028 if Republicans nominate him again... That's not how I read it. They didn't argue that it wou...

...and children age 14 and 15 require parental permission. I despise smart phones and what they're doing to society - particularly to our children. But I blame the technology itself more than I do social media. The meat of the bill that defines social media reads as follows: "Social media platform" ...

My personal experience having worked for a smaller public school and working directly with the school board on tech-related stuff - a school board is where people in the community who have a personal agenda go. Ours was a joke. All 7 members each had their own agenda and they almost never worked wel...

And I bet they improve again.

At the rate they're improving, it'll be at least 10 years before those scores get back to pre-Covid levels, if ever. That's an entire K-12 generation of students.

M-Step scores are BARELY up this past year. I picked a random grade (6th) and proficiency rates are at 29% in math and 38% in English. Let me repeat those numbers. TWENTY NINE PERCENT of sixth graders who attend a public school are proficient at math and THIRTY EIGHT PERCENT are proficient at Englis...

and all on the road at that. Might have to actually pay attention to this team this year.

Good for you. My dad still has long COVID with heart issues.

Out of curiosity, was he vaccinated?

Didn't your parents have a very hard time with COVID? My mom did. My dad's case was mild. Though as rough of a time as my mom had with it, about 2 months after she first contracted it, she had recovered 100% with no lingering symptoms whatsoever. But that has nothing to do with the shutting down of...

I'm just giving you my personal opinion - you don't have to be an apprehensive ass about it. I acknowledged in my post above that attitudes are changing - I said that I personally find that concerning, and to clarify, the reason I find it concerning is because I view an increased demand for being hi...
