I don’t count homework for much because of widespread copying. I took it a step further: I post my answers online because I’d rather they copy it from a reputable source. The trick is that they have to have developed the skills to pass quizzes and tests.
No, Masterskrain. the Republicans believe you get what you earn. They are not the ones asking for handouts to sit on the couch, watch Oprah, and utilize their medical marijuana cards…
A funny/sad thing is, recent reports out of France is that the President there wants to ban homework because he feels it gives an unfair advantage to the rich…
Some Reps might believe that you get what you earn, but the sure go for corporate bailouts and allowing corporations to get out of promised pensions. Now, they want to take the promised retirement money from civil service employees(but usually only the lower paid of the group).We gave them a deal years ago, work for less than the prevailing wage in the private sector and they will get good pensions.It is all about taking away something someone else has or is promised sound familiar?
I wish every body had Susie s ethics,because I live on a island in the Pacific Ocean but would like to relocate farther south.On an Island .To do this I must sell a bridge ,at a discount,if you by right away.
Probably. The Democrats have shown that pandering to the lowest common denominator will keep you in power, and the Republicans don’t have the political courage to stand up to it.
The graciousness of God works like that – none of us "deserve’ anything except judgement….sure glad He does things that way – I’d have been toast years ago…
We can keep telling ourselves this is merely a comic strip but look how seriously we’re taking it. We take the time to type in our commentaries – does that say something about us?
Two of our worst presidents came from my home state of Texas – LBJ and George Bush. Both were criminal politicians who began wars which were condemned by the United Nations as illegal and immoral. Did either care?
As Homer Simpson best put it to Bart: “Listen up boy, you need to learn that if you want something in this world you have to work for it. Now quiet, they are about to announce the winning lottery numbers!”
i’m pretty sure calvin is just a little kid. but i can see it soon, “Vote Calvin for president!” As long as he ain’t like obama, i would love Calvin as a president.
