I still am not totally against vouchers (I still have an open mind on them). But the reservations I have regarding vouchers you have described very well here. As with so many areas of public policy and community affairs, the profjected practical effects (as opposed to the very important but more...

1/2 the people I work around are former brokers. Many of them did make a good six figures at one time as brokers. But ALL of them now say the commission structure has changed so much for the worse that it is hard to make much at all. I was not a broker though, so I can't speak from personal...

Yes, parental involvement is the most important factor in a child's educational success. However, money thrown at a school system not only does not necessarily make for a good school system, it is not necessarily a prerequisite. In Japan, and many third world countries with better primary and...

I didn't use any big words. I analyzed your false criticisms. What shortcoming??

I never took a stand on whether daytraders are important to the system. And it was you who played the word games! All I did was analyze your misguided argument about the definition of a system and its reliance on every single one of what becomes its components.

I think the lack of vouchers would take many opportunities away from people who would like to send their kids to private school. Obviously, it is no coincidence that many religious groups support vouchers. Clearly, they see this as a way to encourage more families to send their children to...

It was correct given the ambiguous nature of the phrase "sexual relations."

The reason is that it is possible for some poor families to afford private schools (which are NOT normally $20G), especially since many private schools offer partial scholarships. Meanwhile, the public schools are in such disarray. I'm not actually a solid supporter of vouchers, but I am very...

That's called semantics.

While the NAACP may not support vouchers, many urban and African-American leaders and organizations have! Milwaukee, as a matter of fact, was one of the leaders in pushing for vouchers, and Representative Polly Williams, who criticized "flaky white liberals" for policies that have held back...

Damn. I posted my response as soon as I read the comment by Paterfamilias. Now I see you said something similar. However, his "technical" argument does not fit. And I actually don't agree with you on a logic "or school" debate not being relevant. Logic and definitions are always relevant. The...

A system is not necessarily by definition something that cannot function without all of its parts. This is sophistry. To suggest that a just become something becomes part of a system means the system cannot function without it means you could never streamline a bureacracy without destroying the...

I'd say hell is probably a lot more fun than heaven anyhow!

Darkhorse was saying that the law was a misinterpretation. According to him, it does NOT faccurately follow scripture. Whether that is true or not, i don't know. But no one has actually addressed his assertion.

Darkhorse addressed this before. According to him, this was an incorrect interpretation that was enforced as law for a long time.

That's the bottom line!

No, actually it doesn't (that's not to say that he's right, but he doesn't contradict himself).

I'm not even religious, but darkhorse already addressed this. According to him, this was a misinterpretation that was enforced as law for centuries.

If she was really good looking, of course, that is what fools a lot of guys as well. For that matter, some guys aren't even fooled, they just let the wrong head guide them even into something as serious as marriage and family.
