Thats what I'm saying too. Why are we negging on teachers pay and complaining about one day of protest (which doesn't result in any extra pay and cuts into summer time off) when money is literally being shit in every direction on so many other disasters that no one seems to give a shit about? Well actually people do give a shit about them, but the OP of this thread doesn't apparently. like this kind of shit: http://www.theguardian.com/world/2007/feb/08/usa.iraq1 I know we all have our own pet outrage, depending on our political bent. But honestly I don't see how teachers striking for one day really fits into how shits fucked. How does that become the focus of conversation other than as a distraction from more important things.

Sorry man, don't mean to neg. But I suppose it happens all around. Just feel like Ivan wasn't being negative at all and you have to bring that? Why do you have to do that?

what makes this come off like something out of Idiocracy? Like out the toilet?

not as close, but not the only ones http://www.oregonlive.com/mount-st-helens/ love this picture though:

you don't get the point...the point is to pound the square peg through the round hole. if it doesn't fit, then its Unamerican.

post up some pics of your jack boots, you union thug

here you go!

he's not the hero we need, he's the hero we deserve.

ya teacher union thug! messing with those poor, poor politicians and putting pressure on them to fund you! might as well be putting them in concrete shoes.

Yeah. Seriously. I hear the prison industry is hiring! If you care so much, you're clearly not suited for the job.

Based on this sentence structure, grammar, and punctuation, I take it you went to public school.

why don't the teachers just do that stuff in their free time?

Is Jim a lawyer? An accountant? Why do you respect his answer on this matter enough to ask it?

You're sort of missing the point here. It is simple return on investment. Prisons are more profitable, but market is keeping kids out of prison. the graph shows that it is cheaper to keep the kids in school...if we make more expensive to keep them in school than in prison, then the invisible hand of the market will push them all in to prison. So the graph clearly shows that the status quo is perfect. use your head.

It always makes good business sense to break the law, if it is cheaper than abiding it after factoring in legal costs and penalties. Ask any corporation. Your kids can learn a lot from their savvy example.

wow

should really break down the cartoon: 1. the students have no choices or free will in order to get off the conveyor. they are all good socialists, why would they? 2. The large dude puking out the students on the left is you, Peter. 3. The large dude on the right is me dumping my 401K into the prison system.

it's a vast conspiracy, can't you see?

Its very interesting! I'm trying to make you rich.

Prisons are a very profitable and growing private industry! Seems like a great investment.

Not really.

Don't you find it more interesting to compare the cost of incarcerating an inmate vs educating a child in this state?

That really chaps your hide, doesn't it?
