it’s an election with no Democrats, in one of the whitest states in the union, where rich candidates pay $35 for your votes. Or, as Republicans call it, their vision for the future.

I suredly hope you are not implying that the entirity of the Texas education system is poor, now are you? Yes, the public school system needs a lot of work, but this is the problem of having an independent school system instead of a public school system. Texas houses many fine private schools across the state.Originally Posted by vidcc
The majority of the folks I attended school with have gone to be highly successful intellectually.
I must give Comic_Peddler full marks for his replies in this thread.
To be honest, the thread was named as such to attract attention. (Like I'm the first )
And to be even more honest, the only two Texans I have ever had (business) dealings with were highly intelligent and very amicable folks, thus disproving the common perception/stigma.
Although, I still stand by my belief that bible thumpers need to keep their values within their own groups, or those willing to listen to them, as they are not a global concensus on human rights, as some are led to believe. However, as C_P accurately pointed out, those most outspoken Texans are not the most numerous.
Important Note: Disregard above political-esque statement; This is the lounge. How easily we forget...
Also, thanks for the nod JPaul, 'twas for your and my enjoyment (and that of a few other so-called 'elders')
Why did society even create cloths that are considered "boys clothes" and "girls clothes", why set yet another boundary? How can the things you wear to keep you warm and cover your body be considered "feminine" or "masculine"?
:confused:
That's the way the potato mashes.
That's the way the pan flashes.
That's the way the market crashes.
That's the way the whip lashes.
That's the way the teeth gnashes.
As a parent that turned into a typical "what do they think they look like" sort of thinker when looking at younger fashions ( trust me i never though it would happen to me...and it will happen to you)..... i have to ask....how the heck do some of these "outfits" keep anything warm ?Originally Posted by SpatulaGeekGirl
