Like that Washington Generals personification Colmes. I love how Fox viewers think they are seeing arguments fairly put forward. I suppose they wouldn't know any better if they were though. :rolleyes:
 
Re: Nice Planet 13: This Planet Sucks

Private Prisons were such a good idea.

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/05/25/us/texas-jail-death-video.html?smid=fb-nytimes&smtyp=cur
When Michael Sabbie was booked into jail by the Arkansas police on a misdemeanor assault charge in July 2015, he warned nurses there about his ailments — heart disease, high blood pressure and asthma — and told them he needed medication.

Less than three days later, Mr. Sabbie was dead on the floor of his cell. Videos captured his rapidly deteriorating health in the hours before his death as he pleaded with corrections officers for help. At least 19 times he could be heard saying, “I can’t breathe” — at one point as he crawled, gasping for air, while guards watched him through his cell door.

A jail employee with a hand-held camera recorded the ensuing struggle between Mr. Sabbie and five guards who were trying to pull his hands behind his back. “I can’t breathe; I can’t breathe,” he said before another guard used pepper spray on him.

The video shows Mr. Sabbie breathing heavily over the next nine minutes as corrections officers drag him to the nurse’s station and then into a shower. After he collapses in the shower, guards pick him up and pull him into his cell as his orange pants fall below his waist. Mr. Sabbie can be seen rolling on the floor and wiping his face with his shirt before the recording stops.

He was found dead the next morning, sprawled on the floor of his cell.

The threat of a corporate police state run for profit is far greater than a government police state run for political control.

Student given "Most Likely to Be A Terrorist" mock award. Other "awards" were "most likely to be homeless," "most likely to cry at every little thing," and these awards go on. Teachers thought they were being funny. Students found it anything but.

If that had happened when I was in school, my parents would have yanked me out of there in a heartbeat.

This sounds like a familiar excuse:

“[The teacher] said that some people might get offended, but she doesn’t really care about our feelings,” Villanueva told KHOU. “She was laughing about it.”

They're such brave truth tellers, dontchaknow. It's all the rest of us who have the problem.
 
Re: Nice Planet 13: This Planet Sucks

It appears the awards were teacher-based.

IF the students themselves came up with this, I think the attitude would be different. That being said, yes, I'm bothered by the "awards."

Wait...they finally discovered fire?

The teachers should all be canned.

Oh, they know about fire. They just don't know that certain objects shouldn't be burned.

Also, they haven't evolved because they are still in awe of the hypnotic powers of fire.
