Democratic National Committee Secret Handbook. Right above the section that details the ebil GoP's plans for flipping over innocent peoples garbage cans on nights with a full moon.

I notice a preponderance of the word "stereotype" thrown around a lot in this thread and others. Sometimes it is not written directly but inferred. Broad statements are mainstay in some cases. There is a general theme and it usually involves Yubba.

It's my personal opinion that while we all paint with a wide brush from time to time, Yubba's brush is the widest, and most consistently used.

Consistency is admirable. His broad sweeps attract much attention. Generate much discussion.

Not necessarily. One can be consistently: off, wrong, or incorrect; depending on the context.

Only because they are so outlandish and defy belief.

Generate much discussion.

Should they? Im a bit torn on this. On one hand, he's our village idiot, and livens the place up. On the other hand, the attention his threads generate only encourages the posting of more

Right, wrong, consistency is still a admirable quality.

Ok, I am a current student, so I am biased.

I do volunteer teaching at the computer science club at school. And truthfully, I genuinely think I am better than a few of my teachers at this

There is no quality control in the education system. Especially in courses like computers or cooking and things like that.

I got 96 in a course where I learned nothing, and I didn't even think I did anything. I mean, I'm not complaining, but the school is not getting any sympathies from me.


Also, from a different angle, school was supposed to reduce juvenile delinquency, through getting us off the streets, and through keeping us occupied. However, discipline at school is getting horribly out of control.

Last year, a kid got stabbed at my school. This other guy pulled a toy gun on a freshman, and almost scared him to death. People smoke under the no smoking sign, and the dress code might as well not exist (guys, I don't want to see your pink underwear). If the cops come to out school and do a drug bust, they might end up arresting a quarter of all the students.

So yeah, the education system is not getting any sympathies from me
