Why do these companies need a contract?

It’s also like when you ignore that video game makers research and develop how to make their game as addictive as possible and ignore an entire thread talking about it. Oh wait…

Exactly what part was “misinformation”? Are you trying to say that the celebration wasn’t peaceful?

She was amazing in the real sense of that word.

But without that, the majority would be tyrants!

So, legitimate question. Do you think that children learn nothing of any importance whatsoever in any public grade school? It’s absolutely ridiculous to think that public schooling is first and foremost babysitting because we don’t have child labor laws. What in the world would adults be doing at 18 if there wasn’t any schooling kindergarten through 12th grade? How, pray tell, would they be ready for a vocational school or college or any secondary school really without k-12? Would their parents be required to stay home and teach them?

Sure, schooling doesn’t seem to teach people much to get them ready for the world anymore, but I hardly think that’s because school is primarily babysitting. You obviously have an incredibly low opinion of teachers if you really think that’s why they exist. The lack of relevance of grade school seems to be more because of the hype over college and the tendency of companies to require more and more education for a job. Lack vocational classes in high school plays into that, too, but cutting them likely had to do more with teaching to a test and getting rid of things that “didn’t matter”.

Despite that you may think people would figure out how to write, read, do basic math, understand science theory, learn geography, learn civics, analyze fiction and nonfiction works, learn higher levels of math and science, learn subsequent languages, oh and socialize because that really is a very important part of schooling, without school at all, people wouldn’t… There’s a ton of basic knowledge you need to survive in this world. Maybe you think people will just absorb it through osmosis, but that’s not really how that works.

Teachers are important. Period. Their job is made difficult by those who think they have the right to micromanage the curriculum. Their job is made difficult by being paid or fired for students who pass or fail a test. Teachers, on the whole, are excellent, wonderful people. They don’t need this belittling nonsense.

Where are the reports and studies of vast amounts of sexual predators in schools? Do you have sources with an equivalent number of sexual predators reported in schools as that of the scouts? If they are comparable, what’s the numbers?

Or hear me out. Maybe we don’t give money to tyrants who kill their people who criticizing the government. It’s a crazy, novel idea, I know, but it’s possible.

Pigs act a lot like dogs too. My mom has one who rolls into his back to get belly scratches and lolls his tongue out of his mouth.

Public indecency laws are more of a hygiene issue. Making religious clothes or jewelry illegal to wear at school sits very weird with me.

You’re absolutely right. It’s crazy. But I believe for treason and sedition you have to prove intent. That’s a bit harder. As much as we want to have the hard and fast trial, it has to be done more carefully to make sure it’ll stick.

So what you’re really saying is, you don’t know. You’re assuming.

“The Indian government reports that an average of 34 people were killed annually by tigers in that nation between 2015 and 2018, while the United States has seen only nine fatal cougar attacks since 1980.”

It actually looks like not all that many. Sure, there would be more deaths if there were more tigers, but we could also stop encroaching on their territory and have national parks around the world to protect their habitats. Predators are important to the food chain even if they’re animals that could also attack humans.

What does this have to do with big cats?

You’re not wrong there, but just to provide a more accurate number for what’s currently happening, inflation of the cost of groceries was 11% from 2021 to 2022. It is expected to continue to be high throughout this year with an estimate between 5-10%.
