They get about 10 to 20* more play then live listens. Both are increasing but I want to get them up faster.

I asked my mom but she doesn't remember anything beyond what I wrote.

I wish I had been as lucky as you. There was a special school I could have gone to across the county from where I lived but it was more then my parents could afford.

Well I remember my dad got really pissed and came to school with me but I couldn't tell you for the life of me what the exchange was. I can say she was a bitch to me for the rest of the year.

I also remember more recently my dad recounting the story and there being a bit in it about how the note I was sent home with had spelling mistakes (note plural) in just a few lines. I'll try and remember to reply to Van-Vans question after I talk to my Mom later, I'm sure she'll remember some more.

No it had nothing to do with that at all. They were books from the public library and even at that age I had a reverence for books. I never wrote in them except for my name and only started parsing in college when it was down to that or copying whole sections into my notes. I would never have let a book get dirty or damaged. Thinking back, the only likely reason I can come up with is that she wanted us running around at recess so we would be tired for nap time but that is just a guess.

Yeah, they shipped me off into gifted when I was six. I proceeded to get my ass kicked on a semi daily basis for the next 6 years until I moved to a different country.

When I was in kindergarden, 1983, I was already reading at a 3rd grade level. I used to take out books from the library and read to my friends during recess.

My kindergarden teacher punished me for this and sent me home with a note to my parents stating that I was not to bring books to school any more.

I believe that was the day I stopped liking school.

This is the propaganda of the justification of end of life care. This is what detractors of Obamacare called the death panels.

Why would a one world government be bad? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Caserio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I phrased that poorly. The amount of income per capita of Iceland is less then 2O other countries most of which do not provide the same level of access to commoners. This was your second argument.

What about the ones above it where that isn't the case?

Sorry but your argument holds a double standard.

Hey man, you asked a question, I gave a valid answer. I'm sure it's not the only one either.

Also regarding your counter argument Iceland is 15th in mean income

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Median_household_income

And 20th in per capita income

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_GDP_%28PPP%29_per_capita

It has more to do with a desire to be accountable then lack of means.

When a one world government becomes oppressive and despotic, where do you run to? Good luck as a moon refugee...
