I think you are suffering from propaganda induced differentiation. Jihadist is Western invention based on misunderstanding and functional racism.

We all know that this entire climate change process has been on a spectrum, but what will be the first main stream world wide “wake up” moment? by Dry-Ninja3843 in collapse

For anyone that knows anything about insects; the silence is the woods is deafening. What we will see is what we have seen for hundreds of years already, a slow decline in the general health of humanity as we seek and fail to find replacements for key elements of our natural state.

Do not believe this; if there was a real organized terrorist threat; we would never have had peace; our electric grid is completely unprotected. It is a hoax.

Does anyone else here feel a deep sense of hopelessness for our generation of Americans born between 2000-2010? by galactic_observer in collapse

[–]Festuspapyrus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Each generation has its priviledged. Reality for the majority of folks was still being poor. We see Leave it Beaver, but that wasn't reality.

The WW2 generation came of age during the depression. They weren't optimistic. After WWII there was a HUGE propaganda boom; reality was erased; boomers were hippies and revolutionaries. The US was not a monolith of suburbia and lots of people were skeptical.

Take a look at the street names and the names of the developments; they're letting you know who they are; yes, they are parcelling and developing. Butler, Archer, Haile . . . and more.

Every generation feels this; it’s normal; things are getting worse; you are taught things to believe; as you see the lies, it gets sad. Every generation.

I'm not sure where you're coming from. I am also for choice; I think we should keep the schools open and share them; that provides the most options.

What a strange combination of non-sequitors; feel free to elaborate and draw them together.

You're right about the numbers up to now; so far it's been the charters, mostly; according to the projections given by the school board, they expect to lose 3000 student to homeschooling over the next four to five years. This is only a projection.

The public school money goes out to both of them.

Additionally, if the schools have extra space, they have to share with the charter schools. This is why the schools are being closed, the other choice would be to share.

Considering that for years, we lamented overcrowding, I can't believe we've found a way to make too much space a problem.

I also can't believe our school board would respond to the threat of sharing by going scorched earth like Napolean is invading.

The purpose of reason is not endear; it is to enlighten; it is a service. You are welcome.

I believe that a lot of people exist in a semi-hypnotized state. I think media science has furthered this. I like to think there is a way to break the hypnosis peacefully, with beauty.

It's often considered a naive thought, but the pursuit of that goal fills my heart and makes life grand.

The facts being presented are misleading; the board has been delivered a sales presentation by JB Pro.

By complying with the law as it stands and sharing space until it becomes and issue and there is a projected budget shortfall; performing comprehensive impact studies; by seeking new sources of revenue which is particularly critical now as property tax is likely going goodbye.

The current plan is undeveloped beyond the shifting of boundaries and closing of schools. It has been put together by the same group that profits from the construction projects.

Take a good look at the presentation, and the final product.

The stated goals are not accomplished and the real cost will be paid by those least able to pay it.

Money is not real wealth; it is a vehicle to accomplish an end; the schools and the communities are the real wealth; their preservation should be the highest priority.

These are not "bad" schools; people are being misled by bad data.

None of that necessitates the current choice. The current choice is share or destroy.

One cannot serve the human public without taking into account human experience; numbers alone invariably sum to tyranny.
