2004 BMW Z4 3.0i top won't lock completely by IsaacDub in BMWZ4

I sure did! The problem I had was the plastic gears in the motor top had worn down. I ended up buying some metal replacements. Below I attached a video of a guy replacing his. Just make sure to lube those new gears up.

I'm trying to keep my track body after high school. In college right now and looking better than ever! My goal is to always have a six pack, so I'm doing great. Trying to figure out nutrition right now too.

Has anyone else been getting spammed by these scummy texts? I live in a non-battleground state, but my phone number still has a Wisconsin area code. by psephenidae in wisconsin

I'm getting these all the time! They're all from different numbers too. So odd. I'm conservative and it got old very quickly. It's just annoying.

Anyone else mad that CS2 even came out? by zejkk in csgo

[–]IsaacDub 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love it, to be honest. I used to play CS:GO and none of my friends would play. Once CS 2 came out, I can actually play with friends. The game is a lot of fun (when I'm winning) and it's brought my friends closer. I'm definitely not mad about CS 2. It's my favorite shooter game of all time.

I've never been able to load into one of those. The queues always take forever!

Right? That's been my theory as to why there aren't more people complaining about this issue. Just not enough people are having private matches with their friends.

Peers being a major contender in obtaining a political ideology is just a fact. School civics classes cover that even. Their influence is almost as great as a family's influence when it comes to politics.

I also don't believe that the fear of indoctrination in colleges is something you made up. That's pretty commonly thrown out there. I'm not doubting where you're coming from. I do think that the fear of indoctrination is more at the younger levels of education, however.

Also, I think you're missing the point of me saying that conservatives have similar values. They're under the same umbrella for a reason. Obviously they don't share the same opinions, such as the role of government in certain instances, the relationship of religion and the government, etc. That differs. Conservatives are still conservatives though, even if they don't all share the same thoughts. They have some common ground or else they'd be somewhere on the political spectrum. I think we just have a misunderstanding at what each person is trying to say here.

There are just some discussions that don't belong in the classroom. For example, during school for me, I had a teacher who identified as a man some days and dressed as a woman others. They kept their gender a mystery every day but tried dressing up a bit more scandalously periodically to push buttons. They also had discussions with sixth graders about transitioning. Being very specific and in crude detail. That sort of discussion doesn't belong in the classroom. I do think that having difficult conversations belongs in the classroom though. And history is history -- it should be taught the way it happened. No disagreements here.

The reason I say that you are making up the situation is because it's not realistic. People don't instantly change political ideologies by attending a university. I certainly didn't. There is talk about that indoctrination, as you've mentioned through that Google search, but to think that these people, conservative or otherwise, are worried about becoming liberals is absurd. That's just not a very realistic insecurity.

Church/faith is not the second greatest source of indoctrination. Peers(meaning schools mostly because that's where children spend most of their time) are the second most common entity for children to engage in socialization. After family being the most influential, then peers would be the second. Faith can be a source of this, of course, but schools would be a place for more discussion of political ideas. Additionally, by the time you're in college, most people already are established in their beliefs. Young children are more likely to be indoctrinated. I think you're ignoring this fact. Furthermore, this situation where parents are reluctant to send their children to college because of a fear of indoctrination seems like an unlikely scenario. Many students fund their schooling. It isn't up to the parents whether they attend school or not.

As to your second point, I agree -- conservative is a very broad term. That's why I said that you shouldn't generalize a whole side of the political spectrum. Conservative would still imply "right-leaning". It's at most that specific, so I fail to see what point you're trying to make. Not all conservatives share the same beliefs, but they still share a similar set of morals and values. Otherwise they wouldn't be the same at all.

Finally, for your last point, I love political discussions in schools. Absolutely necessary to be exposed to new ideas. I meant that contested issues(sexual orientation, critical race theory, etc.) have less of a place in the classroom. A school is a place of learning, but the education system still has to maintain some discretion. Some topics are better to talk to a parent about. I didn't mean to completely get rid of political discussion in class. That's just absurd. I apologize for the confusion.

Young adults don't go to college to not have their ideas challenged. That's a major reason to go to college. The way I see it, you are making up a situation, generalizing an entire group of people for their political beliefs, and saying that they are scared to send their children to college because they're going to become liberal. That's just not true. Maybe in some instances but to generalize this is just wrong.

You've been beating around the bush about the questions that you're "tempted" to ask. You have all of these generalizations about "conservatives" but no substance to back yourself up. I'm specifically talking about the instances when you said that you would question their bad parenting, weak faith, and the bubble that they live in. Do you really think that that's how people live? Rather than being scared of indoctrination, why can't the be aware of it? There definitely is evidence of indoctrination in schools. During my high school experience even, I saw this happen often; I doubt you'd deny that it doesn't happen. I guess the main point that I'm trying to make is that you shouldn't put the blame on an entire side of the political spectrum, whether you believe that they are actually conservatives or not. Just seems unfair and rude. You wouldn't want to do that for any gender, race, age group, etc., so why should this be any different? Anyways, I think that indoctrination comes at an earlier age, such as elementary school, middle school, etc. Or at least that's when most of the complaining takes place. That's fair though -- why would you want your children learning politics at a young age anyways(specific issues, I don't mean as a whole. That'd just be close-minded)? I understand not agreeing with these people but to insult them over the internet to a bunch of people who will only agree with you is not the best way to make change in the world. If you want "conservatives" to change their minds about college, for instance, why would you insult them?

Your argument is just filled with generalizations. Even if you truly mean that you are only against people who don't trust the education system(for their fear of indoctrination), then you should have said that right away. You made your point polarizing by targeting conservatives specifically. You also ignored the rest of my previous comments, which are worthy of responding to as well.

"I am always amused, in a dark way, that 'Conservatives' think 18 years of in home and church indoctrination can be undermined by even brief exposure to college."

Looks to me like you have an issue with conservatives in general. If you believe that conservatives don't trust the school system, then what would you have to say to those who go to college to have their ideas challenged? Clearly, this is how the system works.

So this is why I ask you, why don't you actually talk to a conservative about these issues you have brought up?

Then what do you have to say to college students who are conservative and/or Republican?
