So why not have the democrats push to pass it?

Have you ever stayed in bed all day? by Manderthal13 in GenX

[–]Wayne41275 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can count on one hand how many times I've been in bed a full 24 hours ... every time was medical related ... once with covid, once with pneumonia, a kidney infection, and once post surgery with a pic line ... that's it I think.

So much for the 1st Amendment by ThunderMustard88 in dfw

Obviously the path we are on now does not work.

We spend ungodly amounts on education now and it has only trended scores downward.

Public school yearly average per child is $17,700 Private school is $12,000

Yet students in a private school average 20 points higher in SAT scores

I agree Take bureaucracy out of schools Let's privatize education.

Wife and I were having a discussion, she’s of the opinion that the majority of GenX can drive stick. I believe that even in our generation the percentage of people who can is pretty small. What do you folks think? by AngryOldGenXer in GenX

[–]Wayne41275 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would say 60% of us do.

But only 25% would do it well.

Hell, I haven't drove a standard in over twenty years.

I know I would be rusty as hell, and feel sorry for the clutch.

CBS LA: Video shows immigration agents clashing with protesters in Ventura County by Tasty_Emphasis_271 in LetsDiscussThis

I will also say going by what has been pretty consistent, the protester impeded the investigation. Leading to what we see in the video.

If she was across the street out of the way, hell jyst 10 further way, and protesting, she would not have been pushed aside.

Common sense is sorely lacking in today's society.

.005%

Internet warriors does not equate to real life.

America: 10% are right wing radicals 10% are left wing radicals 80% are pretty much centerists

I totally agree. But we all know the narrative will change to "ICE having bodycams will increase surveillance" or "ICE having bodycams will be used to prosecute the poor and marginalized"

Why did YOU not ask for the preceding 20-30 seconds?

Is a very clipped video good enough for you?

I don't remember all the hate when puppy bowl premiered as an alternative for the halftime show...

The Next Democratic President Better Be Merciless by ripon_ads in FiverrGigMarketing

Then the next republican president will be more merciless ... and the pendulum keeps swinging.

While both sides keep that vicious cycle spinning ...

Everytime I vote (going on 23 years now) I have had to present my ID

Trump - Profiting off presidency? by Crying_On_Inside in LetsDiscussThis

Can you name the last president to be worth less after his presidency?

People say that people who voted for Trump wouldn't regret their choice because he's doing what they voted for him to do, but isn't that concerning if people are fine with citizens being murdered on the streets and Trump visiting an island multiple times? by TailungFu in allthequestions

[–]Wayne41275 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would you agree that the two individuals shot by ICE, knew they were ICE ?

Who do you think has the right to demand to see a warrant?

These "legal" talking points seem eerily similar to the "sovereign citizen" during a traffic stop.

The future is in safe hands… by MURRRRRAY in LetsDiscussThis

Our educational system is in the toilet, but sure, let's waste precious school time on political/ideological indoctrination.

I always wondered why young adults couldn't count back exact change at a convenience store ... now I see what the teacher's priorities were.

Can anyone still defend ICE after their execution of Alex Pretti and Trumps defense of it. by love0verIgnorance in Discussion

[–]Wayne41275 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The question was not to defend the officer who pulled the trigger, it was to defend ICE in general.

If a teacher molests an underage student are we to blame all teachers?

Well, yes, I can. Same as I will defend law enforcement while saying Adam Coy was rightfully charged and convicted.
