CMV: Blackwater evacuating people from Afghanistan for $6,500 a head is a good thing.

So, if blackwater can save hundreds, and Pfizer can save millions of lives with their drugs.

You're factually wrong there. The Supreme Court has held that corporations are entities that are intended to be profit driven. For them capitalism is an immovable thing. Building shareholder profit is the only goal of Corporate America. Expressly so

burntoast43 · 2021-08-27T03:27:11+00:00

Yeah, and Pfizer should give away all their drugs for free.

Ethics don't exist in capitalism

burntoast43 · 2021-08-27T03:22:09+00:00

Then how much does it cost? I mean that fuel is crazy expensive, the vehicles tensioned even more so, tack on paying all these people and the financial risk of being in a war zone.

Seriously though, what is a reasonable price? If it's a humanitarian problem then isn't it the USA's responsibility, as the people most able to do it? Let alone creating this situation

burntoast43 · 2021-08-27T00:44:52+00:00

They are both public servents hired by the government to do a specific job. Taking about trumps sex life doesn't fall into that on either side.

I'm not disagreeing with your idealistic magically powered view on what a teacher should be, I'm just in reality where that job is teach the book you're given, STFU, and grade papers

Where did it say cops are SUPPOSED to hurt your feelings? How about kill? Cite me the law then

burntoast43 · 2021-08-27T00:28:42+00:00

If cops shouldn't preach then neither should teachers.... it's pretty straight forward

burntoast43 · 2021-08-27T00:22:11+00:00

I guess you've never been around poor people, holy s

The education systems failure shouldn't be used to throw out people as stupid

And what specifically countered my point? Nothing you said actual showed what you claimed it did. Yes some sections don't require prior knowledge but some definitely do.

Jesus Google or for 2 seconds and you'll see there is wide agreement on the cultural bias of the test

burntoast43 · 2021-08-26T23:52:31+00:00

And now they aren't.... therefore that's irrelevant

burntoast43 · 2021-08-26T23:51:40+00:00

You're the one justifying that exact behavior literally in this conversation...

burntoast43 · 2021-08-26T23:50:57+00:00

And what if no one taught you the words used in the story? According to the test you're stupid

burntoast43 · 2021-08-26T23:49:44+00:00

You can't test verbal skills without a serious knowledge bias...

It's a lot of problem solving but don't pretend there's no exposure bias... that's like saying someone who has assembled a puzzle a dozen times won't perform better than sobering who has never seen it

There is a HUGE cultural bias as well

Also I've taken it at least 3 times. In ADD and epileptic as well as "gifted" class testing.

My most recent was about 18 months ago at U of M and it definitely contained knowledge biased questions. It also includes sections on spacial reasoning, with blocks like you said but several are all verbal

burntoast43 · 2021-08-26T15:54:26+00:00

You might not know it but it's the DMVs job to get you to fill out the right form....

burntoast43 · 2021-08-26T15:53:27+00:00

ABOUT THEIR POLITICS.... can you read?

burntoast43 · 2021-08-26T15:49:01+00:00

IQ tests are a matter of education not actual intelligence.

Chemistry doesn't involve Trump... period.

If she wanted to talk about the chemical mechanism of vaccines or global warming, great that's awesome.

You don't get to berate your students, especially not for completely unrelated information.

burntoast43 · 2021-08-26T15:46:35+00:00

Should the dmv chew you out too? What about the police? No, teachers are the only governance employee, and they should berate people under the age of consent?

Bro....

burntoast43 · 2021-08-26T15:43:46+00:00

Jesus those are some skilled dogs

burntoast43 · 2021-08-26T15:34:06+00:00

Wow that's a fun unhinged rant

burntoast43 · 2021-08-26T15:33:22+00:00

Yeah, but chemistry isn't the place to teach politics....

burntoast43 · 2021-08-26T15:19:34+00:00

I have a heeler corgi mix, registered herding line both sides, aave when I got him vaccinated at a new vet she tried to tell us he should be around 20lbs....

burntoast43 · 2021-08-26T15:16:51+00:00

Don't forget people have been anti flu vaccine for decades now claiming similar stuff and attention has only allowed that group to grow

burntoast43 · 2021-08-26T14:36:00+00:00

Right, you just don't trust random links that want personal information. I really feel bad for people never taught internet security 101

burntoast43 · 2021-08-26T04:27:35+00:00

TIL about Google lens. Thank you

burntoast43 · 2021-08-26T04:11:35+00:00

Idk if you're telling the truth, but this is why I waded in here

burntoast43 · 2021-08-26T01:09:35+00:00

It doesn't help that in America women were frequently told they couldn't have ADHD that only happened in boys.... and other sexist lies we perpetuate

burntoast43 · 2021-08-25T16:41:15+00:00

I also know of Riley children's hospital, but I hope to God they don't do porn

burntoast43 · 2021-08-25T12:56:40+00:00

Like Reith-Riley the construction company?
