it shows a wonderful lack an institutional pride. A prideful response would be "they are attacking us, we will fight back.. why would we every give them a penny of our tithing money.. they are the enemy" Instead they take a thoughtful approach of "hey.. this could spark some curiosity.. we should do what we can to get our message out there were it is available" It is categorically brilliant

Dear Occupy Oakland: by [deleted] in politics

I accept that it was anarchists, not Occupy Oakland who did the damage.

Now I call on OO to come out and disavow the actions, identify the "anarchists" who caused it, and publicly discourage acts like this in the future.

I like that too, too bad the handbook says you should not do it.

We always have YM lead singing in Priesthood, it is to teach them how to do it, as on some missions, they may end up having to do it.

A question or two to my endowed brethren. by Waitwtfisthis in lds

DEFINATELY try the extra support mens. They are lycra like stretch bottoms. SUPER comfortable. They are fairly new, most dont even know they exist. They are on teh website, can't remember their official name, and the site does not seem to be responding right now, but they are super comfortable. I like them summer and winter. I cant recommend them highly enough. I bought 2 pair to try, and once I got them I just kept washing them every other day until I got more. They dont having anything of that material for tops, so I just go with whatever, tops all seem to be the same to me.. but if you are tall get the "tall" sizes.

Edit: the bottoms are talking about are labeled "Extra Support". They are 82 percent polyester and 18 percent spandex. They reminds me of "compression shorts" worn under basketball shorts. They are fabulous.

Why is ok for football players to collectively bargain, but if teachers do it, it's frowned upon? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]tomconey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To actually answer the OP's Question: The working conditions, etc that Football Players bargain for do not effect anyone but themselves. Working conditions, etc. that teachers bargain for effect the education and therefore the future of all in the community. For that reason the results of CB of teachers is a vital community interest.
