Pretty funny stuff, there. Well, the context for facts matters; after all, ice cream sales and murders go up in the summer, but that doesn’t really mean that ice cream causes murder. And context doesn’t mean the narrative that’s built around it. Think “2000 Mules” (so debunked that they withdrew it) Wendy P.

Interestingly the Azerbaijani school system is currently secular with religious interests working for change, like here. Now that our IRS has allowed pastors to preach politics from the pulpit we're one foot further out the door and down the rungs. That's what I oppose. I am all for secular support services as described, and with my tax money, as long as religion is no where in sight.

My high school was so outdated that we used the same car for Drivers Ed and Sex Ed!

It is something that has been overlooked... Either.. Cooper knew it was a bailout rig and went with it anyway.. Or.. He didn't realize it was a bailout rig.. These tell us something about him,, the question I still haven't got a solid answer for is.... would a jumper use a bailout rig vs main/reserve in those conditions. Jumpers have said it was an easy jump... would they do it in a bailout rig.. no front reserve, hard open, hard landing, no steer, higher chance of injury and a huge landing zone.. 113 sq miles..

That's called the Public School System.

Two blond guys ring the bell of a brothel. The Madam opens the door. -- What do you want? -- What can we get for five dollars? -- For five dollars you can jerk each other off in those bushes over there. She shuts the door. A 15 minutes later the bell rang again. The Madam opens the door. It's the same two blond guys: -- Who do we pay?

When someone making a technical presentation states "we believe that...," I typically point out that beliefs are factually irrelevant and am only interested in the data that support or refute them. The current fad of "identification" is right out of South Park, and is subject to Poe's Law. I suppose I could identify as a lesbian trapped in a man's body, but my lesbian pals don't seem to care that I'm a breeder. Actually, one pointed out that she found being called "sir" annoying, but not that big of a deal. Anyhow, beliefs are fundamentally delusional. If they happen to coincide with reality, it is largely happenstance.
