  1. Unless you know what the actual syllabus is I guess you'll just go on generalizing. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

  4. Pretty simple...are they blocking all AP History courses or just the one? I'm thinking it's just one of many. But don't let the facts get in the way of a good conservative bashfest. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne
  5. This article is so bent it needs a body shop. Sounds like it's one AP history course. From the link...(bolding is mine) Say hello to the state Legislature of Oklahoma, where the House education committee voted Monday to bar advanced placement U.S. history courses from state high schools. later in the article... Education mavens will recognize the vote as an outgrowth of a campaign against the AP U.S. history course launched last summer by the Republican National Committee, which decided that the College Board's newly-issued outline, or "framework," for the AP course was infused with a radical progressive bias and insufficiently laudatory about American "exceptionalism." So it would appear that there is one course written by some flaming liberal that they've chosen to ignore. WTG John... Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

  8. I always get a good chuckle when someone says that the Iraqi's were better off under Saddam. Iraq was more stable and easier to deal with but the people... http://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2013/06/10-years-after-the-fall-of-saddam-how-do-iraqis-look-back-on-the-war/277362/ If you would like to place blaim how about the UN Security council that stopped Schwarzkopf from finishing the job in '91.

    Agreed...but when the best terrain is a 3 hour drive it used to be OK just to fart around on. Maybe they were afraid their iPhones would freeze. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

    TWA 800

    Read the comments? I like these ones. 1. BLAST HOLES Your claim of no high-velocity blast holes being found in the wreckage is incomplete reporting, as not all of the wreckage was tested by the NTSB. Much was confiscated by the FBI and never returned. This negates the need for a massive cover-up and reduces it solely to an FBI cover-up, which is exponentially more likely. 2. RADAR Missiles have a similar radar profile as military aircraft equipped with stealth technology: they're practically invisible. So, an absence of radar evidence of the missile(s) is irrelevant to an educated argument. Besides, the damning radar evidence showed debris leaving the aircraft at speeds of no less than Mach 4 (2,880 mph), a direct contradiction of NTSB assertions of a low-velocity explosion originating from within the fuel tank. 3. FUEL TANKS I'm puzzled by this third point, as it only reinforces the ambiguity of the NTSB's findings ("...investigators were never sure what sparked the explosion in the first place"), and does absolutely nothing to refute ample amounts of credible evidence pointing to exactly what sparked the explosion.

    TWA 800

    Not exactly "just write it off." More of a "look at the issue, weigh the evidence, look at what the promoters of each side have at stake, look at what the promoters of each side say about other things, and make a rational decision based on the whole picture." Take TWA 800 (you know, the original theme of this thread). There were a number of eyewitnesses that swore they saw an upward trail before the explosion. Makes the "shot down" theory sound more plausible. But it doesn't hold up. The wreckage didn't show any indications of impact, or any indication of explosives (other than the leftover traces from the dog exercise), the radars didn't show any indication of other things in the air or behavior of the plane consistent with a shoot down. Then study eyewitness testimony. It's accuracy (not very good), how easy it is to get someone to "remember" the wrong thing simply through the power of suggestion, the general overall problems with it. A careful and thorough examination of the facts show that there was a fuel tank explosion. So it's a lot more than "just writing it off." But some people either can't or won't do that. So they continue to believe that the US never landed on the moon, or that the contrails up in the sky are laced with dangerous chemicals or that alien lizards are really running the government. Or that CReWdogs in Florida are UFOs. You don't think it's a bit odd that the 747 had been in use for almost 30 years and this one model has an explosion of the center fuel tank? And the entire 747 fleet wasn't grounded following such a discovery? From Wiki; I'm not convinced one way or the other but there are a lot of very intelligent folks close to the investigation that think something was odd about the way it was handled. And it doesn't take a whole group of people to change the outcome of an investigation; the right person with the right access can do a bunch of damage. Back in the day I was sure it was not a terrorist act or goof by the Navy. These days I'm thinking the possibility exists. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

    Boston Mills, Akron Zoo, Lock 3 all closed on Sunday http://www.wkyc.com/story/news/local/summit-county/2015/02/14/akron-zoo-to-close-on-sunday/23421961/ I get that the Zoo is closed and there would be no live performance worth watching outdoors at Lock 3...but Boston Mills ski resort?

    TWA 800

    With nothing much better to do on a cold and blustery Ohio saturday I watch this documentary http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3040528/ I've never considered myself much of a conspiracy theorist and I laughed at how ridiculous Rhys looked in his 9/11 rants, but this one got me thinking. Next year will be the 20th anniversary. I don't think in 1996 we gave terrorists much credit for being resourceful. Clinton already had egg on his face from the '93 WTC bombing. I don't have much trouble imagining a political machine put into motion to cover this up. Still, I'm not convinced and I realize I watched a "documentary" that was tilted towards proving a cover-up of some degree, there's a lot of intelligent people who've examined the evidence and find fault with the center wing tank theory.

  22. You're going to have to show me where, in 2015, in the US there is a body of laws that prevents people of color from being involved in the functioning of their government. Not interested in what happened 50 years ago. Feeling sorry for the plight of the black person in this country has well and truly fucked your average black person. Please don't dent the planet.

  23. Let me help you out here. Before M.B. Ferguson was a majority black city whose majority of black citizens didn't give a fuck who ran the city. In 2 years it will return to that. In between you had every huckster in the land looking to make a buck off a cop doing his job and a dead thug, including his sperm and egg donors, media, politicians, neighborhood organizers, and the race baiters. Wait! I have an idea. What if we paid them to have kids? Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne
