Cop out. I think there's plenty of blame all around - don't you? Edit: You teach in a different environment - acknowledged. But I'm sure that your curriculum and book selection and class structure was just handed to you and you must 100% comply? Must be a very unsatisfying job then since you have zero input in how or what to teach...... Teachers in secondary and elementary school may be able to design their curriculum (around certain basic guidelines of course), but if it is decided that scores or awards will not be given on a schoolwide basis, they have no say in that. And if the parents allow the board to continue with such policy, I would say they and the board have much more blame than a teacher. Now if we are talking one teacher only who does not give score cause everyone is a winner, there is quite a difference and we can simply blame that teacher.

I guess you are just not looking hard enough. I have around 2500 hundred songs and most of that is "rock". But what the hell is rock anyway? You talking like Elvis Presley rock n roll or Def Leppard rock or what? Today, Ya got The White Stripes, The Strokes, Hot Hot Heat, Queens of the Stone Age, etc if ya want to go mainstream. Many more and even more when you go off major label. The term rock n roll is so loose though, it begs better definition. I agree with the sentimentthough...most rap these days sucks, but ya just avoid that shite. There is plenty of good music in all genres, if you are willing to search for it Why yes, my license number is a palindrome. Thank you for noticing.

Too bad PS3 is probably gonna be around 450. I will be waiting for quite a while before I plunk money down on a new system. There is WAY to many games I have yet to play for the ones already out. I figure I will get a PS3 in 2007. Why yes, my license number is a palindrome. Thank you for noticing.

You don't have my number. Give ya a hint though: it has 10 digits. Why yes, my license number is a palindrome. Thank you for noticing.

Bingo. That is exactly what we said earlier.. THAT is the difference I was talking about. I would be fine with leasing. Why yes, my license number is a palindrome. Thank you for noticing.

Dude, the difference is simply that we are not BUYING the land. On the other hand, private industry would be PURCHASING it for their use. That is a HUGE difference. Believe me, I know the reasons are selfish and have never said it was not. But when I am selfish to want government parks to stay that way, my selfishness does not impose upon anyone except industry. It does not limit the PEOPLE who run those industries from using the land for recreation; it just prevents their COMPANIES from exploiting it for financial gain. The land stays public and everyone can have fun on it. It goes private and chances are no one except that company gets any use anymore. The difference is the "you guys". You went and made it generalized. I kept it to only you. Add to that, don't try to tell me none of what you post here is ever self-serving. That anything you say here is only to help others. Please. Why yes, my license number is a palindrome. Thank you for noticing.

Hey, it's your private country club. I can see why you'd hate to lose it. You are just being contrary to be contrary and I shal have none of it. If you really cannot see the difference between the public being able to use these lands for recreation and a company buying the land, exploiting it, and restricting it from public use, there is nothing I can do to show you the difference. Why yes, my license number is a palindrome. Thank you for noticing.

The fact that you don't see a difference between hiking, camping and such and say strip mining or drilling or commercial development is a little frightening. Its kind of like saying that when I use the bathroom without making a mess, I am the same as the guy who comes in and shits all over the floor. A radical analogy, but there a quite the difference between the smart camper and blasting holes in the ground. And besides the point here is that currently, they are there for everyone to use. If private companies own them, they will not be available. Furthermore, i don't really see the reason why to turned this into some "granola eating" hypocritical enviromentalist thing. I didn't get that tone at all till you introduced it. Why yes, my license number is a palindrome. Thank you for noticing.

gag..... gross.... country??? fuck me gently with a chain saw! sublime, fine. country? fuck girl, you need therapy. This is also the girl who did not know who Ray Charles is. Why yes, my license number is a palindrome. Thank you for noticing.

Only for the past 150 years though of course... since the British Royal family popularised it... despite the fact it drew scorn from the Church as being anti-Christian... Of course until the last couple of dozen years no one would have been having this discussion yet because until very recently tradition dictated you only put the tree up on the evening of Dec. 24th. So much for tradition. PS. If you want to use the "traditional" name for the thing simply stick to "Tannenbaum" rather than this new fangled invented name "Christmas Tree". Hey now! Logic and rational thought have no place here. Why yes, my license number is a palindrome. Thank you for noticing.

That is cool. But please, sinker, don't eat him (your avatar). Why yes, my license number is a palindrome. Thank you for noticing.

Where is that rule stated? ehhh....over there! Why yes, my license number is a palindrome. Thank you for noticing.

Ok so what exactly that I am looking for? Is the IQ level higher in these states or what. What is it about these countries that is made so great by making weed legal. I never said anything about greatness. But you will find that decriminalizing not only brings in revenue to the state, but also removes alot of the black market. And by decriminlizing and even regulation, the State can control the quality. You would probably alos find that crime is no greater because it is legal. In addition, from personals stays in countries that have decriminalized, I have found the people to be much more relaxed about drug usage. And I do not mean because they are stoned, but that they don't see using MJ as a big deal and so the result is that they end up using less. And because it is not some big bad thing for children to defy their parents, they are less likely to abuse it. Go to Amsterdam. Outside of the Red District, it is a very calm and tranquil city. The bottom line is that people will continue to use marijuana legal or not. Weed is no more (and in fact less) harmful than alcohol and yet we tolerate the latter so much more in this country. Hell, getting drunk as a kid is a "rite of passage" but getting high usually earns some horrible stigma that should not apply. The idea is not to simply legalize something because people are doing it, but it make the law be realistic...especially in comparison to alcohol which certainly kills FAR more people than MJ. So I ask you this: why do YOU think weed should stay illegal while alcohol remains legal? The status quo is not always correct. Why yes, my license number is a palindrome. Thank you for noticing.

I am clueless because I dont think like you? I would like to understand why this drug would be soooo great to legalize. Please educate me. Forget him. Do exactly what I said and learn yourself. I have had this debate with too many people to repeat it here and the facts on other countries don't lie. Why yes, my license number is a palindrome. Thank you for noticing.

why? Why yes, my license number is a palindrome. Thank you for noticing.

Absolutely.; I bought GTA: SA new and that is about it. I am currently playing Paper Mario RPG, Metroid Prime 2: Echos and a slew of other games that came out at least a year ago. Its not like the games that are awesome are going to lose their awesomeness in the meantime. If it is fun, it will be just as good next year. Why yes, my license number is a palindrome. Thank you for noticing.

Dude, just take a look at the facts on countries where mj is decrimininalized and THEN come back and try to argue against it. You will find that making weed legal is not the end of society as we know it. Why yes, my license number is a palindrome. Thank you for noticing.

All you would have had to say was the the first sentence. worng interpretation happens all the time. But thanks for assuming my tone. Looks like incorrect interpretation runs both ways. Why yes, my license number is a palindrome. Thank you for noticing.

The freedom of which you speak, is, I am guessing, the 1st amendment. And it only applies to infringement by the government. If an office decides to ban Christmas items, it may be a poor managerial decision for moral, but it is their right. The freedoms detailed in the Bill of Rights to do not apply to private business. If it did, you could tell your boss to "Shut the fuck up" and not get fired. There is NO RESTRICTION on freedom if a tree on GOVERNMENT property is renamed. Everyone is still allowed to celebrate as they see fit in their private lives. Have no fear, your freedom is still quite in tact. Why yes, my license number is a palindrome. Thank you for noticing.

1) Its not the attorney's job to repeal laws. He is just doing his job. Until the legislature changes them or they are found unconstitutional, it is his job to prosecute. Stupid law, but it is so. and 2) I am going to keep saying this until it hurts: What affect does the name of something in a public place have upon the way YOU celebrate Christmas? If your faith is strong, the answer should be none. Why yes, my license number is a palindrome. Thank you for noticing.

Of course. Shit is crashing a burning all over the place. That is the reason I never get systems RIGHT away. Well, that and I will not spend nearly a grand for a fucking video game console. Not when I got about 12 games sitting on my table for PS2 and Gamecube that have not been completed yet. That does not even include the Xbox I haven't bought yet! Plus, did you see the prices of the new XBox games? They were going for 60-70 dollars at EBGames. I mean, damn. RULE: Wait and buy used. You won't miss anything. There are still people online playing fucking Halo 1 and even Quake for the the PC. So, its not you are gonna miss anything. Why yes, my license number is a palindrome. Thank you for noticing.

Oh my, that was so clever of you!

Promise anominity about our National Energy Policy? Is there some classified information there I am unaware of? If the government is using outside sources to create a national policy for our energy consumption, usage, and control, as a citizen, I want and demand to know those sources. On a general side note: Also interesting that while Big Tobacco and MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL had to swear into their Congressional hearings, Big Oil avoided that. Gee, why would they not have to swear in when Mark McGwire did? I guess truth in baseball is so much more important. Why yes, my license number is a palindrome. Thank you for noticing.

Not my absolute favorite, but pretty good. My fav has to be Jurassic 5...old school sound from a relatively new group. If you have not heard them, check em out. Follow that with Atmosphere. This guy is damn good. Why yes, my license number is a palindrome. Thank you for noticing.
