No, Joe. I cannot. "I don't know how to define it; but I know it when I see it." Just out of curiosity - Constitution and inherent flaws?

1776

"So what." That's the sound of mediocrity followed by a string of varying snippets from the forewords of Covey books.

I've already made my position clear if Trump is on the ticket. P.S. One can vote Democrat even if there's a (R) after their name. I've done it. As of now; I couldn't do Democrat either. Neither party has a strategic plan for the U.S.

IMO: The Vietnam War was the catalyst. It didn't really get defined until Reagan. We came out of the war to a resigning President, followed by a non-elected President, then Carter stepped into a crumbling economy that worsened under his presidency. Reagan was elected and solidified the positions of cutting taxes, increased military spending, cutting many social programs, corporate leaders loving a path that would rid them of unions (ATC Strike) and converting the "three-legged stool" into a single strategy "under God."

Morning, Jerry. This cracked me up. Can't tell you how many times I've told friends, "I'm raising a little Democrat. Not that there's anything wrong with that." Especially when it comes to guns. Keith

Tablets. Allow me to expand. Gen Z is the first generation to have the world in their hands. Gen Z doesn't need to be taught; they know how to learn. Curriculum - of course, but the instructional methodology needs to be adjusted to adaptive learning. They need to be challenged on subjects. One of them says something and to their devices they go. And, they saturate themselves on the subject in a short period of time. As far as social rules. They have it wrapped up by the age of ten. The little one knew racism was bad. Her friends know racism is bad. They know about gender identification. My little one knows more about chromosomes than most 40 year old men. They accept others for their differences. More than any other generation. There was a time when previous generations made fun of the physically or mentally challenged. Not this generation. It is inspiring to see a physically or mentally challenged kid pull up in a car. They don't stand there and watch, They don't jeer. They go over and help. One of them grabs the books, the other grabs their lunch, another the wheelchair and they talk with the child - all the way to class. If they are well-versed in racism, gender identification, etc. they really don't need some adult less versed in the subject telling them what they need to know. They get it. They get it more than any other generation. Preaching to them ad nauseum about gender identification is about as effective as an undergraduate trying to show Kallend how smart they are in physics. They get it. They get it more than any other generation.

My earlier point was - discussed too much by those who already know. They get it. They're tired of being preached at. At what point does it become aversion. You need to drink water.

Thanks for understanding my point. The kids are getting tired of it. They get it. They embrace it more than any other generation.

Truthfully, I don't know. I haven't probed down to that level.

Correct. She has Advanced Chem this year [Edit: as in this fall]. Physics is in her 11th year.

She's not taking physics yet. Every class begins with the cordial discussion and some how it winds up being a starting discussion.

Yeah, Joe. I backed off the blanket statement. Don't mind a class at all. It would be nice if parents did it, but they don't. We've had several conversations about it. She's at "that age," so I'd rather discuss it and keep the channels of communication open, so when she does make a mistake (and she will), we can help her with it.

Truth. Thank you. My club was PGR before there was a PGR. In fact, two of our members broke off and formed the PGR. Been a part of it since the beginning.

I'm not tracking. Where they are or who they are? Cause who they are and politeness is defined in a sacred document, "the pursuit of happiness." Who they are . . . as in race, creed, color, sex, etc. was defined in Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. And yet, here we are, and where we are, some sixty years later - is having the conversation again. Leave people the fuck alone. Mind your own business. That's all people got to remember.

It is. I should back off the totally not teach sex ed in class, cause we all had "a," "1," sex ed class, but when you left the class - it was over. It is in every class now. The kids are getting tired of it. They know. Again, THE most tolerant generation.

Nope. The school shouldn't be teaching shit about sexuality. Frankly, my daughter and all her friends are tired of hearing it from class, to class, to class. She is the quintessential nerd - advanced/honors everything. she just wants to learn about the subjects and not be subjected to every teacher's cheering the cause the first 15 minutes in each class. "Daddy, it gets really old." This generation is more than aware, receptive and understanding of varying sexualities than any other generation, but they tire of everyone's agenda.

So is that the two-step or the foxtrot?

We try to not make fun of the special needs children in this state. [southern lady accent] God bless his soul. [/southern lady accent] Jon Stewart was no less than masterful. I was dying laughing.

That was good. +2 points

Now, I'm really confused. I thought it was liberals = snowflakes and conservatives = nazis or are things not the same as it used to be.

It was a joke, Joe. Choose love.

My mistake.
