I seem to remember a Bears game years ago where they pushed the O-line back into the QB, knocking him over.

FWIW they seem to be pretty sure that the actual attacks were a group using the protests as cover and not retaliation for the movie.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Sep 15, 2012 -> 01:08 PM) Did you really just quote an article that used the south having worse scores than areas with teachers unions, as evidence of teacher unions being good? Why dont we compare apples to apples. Lets compare a private school in Chicago (no union) to a public school in Chicago. Think about it, and then realize why that entire article completely missed the point. Its not about whether unions are good, bad or indifferent, its about what can we do to ensure that children receive the best education. And Im sorry, but unlike the teachers union, I think that all options should be on the table and there should be no sacred cows. If that is so wrong, I dont understand the world anymore. Simply put, show me some evidence that the teachers union has helped children, because we all know that the union helps teachers. The point isnt about helping teachers, its about helping children. No, I quoted an article that countered some anti-union "reform" rhetoric that claims teachers unions' are the problem.

You don't necessarily need to privatize the schools if you want to run deregulation experiments, though.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Sep 15, 2012 -> 01:16 PM) Ironic that you posted in another thread an article that implied that unions were the reason that Northern Schools were better than Southern Schools. I guess its not that simple. That article did no such thing. It claimed that there was no causal evidence that unions are the problem, not that they are the solution. edit: I'm not sure what you thought was ironic, anyway. I was saying that workers milling about a job site is a job site thing, not a union thing.

$199 for 16GB, $299 for 32GB, $399 for 64GB That's a lot of money for more memory.

Exactly. edit: meant for mr. genius, not steve.

The .1% who have captured 90+% of the economic growth of the last 3 years were the teachers. Basic stuff, guys.

IIRC they didn't even have songs sub-grouped by artist. It was like one big "mp3.txt" file that you scrolled through.

I have one floating around in my closet I think. Dell's software of that era (2004?) was way, way better than iTunes was at the time.
