One of the few things I really dislike about my job, it's that time of year when many of my students transfer out to go to schools "up north" for the agriculture season. I know at 14 and 15 years old that many will be needed to help support the family by working and will not be enrolled in Michigan, Indiana, Minnesota, schools. Instead they will be back in school when the calendar reads late October or early November. I also know the reception they receive when they get to those towns. Some good and some not so good. By now I know them fairly well as damn good kids like the one that just left my classroom with her transfer paper in hand.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Apr 26, 2012 -> 07:51 AM) Am I to presume Tex is one of those crazy anti-porn people? No. I just do not see the honor in it. I believe it is one step lower than being a hooker. It's still being paid to have sex, only now other people can watch.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Apr 26, 2012 -> 11:05 AM) I remember doing this in here years ago, and really enjoyed it. However, that was on political topics. Any chance we can go with that? Honestly, a debate over pizza just doesn't involve much debate skills, it is entirely about taste. Rounds 2 and 3 will have a political theme. I will come up with a replacement for the pizza because deep dish would be too easy over thin crust

She is enjoying being retired, she was only going to work another year anyway. But still a little upset at how hard she worked to rehab and get back to work. She didn't need to push herself so much.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Apr 24, 2012 -> 08:09 PM) I know this was sarcasm, but it is actually true. Porn stars have the choice, they make a lot of money and they arent attacked or murdered for having sex/being naked/etc. And btw, I do not agree that they make "a lot of money". There are a few that do, but most are not paid much at all. Entry level, no pun intended, pays a couple hundred bucks per scene. Once an actor becomes known they can and do make a lot more, but like in any profession, you have to start somewhere and it isn't making the huge dollars. And I understand no one actually stated this but I've been chuckling at the thought of porn as an honorable profession and thought of this scenario You are attending the Christa McAuliffe Elementary School PTA meeting and you hear this acceptance speech . . . "I can't believe you have voted me Mom of the Year! Imagine the honor of being paid $1,500 for double anal penetration in my last movie AND Mom of the Year! It's almost too much to believe. Someone should write a movie about this

Sarcastic Tex needs to ride back in on this one. The amount of money argument is interesting. $20,000,000 is honorable, $20 is not? I'm not so certain about that. And if there really is honor in appearing in a porn movie then your mom, daughter, sister or wife appearing would be something a guy would be proud of. Imagine this scenario . . . Ted, I am so glad we saw you, our daughter Jenny's new movie just come out. It's called Horney Games, it's a spoof of Hunger Games but here the tribute who services the most guys in 24 hours gets to live, lol. You should see her in one scene, she's servicing four guys at once! I don't want to spoil the ending but she looks like a glazed donut. She earned $5,000 for this movie, her biggest payday ever. Anyway, we're having a few neighbors over to watch it. Nothing fancy just some pasta and breadsticks. I'll be there, I can still remember Jenny running around the neighborhood. You know we all are so proud of her. And wow, she earned $5,000 for the movie? My daughter Emma has to work two months as a dental hygienist to earn that kind of money and it's embarrassing that she has her hands in other people's mouths all day. You are so lucky that Jenny has the *wink* assets for that kind of work. Now Ted, don't be down on her, not every girl has the T&A to be in the adult movie business like our Jenny. Plus after a movie like this, Jenny always needs a good dental hygienist! See you Saturday.

I have built a couple systems from newegg parts and consider them to be the gold standard for on line businesses. Never a problem. My son just built one and he loves it. It has become much easier than crawling on the floor looking for jumper pins and trying to figure out setting that do not conflict with each other.

QUOTE (2nd_city_saint787 @ Apr 24, 2012 -> 06:22 PM) Maybe not the right thread but does anyone know of a legit free background check online....I'm trying to get my perc card but Im pretty sure I have a silly guilty by association felony on my record.....Only reason im not 100% is because I got a security job in IL before and the guy conducting the interview, whos a police chief in chicago, kept asking his assistant about the results of the background check...so either I dont have a felony, felonies that occur in IN dont count in IL, or he was bluffing about running a background check. 6 years ago I was the driver of a vehicle in which the guy in the backseat shot a kid with a very low powered BB gun and from what I remember somehow I got hit with an Assisting a Criminal and Battery charge....where as the guy who actually shot the kid apparently didnt get squat because hes in the military now Don't go on line, stop by the state's attorney office. They should be able to check. Bring lots of identity proof.

Within 24 hours I will be posting four different choices to be debated. The first two people to respond will have a chance to debate their choice. The opening round will be three rounds. By that I mean that each person will have a chance to post three times before the debate is closed. After that a poll will be opened to determine the winner. The four winners will face off against each other over two more topics, with the final two coming after that. The first four topics come from the areas of public policy, food and drink, and travel and entertainment. I avoided any topics that would be divided by political ideology. Or any division I could instantly think of, so it should be entertaining. I am leaving some of this to chance, please only respond to one of the questions. I am not going to set a min or max length of the posts, just remember if they become too long people will stop reading. Remember I am using a poll to determine wins and loses, that is about the messiest way possible, but you are being judged by your peers. As a preview, the topics I will be using for the opening round Dollar bill v. dollar coin Thin crust v. deep dish Beer v. coffee New Years Eve in Times Square v. romantic mountain cabin Remember it will be first come first served in each debate. Once someone picks a side you will have to take the other choice. Since some people here will debate anything, I doubt we will have a problem finding participants. My thoughts are to toughen up the topic for the second and final rounds. Comments? Thoughts? Ideas?

They need US style pornography, that honors women like nothing else.

QUOTE (FlaSoxxJim @ Apr 9, 2012 -> 11:34 AM) I would love to spend a significant amout of time in Alaska, but my wife who is literally allergic to cold (no bull — her body generates an inflammatory response similar to an immune response with prolonged exposure to cold air or water) would never go for it. My ex was the opposite, she could not handle the heat. Best thing I ever did was moving to South Texas

QUOTE (Jake @ Apr 23, 2012 -> 01:11 PM) My college blocks internet connection from game consoles And no one has found a way around it? What kind of idiots do have have at that school?

It says a lot when people will laugh at the joke, do you really want your fate decided by people too stupid to get out of jury duty?

QUOTE (Middle Buffalo @ Apr 19, 2012 -> 09:23 PM) I should add that I actually like this subforum, but being active and posting a lot isn't a license to break the rules. 1. I will not insult other posters, directly or indirectly 3. I will not bait people or push them over the line (a.k.a. pushing their buttons) 4. I will not post statements for the purpose of angering others 5. I will not prod posters repeatedly on a subject or chase them across topics to make a point I could find numerous examples of these rules being broken again and again by the same people - people with 10K or more posts who differ politically and go around and around in almost every thread in the filibuster. It may be ok between the people involved, buts it's tiring when it's the same two people making the same handful of points repeatedly. You name the topic, and I pretty much know how the most active people in this subforum will feel before I even enter the thread. Just my two cents. We agree.

I hope you are posting again soon.

Nicely played

I am happy to see the resignations that have been coming in. While it is legal where they were, it is clearly not the right thing to do. I wish the culture changes even quicker. But outside every military base I've been around are cheap bars, and prostitutes.
