UK memo reveals US plan to provoke an invasion of Iraq
QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jun 30, 2009 -> 07:32 PM) As much as I despised Bush as a President, I don't think he did either of those things. Torture or not torture has shades of gray, Bush's line was in a place not the same as me, but I think he was talked into it because he didn't have the balls to go against the hawks he chose to surround himself with. Cheney, who was more intimately involved in that end of things, MAYBE you talk about that. Maybe,. I agree. Plus, it is really hard to imagine our leadership as war criminals. I am not saying it could not happen, just saying it is hard to imagine.

I'm sure you would have preferred if I used some actual derogatory words that I won't even say here. Grow some skin. Oh yeah and you missed one here dude. You are welcome. Saved you a suspension. You may not know this but we have adults and women who read these threads, people who log on while at work.

UK memo reveals US plan to provoke an invasion of Iraq
QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jun 30, 2009 -> 03:55 PM) No I got it, I own the album (Joshua Tree I think), but also took the opportunity to clarify. IIRC the administration did talk quite a bit about those WMD prior to the war.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jun 30, 2009 -> 02:27 PM) That was never the prime motivation for the war, despite their claims otherwise. I guess the reference was too obscure.

Gov. Sanford
QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jun 30, 2009 -> 02:14 PM) Funny that he was all up in arms during the Clinton/Lewinsky scandal. Of course, he wasn't getting any until Clinton left Washington. It was like following Bartolo Colon through a buffet

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 30, 2009 -> 03:30 PM) In that case, frankly, I have no issues with how former Senator Coleman handled himself in this election contest. His people may not have made the best arguments, but he had his day in court and is willing to accept the decision. That speaks better of him than I thought his actions would. I agree. It does suck to be him. He has to be banging his head into the wall saying "I lost to him??"

Lou Pinella wins something
QUOTE (DanksFan @ Jun 30, 2009 -> 01:58 PM) Sounds to me like the players polled are a bunch of pussies. Why is everyone so scared of Ozzie??? Because he's not afraid to tell you when you play like horse s***? What a bunch of thin skinned little girls... Could it be his brilliance is using the bullpen? Could it be benching players for seemingly factors other than on the field? Read a few game threads and see how often fans question some of the s***, then be a guy on the bench. I'm not certain it is "being a p****", but it seems you share his enlightened attitudes about men, women, and sexuality.

Teaching Certificate
QUOTE (SnB @ Jun 16, 2009 -> 08:36 PM) so quick question. Are there programs that just give the certificate? I was under the impression you either have to get another bachelors or get a masters. Here in Texas there are Alternative Certification Programs. Basically a B.A. or B.S. will qualify you. From there you take their classes and pass the state tests. Check the No Child Left behind Act, basically 24 hours total in a subject, with 12 hours advanced will designate you as highly qualified. http://www.teach-now.org/ May be what you are looking for. Bi-lingual math and science is in high demand, followed by math and science. If you want to coach, things get really interesting. Many coaching jobs are linked with specific teaching assignments. For example, the assistant volleyball coach that is leaving taught history, so the replacement will probably have to teach history as well.
