I've never understood this, but why is the DOE always the target for destruction, when their job is to provide public education for the masses? Please explain.

I think John Stossel sums it up well.

"The department doesn’t teach kids or pay teachers. It comes up with studies, test requirements, and one-size-fits-all rules that limit what schools can do if they want federal money. That money gets taken from states and shipped to Washington, D.C., which then ships it back to states if they do something the department likes. On that long journey, plenty of the money disappears into the hands of bureaucrats.

Turn education back over to local governments, the way it was not so long ago. Let entrepreneurs and local governments compete to improve schools."

And then what'll happen is a whole bunch of poorer people will be crammed into under-staffed and under-funded schools while the rich kids will gets top of the line education.

7. Make the secretary of education a woman to wants to defund public schools

I don't want to argue with you, I just wanna stress I support destroying the Department of Education.

That will be one of Trump's greatest accomplishments if that happens.

There's nothing wrong with starting a conversation- we are both highly capable of holding  a proper one without effort. 

 

Also, the department of education is highly flawed. However, what would we replace it with?

It sound kind of reasonable actually but I know from Sweden, the schools benefitted greatly when the government managed the funds since the could guarantee a proper education for everyone instead of it being dependent on where you live. When we turned that responsibility over to the municipalities, it lowered our overall national performance and mostly benefitted rich municipalities.



Very very very bad news. He's just going to deny access to outlets that don't treat him favorably...



Bet with Adamblaziken:

I bet that on launch the Nintendo Switch will have no built in in-game voice chat. He bets that it will. The winner gets six months of avatar control over the other user.

Outrageous numbers. Show me the numbers that prove that there are thousands of terrorists in Europe.

If this was going on in Canada right now and the MSM was covering it up, would you feel safe walking around??.

Yeah, I'd be pissed too if the police were anally raping people with batons. Oh wait, the police here already plant heroin into people's cars for illegal searches:

I agree, I shouldn't feel safe when the police are as crooked as they are.



You guys haven't seen nothing yet. Trump will get re-elected.

"Guy: I was raped by the police"

"Other Guy: cool lets destory the whole place and attack inocent people who had nothing to do with it"

You clearly have no idea of whats going on in Europe atm and im sick of seeing you reply in such threads. You also just like to make up excuse after excuse while covering your head in the sand.

Its so very sad that you would agree with such riots with honest hard working people having their cars, homes, shops destroyed, people being attacked in the streets, people being scared to walk the streets etc all cos one guy who was getting arrested said he was raped (Not even proving if he was just his word)...

Dont get me wrong the is many cops who does bad things, but that does not in anyway shape or form give immigrants or anyone the right to go around destorying innocent peoples livelyhoods or the right to go around attacking innocent people.

For you to agree with such beheaver really makes me question your opinion when it comes to such things. I could of been a whole lot more mean to you about your reply since it sickens my stomach you would agree and try to come up with an excuse for why this is ok but i wont since id most likely be banned..

The police admitted that it happened, though they called it an accident which I find hard to believe:

http://www.torontosun.com/2017/02/12/riots-in-paris-after-alleged-rape-by-cops-baton-called-an-accident

And you're sick of me commenting in these threads? Well, I kind of have to post in these threads in order to avoid an echo chamber.

Also, I'll give this Martin Luther King Jr. quote again:

"But it is not enough for me to stand before you tonight and condemn riots. It would be morally irresponsible for me to do that without, at the same time, condemning the contingent, intolerable conditions that exist in our society. These conditions are the things that cause individuals to feel that they have no other alternative than to engage in violent rebellions to get attention. And I must say tonight that a riot is the language of the unheard. And what is it America has failed to hear?...It has failed to hear that the promises of freedom and justice have not been met. And it has failed to hear that large segments of white society are more concerned about tranquility and the status quo than about justice and humanity."

Yes, riots are not an ideal option, but what do you expect to happen when people continually ignroe their concerns and problems when they're using peaceful means? You expect them to be mistreated by authority and to just shut their mouth and take it?

OMG!!.

1st of all that Martin Luther King Jr quote is nothing at all like whats happening in France.

2nd of all, if their only reason for rioting was over this one guy getting raped why dont they protest outside the police stations??.

Why are they going around smashing up innocent peoples homes, shops cars?. Why are they attacking innocent people in the street?.

You keep quoting that Martin Luther King Jr speach way way out of context, and once again try using it to make whats going on in other places seem "OK".

In fact its an insult to Martin Luther King and black people of his time for you to be mis quoting him in such a way and you should be ashamed of yourself for doing so.

Im sick of you talking about the problems Europe is facing as if you live here.

Yes it is, there are many minorities facing trouble in France, have you ever seen the movie "La Haine"? Yes, it's a work of fiction, but it highlights the severe troubles that minorities face in France. There were also riots before in 2005 because of poor living conditions:

So, since I'm not European I can't talk about European problems? How specific do we get? You might as well not be allowed to talk about France either, since you don't live there.

One link is just some guy talking, the YouTube search doesn't show any CNN videos advocating assassinating Trump.

Did you read the text of the CNN report? It says 'developing now - desaster could bring Obama cabinet member in office' and they talk about the assasination in detail. They also had Interviews with CIA members on that topic and they are openly promoting the idea.

 

Judging by your Lack of English skills in most of your posts, you're not a native speaker. You're not Russian by chance? :)
