#49, DeLeMa,

Good points.

If you think you would like to “do” her then that is up to you. I personally try not to objectify woman. Then again, regardless of how physically attractive she might be, just knowing her slime ball position would give me a limp biscuit.

#46 “Do you advocate that citizens turn over all responsibility of nurturing children, maintaining good health and protecting life and liberty to the government?”

If you need to say that then the US is truly in a really sorry place. So much for all the freedom, democracy and all the patriot American hype as according to you it is not working.

This is why the world thinks the way it does about the US.

Cheers

p.s.
yep, we’re home schoolers. We have to look for older textbooks and college level ones, or just find general books…to use. Because, the new textbooks could not be any worse…they are pretty though. Very, pretty. Useless. Sort of like that press secretary.

psshhht, It’s not the fundies who’ve ruined our history textbooks! It’s the political correct morons who make all the mandates about what should and should NOT be in textbooks. The common cry is “less old white men” and “what about the people who weren’t famous”. Yeah, whatever. Betsy Ross sewing the flag, Pocahontas wasn’t a Stockholm Syndrome victim. Amelia Earhart was a “hero”. Women and minorities did EVERYTHING of importance, while those white men who were hanging around were a bunch of bull. Meanwhile, we don’t teach about wars…we don’t teach about the Holocaust, we don’t teach about dropping nuclear bombs on Japan, or about the Rape of Nanking, or any other atrocities that man has done to man in the name of justice or honor. We don’t teach about real turning points of our country. In fact, we don’t teach anything but a bunch of sanitized nonsense because we must protect the children from the reality of our history.
It doesn’t help their “self esteem” and other happy sheltering horses ass stuff like that. Any actual education died a long time ago in our public schools. Lets face it, we’re a nation of pampered, fat morons.

OFTLO – I too have met some from both camps, although, the majority around here seem to be those “fundy’s” you mention. I do think they tend to get a better education but, only if there’s a parent able to give their children the time and attention to the details of that education they need as well as actually being able to understand what they’re trying to teach.

And oh my-my !! I’d do’er too !! If she’s missed out on a bit of history..a few lessons from Kama and Sutra might be just the ticket for her !

#42 – Homeschoolers are better educated.

Some are… Some aren’t.

But I’m posting to suprise you Mike…

I’ve met a lot of homeschoolers who have lead me to change some of the ways I viewed homeschooling. I’m not so rabidly opposed to it anymore. In many cases, I rather like it.

But there is still a legion of homeschoolers from the fundy crowd who are just helping drag down our social progress.

I think they are balanced out by the ones who do it well.

it’s simple folks. The White House press secretary is not allowed to know anything that the president himself does not know.

While I agree that many parents choose to home school their children to protect their children from conflicting values (i.e. religion), I do not throw the baby out with the bathwater. If statistics show that home schooled children test better than their peers in community schools, why shouldn’t this be considered a teaching success and not just an ignorant attempt by religious zealots to further indoctrinate a captive audience.

Heheheheh! Have you been nipping at the corn squeezin’s again, MikeN? The only “better education” the get is indoctrination in the cult of anti-Darwinism.

#42 “Homeschoolers are better educated.”

Impossible! LOL!!

Why stop there why not “Home-Hospitals” then?

Home-Police, Home-Military – oh yeah the US has that already with all the guns…

That makes me laugh and the rest of the world as well.

#41 “If they school ‘em at home, the parents can prevent the kids from being exposed to Darwinism in science class.”

Oh great – Now the US is just like fundamental Islamic countries. No one sees any problem with this? No one looks ahead to a future fundamental Christian generation devoid of lessons from history having control of all the nukes and military?

Perhaps it won’t be long before the world starts to think about sanctions for the US before these ignorant bible thumpers get going with the crusades reloaded.

Holy shit.
