It's a simple fix for me, ban home schooling and require all students to get immunizations to attend school. Two birds with one stone.
Ugh. Ugh.
What about banning home schooling that does not conform to educational standards?
I'm not against home schooling per se, but I have a sneaking suspicion that the majority of home-schooling is less "our children are not getting a quality education in public schools and I can do better" and more "fuck science and those hippies!"
The studies on homeschooling generally have small sample sizes and often use non-representative samples, so take everything I'm about to say with a grain of salt.
The majority of homeschooling families cite religious or moral reasons for homeschooling.
However, homeschooled kids on average outperform public school kids both on measures of academic performance and on measures of psychological well-being. This effect persists even when controlling for socioeconomic status.
I really wish we had some better statistics on home schooling, because anecdotally, every single home-schooler I knew growing up in Eastern Washington was doing it because schools were too liberal and refused to teach good science (read: creationism). Those were some terrible, faulty textbooks they used.

I just had a guy call in because, apparently, Microsoft and Google are sending him death threats.
Dear customer: Welcome to crazy town. Population: You.
Back home after funeral, the first secular funeral I have been to but it was largely the same.
Also the first funeral I have been to for a young person (as in <60), I suspect the two are connected.
On the plus side I got my free iPod Nano today too.
I've only been to one religious funeral.
In my family, most people like to have more of a wake sort of thing, where people go over to the home of the recently-deceased, and have a party with food and drink and tell stories and such. The "funeral" is frequently just the immediate family in a very small ceremony.
This generally seems like the right way to handle things, though I suppose context matter.
The human body gets sick for no reason at all all the god damn time.
Well, "for no reason" implies "no exogenous reason" or "no known reason" but there has to be a reason even if it's completely endogenous and we don't know what it is.
I mean, I figure that's what you were saying (we don't know why, or the cause is completely endogenous) but it's hard to tell what Bill Maher is talking about sometimes because he uses paranoid hippie rhetoric.
every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.

Don't you ugh me, there are very few cases where homeschooling makes sense and all of them are medically related. A blanket ban doesn't make sense, no, but for the vast majority of students there's no compelling reasons that they should be home schooled.
"The public schools in my country are shitty" is a pretty good reason to homeschool to me.

I want my wake to have an open bar. If there aren't at least three family rifts started/re-started, and one patched-over, I will haunt them forever.

I guess it is largely the same, my experience from movies and such is that in america and such a funeral includes the burial? This isn't the case here, you have a ceremony held by someone who doesn't actually know the deceased (a priest for a christian funeral) and play music and then everyone takes farewell and puts down flower on the coffin or on some altar. Then you eat food somewhere else and people hold personal speeches and such.

Like Steve Jobs's experiment with homeopathic medicine. Didn't do him a world of good either.
yo @Organichu sorry about making a shit joke and then when you very calmly protested against it I just got pissy right back at you for no reason at all.
Was in a real shitty mood; this weekend kind of a created a little perfect storm of shit feeling and realizations
so I got annoyed at and lost my patience with the realities of internet communication and did what I do sometimes: take me feeling shit out on others by being a cock.
So, like, it wasn't because I suddenly hate you and jews now.
i appreciate it dogg. i am sorry for pushing the point also.

The photo below is from December 7, 1941 and the Pearl Harbor sneak attack. The burning American aircraft was one of 188 planes destroyed at Kanoehe Bay Naval Air Station. Because of the Japanese Navy's ruthless discipline and planning, most American planes never even left the runway!

Sam Rohrer is under heavy attack. While our internal voter tracking data culled from thousands of phone calls last week shows Sam with a strong and motivated Republican base, the misleading, negative attacks demand a bold response. We cannot allow the other side to distort Sam's courageous, conservative public record.

Yeah, Jobs was a brilliant marketer, he knew what people wanted, took a company on the verge of bankruptcy and set the stage for them to become the richest company in the world... but the man was a fucking idiot when it came to healthcare, especially his own.

Possibly. I might have some more Microscope to do tonight. Where I will be very careful to not make any jokes. None at all. Because I made a joke about techno that became a core facet of the world.

you ever have one of those conversations that make you realize how much progress you've got left to go
and you're kind of melancholy over it
but the fact that you had that conversation is a boon
that is me right now
I hate those.

Writing out my will was a pretty dark time for me. I had separated from my ex and was living with the assumption that she would eventually find me and kill me. I wrote it as a weird act of gaining control of my life. That even if her actions ended my life, I would still exert some control even in death.

I also need to make sure I'm cremated as soon as possible after death. No organ donation for me. Too much risk it will save an old, white person.
