I know a lot of teachers and one thing I've _never_ heard anyone say is that they schools have too much money. Hell, I've never heard _anyone_ say their department in _any_ line of work would be better off with less money. Nobody thinks like that.

Maybe that's the problem.

Comment Re:flat earthers are dumb, but flouride is toxic (Score 1) 356

Here's a peer-reviewed journal article for you: https://ajph.aphapublications.... Summary:

Results. No clear differences in IQ because of fluoride exposure were noted. These findings held after adjusting for potential confounding variables, including sex, socioeconomic status, breastfeeding, and birth weight (as well as educational attainment for adult IQ outcomes).

Conclusions. These findings do not support the assertion that fluoride in the context of CWF programs is neurotoxic. Associations between very high fluoride exposure and low IQ reported in previous studies may have been affected by confounding, particularly by urban or rural status.

I would honestly argue that Hillary is the greater evil between the two.

That's dumb. Hillary was the status quo, Trump is worse than the status quo.

When you have termites throughout your house, and the status quo is to keep putting up wall-paper, kicking holes in the walls is actually better in the long run.

Why do you think that? Unions carry many more votes than the people who own corporations. If a large union said we are going to vote this way that should have much more sway than the CEO of company doing so.

Are you counting shareholders in the number of voters who own corporations?

So, if the EU denies access to the .eu domain to people who aren't in the EU, it's a stupid bureaucratic decision and the only people who will suffer are in the EU? Should people in Myanmar be able to register .eu domains also?

Why not? Anyone can register a .TV (Tuvalu). Anyone can register a .CO (Colombia). Anyone can register a .FI (Finland). You get the picture.

Of course not. This is a 4-page (opinion) memo containing information cherry-picked from 400 pages if information, by a Congressman who use to work for the Trump campaign. Furthermore, the original source information is classified, so we cannot see it to gain any context

Ah but we do have context! We have the context of the entire opposition party protesting the release of this memo

So what does it mean that the Republicans are blocking the Democrats' report?
