Pay and retirement for teachers vary state by state because teachers are employees of local governments. Perhaps the retirement packages in your state aren't great but in my state they sure are.

When someone bombs a mall or hijacks a plane, that's pretty clear they're trying to create a fear of shopping or travelling. But what is it that the isis team is trying to do with their beheading videos? What exactly are they trying to make us fearful of, getting our heads sawn off? I didn't really need a video to have that already high on my "do not attempt at home" list. Fear of being an aid worker in a combat zone? Anyone who is in Syria and the like as an aid worker has either accepted the risks or is hopelessly naive, so that can't really be it either. So, whatever reason they have, the actual result of showing these videos is to firmly illustrate what complete barbarians they are and to dissuade anyone who might be thinking to just live and let live with these people.

It's probably industrial pollution from China

How many Londoners were killed by George Washington's legions of suicide bombers?

If one's bomb is going to be sitting around long enough to wait for people to read a note on it and call the bomb squad anyways, it's not a very effective bomb.

No, "ipso facto" cannot be "evidence". Ipso facto means a direct cause. What you should have put is: "Girls were ipso facto steered away for sexist reasons then or earlier in life as they didn't get in with equal numbers."

So non-strawman liberals are perfectly OK that boys and girls equally have an opportunity to register for the computer classes but mainly boys actually sign up?

Yes, what about the rest of the federal government's spending, of which military spending is not even a third. Social entitlement spending is what the vast bulk of your federal taxes and borrowing go towards, not aircraft carriers.

Has the Cold War really ramped back up to the point where that system needs a replacement?

Let's see; every time a customer buys one of their products, the government gets a cut for sales tax. Before that customer could buy it, the government got a cut for personal income tax. The US based portion of the income will pay US corporate taxes and a lot other national governments will get their local corporate share. When whatever portion of the profits get paid out to shareholders, each shareholder will pay income tax. Just how much more tax do you want?

A gun that shoots a weighted net or even just secret service guys with bolas could completely mess up any hobby grade quad copter and not damage any nearby buildings.

I thought that was only a pilot; "show" sort of implies a serial show.
