Comment Re:No, school should not be year-round. (Score 1) 421

American schools brag about how they assign more hours of homework than there are hours in the day, start so early that at some schools (like my own highschool) students need to start getting up as early as 4-5am, see recess as optional, and serve such terrible food in such small quantities that hunger alone hurts kids grades.

They'll fall over themselves for it. Current tax laws reward reckless short-term profiteering, that's why you see shit like Hostess and RMoney where executives flat out vampire a company into bankruptcy and then take a golden parachute to the next one. Just a few decades ago tax rates were such that it was much better to develop a stable long-term profit at a lower level and consistently reinvest the rest back into your employees and customers.

The UN is so ridiculously and blatantly anti-Israel that they sanctioned israel 22 times in a single year but completely ignored genocide in Africa. Top level UN officials have repeatedly admitted the UN is biased, and a majority of the "sanctions" and "statistics" put out are directly from arab nations and representatives within the UN.

Israel already offered a complete capitulation to virtually all demands and a two state solution in the Camp David accords. The Saudi Royal Family flat out said it would be a crime against the palestinian people if Arafat refused. Guess who walked out without even making a counter-offer?
