    Agree with this!

    Along these lines, paying loads for a diamond engagement/wedding band (ring, set, etc.) is dumb.

    It's just chocolate.


    Agree w/ NYC pizza being overrated. It's great, but not the end all of pizza.

    It tastes like nothing. If I want a chocolate cake, I am making a chocolate cake. None of this weird red food coloring cake with a hint of cocoa flavor.

    Getting married without a prenup is dumb.

    Cities should ban all cars.

    All companies payroll should be known and able to be looked up by anyone that works in that company.

    Obama's education policy is awful. Charter schools are utter shit because not every problem can be solved by the free market. We should stop going after teachers/teachers union and address the real issue, child poverty including a mandated truly integrated school system.

    Racism + sexism will always exist. Racism + Sexism in America have little to do with poor outcomes of minorities/women.

    That is definitely something I could support!

    I would also add that schools (especially in ohio, I'm not sure how other states do it) need to be funded equally.

    Except funding doesn't correlate well with education. The reason poor kids do poorly in "poor" school districts is because their family does not value education. Want to fix the schools? Make parents accountable for their child's education.

    No surprise COA would pull the classic liberal move of blaming external avenues rather than being honest with people about their own failures.

    I agree more money to the schools is not the answer. Personally I think free daycare (or something like that) would be the solution. Dumb asses have kids they can't afford, and they can't work and take care of them. Those kids grow up with no positive influences or guidance or father and they turn into more dumb asses who have kids they can't handle. We need to be able to break the cycle somehow. If they had someplace positive to take their kids while they worked (or fucked off) maybe that would help?

    Sleepr you dummy, you just supported my point and you didn't even know it bc you're so quick to be a know it all chest thumping dumbass.

    According to "Capital Kids," a new report on the state of children throughout the Washington region, the childhood poverty rate in D.C.—those kids living in a family of four taking in just $22,000 a year—stands at 30.4 percent, higher than Mexico's rate. CHILD POVERTY is a real issue in DC which equates to lower test scores and poorer performance. Many reasons for child poverty, but fact remains child poverty is a great indicator of poor school performance.

    Teachers aren't miracle workers. When you have kids with a ton of out of school trauma, that limits the impact a teacher can have. Very similar to what I said about charter schools, throwing money at a school isn't the solution. Dealing with effect ways to limit child poverty is a much more effect way to increasing school performance. However, that's much harder problem to solve.
