Wouldn’t it be more efficient to teach only some kids reading and math and the rest how to carry heavy things?
Got an email from Paul Begala: Donate at least $5 to the DSCC, and be entered to win an iPad. There are probably less costly ways of getting an iPad than getting Democrats elected.
Seems disingenuous to complain about Obama going on vacations. It’s not like there’s anything useful I’d expect him to do instead.
The favorite tactic of the closed minded these days is to call people bigots.
“Duh! I’m a baker! I don’t know how many are in a dozen! Duh!”
A “Frank’s dozen” is five, and you should feel lucky you got that many.
The cynical part of me thinks that they won’t really give one away; it’s just a scam. It might as well be the deed to a ranch or a new Learjet.
The baker’s dozen is a tradition that started back when many families had large domestic staffs. The neighborhood baker would provide and extra portion to the cook or butler as a gratuity for patronizing his business.
This is one of the dangers of democracy. Given the opportunity to participate in the electoral process, regular people often start acting like politicians.
-Everyone should be taught reading. The catholic church during the dark ages allowed only the ruling class to read and used that as a way to block the lay people from reading the bible for themselves.
-Math after division and basic algebra – optional. -The rest of the kids should be given a chance to fix “small things” if they fail that then try to fix “heavy machines” if they fail that then they go down to move “heavy things” if they fail that then they get chained to “heavy things.” -If they fail that then we make them be commentators for the major news networks.
-Is Mrs Frank complaining about the “franks dozen minutes of love”? jk the shiggz dozen is only 2.. not sure why we call it a dozen. In fairness the Jewish Bakers started all this mess in the first place between WW1 and WW2. Get it? Instead of bankers like most leftists like to rant about I used bakers which we were talking about.
-side note I dont know if the stories about Jewish Bankers are true or not, But by those sort of rules for instance I know Obama is from Illinois and I certainly dont want here people talking about how bad Illinoisan American presidents are. So even if bankers that caused ww2 were Jewish I would rather here them described on different and more accurate terms.
-Of course God both has a sense of humor and despises the pretentious know-it-alls. Its why he gives the answers of the universe to the idiots and fools who could never convincingly explain them to anyone else and the secrets of happiness to the simple who never think to explain them to the other people who think they are so brilliant and clever.
-When you are young you are too dumb to know to be afraid. When you are middle aged you are smart enough to know to be afraid everything but to dumb to realize their is nothing you can do about it. When you are old your smart enough to know to be afraid and smart enough to know their is no guarantee anything you can do about it.
-Americas problems are not from consumption of imitation lard its from its consumption of imitation Lords.
-1835 Alexis De Tocqueville, author of Democracy in America, wrote: “The American Republic will endure until the day Congress discovers that it can bribe the public with the public’s money.”
-Modern secular activists have all the vices of religious people none of the redeeming virtues.
-I think their comes a point in everyone’s life where they ask themselves if their children are the anti-christ.
-I think an awesome onion article would be about the president being in vigorous foreign negotiations but hes really just arguing with people in the youtube comment section.

Is this a joke or are you really that retarded?
“Brain damaged and autistic” are the more accepted terms of today.
Frank, you are ready to pop the chute and take the slide! I’m just wondering if you will have that “come hither big boy” look about you when they slap the cuffs on you and haul you away to the local mental institution where they will shoot you up with Thorazine, Sodium Pentothal, Xanax and like turn you into a total tard? By the way, the “chute” was very ironicy in this guy’s case, I’m thinkin’…
Post Radical John, Martin Luther was the first during his time to translate the Bible into German so that the masses in Germany who did not know Latin could read Scripture for themselves! Sola Scripture is still the tenet of the Lutheran Church…
Shiggz, the Bible was written in Latin until the Protestant Reformation. Even if they tried, peasants could not learn Latin because it is difficult. The priests were aware that peasants — as evidenced by members of this site — are actually unable to complete a full sentence in Latin even after being taught the language for years.
Uhhhh, that’s the European way. It goes a long way to splaining why European kids get better grades than I did. Once you kick out the heavy lift students, the grades improve among those who are left.
@Post Racial John: I hate to tell you (actually I enjoy it) that it is impossible to be “post racial.” To be post racial implies that the concept of race does not exist in your worldview. If the concept of race does not exist in your worldview, then you are “post” something that does not exist to you, so you should just be “Post John.”

So you’re trying to radically change society by making bullies carry nerds’ books instead of knocking their books to the ground?
Let me guess, you’re the guy who used to have to scurry from class to class avoiding the jocks.
That explains so much.
I threw my words together way to quickly. I am sorry that a toss in line got all the attention when I was so much more proud the others. But then what parent isn’t proud of even their most unimpressive of children or artist and writer of their even least popular labors. I do appreciate all of your guys comments and different perspectives. I did know about the latin dynamic and the background on what made the King James version so remarkable in its time. I was not educated on everything else though so thank you we are all the better for it.
My daily dilemma is that when you are not a brilliant wordsmith as Frnak iz then the choices are to make short easily repeatable but technically inaccurate or insufficient statements. Choose a Medium length which is not easily repeatable or entirely accurate. Or very long which is not repeatable but much more accurate.
When it comes to influencing the political push and shove then “short and repeatable” always carries more weight. I am constantly surprised by even very smart people I know whose lives revolve on cliches that do not stand up to literally seconds of cross examination. Cliches make sufficient perceived substitutes where you really dont care to get involved and have to learn everything. Politics and nations and peoples rises and falls on the end result rather then the technical accuracy of its cliches. Which is what made me develop a phrase: (Which I have been meaning for months to add here)
-A people are collectively no better then their common cliches.

I thought the favorite tactic of close minded people nowadays is to call other people racists.
I guess a racist and a bigot are about the same. Or, are they?

Yea, we need a PhD. program in wheelbarrow for those with a 70 IQ.
A “Frank’s dozen” is five, and you should feel lucky you got that many.
That had better not count for bacon.

Welcome to public scool. Little johnny can’t read but can sign his welfare check and can understand homosexuality.

racist
Random thought: Why are ipads so junky? and whats up with hair nancy?
A Frank’s dozen is five because Frank ate the other seven.
Keep going shiggz! You’re showing a lot more brainpower than a liberal whose philosophy fits on a bumper sticker.

Brings to mind a story I read years ago about the U.S. Army training Philippine Soldiers before World War II.
Those who failed miserably at marksmanship were issued a “bolo” (machete) instead of a rifle, to save ammunition.
Ever since, any new recruit who has a bad day on the firing range is said to have “boloed.”
Thanks EOTS,
-I try and have something original and at least worth reflecting on every day. Not always easy and of course at times I get discouraged and wonder if I am wasting my time. Often I think of the old tale about the man and his unmoved rock.

-I also have heard quite a few stories from American experiences in Philippines. The bigger wars get all the attention but I understand there was a bunch of serious stuff that happened down there.
I’m confused: if we waste valuable class time teaching reading and math then who is going to teach my children the following:
– Johnny has 2 mommies or daddies
– Songs of praise for Obama
– Proper condom use in kindergarten
Silly, Frank. Next you’re going to want to teach them Science! too.

Matthew 11:25
At that time Jesus said, “I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children.
Yes, Father, for this was your good pleasure.”
