I hope that none of you folks who use Twitter weren't drawn into this:

No hair rollers or pajamas: High school principal sets dress code for parents

Is it just me, or does this seem to target a specific subset of potential parents? Where is the no camo tank tops or rebel flag t-shirts.... Its Texas after all.

Good point, after reading about this and watching the news video report, I believe that she had no specific group in mind. The dress code seems to be more about setting a standard for everyone.

So have Obama and Hillary...cuz they're both ya know...Christian...

And no it is not a gotcha moment at all. Try to keep up. None of this is a gotcha moment. Complaining that any of them didnt use the word Christian is moronic and indicative of how far victimhood, partisanship, and emotion has seeped into the right.

Spoken from a 4 star gold card member of the most hypocritical party ever known to man. Too funny.

Yeah that's the thing about faith, it's fungible depending upon what's being talked about. BTW: doesn't the bible also tell you that the Christ was tended to and placed in the cave? How are we so certain that he wasn't medically cared for? Well, I suppose that the answer will be because there was no mention of it, right? Well there's no mention of what the creator did during break time either, just on the seventh day...rested. There are lots of typical omissions in the bible, or do we believe that no one ever took a deuce?

I simply refuse to picture in my mind... My Lord my savior... taking a dump behind a cypress tree and wiping his ass with a fig leaf.

Is it an opinion? Yes.

So is what you said. So what's your point?

You are, however, wrong that it is not an opinion based in fact as I have posted supporting facts here many times.

I didn’t state mine wasn’t an opinion.

You are correct, your opinion are based on facts, just like mine. We do come to different conclusions. I believe we should only allow the best and brightest to immigrate...you believe we should let anybody and everybody immigrate.

I would say it is reasonable.

Kids are cruel. When parents show up looking like they don’t care, children are likely to suffer the consequences. From there, it sets a better example for their children.

As for the racial aspect, I have never seen black people show up to school in pajamas and hair curlers. I have seen white moms, usually from the trailer park. Funny how we equate race differently...Shark.

Isnt the NYT a fake news source?

I guess only when they post things you disagree with.

How very Republican of you.

i specifically targeted that paper so YOU would accept it

Wait till the wind blows once again in the northwest direction... he'll accept the paper then again that he slurped all over just a couple months ago.,, at least for a couple days anyway till the wind shifts back again. These guys should start their own sitcom. Good stuff.

Hold up...

What party do you think I'm a member of?

You seem to have no idea what my political views actually are (amongst other things).

Sure. And that's fine. We can debate the proper weight we should behind the respective facts and logical arguments till the cows come home.

I wouldn't say that's an accurate representation of my position though.

I might be late to the convo or be making an irrelevant point to the convo because i cant keep up with this thread but I would just like to point this out.

The New Zealand terrorist attack happened on a Friday. By the end of Sunday there were more casualties worldwide at the hands of radical islam then the terrorist attack in New Zealand.

New Zealand is not the norm... radical islamic terrorism is.

Neither should be

 

[Skins2021]

Also, who elses immediate assumption was that Notre Dame cathedral fire was set by a radical muslim?

Does that make me an islamophobe or am I just acknowledging trends and probabilities?

Hold up...

What party do you think I'm a member of?

You seem to have no idea what my political views actually are (amongst other things).

I believe I know more than you think but you are correct in saying that I don't truthfully know you. However, from your viewpoints and debating logic I would conclude that you lean left.. Moderate to a bit extreme. ..not that theres anything wrong with that... unless you turn radical with reasonings that make absolutely no sense... then you become scary. I view you the same as I view Shark, Sty, chiller... and that is with respect to your beliefs.

The liberal party in which you lean (and im just talking in generalization) makes no sense to me whatsoever. The party has used every resource avail to them since Trump became elected (fairly) to oust the president on lies, slander and heresay. Still to this day with the new election 16 months or so away they continue to spend their energy focused on ways to remove Trump rather then focus their attention to the simpliest forms of mean... and that is to rally up their troops and just vote the son of a bitch out. Insted you have your front runner talking out his ass by now saying convicted felons of the most heinous kind still should have the right to vote. Let me guess,,, im thinking they would all vote for the party who wanted to abolish the death penalty. It's assine and really quite insulting to their victims.

Let me guess,,, you support that idea. Go figure.

I don't know anybody on here cept thru these forums, as we all do, but thru these forums you can get a pretty fair idea on the person.

For instance; Im sure everybody on here after reading my post see me as a logical and reasonable thinker who's fun loving and witty and a damn good looking guy... and actually,, im quite embarrassed by it.

You are against Trump, that automatically makes you a leftist weirdo suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome. You America hating commie Bastid!!

 

[skinsdad62]

when you hold every liberal /socialist position it says what you are whether you admit it or not

Like I said. You clearly have no idea what my beliefs actually are.

Btw since you mentioned what people think of you...

I can tell you (speaking for me personally of course), that I don't think of you as a logical or rational thinker at all.

In fact I find you to be the exact opposite. Your posts scream somebody who comes to decisions and beliefs solely based on emotions and feelings. You have made it pretty clear already you have no interest in the truth unless it makes you feel better.

 

[ehb5]

I suppose if you held every liberal position you'd be a liberal yes and same goes for socialist positions and being a socialist.

But considering I hold relatively few liberal positions, exactly 0 socialist positions, and quite a handful of conservative positions...

Wouldn't you agree that Im a conservative?

WTF are you spewing now. Where do you get this stuff. You still harping on the 'hanging from nooses' remark made by Clinton? Dude,, let it go. I personally wouldn't put it past her with my logical mind knowing some of the other shit she has said in the past. The funny thing is you don't know that it's NOT true. It's posted as truth by a couple sources... whether it is or not I really don't have time to care about. If everyone only posted shit that they were privy too and in the room for when it was said and all went down than I guess we would have a blank politics forum... now wouldn't we. Carry on with your rhetoric.
