VABills Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 see.....SEE?!?!? This is the kind of shite I'm talking about (Even though VA was being facetious)... Claims of racism today are muddied by a lot of reading between the lines... 344522[/snapback] Oh sure you go making racial comment about a bunch of Mexicans and you want to blame me for your stupidity. I am not going down with you bro. You dug your own grave. In your case on hear Fox and Jesse have mended their differences and will be joining up in the multi-million dollar lawsuit against you.

jad1 Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 It is an education paid for BY the people of the district FOR the people of that district. If you want the benefits of living in that district, LIVE IN THAT DISTRICT. Seems pretty simple to me. No need for a wall. Live in the district and you get the benefits of the district. If you don't live in the district and want the benefits of my district, move into my district. 344325[/snapback] People of the district, hmm, so kids in Amherst recieve an Amherst Regents diploma? I always thought they received a New York State Regents diploma. I know I did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crap Throwing Monkey Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 Are people still discriminated against based on race? I believe they are, though probably not to the extent that a Jesse Jackson would have us believe.344516[/snapback] Clearly, you forgot this post from your previous and now banned screen name. Highly ironic that someone who openly espoused Nazi racial theory is now expressing amazement that racial discrimination might still exist...

jad1 Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 Almost as moronic as making a comment like "so put up some real money and dump your kids in private school, where they can learn racism the old fashioned way" RICH PEOPLE BAD!!! 344403[/snapback] Actually, I wrote this in response to the original author wanting to keeps his kids insulated from "inner city kids." He was willing to pay more tax money to do so, so my question to him was, why not go all the way? I own a home, work hard, and while I'm not wealthy, my household income is well into six figures. And I support inner city kids attending suburban schools. So rich people aren't bad. The pursuit of wealth isn't bad. Owning a nice house (like the one I own) isn't bad. Denying a talented kid an education because their mom and dad can't afford to buy into a community with a good public school. That's bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For you to confuse opposition to interracial marriage with Nazi racial theory is shockingly stupid even by the standards of your recent posts. Many or most of the American soldiers who fought and died in WWII also opposed intermarriage. Do you hate those soldiers as much as you hate Kurt? Your mind has clearly been filled with hate to the point where you are no longer capable of discussing certain issues with any form of rationality. I pity you.

That's bad. 344555[/snapback] Nice try, here's my post: Sorry, I'm not buying that blather. If I've made enough money to live in a good school district, I don't want MY tax dollars paying for kids from the inner city to attend that school. If their parents want to foot the bill for their kids to attend my district's schools, then so be it. But not my tax dollars. I clearly state that if those parents want to foot the exact same bill I do so that their kid can attend a school in my district then I don't really care if they attend the school. My issue is that these kids (and their parents) should not be given a free ride. The services the school provides to people living in the district are paid for by the taxpayers of that district. To allow kids who don't live within the district to enjoy the benefits of the schools without their parents helping to pay for those benefits is patently unfair.

Fake-Fat Sunny Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 I just got back to this thread after posting a response late last night (early this morning) after doing some conference call business at an off-hour due to a timezone shift. Wow, it triggered a number of posts I found quite interesting before some moderator made the judgment to exile it to the politics board which I rarely visit (I support this decision being made by the moderators for their reasons even if I disagree with them in some cases because they have done a good job of keeping the board semi-focused on the Bills). I just wanted to add a note to say thanks to the posters for any interesting back and forth on this issue. I'm still in the same place of wanting a society where individuals are judged by merit and their individual character rather than issues which do not measure the level of their character like the color of their skin, their hair, their height or whatever. My comments were simply that I find it troubling that items such as quality of schools, housing, etc which in my mind can be variable but should be variable based on factors like the quality of one's character, drive, intellellect etc, seemed to still be determined by non-character determinants like the color of ones skin. I do not perceive any maliciousness on the part of those who identified this girl as a black girl. What strikes me as troubling is that there seems to be such segregation in this particular school (amd unfortunately in a lot of US society) that it was such a notable thing that she was Black that this could be a definite identifier. If they had merely identified her as the Brunette Girl, would folks have known pretty clearly whicj individual they were talking about? If they had identified her as the short girl would this have been a distinct idenifier? This school seems to be so segregated that racial identifiers are significant. To the extent that school quality relates strongly to location quality the fact the identifier is relevant is the thing troubling to me. Interesting and thanks. Adios and see you on TSW.

An intelligent kid should be given every opportunity to the best education possible, and not held back by their parents' pocketbook. And, by the way, you didn't say "kids from other districts" you said "kids from the inner city." There's a completely different connotation between the two.

Along with my Puerto-Rican wife of 21 years, I committed "marital genocide!" I suppose that my 3 daughters are the ugly bi-product. It is of little surprise to see you hurling insults at Jews in other posts. I hope that you get help, find out what is wrong, and are spared from living a life that is governed by hatred and idiocy.

Campy Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 That's New York. Here in PA, you get a diploma from your district high school. Next? 344544[/snapback] Based upon my experience, I thought everyone in NYS who graduated received a district diploma, and everyone who graduated Regents received two - the district and the Regents. Is that not the case? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the US convicted and executed most people who thought that way in 1946-1948. 344563[/snapback] You're not bothered by the Orwellian implications of thought police and thought-based executions? Actually, had the U.S. executed everyone who opposed interracial marriage in the period you mention, it would have wiped out a significant percentage of its population, including many minorities. Which would have made it the Soviet Union of the West. It's funny how thought police and mass murder go hand in hand, isn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
