Why would the age of a person at the time they did something stupid dictate whether or not their apologies and promises to be better should be accepted?

Isn’t it at least worth mentioning that in the song, “I Might Need Security,” he announced that he has purchased the Chicagoist, an important local newspaper?

“Samuel L. Jackson made me say it,” would have been a pretty good excuse. Then again, I suspect Jackson (“It wasn’t a great question if you can’t say the word”), like many other African-Americans, would disagree with your assertion.

I know of many people who don’t have Facebook’s grubby fingers in a single aspect of their lives, let alone “every.” It is, after all, a voluntary relationship.

I think this is an interesting and informative counterpoint:

I certainly respect not knowing what to make of the situation. That’s a much more reasonable response than being certain of Allen’s guilt.

I think this perspective from Moses Farrow, who accuses Mia Farrow of physical and emotional abuse, is essential reading, especially for writers who often repeat the allegations against Allen, without mentioning the findings of the subsequent investigations into those allegations.

Prostitution is as normal as drug use. And neither fucks up and hurts people as much as putting people in jail.

He loved lots of musicians, he just kept it quiet.

If you rephrase that to, “I love everything Donald Glover does, except his music,” you might not feel as crazy.

There are lots and lots of professional comedians, touring stand-ups and comedy writers, who have the opposite opinion of Carvey’s talents and style. And I’m sure there are plenty who agree with you, too. It’s almost like taste is different than quality in the arts.

So, you’re opposed to baby-sitters?

I don’t disagree with you in terms of how important science is. My point is that you can’t force feed it to students and have them retain it. We’ve been doing it that way for 150 years and it’s never really worked. There are doctors and lawyers and engineers (and leaders in government) who believe in nonsense and…

Same to you, thanks!

I think you would have learned a foreign language if you really needed it, whether you were forced to or not, but I see your point. We don’t know when we’re going to need certain info, but it’s hard to know what it will be.

Okay, last one, since you’re apparently getting rather worked up.

1.) I never said schools were holding pens, but if you think that lots of students don’t consider schools to be holding pens, you haven’t talked to lots of students.

I’d argue that it’s impossible to dig through that “completely,” because there is no evidence, whatsoever, that there is one type of education which works for all, or even most, students. That’s the fundamental problem: our education system is inflexible and therefore, unable to provide most students with an effective…

Assuming that the “value” of education is wholly objective, my point stands: it doesn’t work. Conventional education doesn’t provide value for many, if not most, students; and this has been the case since it started in the 19th century. The methods of coercive, conventional education, in which students are segregated…

Sometimes “value” is objective, sometimes it’s not. Economic value? Outcome value? People can’t even agree on causation, let along value.
