The point was that it hasn’t always been like that, and much of its current condition is due to English Colonial interference. over the last few hundred years.

Banker, huh?

I don’t disagree at all. It’s a failing of most history schooling that you teach those events that had the most impact on the local area, and less and less as that impact decreases.

Good to know you’ve been through all the history programs in all the school districts in Texas. They’re all up to snuff, thanks.

Well, when I went through the public school system in America, we covered English history pretty well. The French Revolution was certainly covered, especially those aspects of it that affected early US history, but not in the detail that we gave to English history.

I would offer that the differences stem from which…

I can only report what has been told to me. She is a product of schools in Texas from the ‘80s into the ‘90s, and there are many, MANY things that I would have taken as granted that they would be covered, seemingly weren’t.

My girlfriend went to school in Texas. The sheer number of important historical happenings that occurred outside of Texas that weren’t covered is staggering.

I’m on Sprint, and have been for years (since approximately 1998). Service is reasonable, customer service has always been terrible, but used phones are typically cheaper (at least in the smart phone category) due to the fact that you were more or less locked into Sprint with that phone thanks to CDMA.

I would like to co-sign this as “All rational adults.”

The cherry on top was walking back out after I locked my shit down and the woman’s husband was standing sheepishly at the hostess stand. He handed me a $50 bill and shook his head, saying, “I’m so sorry.”

This just makes me physically ill. I’m literally regretting eating that cherry danish for breakfast now. This is absolutely horrible and awful.

Trust me, policies on women’s health issues would be FAR different if a man ever had to push a baby out of his dick hole.

No one would believe the insanity that goes on in food service. It would fail for being too unbelievable. And that would be coming from kids who believed a furry blue and purple monster, and a talking eyeball.

There is a finite amount of crazy.

If you can’t make someone miserable, what’s the point?
