Interesting bits from The Review - Top Story
NorthoftheBorder replied to thetragichippy's topic in The Locker Room
I would say that it is much much more than facilities and school buildings. They now have pretty good facilities accross the board now. The coming together means lets do what it takes to greatly improve what happens in the classroom and the quality of education these kids get. Lets have the kind of focus and drive at the administration and teacher level to ensure kids actually learn!! And lets teach them the core subjects of Math, English (Reading and Writing) and the sciences that make a difference in innovation and job creation. And I am all for bilingual education. Teach english speaking kids spanish and spanish speaking kids english!! -
Not much different from the 80's 90's and 00's but I would say it is a lot worse than in our parent's and grandparents time. Several reason's one being the money involved in professional sports ( and by default college sports), another the general changes in society as a whole and also the increase in "worship" of the public of individuals who are athletically gifted and the special way they are treated from early youth into early adulthood!! Add to that the flourishing of the media and you have a real explosive situation.

I am no Klein fan either and he has a penchant for playing fast and loose with information (or the lack thereof). Lets all be honest, the BISD situation is full of high emotion and has created a division of thought into two camps. Now is not the time for hyperbole, name calling, stoking the fire and racial acromony!! This will play out over time, and the hope of all of us should be that the facts and the truth will come out. Those that are guilty of anything will be found guilty and appropriately punished. Those that are innocent will be found so and exonerated. No matter what side you are on, most likely you will be dissappointed somehow in the outcome. What we need ( and I have little faith we will accomplish) is to all come together and do what is right for the public education of our youth so we give them a fighting chance to be as successful as they are motivated to be by giving them a quality education that will allow them to compete globally!! -
The root problem in America is not Obama.
NorthoftheBorder replied to jv_coach's topic in The Locker Room
Yes. that is indeed the issue!! -
When are you guys going to tire of this very childish game that this poster plays every day! Her MO is "Offense is a good defense!! Since she doesn't have anything to rebutt Obama's devastating policies and their effects on the country, so she resorts to "so and so did this, and so and so did that and you supported them"! No amount of facts, logic, or sound reasoning is going to have any effect on her beliefs!!!

Bamakid, she just ignores any reasonalbe and intellegent response that does not fit her ideological positions and keeps on saying the same things over and over.

Was a certain thread removed from this board??
NorthoftheBorder replied to NorthoftheBorder's topic in Political Forum
the last thing I saw was his post. there must have been quite a few garbage posts after that which deteriated the conversation to the pointo deletion. -
There weren't tens of thousands of minors streaming accross the border unaccompanied by their parents during those 16 years. So, lets just clear the deck right now on all issues!!! Let's just say right now that George Bush was the worst president ever!! What now, with only 2 years remaining, will Barack Obama do to fix the economy, the border, and the ever growing multiple interational crisis that could throw the world into chaos. Remember, George Bush is not president and he can do nothing about any of these things anymore. Moreover, do not give the excuse that Republicans are preventing him from doing anything. GREAT LEADERS overcome obstacles and galvanize the support of their opponents to get the right things done!!! Now I will sit back and wait for the unsual morass of exuses and hyperbole!!!

Of course we have taken other D1 transfers who were involuntarily removed from their prospective schools with very little success. It's not that they are not talented, but that their heads are usually not screwed on straight so that they can stay focused on football and perform consistently at the level that their talent would allow them too. -
obama and International Religious Freedom...
NorthoftheBorder replied to smitty's topic in Political Forum
There is a very big and distinct difference in Judging a person as being "less than", unworthy or inferior so that you can feel "righteous" about mistreating them or worse; and observing their actions and making a judgement about their character and/or the decisions that they make and reacting appropriately. Anyone who is a parent has made judgements about the kids that their children are around and has had the very audacity to limit or prevent their child from hanging out with or at least limiting the exposure they have to that child. How dare you judge a person like that!! Only God knows their heart and the fact that they are trying to convince your child to do something that is completely against your values is just plain mean and hateful!! -
Calvin Walker indicted - Someone is NOT playing.....
NorthoftheBorder replied to thetragichippy's topic in The Locker Room
I hope that they are able to find the money trail! -
After Bamakid made a post, it seems that a certain thread has been completely removed.

I have personally banned myself from responding directly to a certain poster. Although, as always your response was spot on, I wish you would have asked her to provide proof of here statement as to intellectual superiority of the democratic voting base.

Big Girl- What do you think of this analogy?
NorthoftheBorder replied to stevenash's topic in Political Forum
Hippy, since I have banned myself from responding directly to a certain poster, you might give her the example of Dr. Ben Carson. I think she will find that response quite pleasing. -

NorthoftheBorder replied to stevenash's topic in Political Forum
Bingo!!! -
Steve, I wonder if your favorite poster on this board will GOOGLE it???? Seriously, this is just another example that most all of our citizens of every race and nationality can and would improve themselves if, like Dr. Ben Carson's mom did him, they were held accountable, not allowed to make excuses, and provided with the proper education that would allow them to succeed. Now, you can bet that our best friends who are really radical left schills will come on here with their radical garbage trying to dispute and demonize this program!!!
