    tvc184 reacted to BS Wildcats in It’s kinda weird…   
    All you have to do is look around at all the Israeli protests going on now, and realize that America is headed down the wrong path.  It’s a sad day when America hating Muslims are voted into public office, see Rashida Talib.    But you are right, let’s worry about what Trump did before he was in office, and just sweep under the rug what is really important.  This trial is nothing more than election interference to keep Trump from being on the campaign trail.  TDS is alive and well!

    Tax groceries at the grocery store and do away with property taxes, see Louisiana.  Property taxes are a way to get screwed by the government.

    Your analogies are always dumb at best, but we’re used to that. Everyone tries to get out of paying if possible. I do it so that maybe they can up yours.

    Glad to see some of this happening.  I'm sick of the anti-american  and anti-Israel nonsense that's been allowed at some of the most prestigious colleges our country has to offer.  In this case Columbia has had 108 student protestors arrested and trespassed, with Barnard college then suspending them from class and housing.  This younger generation thinks they can do whatever they want.  I'm glad the tides are starting to turn and these kids are starting to get a lesson in what happens when you act like entitled idiots.  
    I know that I'm not as conservative as some of you guys on here, but for the life of me I can't figure out why there are so many thousands of anti-american foreigners up in the northeast.  For me, the very first time you get caught participating in one of these protests, especially if you're burning flags, holding a sign criticizing america, etc., you're deported if you don't have citizenship.  If you have a visa, it's revoked.  If you weren't born here, you're sent to where you were born and not allowed back.  I have no issue with diversity, but why on earth do we allow people to come here who hate us?  Send them back.

    tvc184 got a reaction from thetragichippy in US Supreme Court case from southeast Texas   
    A Winnie land owner (and others) sued the State of Texas after they built IH-10 a few feet higher in order to help contain storm flooding. Sure enough a hurricane hit and flooded the land. The storm improvements worked!!

    Unfortunately the state sacrificed several people’s properties in using the interstate highway as a dam. 

    Richard DeVillier tried to sue Texas under our laws and Constitution and the US Constitution under the Fifth Amendment “taking clause” (eminent domain).

    After a favorable ruling in the federal district court on the right to sue Texas directly, the Fifth Circuit Court in New Orleans overturned that ruling and said that the DeVlier had no authority to sue Texas directly. 

    On Tuesday a unanimous US Supreme Court ruled that DeVillier and others had the right to sue Texas directly under Texas law and under the Fifth Amendment of the US Constitution. The case is now sent back down to the lower court.

    DeVillier and others have not won their lawsuits as the case has not been decided on its merits at a trial. He still has to go to prove his case.

    What they did win was a unanimous Supreme Court agreeing that he has the right to bring Texas to trial for taking his property with just compensation.

    Surely we don’t know what will happen but the article implies that the investigation is based on criminal negligence and doesn’t even hint at terrorism.

    He was probably there for a parent-teacher conference (maybe the only time the teacher was available) and brought his kids to get their side of the issues.

    tvc184 got a reaction from Reagan in Alan Dershowitz Cites “Overwhelming” Evidence Against Fanny Willis!   
    Dershowitz is a liberal Democrat and I listen to some of his podcasts on youtube. He doesn’t even hide his beliefs but then discusses what he believes the law says and means.
    It was maybe a couple of months ago when he was discussing a Second Amendment case in front of the Supreme Court or being considered by them for review. His statement was that had he been a Founding Father, he would have voted against the Second Amendment however he believed that as it was passed and intended to mean, it was clear that the amendment was meant to allow individuals to right to possess weapons and carry them.
    That was just an example, where he might not like the law or a particular part of the Constitution, but will state his belief that, even though he does not like it, it is what it was intended to be. 
    I don’t think that Dershowitz would ever vote for Trump but he knows a scam when he sees it.

    CB’s response to a common analogy:
    ”That’s like comparing apples and oranges”
    CB: Well, it’s not a good analogy. Oranges are a citrus fruit and apples or not so their texture is nothing alike. Many people like eating an apple peel, but virtually no one eats an orange peel as they’re bitter and nasty although some people might use the zest for flavoring. What is really telling is that apple seeds are dark whereas orange seeds are virtually white. Furthermore, apples can be red, green, yellow, and maybe other colors but oranges are orange, hence the name of the color.

    Obviously, you are entitled to your opinion on teacher salaries. 
    They are essentially contract/salaried workers. They ask for a fee to educate children. That fee is not dependent on hours or days.
    Let’s say you contract a cabinet builder to refurbish your kitchen. He gives you a price, tells you that he will be finished in 10 days and you accept it for $20,000. The contractor finishes in only 7 days. Do you pay him only $14,000 or 70% if the agreed on price because he was able to complete the job in less time?

    but this could have been way way worse situation…. Thank goodness it wasn’t. Parent attacking a kid. Straight clown behavior…. Wrong kid/ family getting attacked could have resulted in a shooting/stabbing or whatever. People today seem to be more trigger happy imo.

    Wrong!!
    Location doesn’t matter. 
    Take Mid and South County for example. In the last 5 years, PA has averaged 14.5 murders per 100,000 people. The 3 Mid-County cities with almost the same population as PA (56k-pa  v. 50k-mc) has 2.5 murders per 100,000 people. Adjusted for the slight population difference, it is 2.75.
    So cities literally across the street from PA have  the same murder rate of about 3 per 100k people in MC to about 15 in PA. 
    Oh wait…….
