Jmog gets to label everyone on this board moderate but ptown.

I literally said Ptown, Gee, QO, maybe 1 or 2 more are about the only ones that aren't somewhat moderate. Yes there are some wiggle room both ways of moderate here but most of the board is moderate.


Think about actual voting backgrounds as most of us has came out and stated who/what we vote for.

The fact that 90 percent of the traffic on this site is bashing dems/left should really settle the discussion.

Look 4 years ago and 90 percent was bashing Trump/Rs. Its more about bashing the current people in power as most of us hate both sides. Logical thinking would help.

that poll does not out weigh the 10 years of posts I have read. Correct. Im not saying its crazy far right, but its definitly  a right leaning echo chamber.  Posts that dont agree are often met with anger and name calling.  You would certainly have to agree that democrats are held to a higher standard and called out more often than the republican party if you were being honest.

No way you think QO isn’t given just as much shit as say Ptown.

i didnt say it was skewed any direction, just saying its not accurate. 10 poorly worded questions by definition isnt enough data.  I will take 10 years of reading posts.  Also it was 14 replies, some by the same people so it isnt even half the board who took it

So most people that took it came out centrist, the poorly worded questions means they are really far right echo chamber?


I hope you are joking

literally all 14 people including you who took that quiz said it was horribly worded and didnt really reflect their opinions or of the 10 questions several didnt make sense, but go off king!

Poorly worded questions doesn't mean everything was skewed to the left. Meaning the so called "far right echo chamber" wouldn't all be centrist in the questions. Simple logic that betrays you constantly.


I swear you shouldn't be allowed to teach any human anything other than maybe dodgeball.

It’s subjective for me - true.  But your opinion is exactly the same - subjective.  People taking online political quizzes does not change that.  I think this place leans pretty far right.  That’s my bias just like your bias that it’s some sort of centrist Eden.  


The problem is that the only objective evidence we have, the online quizzes, sides with my viewpoint and not yours.


You may say "well people will lie to get the right answers they want to portray", nearly everyone? That goes against Occam's Razor.


Yes, its still my opinion, but at least my opinion is backed up by objective evidence, your's is just your opinion.

1 cat and a few squirrels. Felt bad every time. Been lucky enough to never hit a dog (came close a few times) as that would probably crush me.


Was a passenger when the driver got hit by a deer. Deer ran out and ran into the side of our rental car then ran back into the brush.

Yes, it is the way I perceive this forum. 


Unfortunately for your belief, most people on this board have taken and posted results of political ideology surveys and most, other than like 2, have come out right near dead center with a little left or right of center.


So no, not a right wing echo chamber….

It’s just the way it is - not good or bad.


It’s the way your bias opinion believes it to be, that doesn’t make it true.

Well, Trump and Musk came out against it and now it is dead. Johnson had a deal to increase farm aid for R states as well as more natural disaster aid. Because of that, Democrats added items to help their folks and to help clear the D Senate.

That was too much for them apparently..so shutdown is possible in 2 days...

Trump also wants a debt ceiling increase now, instead of March when it is due, because he wants it under Biden not him. 

It's funny, it's like they don't acknowledge for this they need Democrats from the Senate and the Democrats are not going to agree to just a straight Republican bill from the House.

Next year is going to be so much fun in Congress! What a shitshow

Last CR was like 85 pages, this one is 1500+ pages….Rs suck

This site is a right wing echo chamber.  Having an occasional post being critical of something Trump did doesn’t change that.


Ok Gee…

I’m not sure what this is about I’m just a simple teacher lol what are we talking about here? I know I have reading comprehension skills. I’m glad at least one woman is here. Every non gop has been run out of this site as well. I try to limit my posts. I wanted to post about trump saying prices will still say high and maybe you shouldn’t buy in the stock market cause it would crash and other lies he told this week but I’m trying to limit my posts going forward 


Every non-gop? Good lord….


This site has like 10 people posting. 2 leftists, about 2 righties maybe, and 5-6 middle of the roaders.


Other than QO and maybe BR(?) I can’t think of any straight line GOP’er on this board.

We obviously have a hopelessly broken system.  Say what you want about Obamacare, but it was an attempt at addressing this.  It’s not presented a significant change, but it’s more than any other politician has successfully done.  Outside of national security, this is our number one problem in my book.  Cliches about us “having the finest healthcare system in the world” ring more and more hollow every year.


This doesn’t justify a murder, that isn’t my stance at all.  I think health insurers are a huge part of the problem, but not the only part.

To be fair Obamacare did nothing but make it worse and the insurance companies more $$.

Matt Gaetz to be on OAN news. I'm not familiar with this network. 

Why do we have to have all these former govt officials on these networks? 

imo, that just flat out corrupts the "news".

OAN is the right’s version of MSNBC.

Meanwhile if the right or Trump said this they’d be labeled facists or Nazis.

Differential equations.  Most of my math classes were way harder than business, and Real Analysis told me "you're done in math", but DE was a joke.


I do agree that DifEQ was the easiest of the 2 year calculus series (Calc 1/2/3 then DifEQ).


Yes you needed calculus first but it was far easier at the time of taking it than the 3 calculus classes.


Partial differential equations, advanced calculus, and real analysis however are a different ballgame.

Well then clearly we need to stop hiring shitty teachers.  Or just stop grossly overpaying babysitters.

JMOG wasn't wrong.  I had a 300-level math class with a bunch of education majors who struggled to even pass.  I did all my homework during class, and aced every exam.  One of the easiest classes I had.

Just curious what class?



I had an education major, in “intro to logic” tell me it was her hardest class she had ever taken. 


It was by far my easiest I took in 4 years.

I still ain't buying the educator schtick. No way would any school system would hire somebody who can't follow a conversation, no reading comprehension, no grasp of the rules of carrying out a principle in a comparison and doesn't understand the basic English concepts of first/third person. 

Sorry.

Idk, there’s a reason so many college kids drop down from harder majors to education. Unless one is teaching something difficult in HS (physics, chemistry, math, etc) their education degree is now a joke to get through compared to others.


Every engineer I know that dropped out of engineering when I was in school either went to straight “business” major or education.


Edit: I am not saying there are no smart/genius teachers. Plenty of people are genuinely smart and choose that career because it’s their passion. I am saying the bottom floor it takes to get a degree is one of the easier degrees to get in college now.

Oh, yeah, because you are not on the harder level.  


What’s the harder level?
