  2. Three kids died from the measles. The horror. How many died from drowning? Privately owned swimming pools should be banned….for the children.
  3. Perhaps Thailand could use this to their advantage. They could use an “agree and amplify” method and work it into their next tourism campaign. British vs Thai Holiday
  4. It seems like they hide how bad it really is by just using the “at grade level” description. Ok…so not at 12th grade level. So….which level? I’m sure they’re learning the metric system though. ”Yo dawg….you were a gram short on that last bag”
  5. They probably wouldn’t have been hired after getting the degree either…being straight, (assumably) white males.
  6. Radical is an understatement. 20 years ago, I started a Masters degree in education and dropped out after the first semester. In one class, we were told that we should force children to play with toys usually used by the opposite sex. Little Johnny was supposed to play with dolls and the kitchen toys and the little girls should be given a GI Joe doll and Tonka trucks. With regards to academics, this was around the start of the No Child Left Behind Act. I was able to see first hand how classes were being taught when we were taken to local high schools for “observation days”. The class was taught based upon whatever the dumbest kid in the room was able to understand. Nobody learned anything, and it was obvious how frustrated the (true) smart kids were. The average students didn’t care as they didn’t need to do anything and could just futz around with their friends. It’s no wonder that the Act was scrapped and left up to the states. And now….here we are.
  7. You’re so desperate to validate your choice to get vaccinated that it wreaks of cognitive dissonance. Just remember…. No do-overs.
  8. Don’t forget that Math was deemed “racist” just a few years ago. I’d like to see a demographic breakdown of who is failing math and reading. https://www.cbsnews.com/pittsburgh/news/pittsburgh-public-schools-change-math-instruction-more-equitable/ And they are employing “companies” like this to determine the politically correct way to indoctrinate kids today… https://www.quetzalec.com We are a Black and Brown womxn-led educational consulting firm with a national network of teachers, administrators, and community organizers. Through innovative content and approaches, Quetzal supports your antiracist goals to tangibly and impactfully disrupt oppression.
  9. Not legal in Clark County (Las Vegas)
  10. Exactly. It’s bestiality, right?
  11. And they hate you for that.…at least the ones who are still alive.
  12. It’s hilarious how all the mudbloods like to claim things such as “I worked in healthcare” (no details of course) and now….”I have had scientific training” derp
  13. Still plagiarizing from others I see….unless you’re Christopher D. Cook. You left out a few paragraphs I see. Ladies and gentleman…I give you the ethics and honesty of a leftist. https://www.commondreams.org/opinion/charlie-kirk-legacy
  14. India will be fine. The spice must flow. Besides, India doesn’t seem to have a problem taking back illegals so they’ll be fine. At least that’s what their minister of foreign affairs says. Of course, they want them transported humanely. Hopefully the UK can make their return flights more comfortable than the US seems to. “In his statement on Thursday, Jaishankar said all countries had an obligation to take back their nationals who had entered other countries illegally. They often faced dangerous journeys and inhumane working conditions once they had reached their destinations, he said.” https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cm27k2m91p7o What countries are refusing to take back their model citizens? They must be awful countries…or maybe the people that they don’t want returned are awful people? Sounds like some of the people could end up stateless. I hear there are lots of empty islands around. Maybe a few can be donated so that these (potentially) stateless people can finally have a country to call their own.
  15. Because you’re an extreme leftist. Baseless assumptions are what you do best.
  16. I just took a look at what a tube driver does. It looks pretty simple…and cushy….you even get your own cabin! It appears that they have a few dozen buttons (some even different colors!) a lever or two and a joystick…seems no more complicated than a Nintendo. I suppose that’s why the required education levels are so low. Looks pretty chill. Now let’s compare it to a Los Angeles bus driver. Looking online, I see they get about $27.50/hour to start. 32 hours would be part time. It would be about $46,000/year (£34,000) with a free bus pass for your dependents. And the working conditions? Well….here’s one of them… Exposure to physical and verbal abuse by clients/customers and/or general public https://www.governmentjobs.com/careers/lametro/jobs/5004531/bus-operator?pagetype=jobOpportunitiesJobs All that for $27.50 an hour to start. Which really isn’t that bad considering many people work for minimum wage, part time (2 jobs!), with no health insurance. Fast food workers in LA are well paid…starting at $20/hour. The bus drivers are getting 37.5% more. Between being a London tube driver and and LA metro bus driver, at equal pay….I’d take the tube job any day. Fast food in London appears to get £10-12 per hour. Add 37.5% and you have £13.75-16.50\hour. Heck….give them £20\hour to be generous. That’s £40,000/year to do a job any mouth breathing knuckle dragged can do….with no higher education (and the accompanying debt).
  17. Do UK government workers get to milk overtime too? It’s unbelievable what they can pull in in the US. And all those overtime hours count towards their bloated pensions.
  18. Can’t say who gave you the thumbs down but your OP sounds a bit like doctor shopping for amphetamines.
  19. Median is a good wage. Their salaries should be decreased and they should be happy they have a job. Better yet….fire them all.
  20. The tube drivers already make 50% more than the London median salary and double the UK median salary. Government workers….especially those with simple jobs that require no education beyond passing their GCSEs with a 4/9 score….don’t deserve the salary they already receive.
