One World Government (1 Viewer)

[Frothingslosh]

Admitting that I did not read the links - but is this about the common core curriculum or about a single World Government?
I realize that threads can migrate from one topic to the next - but I just want to know what we're talking about.
I haven't been in elementary school since before JFK was President - so I don't have much to add about common core - but I will say that every time someone complains about it and gives an example (such as using the concept of the number line to learn addition and subtraction) it seems like a very good and intuitive approach and far better than the "cookbook" method that we were taught.

If we're talking World Government, then I'm all for it, as long as:
It's a constitutional republic, with elected representatives;
We can keep all the basic freedoms we're used to in the US;
American English is the national language (too late for me to learn any other);
Eastern Standard Time is how we set our clocks (too late for me to change my circadian rhythms);
The US $ is the national currency (too late for me to figure out the value of a Euro or a Pound);
SI units would be okay but I really prefer Imperial units because I'm used to them;
And the Hot Dog is the national snack food (I guess Tacos or Falafel would be okay too).
So I'm all for it as long as I don't have to change anything.

Welp, that's it. As far as some of our members are concerned, you've outed yourself as part of the Liberal Conspiracy To Destroy America (tm).

Welcome to the organization. An email with instructions on the Secret Handshake (c 1776 - The Illuminati) will be forthcoming.

Oh, and Blade? The 'Evil Overlord' thing in my avatar section? That's there because you so have so consistantly painted me as Evil and out to destroy both the USA and All That Is Good And Right. Basically, it's me mocking you with every post on this board.

No, you tried to portray NCLB as a Democratic creation by indicating Teddy Kennedy as the sole author of the program. Also, I don't get why you emphasized that it was George W Bush, as I specifically said Bush II, which anyone reading this would know as 'the second Bush president'. It's far from the first time I've referred to him as such.

"Regarding No Child Left Behind, you really should do your research. It was proposed by Bush II and co-authored by John Boehner (R), George Miller (D), Teddy Kennedy (D), and and Judd Gregg (R). Trying to push it off as the Democrats' fault is, to be frank, lying. It was a bipartisan effort including one member of each party from each house of the legislature.

, "Yes, I knew it was George W. Bush and Teddy Kennedy which happens to make it bipartisan. Which means it was a very bad policy from the get-go. Since these were the main players, I did not bother to put forth anyone else. Figured if you read about it , you yourself would find out the facts. "

Hmmmmmmmmm guess I was right here ("Figured if you read about it , you yourself would find out the facts."). NO!!!!!!!!!!

******************************

Twisting facts and outright lying is YOUR approach to discussion, not mine. Which explains how you suddenly, only a handful of posts after my points about needing to take outliers into account, suddenly talk about me wanting to hold everyone to the same standard regardless of ability.

, "Well alright then! Lets see, standards for everybody, one size fits all. "

You was talking about the standards that were available that he did not mention. I did not say or imply that you said anything else.
************************

Just like after my posts over in the gun control thread about NOT wanting to take folks' guns away, you started raging about how disgusting it was that I wanted to disarm everyone. Reading comprehension really does not appear to be your strength.

There you go again. talk about tangents! This was a good one lol????????????
*****************************

Now, I simply said that the one thing you mentioned that guy saying was demonstrably wrong, and that that wasn't a good sign. You twisted that to accuse me of not bothering to look into the issue when I stated plainly (in the misguided hopes that you would comprehend it) that I cannot watch your YouTube video while I'm at work.

"The fact that he's claiming that there are no standards when they're freely available to anyone who wants a copy doesn't bode well for his trustworthiness."

Yes, you said that he is untrustworthy because he stated the there were no standards yet, there are standards posted. Does it not seem odd to you that a person of his statue would out and out lie on a video of something that could be looked up so quickly and debunked? Yet you just assumed he was untrustworthy and in the next quote, you tell me he is lying. Make up your mind? Please
***********************************

Edit: I do find it interesting that you laughed off my references to the Bible as a book of fables and an oral tradition of bronze age tribesmen, but got pissed when I pointed out that your guy lied and said it didn't give me high hopes of his presentation. If anything, I figured the reverse would be true.

Weeeeeellllll, guess we know what your opinion is. I guess a thanks is in order?

Have a good evening

Why, I would not think that a good liberal would want anything else than to change the very fabric of our nation as Obama has sworn to do. I realize in your eyes it would make the nation better to be of ONE. Here we will have to pick up the instruments of preserving our vastly different opinions and do battle. The nation will become stronger and I hope a little better off. Compromise always brings that along with it.!

Funny how you manage to always get everything wrong.

Please provide documentation of Obama stating he wants to 'change the fabric of our nation'. PROOF, not 'Alex Jones screamed this on infowars'. Also, because you have difficulty with the concept of truth, please be advised that I expect your link to say what you say it doees, not the exact opposite like so many you have provided.

Conservatives and other luddites are the ones who insist on turning the nation into a nation of one. Liberals are all about accepting that people are different and that that's okay, while Conservatives are all "This is 'murrica, folks gotta lurn ta talk English and only them as believes in Jesus and ain't dirty brownskins is allowed!".

Compromise? That's laughable, coming from you. That's the one thing you and yours absolutely refuse to do.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KrefKCaV8m4 Does not Fundamentally mean the very fabric. If you have socialism, then you do not have the freedoms we do now. I believe that is tearing at the very fabric of our constitution Or am I dreaming.

of course last night, he pitted the Christians against the Islamist by saying we were just a terrible as they are? Is that what kinda of a person you really want for a president?
