It seems to me that the zero tolerance policy of the school exists because of the government's war on drugs. Why else would they have such a policy? "I priced every non-church private school around here 3 years ago when my little girl started kindergarten and the cheapest one was $9800+ a year." Then you must live in Manhatan or some similar place with an insane cost of living. For example, the average tuition for elementary private schools in Arizona is about $2,700.

I assumed the ban on Advil is due to a zero tolerance on drugs. Is this incorrect? "If this had been about a conservative school board banning Harry Potter from the library, I wonder if Abe's response would have been different?" Well, I don't know about you BakerStreet, but I don't consider Advil and Harry Potter to be the same thing. So, umm...yeah, my reaction would of course be different. " The law says I have to send my kid to school..." False. "

"Meanwhile, over at Right Wing News, there's an article about how a student got expelled for having Advil in her purse. Advil. Part of their zero-tolerance policy. If there was a better example of why public schools need competition from the private sector this is it." It's funny how one's view of things determines what "things" mean. When you read it, it showed the need for school vouchers. When I read it, it showed the failure of the "war on drugs".

"Am I just blaming them instead of looking inside of myself?" Yes, you are. "But, when I discovered just how much porn Jeff had I started to change my mind. He had well over 10,000 files on his computer, videos, and burned cds in a drawer. Is that normal?" Ask yourself this question. If he had 10,000 postage stamps, would you feel the same way? "How can I know all this and more and still want to be with him?" So you don't have a problem with porn, bu

"If it weren't for this trust issue, our relationship would be so healthy." Read that sentence again. Then think about it and read it again. Keep reading what you wrote until it sinks in.

Dish internet service is still in its infancy. I think it's too early to say whether or not it will survive. Dish cable tv is doing very well, so it is not unrealistic to think that given a few more years, dish internet service will prosper.

There are definitely too many incompetent elderly people on the road. It's really kinda mind boggling when you think about it. They cause so many accidents, yet not a single state has any laws to address the matter. At age 65 there should be mandatory testing every few years to verify that you are still competent enough to drive.

I am glad you enjoyed it toxic, but it is not mine. In the fine print at the bottom it says that is was copied from another forum which I cannot link to. The person who posted it there also copied it from somewhere else. I don't know who the author is.

" People don't have to graduate high school because they could lie about graduating high school." I know you mean that as sarcasm, but it's actually true. Of course another reason people don't need to graduate from HS is that a HS diploma has no value.

From CNN.com, "Last Friday, a new security-cracking program called QTFairUse was posted -- along with the message "So sue me" -- on a Web site for which Johansen is listed as the registrant, or owner." Bahahahaa! He has a plucky sense of humor too, I would definitely hire him. ;)

"Now my brain is fried from trying to catch up. It's a Wednesday that feels like a Monday....that just can't be good...." I have the perfect cure for that, down an entire bottle of cough syrup. (If you happen to actually decide to do this *please* make sure that the only active ingredient is dextromethorphan hydrobromide).
