Have some lunatic fringe elements taken over the humanities?

Mehhhhhhhh....... maybe I shouldn't be so hasty about that oceanic gap.

Just saw this now about a fired teacher in Florida.

"Florida teacher fired for giving zeros to students who didn't turn in their work"


Hmmm.... I hadn't yet voted on the poll about humanity going mad.... but I may have to rethink that.

[Fatboxingfan]

these thread itself is the indication that the humanity is at a break point. Man and woman have been borned, nobody ever saw another gender, but man and woman. There is no 3rd type of creature. let's alone 100 MORE types!

The mad thing is that following that interview the multi gender fascists set up a poll urging Morgan to be fired. Apparently a lot of people agreed and thus the weird chap was brought back for another bashing. Horrible slimy little oik with a penchant for talking nonsense. Could be one of the new genders but I wouldn't know.

Round 2:

I honestly can't watch another 15 minutes of this. But if Piers gets fired over this, the whole TV station should just implode. It would be useless.

He won't lose his job. He has built up support since his anti wokeness has hit the mainstream. I didn't like him before on CNN but he is somewhat fine these days. Seems to speak common sense in the face of brainwashed loonies who have built up debt in order to study utter nonsense. It is one reason councils are so terrible. Too many sociologists who cannot find employment in the real world. No way am I ever going to pay 30 pounds a week in council tax.

A bit of a side track, but who on earth thought council tax was a good idea? 1600 pounds a year for living in a house unless you are a scrounger. It is quite a bit of money considering the state of British roads and services.

Apparently it was about 500 pounds 20 years ago and has somehow tripled in that time (wages haven't) and if you do not pay they criminalize you. Just horrible really. I pay a local tax of about 6 pounds twice a year. My complex has a maintenance fee but very cheap and is used to clean buildings or to clear the snow or redo the playground. I would never pay 30 pounds a week for things I have no say in.

Council tax is a regressive and unfair tax much akin to VAT too which is double what I pay also. Where is all that money going? Well, I have a good idea, but councils are kind of gross.

It wasn't so long ago we did not pay tax and it was only brought in as a temporary measure. Now look at it.
