....I never said anything about not needing good teachers....we need all the good teachers we can get.

Gun control doesn't do shit but safety courses and background checks do well

People make the CHOICE to smoke....and besides the tobacco industry has kept North Carolina from being a total waste of space: Duke University, Wake Forrest University, East Carolina University, NASCAR, and hell even Duke Power wouldn't be here without Tobacco....The Dukes, RJ Reynolds, and tobacco in general built this state and it's schools like DUKE and WAKE that have the fucking hospitals to treat the cancer that cigarettes cause.....so before you spout all about the ills of tobacco you have to realize that #1 it's built the state to where it is and #2 people make the CHOICE to smoke....and don't think I haven't had my fair share of family members die from cancer...but let's be real no one lives forever and if my family members didn't smoke they would have still died eventually.



"i doubt it ................... ...............if your saying that we dont boo at sports events

we dont give out participation trophys either
or other such bullshit"

Jesus Christ Kat, I didn't say YOU did any of those things that's what AMERICA'S liberals do....but I suppose it's pointless to try and explain that now.



And if I had already explained about Canada why did you have to draw all this out? Was it really needed? You could have just said "that's fine but I like the NHS system here in England and perhaps I could provide some information to back my views up"....but that's ok, I forgive you

I don't want everyone to live the American way either....I just gave my economic view of the way things are run there and I compared it to Ireland....they were doing well.....because they lowered taxes which invites more economic growth into the area.....it's not just an American thing...it's just a wise business move because since taxes are percentages of funds then the less you tax and the more people make means that at a certain point you get more money from not taxing as much....but that's complicated and you're mighty well pissed off so I'll leave that for another day.


Turn that frown upside down
