I never spoke in class like I do here - not as much anyway because it was hard not to say anything. The teacher had even said that there had been fights before in his class and chair throwing, etc., Lord help us.
Thanks for helping me make my point!
Education should be, and usually is about discourse. Most people who cry about classes being one-sided are just too scared to speak up and defend their own point of view.
Having and expressing different ideas is great. engaging in the dialectic process in order to find a "more truthy" truth is even better. That's what most teachers want to do (in my experience).
Getting my A is more important than trying to prove my point of view to a teacher and a class of kids who I will never see again. My grade will always be with me. And what was your point that I proved again?
Umm.. you said that you did speak up in class (a little bit), but you still got an A.
So, expressing yourself didn't hurt you.
I mean, not speaking out like you do here is a good thing--because most of the time you sound like a crazy person when you post here!
...but that's what message boards are for.
I think he gave me an A because of my great looks and stellar personality!
Then by all means, please post a pic of yourself!

Here is an interesting Kansas political tidbit to discuss. The previous four governors of Kansas (two Republican, two Democrat) have united against the current one's policies:
http://ksn.com/2016/06/24/former-kansas ... upporters/
"A letter signed Friday by Republicans Bill Graves and Mike Hayden and Democrats Kathleen Sebelius and John Carlin calls the upcoming elections the most important in Kansas history.
The letter says Kansans are starting to acknowledge that many of the wrong people are serving in state office, but adds that too many residents don’t understand the issues and will be vulnerable to misleading political campaigns."

I posted it a long time ago in the picture thread - so you will all just have to go searching if it is that important. But we already know what a dazzling personality I have!

the people who are pushing for these punitive bills deem these things as a FEATURE and not a bug. their goal seems to be punishment of the square pegs who will not remodel themselves into the circle of conformity. if some trans-person gets f-ed up by some bigoted thug, not a problem for these righties. they are trying to force trans people to not be trans people, trying to force gays to become straight. it won't work. the righties are just making bad karma for themselves, is all.

In fact, I suspect a lot of righties want trans people to suffer physical abuse and death.

Are we back on this crap again? Why don't you worry about your own state and stay out of Kansas business. Like I said, SECESSION would take care of all of this then I wouldn't have to listen to you two biatchin like a couple of old women. ![]()
