Where is this?

I disagree with your first sentence but that is another topic. The military has had the authority to do this since 2001, as part of the measures passed after 9/11. The military did this during Vietnam, too, with temporary immigrants. The program was again expanded in a 2008 proposal to include temporary immigrants and what you're talking about has been part of that process for a while now. The military says they need this to fill the numbers needed since 80% plus of the enlistees don't have high school diplomas, and the military needs people who know and understand many languag

The same federal mandates that say education must be ran like a business and measure effectiveness by test scores. The same state government that cuts educational funds for these students who need the extra help and test taking preparation. I'm not condoning what they did, but this is why teachers sometimes cheat with the test scores. How would you like your job riding on how well a kid does on a test, knowing 90% of the kids pass the test if they only show up to school, but the other 10% struggle with test anxiety or just can't do the work? How many times have we all seen posts on here compla

Line Winston said, getting a certificate of need for a birthing center is political and expensive. There are too many other hospitals around that already do that and they would not sign off on allowing another one at Paulding. Can't blame Paulding Hospital for that because we tried and were shot down. The biggest problem is staffing. We are just not staffed with enough people because, like it or not, no one expected this many people when the plans first went into place and budgets are set years before, not a few months before. While it is easy to say there was poor planning by at the system

What does your real estate agent say? That's what you pay her for.

You mean one state. One. These are just standards. Standards. The way it is taught is curricula. Common Core doesn't set the curricula. That is done at the state and local level.

That's all Georgia needs. Let's not adopt the standards set up that nearly all states hold, putting our children at a disadvantage against other students when measuring course work. Common Core was a state-led effort to have a uniforms set of standards, and the Federal level had nothing to do with it. The Thomas Fordham Center evaluated the Common Core standards for over 15 years and determined them to be far better than the former standards in 37 states.

Common Core is a set of standards, not a curricula. How the standards are taught is up to each state and local district.

This is not "new math." I was taught this and it was called "grouping." My parents were taught this way in the 1970s.

I love these! I use these as a dinner once an easy meal. Rice, a salad, and dinner it good. My favorite is the Sloppy Joe, but the Pot Roast and the Italian Sausage are super. I tried the Seafood but didn't like it. They're not cheap but they are really good.

Or maybe the people that oppose gay marriage will be seen as the bigots in 10 years and Mozilla recognized how society now views that bigotry. They were responding to the customers. It is no different than if the guy had donated money to the KKK. The public relations nightmare would be the same.

Isn't that the way it is in America now? Two people decide to get married, they go to the courthouse, they get the license. They can finalize the contract there if they want. Or they can have a ceremony of whatever kind they want away from the courthouse. The only difference between what you're talking about and what there is now is that America allows the people to have whatever ceremony they want to finalize the deal.

Marriage has nothing to do with the religious promise. There are plenty of people who get married and are not religious at all. Believe it or not but atheists get married all the time. Marriage is not a religious term but a legal one. You really want two people to draw up a contract and have no standard law to protect either party? Or define how the children who come from that union to be treated? Or no laws that define benefits? You want two people to draw up a contract to cover all those things? You honestly believe your employer can keep up with the benefits each employee is supposed to

That is the most absurd statement ever. Government is involved, gives the license, and regulates marriage in order to outline legal protections for all parties. To do what you're proposing would mean churches would also dictate divorces. Think for once in your life! I'm saying that the John Birch Society's platform is exactly that of the Tea Party, void of the "opposed to integration" plank in the platform. There is no difference in the Birchers of old and the Tea Party of today except the racism has been (officially) removed. Then you need to read a history book.

No. That's not what I said. I said they are racists because they opposed integration and the Civil Rights Act, and all civil rights for blacks. No. He didn't build the company. He was over one part of it. That is like saying Dr. So-and-So built the new hospital because he is over cardiac care. Get real.

We've tried several companies in the past but we use Tim West at West Pest Control now. Can't beat the price. 678-427-9185

Birchers have always been crazy. And racists. They were the original Tea Partiers.

I'm gonna miss Letterman. I usually catch him every few weeks. I think Ferguson would be good. Maybe O'Brien if he can get out of his TBS contract.

Never been to Las Vegas but a lot of my girl friends have. Would like to but never had the chance or the money for that. Good for you! Have a great time!

The company owns him. The company has a contract with him. The company does whatever helps the company. If the company thinks it is bad for it to have an employee who supported discrimination, then that employee is gone, if that is what the contract said. I think it is pretty crappy but that is the way companies work when they are given power over their employees, even the top dog. The majority of Americans would have an unfavorable view of the company with him running it. Until the laws protect the employee, even the big guys and gals, this is what happens.

Lavender. Plant it all around. It helps keep scorpions away. I've got a planter on several windows and my husband always gripes about it but it does help keep them away. We also use an exterminator who sprays monthly.

Why anyone would give money to a religious group at all is beyond me and your comparing any group to Marxism is ridiculous. Marxism has checks and balances while religious groups have none. When the head Catholic in Atlanta buys a $2M home after taking a vow of poverty, and there are so many needs in the area, then, yes, there is a problem and no one should be giving to groups who just fleece their people. Joel Osteen is the same. Robert Schuller. Charles Stanley. Any TV evangelist. Give them money and they laugh all the way to the bank. Churches, mosques, synagogues. All the same. Helping pe

I thought Planned Parenthood was about all forms of contraception and women's health. Yes. Yes they are. Are you saying God made people a certain way and then condemns them for the way he made them? A lot of people don't believe being gay is a sin. Just like women who work for Hobby Lobby pay for their contraception coverage, right?

I don't believe the guy should have been fired but I understand why he was. He was fired because opposing gay marriage is opposing full liberty for all Americans. As the majority of Americans now believe in full equality, his supporting an effort to legally discriminate would eventually be an open sore and harm the reputation of the company by mere association. It would be like an avowed racist heading up a company, and the public relations nightmare that would fall. The company took the action and most likely had a clause in his contract that said he couldn't do something like that. I don't
