    Nothing new has been presented here. None of you are changing your mind. Enough money is out there from oil and gas, etc to prop up BS "think tanks" to pump out inaccurate information that politicians and political entities can point to and keep their base in line, allowing them to line their pockets. 

    The science is clear. The consensus is clear. 

    It doesn't matter how many geologists that used to work at Shell signed some petition. 

    May be an image of 1 person and text that says 'Sometimes I Just Don't Like People appalachion memes They Make Me Wanna Say Bad Words igiiip. . cam'

    Mr. Ghoolie, I can't make a reply about dutch because I'm often reminded over in the political side how vile we are over there and how nice and clean this forum is, lol.

    But I'd like to share some thoughts on the stadium with you.

    I always believed the same, I love football out in the elements and also grew up in Youngstown. A block away from Mill Creek Park. We played football year round and playing in the snow or rain have been some of the best games I remember. Once, my neighborhood football friends played a game against South Highs actual football team and crushed them. It was snowing and I remember a huge tackle I made on a kid into the sidewalk, that started a little brawl itself. We would have 3 vs 3 games in the back fields down a narrow strip of grass and my one friend that's about 8 years older came barreling at me as I was running with the ball and sent me 5 yards through the air into the fields lol. Lot's of snow so nothing hurt but we had a good laugh about that one, they were like having older brothers.

    I just wonder if the Browns put themselves in a disadvantage without a dome. If all stadiums were open then hell yeah, but most teams are going dome, play and practice in them all year giving them some type of consistency we won't really have. Not to mention the risk of injury our players may face due to bad weather. I'd like to see us win a super bowl, you think there any reasonable advantages for the team going dome or staying open? Plus Watson would seem more like a dome qb if he's sticking around for a bit.

    I'm not familiar with Brookpark but I know for as much as I hate the Steelers, I love going to downtown Pittsburgh and love the stadiums being right in the middle of everything.

    Brookpark Ford Plant is right next to Cleveland Hopkins Intl Airport.  Right across the street from Cleveland.

    You know he signed the checks, right? 

    You know there is a recording of him approving the payment to McDougal, right?

    I guess not. If you nut jobs actual paid attention to the facts of the cases, you couldn't just say it's a "farce". Ignorant is bliss in MAGA world.

    MAGA the stupidest cult in modern history.

     

    Not one crime has been shown the whole  'trial'.  Not one.  Sorry sweet pea.

    True enough. Then again I would bet that every person on this board with a month or two of training to teach just about every high school subject. Conversely I'd be surprised if there were more than one or two members that could do my job in a couple of months.

    Here's Woody to prove you wrong:

    While we're on the topic of education. This is going viral right now. Got sent to a member of Congress by a cadet. This is from West Point.

    Yes, and here I thought the purpose of the military (of which I spent 1/3 of my life) was to defeat the enemy.

    I'd argue that many of the people going all the way through the American education system have exactly the same deficits. Case in point is one of the protest leaders at Columbia begging the university to feed them. Here's her graduate student profile. 🤡

    Agree with you on the slavery and teachers having higher pay topics. I think you're downplaying the drag nonsense. A colleague of mine pulled his kids out of Hawken School because they were having drag story hour events. You are conflating anti-education with anti-indoctrination. No one here, not even cal, would want their kids to be uneducated. But I'm pretty sure everyone here, including you, wouldn't want their kid to end up like this Johannah idiot above. 

    You're an engineer. Respectfully, that's still a decent field that shouldn't really require any DEI bullshit. Learn calc, learn applied math, go out and create stuff. 

    Unfortunately, medicine isn't nearly as shielded from that nonsense. In the US, medical education is pushing the idea that if a child is saying they are transgender, pushing them toward the path of hormone blockers is both acceptable and encouraged. If you are a resident, if you have moral qualms about doing that, and you speak out against that, you are opening up yourself to retaliation and possibly getting expelled from your program. Every medical school now has a DEI office, run by woke ideologues, that you run the risk of pissing off. So, sadly, everyone I know in pediatrics who went through it with that opinion just kept their mouth shut. It's become too politicized.

    If you are asian or white and you score in the 90th percentile on your MCAT, you are less likely to get into medical school than a black or hispanic person who scores in the 75th percentile. Instead of raising the standard for people of all races, about 10-20 years ago, schools have instead tried to recruit classes that match the racial makeup of the entire country. There simply aren't enough black and hispanic applicants who have comparable test scores to whites and asians. Unfortunately, this has resulted in many black and hispanic students matriculating in the place of a more qualified white or asian applicant. And in a result that no one could have predicted, now there are a disproportionate number of blacks and hispanics failing out of residency programs. 

    I would guess that most people here are against the politicization of academia rather than education itself. I'm probably the most anti-higher education person on this board. Getting an education for STEM fields is mostly okay, but clearly there is something wrong when half of college grads end up working high school level jobs

    I'm proud of what I accomplished in school. You should be proud of what you accomplished, too. Learning and teaching are things that should be celebrated. It is very fulfilling and lucrative for a select few of us. Unfortunately, it's mostly a racket for the rest.

    I'm sure she will have a lucrative career.😂
