I will never ever understand why anyone would ever sign up to live under an HOA. I wouldn’t consider it even if the house was free. The never ending horror stories, and constant complaints from every friend I’ve known that tried it make me think I would go postal in short order.

Even "going postal" in other countries is less violent than the US.

while it's better than going "postal" and killing several co-workers & employees, it's still total BS.

Fair point. And it certainly is a personal thing with me. There's just something annoying about someone sticking their nose into what I do, then using it for personal gain and to further the market of manipulation and influence that is capitalism. We're certainly headed for those scenes in Minority Report; can't walk down the street without being inundated, or touch a cereal box without being pestered. I tell ya, that's the day I go postal.

Man...the cons fail to steal one stinking election and they go postal.

@MaxWilder
In your post you were talking in generic terms about what should and should not be allowed to be taught in school, not just in a math class. That was what I reacted against and how I answered your post. As you said "It is not appropriate to use immoral acts as the content of school lessons, no matter what the specific act may be" Using broad generalisations is a dangerous thing to do.
On to the rebuttals/clarifications:

1.1.1 Thank you and I agree.

2.1.1 No answer here?

2.2.2 In the video up top it is, I was not discussing that but rather the things you claimed in you post. As my post began: "Ok, I have a couple of issues with your post." emphasis here is on your post. Not what happened in a school lesson somewhere else.

3.1.1 Actually I believe I proved your point was faulty. You claimed that "you would not want a teacher who used an example of how much children eat daily, and how much less they would need if you drowned some of them." and then you agree that there is nothing wrong with a problem like that. Or maybe it has to do with the wording of the problem? So you might have a point here.

3.2.1 Yes, I was. All work and no play makes people go postal... Also it is true. Robots > Humans

4.1.1 Yes, they would be better in a physics class, I agree. Perhaps it is still too fresh in the memories of some so it would be a distraction but it is up to the teacher to know his/her class and what they can handle. It is not up to a mandate somewhere banning the mentioning of these events in school which I interpret is what you want based on your post.

5.1.1 I guess we have a difference of opinion there. It happens. Not only the student who had an accident can be affected by it (Damn you empathy! Damn you to hell! ) so would you send an entire school or an entire class to the counsellor? There is only so much space in one office and 24 hours in a day.

5.2.1 You have a point here, yes. If you always go off the books then your students will fail once finals/national tests happen as you will not have done anything in the topic they were supposed to be learning in. If you go off on an important discussion once in a while I don't see the harm in it. People are lazy and don't want to do stuff unless it interests them in some way and not all students love all subjects. However I said: "Learning and developing a lust for learning is the main goal of any teacher worthy of that title in my book." and I stand by it. If you can plant that seed in a student they will continue to learn new things until the day they die even if they flunk out.


Also: Thank you for the link to the yourteacher.com site. Very good stuff. And I don't see you as rude. We are having an open and public debate and are having some problems with miscommunications and misunderstandings. In a forum like this it is hard to self-correct/explain more if someone misunderstands something or if someone is not clear enough as you can't answer questions instantly. It happens.

I like xxovercastxx's idea.

But I swear to god, if I get a fucking jury duty summons in my PM, I'm going postal.

Uh oh... please let him have a new channel, admins! I sense that if Deano doesn't get his way, he's going to go POSTAL!!!

The quoting system is an arse to try and work with so

To mouthbreathers like Maze and Throbbin: Stop trying.
To others: No, in my opinion YOU are wrong. And your views based in fantasy.
Desirable as it might seem, that is not the world we live in.


I'm not entirely sure the point you are trying to make with your argument.

Sure, it's possible that if you provoke a police officer then he or she may over react, or go postal. But just because that's what might happen, doesn't mean it shouldn't outrage the community.

Think about the argument you are trying to make with respect to law and civil society.

...and if I'm keeping you awake with my mouthbreathing, just give me a gentle caress on the thigh to wake me up. I don't mind sleeping on the couch.

>>Well excuse the shit out of us for expecting people who are armed with lethal weapons and professionally trained to inflict massive amounts of damage with hand to hand combat, to have a little more restraint than Joe Shlub on the street.


I accept that, but PRESUMING they do is liable to get your ass handed to you as we've seen in this clip. This is what I was trying to get at with my "only human" bit. Everyone snaps, even those in positions of authority. The popular term is "Going postal".

To think otherwise is borderline delusional, and just wishful thinking.

And of course the cop should pay for his actions. I'm not saying otherwise.


And in case anyone was wondering: Apparently the reason she was there in the first place was because she stole a car.

This video is so entirely fucked up I don't even know where to BEGIN. I have to stop watching this shit or I'm going to go postal.

hehehhe, I am waiting for djsunkid to go postal....(inside joke)
