I'm with mom on this one although it's really impossible to know what's actually going on without more info. It's usually about the details which you won't get from this type of news story. I wouldn't assume to much on either side.

I do think it's cool she trying to get a skate park built for the kids.

Ok this is how corrupt Blizzard has become. Someone started a petition for Blizzard to make an offline Singleplayer patch for Diablo 3. It had over a thousand votes so far. They posted it to the Diablo 3 forums, and even though it violated no rules of the forum that I know of Blizzard in all it's corrupted glory DELETED the post. No explanation no Blue post response just BOOM ban hammer delete.

That's just stupid it's like Canada trying to prevent people from protesting it just proves they know they are doing something wrong and they simply don't give a shit.

Blizzard: "What's that the players have a complaint about our game? Well that can't be our game is the embodiment of perfection incarnate. Just deleted it it simply has to be a mistake."

I have lost absolutely all respect for Blizzard now.

Here's the petition share this link with everyone you can think of.

It's not up to the public at large to decide if charges are warranted. It is up to the public at large whether an investigation is warranted. In that light, I would sign a petition to have Zimmerman brought in for questioning, and to have witnesses properly interrogated by an independent (non-local) police authority as the locals have already shown that they are willing to steer witnesses. >> ^DuoJet:

Here's the cable in question: http://wikileaks.ch/cable/2009/06/09KABUL1651.html (paragraphs 1,4,5 and 6)
Here's the change.org story that caught TYT's attention: http://humantrafficking.cha
nge.org/blog/view/wikileaks_reveals_us_tax_dollars_fund_child_sex_slavery_in_afghanistan

Also, I've got to mention my contempt for Cenk over the following statement "look, they're fighting over in Afganistan, I'm not going to nitpick weather they had hookers" (1:17). We can guess that being sold for sex by rich foreign mercenaries to corrupt local police is a hellish experience. But suddenly if they are young women rather than young boys, it's no big woop. Certainly nothing to quibble over. They're fighting in Afghanistan for profit after all, surely that should come with some fringe benefits. Isn't that right Cenk? I have a hard time believing he's naive enough to think that the women there are safe and empowered sex workers, and not victims of human trafficking or sex slavery.
At least he did help bring attention to this story, so I'll upvote for that.


I watch his show pretty regularly and have gotten fairly familiar with his mindset, I'd definitely say that he doesn't consider traffiking of females as not being a big deal compared to young males.

What he means here is that he doesn't consider it as bad if they were just 'going to the pros' with taxpayer money. They still shouldn't be doing that, given that it's public money, but he doesn't think that prostitution per-se should necessarily be illegal (Obviously, providing that it's concensual on the part of the prositute).

Survival of Democracy Depends on Investment in Civics Education

>> ^Sniper007:

Seriously, this is the best news I've heard in a LONG time. Freaking shut those schools DOWN, every last one! Public schools in America are some of the worst places to learn.


Where exactly are you getting your information from?

Charter schools seem like a good alternative to public education but most are comparable to institutions that already exist. Furthermore, charter schools dont accommodate many poor and special needs students because of a variety of reasons, one being the lack of a legal requirement mandating attendance in a charter schools. Many undereducated and impoverished parents are not aware of charter schools in their area, consequently, more involved and well off students make up a majority of the student body:
"...parents who have been charged with drug possession, prostitution, and other crimes. These are the types of parents who aren't likely to be researching the best charter schools for their children and filling out all the forms."

Parochial and charter schools would suffer considerably if they were forced to take on the educational responsibilities of the entirety of the US. Sniper007, what do you offer as an alternative to the current system?
