"The tests were carefully designed to avoid cultural referenced (though one would expect that teachers, being presumably highly educated and suited to teach the next generation should have expanded their horizons).
In any case the literacy test…"

"Strange things do happen. Some years ago I found myself involved in an intense sexual relationship with a very Christian grandmother (she was actually married, but her alcoholic husband was out of the picture). We would have sex before church,…"

jay H replied to Thomas Murray's discussion Amnesty International on Donald Trump
"Amnesty International has their own set of biases including a healthy dose of pro Muslim antisemitism.
This site has their perspective as well but AI is very much in who they defend and whom they attack. LIke a lot of NGOs on the left and the…"
jay H replied to Ruth Anthony-Gardner's discussion Civil Service Slaughter
"Currently the number of government employees (many doing useless jobs, others meddling in our affiars) is about double the number of people in manufacturing.
Something's totally upside down."
jay H replied to Ruth Anthony-Gardner's discussion tRump plans CIA restructure
"There are a lot of security professionals who doubt the strength of those claims as well. The 'briefing' provided very little concrete information. It's not impossible that Obama got the report he wanted."

"In parts of our current PC climate, you would be called a 'racist' just for pointing this out.

jay H replied to Compelledunbeliever's discussion Statistics show that there are far fewer atheist in prison than theist, True, but totally wrong!
"There's another issue to: how do you define an atheist?
We tend to think of folks like many of us who have come to some form of rational conclusion about the universe and decided there is no evidence of gods.

jay H replied to tom sarbeck's discussion If the Electoral College Chooses Trump, Will It Have Failed in Its Purpose?
"I must admit I'm having fun watching all this. Before the election when Trump was questioning the results, Obama insisted that the elections were secure and it would be unpatriotic to question the results simply because you don't like…"
jay H replied to tom sarbeck's discussion If the Electoral College Chooses Trump, Will It Have Failed in Its Purpose?
"The concept of the EC was in part to keep any single state from controlling the federal government by giving each state a guaranteed minimum voice. In popular vote, California and Texas could pretty much control the country.

- About Me:
- I'm an old coot, raised JW, became sceptical then outrightly disbelieving many years ago.
Politically (after years of wandering through philosophies-du-jour), I'm strongly pro-individual freedom, pro-market, to the discomfort of both my liberal and conservative friends.
Day job is computer administration for a large corporation. Off hours I like anything with machines and tools.

Nice looking dog you have! "Securing" a dog is a concern. Previous dogs have stayed outdoors ALL the time, never running away . But I live out in the country. Free roaming is my preference, but the H.S. doesn't like to hear that. I'm losing sleep trying to come up with an alternative.
