ACLU Says Town Needs To Keep On Supporting Illegals
by jayb
We are talking about illegals!!! That means they are breaking the law, so why is the ACLU supporting people that hire and house people that are breaking the law? I’m SO sick of spanish crap all over the place, last weekend I saw two ads on TV that were in spanish!!! WTF!!! If you live in America learn English or get the F*ck out!!
In an effort to reduce the economic and social costs of illegal immigration, the town of Hazleton, Pennsylvania passed a measure to deny a business permit to anyone hiring illegal immigrants, imposes a $1,000 fine on any landlord who rents to illegal immigrants, and establishes English as the town …

“Will Work For Food”
by jayb
I was going to rant on this article I saw on yahoo news Mom Makes Teen Stand on Street With Sign
But it looks like Randy beat me to it, and this rant is better than anything I could come up with.
Washington Post: Tasha Henderson got tired of her 14-year-old daughter’s poor grades, her chronic lateness to class and her talking back to her teachers, so she decided to teach the girl a lesson. She made Coretha stand at a busy Oklahoma City intersection Nov. 4 with a cardboard sign that read: “I don’t do my homework and I act up in school, so my parents are preparing me for my future. Will work for food.”
Extreme? Certainly. Better than entropy? Absolutely! Props to the Mom for trying something. Oh, and there was another nugget in this article worth calling out…
Donald Wertlieb, a professor of child development at the Eliot-Pearson Department of Child Development at Tufts University, warned that such punishment could do extreme emotional damage. He said rewarding positive behavior is more effective. “The trick is to catch them being good,” he said. “It sounds like this mother has not had a chance to catch her child being good or is so upset over seeing her be bad, that’s where the focus is.”
Extreme emotional damage, my left testicle!
This man needs to be taken outside and flogged with a huge stick of salami. If anything, he’s the reason why some people should attend less of school. The quack gets a degree and people believe this type of crap! Jeez: if the kid was getting C’s and D’s in school and disrupting classes, what is she doing well? Extra curricular activities? Got a job? Best hip hop dancer in her homeroom? hah!
What about other important good things, like keeping off drugs? Staying away from alcohol? Not smoking? While these are good things for teenagers, how are they suppose to take away focus from bad things? Should the child be praised for being clean? Of course! But that does not hand her a pass to do whatever the hell she wants at school.
Especially at school.
And on that topic, if she’s not doing well at school, isn’t that one of the most important problem the child should have? Americans seem to think that going to high school is supposed to be a social party rather than a training session for the world to come. I’m not sure when that happened, but it was definitely in effect when I was in HS; probably started in the wasted 60’s.
Hell, it was the social aspects of HS that made me not want to be there in the first place… I scored many a C and D’s while going through the HS system. Why? First off I didn’t think it important - this was true in my case but not for everyone… I got lucky and was saved in college. Second, I hated being in the building - at all - mostly due to social reasons. Why would I give a rat’s ass about the work going on there? Think of it this way… as an adult, you land a job. You hate nearly everyone you work with. You’re in so much pain that you get ill simply walking to the building, knowing that you have eight hours of what will feel like nails on a blackboard. What do you do? Odds are you’ve already started looking for another job. For the immediate future, you suck it up b/c you need to work, but you can deal with that because you know it’s temporary. As a HS student, there is no option, given the four year sentence: this will make for bad job performance. Parents, students, high schools… they need to keep this in mind. Would make for a better - meaning more effective - schooling system.
Back to the tosser that works at Tufts, though… dude, you’re freakin’ clueless. If there’s a problem in the home that’s what needs the most amount of attention… how does it get fixed otherwise?
Meh.

Now its working
by jayb
I use w.bloggar to post 99% of the time. w.bloggar only lets you ping one site when you post so I chose to use ping-o-matic. But somewhere along that line, technorati was not getting pinged. So it never indexed my site with the tag links. Now that I changed it so w.bloggar pings technorati. My tags show up!!! Sweet.
Looking around Technorati I found this post about exporting your del.icio.us bookmarks. I’ll have to give these ideas a try.
later,jb

Retro-Rant: Pregnant Youth
by jayb
This guys rants are great! Checkout his latest truth to the world…..
Simple question: when did it become socially acceptable to get pregnant as a single girl? Like a kid that’s still in High School? I want to know when it happened so that I can do two things: first I need to stop it from becoming acceptable and then I need to beat the person responsible with a fish billy.
We had a couple of girls get pregnant in high school. One of them got an abortion in Freshman year, and I can’t fault in her decision. I know that sounds wrong, and some people might have just changed the “Republican” label of this site to “Liberal Pinko Bastard”, but I know the girl and I know that it would have been a disaster. I know how the kid would have been raised. She did the right thing given the situation. True, I would have rather have seen her not get knocked up in the first place, but in a fucked up situation (no pun intended) she made a responsible choice. It’s a primal rule of life: a situation that starts out fucked up will only get more fucked up over time.
