another drugs oriented one: out of all the types of people I've met (and 'given' drugs too) stock brokers are by far the biggest cokeheads. Construction workers also do a ton of coke, and carpenters as well, but all the other tradesmen mostly drink and smoke a lot of weed. I'd say at least 80% of construction workers here smoke weed, the majority on the job.

Also, judges and lawyers do an obscene amount of coke. Them and stock brokers all have to stay up a lot of hours doing mentally straining work, have lots of money, and can't be caught with anything in their system. Coke is perfect because not only does it work out in their situation but their mistresses love it too. Double whammy of satisfaction.

One thing that I've learned being a part of this stuff is that the vast majority of people are on drugs. I'd say its 50/50 those who are on Rx or illegal drugs, with 10-20% doing both. If you're walking down the street, chances are most of the people you see are feeding some kind of drug addiction.

Are the kids - being taught just enough to retain the information on a test that provide teacher incentives - suppressing themselves??

You contradict yourself by sympathizing with that teacher's story then suggest it's the masses fault for accepting/being deceived into a poorly designed/neglected public curriculum.

Kids aren't grown, its the adults I'm referring to. I personally would never let my children be on the same block as a public school or a police department for that matter.

Hey hey, explain further my man. My cable company offers both broadband and cable. I only get the broadband and basic cable but if there's a way to hoodwink the system to get free upgraded cable, I'm all ears.

I plan on sending my kid(s) to a private or homeschooling them also. But what if you didn't have the resources for an option besides public school? Will you blame yourself for a teacher encouraged to teach your kid crap??

VISA's policy is very clear that a retailer/business accepting VISA payments can at anytime refuse payment. So if some guy tries to pay 1 cent for something using his VISA card, the retailer can refuse the payment and basically tell him no.

There's always some law that makes the law protecting the consumer obsolete.

Of course they can tell you to leave because they won't sell to you. I have no idea how that adds anything to what I said since it's stating the obvious.

Mechanics are the same way.

The parents are to blame here, too. These parents have so much control over what happens at the school. They want test dates changed? They're changed. They complain about too much homework? Homework gets cut down. School comes second to these parents when it conflicts with their schdule. Kids leaves for vacation a week before finals and ask to make them up and it's OK. These parents don't show their kids that school should come first, not seeing the new Harry Potter movie the day it opens (true story). You have understand the community my girl is in, though. It's the richest and highest tax paying county in the nation - Bergen County, NJ. And I guess that empowers these parents' say when it really shouldn't.

My friend who is a barber told me that almost all barbers/hair dressers use their clippers to trim their own junk.. So next time you get your hair cut, just remember may also be getting teabagged.

Also, not really a secret or anything, but for any of you thieves out there. If you bring a product into a store and want to get a refund make sure that it's a product that the store carries, because when I scan it to see the price, if we don't carry it it'll come up "not in system" and I am going to laugh at you.
Even when I know that somebody is obviously a thief and a liar, I will at least give them store credit if they are not a complete idiot. So thieves... Just be smart and most managers will at least give you store credit.

Also just a heads up. I've worked for a few major retailers, and have friends who have worked for companies that I have not and in all seriousness the only retailer I have worked for that is HONESTLY a decent company all around is Walgreens. Costumer services is strongly stressed in company, and most of the employees/managers will go way out of their way to help and accommodate you.
