Katrina is overused.. I dont know if it the $10 prostitute at the corner or if it was a storm... Truth aside, people need to learn to drop the Katrina thing.. It is more of a 'racial' thing than anything.

Gun control should be more about bullet control and what type of guns but, there is also a different perspective. There are some gun laws that that I would agree on but honestly, these gun laws dont do much. It is about the quantity of the gun/bullets. Do you really need a submachine gun or a magazine that could hold 50+ or even 20+?
Side note, do you think people would be more cautious about trying to rob or shoot someone if there was a high chance the other person had a gun? I think an interesting take on gun control would be to allow anyone competent who passes a gun safety/training course, to carry a concealed handgun.
Wild, wild west style. Git 'r done.

Just a Fan is spot on.
ALso, Scrubs variable that he throws in...
You also have a demographic of students more "at risk" to not finish in four years ..... If there was a corresponding graph of students working more than 20 hours per week, I would bet that graph would be inverted with the CSU'S at the top & the privates at the bottom...... While admirable, and in many ways desirable, students juggling work & school are more likely to take longer, especially if budget cuts mean classes are not readily available to fit around a work schedule.
If someone is juggling class times, to facilitate work times, they would not be considered a full time student, would they? Full time student impliles class comes first, work is second. Wouldnt the 'juggling' be the other way around.
Most studies show that, for kids that are paying for their own school, versus mommy/daddy/gubbermint paying ftheir own school, the graduation rates are higher;
I chose school over work. Written up for it but was never fired because I am a beast.  But I do know others who would rather work than go to school. School seemed like a second option because it was either, pay rent and survive or go to class, not get paid and be more in debt. In another example, I also know others who work 30+hours a week and still attend school full time (12 units is the requirement). And one thing that does rustle my jimmies are the people who pay tuition with financial aid and dont attend class.... |

Surprised to see my school in the middle, as I expected it to be towards the bottom. I graduated in four years but know MANY people who have been there for 4+ years and/or entered before I did. An interesting statistic I would like to see is the drop out rate of Freshman before major cuts and currently.
And Just_A_Fan, I believe that most people do commute to school at CSU's because they are more local. For instance, when you ask someone at a CSU, I would bet the majority are from within a 50 mile radius as compared to a UC, where most people come from 50+. At Cal, for the people I have talked to that attend/ed, they are not from the Bay Area but come from SoCal or out of state.
From my experience as an undergraduate at my college, the trend of students home location is changing. The school had been accepting more students from outside the Bay Area as compared to the local students. I dont know if that is the case with a lot of CSUs or maybe because my school was a ghost town on weekends.

I blame it all on the ACLU, NAACP & of course MSNBC.
Fixed. I actually believe more in CNN than MSNBC or FOX. Being of a minority, I HATE IT when there are one race-type organizations/meetings/slogans. One of the things that I see around the Valley from time to time is "Brown Pride" or "Asian Pride." Take pride in what you are but don't get mad when someone has a "White Pride" on their 4x4 also. |

I like your list Original.. quite interesting, biased, laughable and educating in all aspects. IdunnowhattothinkaboutMericanow.
Irritating to read/hear that only Muslims kill and only Muslims are terrorists. Same poop different scooper. Jewish genocides, Christian genocides, Muslim genocides. Would rather believe in the stories of war over stealing brides.

OK, couldnt pass this one up, for personal reasons, as well as for IZNE http://abclocal.go.com/kfsn/video?id=8693514Sad thing is, this brother was the better behaved of the two brothers. Used to coach him in baseball and football, and was part of the kids entourage early on. We banned him from our house in 7th grade due to being out of control and doing bad things and illegal things. How do people get to be this STUPID. From the report.. seems like he was a good wrestler? Must have been good enough for the officer to taze a bro. |
