This is transparently one of the worst freaking ideas I have ever heard of. There is already such an incredible discrepancy of power between student and administrative officials, this will do nothing to lessen that gap and nothing to straighten out any abuses of power.

This is nothing about 'teaching kids respect' and everything about endemic paternalism that makes it so that teachers think they have the right to inflict corporal punishment that doesn't even work.

Respect you Jaymez? If you can't get me to respect you without first beating me maybe you don't deserve my respect.

Y'all aware that it's because Californians put in place a no tax hike on real estate that that is the primary reason we have such difficulty raising revenue right now, right?

Yes, it's true that California's tax base is almost ridiculously burdened upon the richest californians. It's also one of the tax-heavier states with regards to business. But at the root of the state revenue problem is not ye incredible liberal hippy government spending too much. It's because Californians of ALL stripes simply REFUSE to reinstate a major funding mechanism of state governance, which is the real estate and housing tax. It's been fixed at a ridiculously low rate for several several years now which is why the state tax funding model is so wonked. It's largely part of the reason why we're in the crapper. Yes, you're right, California does tax rich people more than any other state in the union. But seeing as how even they are not immune to the recession, we're even worse off as a state.

California's got an incredibly multitude of problems, least of all that many suspect its entirely ungovernable due to district gerrymandering and a 60% vote requirement to get anything done at all. But don't make it out to be as though it's ye horrible leftist liberal communist socialist pig dogs in Sacramento that are causing all the problems. The root of all problems spread the blame around pretty sufficiently.

Y'all listen here idiots. The primary reason why California is the leader in unemployment is not any of your idiot talking points about how it's hostile to business or illegal immigrants or anything. It's because California actually headed first into the housing market slump back in 2007, almost a full year before the rest of the nation did so.

We've been hemorhagging jobs well before it hit anybody else and right about now it's hitting everyone up the wazoo. The state government is not helping because of our ridiculous budget process that allows the Republican minority to tie up any means of increasing state revenue, and all together there is just a perfect storm of circumstances that lead to California and Florida being the worst off.

The majority of all capital flowing through both California and Florida largely stemmed from housing prices and the requisite boom it came with. It might be indicative of a level fo generalized California stupidity, but the number of home equity loads that came out of the state of california in yhe years leading up to the bust were significantly greater than any state in the nation. We are basically just the leading indicator of whatever should hit the world next.

The cynical part of my brain said "hey, neatorama puts up boobs for more hits" but that's for another time.

As for the article itself, i suppose it's different things for different people. Sexual attraction is so vast and varied that I wouldn't be surprised if everyone caught something different from the other person.

Unclear as to why anyone would consider this crazy. I'm pro-gun control myself but if anyone is surprised at the lengths to which merchants will go, I mean... c'mon.

They sell things, it's what they do. And car merchants are proven to be predominantly republican, loud, attention-needing people.

Republican due to statistics and occupation (taxes and whatnot). Attention - have you SEEN the commercials? Loud - not necessarily but we're talking the giant inflatable gorilla on top of the dealership: pretty loud.

Look you lamers. Feel free to slag on Banksy if you've got a legitimate complaint or theory on why his work has no merit but in pure artistic techicals, he's got it down.

It's aesthetically pleasing it's socially provocative, and as a rarer point in today's artistic environment, most of the times it doesn't actively repel the viewer. So slag off haters.

@ neatoman. That's standard for any presidency, his or any preceding. He's angered me to be sure but his poll numbers aren't moving in any way that wasn't preordained for years
