Florida book bans - the first step before burning

[Earl]

Walter has left the building without admitting that he lied about TOP not being a teacher.

Poor, poor, poor Walter.

 

[Walt]

.

I was careful to remove any of your quote. I know how upset you get when we quote you.

Walter has left the building without admitting that he lied about TOP not being a teacher.

She does not know anything about the teaching profession. If Earl believes Toxic Top is a teacher, well, it is a free country. We are all entitled to our opinion.

So, Walter you admit that you lied when you said that TOP is not a teacher.

But, but, but, you lied when you said that TOP is not a teacher, Walter.

“TOP is not a teacher” you said. That is an opinion, not a fact as you stated, Walter.

What’s her name?

Poor Walter.

 

[Earl]

The wheels are turning in poor Walter’s head trying to justify his lie about TOP.

Use the “I was careful to remove any of your quote. I know how upset you get when we quote you” obfuscation.

Too funny.

 

[Earl]

This is not the first...second...third...time that Walter has been caught in a bald faced lie.

Poor Walter.

Wow, that happened in h.s. when I was a kid. PE was segregated then so the boys went to one side of the gym, the girls to the other, and there was a divider down the middle. The PE teacher (Mrs. Jones) showed us a film about puberty and body changes and menstrual periods and how a baby grows in the womb and some stuff about sperm and eggs and it takes both to make a person, but that was about it. No clue what the boys learned about but it was no doubt similar. That was in the late 60s and even then parents had to sign a permission slip for that education. There was a Q&A session afterwards, as I recall. But only a few questions, prob. because embarrassment and/or no one wanted to exhibit sexual ignorance in front of her peers.

Must have been a nationwide protocol in the late 60's. I would have been in 6th grade in '68

Guys we are not living in the stone ages, book burnings do not and can not stop anybody wishing to learn from learning. We have in our mist a thing called the internet and you can learn just about anything your little ol heart desires. What Florida is doing is really rather comical....they burned popular sneakers, two years later the sales went through the roof, same things with Cd's....news flash, lets all say 2023 out loud and not 1823.

Yup. Earlier in the discussion I mentioned 'suggested' (but not mandatory) reading at home.

 

[TOP]

I have moved past wondering if Toxic Top has ever been a teacher, she has not, and on to wondering if she has ever had a job. She says that a good teacher would continue teaching through the Holocaust, and any that fled due to the Holocaust were showing some sort of personal failure. She is not tolerant of teachers who cannot afford to teach, and seems to think that they should be willing to do anything for any amount of money.

And she is surprised to hear that schools try to keep teachers for the entire year.

It would be nice if you would pay attention to what I actually post...and not reply with things I never said...Thanks...

Disagreed on funding and freedom. It's all tied together.

In inverse proportion. Far and away, those who screech 'freedom!' are against all taxation. TEA party was a movement against taxes. And black legislators.

 

[Althea]

Which is why Republicans are so desperate to shutdown the internet.

Not the Christey parts.

 

[TOP]

But, but, but, you lied when you said that TOP is not a teacher, Walter.

“TOP is not a teacher” you said. That is an opinion, not a fact as you stated, Walter.

What’s her name?

Poor Walter.

And he lies constantly about what I say and think...It's understandable, considering...We'll find a way to get him confirmation of my teaching career so that he can finally relax, and move on....

 

[TOP]

That is a violation of the rule, however.....you altered the quote...

I wouldn’t take poor Walter too seriously. You don’t have to prove anything to that pendejo.

He has been caught in too many lies to not question his veracity.

He misquoted me recently and then tried to lie his way out of it.

He pretends to be an authority about everything on earth but as serendipity says about poor Walter, “This is pure bollocks. Not once have you posted a link, you just pull this shit out of your arse.”

Poor Walter.

No worries...I do not....But for the record, 3/4 of this forum already has the proof that I taught...but he asked if you had "proof"...so let's find out what he needs, so that he can stop fussing... (He doesn't understand the quote rule...)
He is certainly no authority on anything school or education related.....and he misquotes me all the time...I believe I just mentioned that, as a matter of fact...

The rule is now called the "Dutch Uncle Rule." I refer to it as the Dutch Auntie Rule.

The fact that it is so clearly written that even a half-wit like Walter continues to violate it, says a great deal about poor Walter.

I have not reported his rule violations...yet.

"16. Quote Box Altering:

One can alter a quote box by removing some of a wall of text to expose the specific part you are responding to, or splitting it apart so you can respond to each item one at a time. However, altering the words posted and changing the meaning of what they said for whatever reason (a joke for instance) is not allowed unless you change the "quoted by" portion of the quote to make it clear that the original poster did not post what you are "making" them say. We will begin by deleting these posts, and if it continues we will get into banning. I will update this rule with changes until it settles in.

Example:

A bad "quote" that we would delete:

An altered "quote" that would not be deleted:

This is pretty clear....
I'm sure he won't continue to violate the rule now that he's been gently reminded...

So I can remove text, like I have been doing. I guess that makes you WRONG.

splitting it apart so you can respond to each item one at a time.

I can split it up.

Well, I just removed part of your post again, and by doing so showed the part of the rules that allowed me to do so. I think you should fill the moderator with complaints about me following the rules.

You misquoted me without changing the my name, Walter.

Poor Walter.
