easier to just kick her off the ticket. she's not supreme court justice material. there are plenty of other black women who are smarter and better choices.

my daughters' school is 43% white, 33% hispanic, 10% black, and 4% asian. that's pretty integrated. northside prep is the best high school in the state, its 31% white, 30% hispanic, 20% asian, and 10% black. that's pretty integrated too. walter payton (the second best high school in the state...yes, its named after a football player where do you think you live?) is 44% white, 21% hispanic, 20% asian, and 10% black. i live right on the border of albany park and lincoln square. albany park is 45% hispanic, 32% white, 15% asian and 5% black. pretty integrated. lincoln square (much wealthier) is 65% white, 18% hispanic, 9% asian, and 3% black. not so much. humboldt park is 49% hispanic, 23% white, 23% black, and 1% asian. englewood, by contrast, is 94% black and 4% hispanic. the city as a whole is 33% white, 29% black, 28% hispanic, and 6% asian. with the black population shrinking dramatically and the asian population growing quickly. a few pockets of "diverse" neighborhoods here and there, but you can still divide the city into thirds with blacks to the south, whites to the north, and hispanics to the west. its not universal by any means, but that general split still applies.

the ukraine would get crushed by russia. its a big open field. there would be little resistance as half the country is pro-russia, which happens to be the part of the part of the country next to russia. most likely would be a split government initially that russia would use as a satellite state. and no country on earth has won more recorded battles than the french...1940 aside (which they also could have won with better leadership...).

thurgood marshall was a woman? well i'll be damned... until ronald reagan chose sandra day o'connor, each supreme court pick was a man.

i know it wont happen, i just think it would be valuable. its too contentious a topic to really be discussed in public schools outside of being touched upon in history classes where it can be viewed as dispassionately as possible. and like you said, we're a secular society now outside of utah and the deep south. this board is probably as good an example as any of how northern middle class white people feel about religion, and its usually only addressed here to mock those who believe it and call them stupid. edit: white christians and christianity are mocked. other religions and non-white religious people are not.

raymond, larkin, seider, bertuzzi, ned (sometimes). is there really anyone else worth a damn? fabbri on occasion. everyone else is a third line player or bottom six defenseman at best. ahl player at worst. again, getting nothing from three years of drafting prior to yzerman coming on board (including two top ten picks) is killing this team.

as a catholic school graduate, i thought the theology courses we took were the most interesting ones i ever took. the bible is full of cool stories. kids study "world history" in high school, they can study world religion too. the two really hand in hand. the idea of god and religion has been one of the driving forces in humanity for its entire existence. its kinda important to know about.

i remember how they cut away from regular programming to show sosa and mcgwire at bats. baseball hasnt had that kind of juice (ha!) in years. the only other time i remember was when ripken broke gehrig's record, but espn ruined it by having chris berman there crying. anyway, sosa/mcgwire was a big deal and did a lot for baseball.

kamala harris on the supreme court would be....something other than kick ass. the democrats want to dump her that bad? lol. it'll be jackson. breyer clerk, black woman, liberal. check check check.

Who do you want to replace Harbaugh if he goes to the NFL?

he was at ND. got a lot of top defensive tackles. there's a 5* commit there right now who he should be calling... -
right, but we've taken the establishment clause to mean you cant put up a cross as a grave marker, or celebrate xmas without having an equal sized display for diwali. i think that is a misreading of the first amendment. i also think religion should be taught in all public schools. a section on world religions would be good for students to learn about
-
cause bertuzzi is their best player.
-
lol. of course i dont think that. i think that the founders were influenced by the political situation in europe where the church was often a state unto itself or, in england's case, the state itself. they didnt want that repeated in america. however, that didnt mean not teaching about god in the public space, nor did it mean that putting up a christian symbol in a public space was unconstitutional. they were all about that. our interpretation of what constitutes the "establishment" of religion would be beyond the scope of how the founders thought of it.
-
a bunch of different what kind of denominations?
-
jones is also in a bad organization, which will definitely affect his development.
-
as an aside, i think the founders' idea and the colonialist's ideas on schools would have assumed they would teach christianity, it was just how they thought back then. if not "christianity" then at least the bible and the idea of god in the universe. which is kind of why i think the modern liberal interpretation of the separation of church and state is incorrect....(he said, opening up that can of worms).
-
well...your quote does speak of furthering religion...
-
1) ron johnson doesnt speak for the pro life movement. 2) what he said doesnt mean he doesnt care about children once their born. but its ron johnson and he's kinda dumb so maybe youre right. lol.

or maybe that's why harbaugh hired elston, cause he knew macdonald was leaving? -
john mara is a bad owner. however, the owner should support his employees publicly. what he says behind closed doors in an internal evaluation may be different.
-
exactly. bonds seems like a total jerk but he's the best hitter in baseball history and belongs in the hall of freaking fame. somebody voted for justin morneau and aj pierzynski for god's sake.
-
i dont care about vizquel's allegations either. its a museum to talk about the best baseball players, not about a bunch of saints.
-
ok. my mistake, i thought you were questioning whether manchin and sinema would approve a liberal black woman judge.
