I like the privatization through vouchers better. We would still have publicly funded education for ALL, and any failing private schools won't get any business, teacher salaries will rise for the good ones, teachers who are bad will finally get fired instead of tenured, and the schools will have the right to expel a student who is obnoxious thus cutting out the bad parents.
Simply raising salaries only gives the teacher the same ability to blame the parents for bad grades (I know this goes both ways).
I do feel Law Enforcement tends to pay too low. Not sure why, but the fringe benefits are pretty damn nice. A policeman friend of mine in NY speeds all day, never got a ticket for the last two wrecks he's caused, etc.
Don't they just raise your rates accordingly, or insert an exclusion (or offer an alternative policy with the exclusion)?
They already are legally responsible for them. Not sure what you mean. My azz gets sued if my kids do something stupid. Don't think for a minute John Edwards sees me as untouchable if my son is caught keying somebody's truck!
Agreed!! We just had another drunk illegal alien kill a 20yr old pregnant mother and her unborn child(unviable mass?) here in NC. Her 3yr old daughter survived but is pretty messed up. Who wants to tell her that her mommy is gone and isn't coming back?
I agree in the civil union side of this, but no church should be FORCED to perform a gay marriage or honor it. Separation of church and state, ya know.
Are you talking about motorcyclists, or also youths on bicycles and skateboards? Personally, I think you're taking WAY to big a risk not wearing one, and I will put one on every time I get on a motorcycle, and require my kids to wear one on their bicycles/scooters/skateboards. I guess I see no issue with requiring kids to wear them, but if you're an adult and want to take that chance, so be it...same w/seatbelts (kids must wear, adults make their own call).
I personally don't support it, but I can see why so many do. Just think of this jack-azz Devlin guy who had those two kidnapped boys in his apartment. Some would say he needs killin'!
Yes!
Not entirely sure on this one, but I understand the potential need for an age maximum if senility/Alzheimer's were possibly setting in. Seems there ought to be a more direct approach to that problem besides an age limit though.
Exemption if they have a job, but otherwise no real resistance on this from me!
I think we're already doing a VERY good job at this. Need to watch out for exploitation groups who claim to be supporting these causes but lining their own pockets with money that often comes from kids and schools.
Again, I think we're doing great here. Respect, however, should be first and foremost earned on your character, not physical features. I will NEVER respect Hillary Clinton, and it has NOTHING to do with her gender. I DO respect Condi Rice, and it STILL has nothing to do with gender.
Where it is deserved. I do not tolerate criminals, for example, or anyone who subverts our US Constitution. I also have little tolerance for those countless individuals using "intolerance" or "bigotry" claims because someone disagrees with their views or behavior.
