Participant[quote=6packscaredy]i guess it is kind of an agenda. the agenda of gay is normal.
i just don’t see it as sexual. that’s in the parents head. two people adopt a baby is just as “sexual”. it opens the question, well, what are they doing to produce the baby.
the sexuality is related to the baby, not to two moms or two dads.
hell, i was under the impression for many years that sex between adults involved one person peeing on the other. not sure where i got that/
not any weirder for 2 women to pee on each other than a man and a woman ina loving, peeing relationship.
I recently found out however, that there was more involved…[/quote]
Just shot milk half way through my nose laughing…
Funny.

And your point is other than just to be a negative troll…
I’m not being a troll. I’m stating the truth, which is that I have little patience for fundies of ANY religion who hurt those that they purport to love via their superstition and prudery.
One of the purposes of education should be to counter harmful superstitions.
Gay folk and lesbians exist. Deal with it.
Sex exists. Deal with it.
Birth control exists. Learn about it.Your kid won’t die or be scarred for life from learning any of those things, quite the contrary.[/quote]
You are absolutely right these things exist.
So does X rated films… Gruesome pictures of death and dismemberment, car accidents, and etc.
None of this are immoral… but do you want your kid exposed to it early.
Last do you want your kid exposed to it by someone else?
That is the issue here. When and by who does the introduction.
Because I guarntee this… If I came across you having sex in a public place and my child was accompanying me… and you said “Deal with it”
You would be dealing with me very quickly and abruptly.
World is so very black and white to you…

November 14, 2013 at 7:57 PM in reply to: OT: The “Radical” Gay Agenda in California Public Schools #767898ParticipantI am going to throw my two cents into the hat here…
I am sorry but there is an agenda there.
I really do not think it is radical but I believe as SDDuuuude does. It should be up to the parent to decide when and where the engage the topic with the child.
To that point remember Rich your parents signed a consent form for you to attend sex ed class. We all had our parents do that. Hence the decision of when that subject was broached still belonged to the parent(s).
The next argument would be that the kids are probably hearing about these things anyway on the school yard. My nieces go to a pre-school where there were multiple “two mommies” scenarios and my sister was forced to make a decision to explain the situation but it is still up to her what explanation she is going to give.
The point is that she still had control over the situation. It is not up to our schools to indoctrinate one line of thinking or another.
So lets go onto the verbiage…
Why did it have to be a “two mommies” scenario as the OP said? There is no other explanation to this other than to introduce the idea of a homosexual family to the reader. Simply… that is an agenda.
But why bring sexual identity at all into this?
Why not simply say something like “a loving couple adopt a child”… Strip all sexual identity, hetro or homo, from the argument and leave “two loving people” in the story. Much more beautiful of an idea than the whole straight/gay thing and leaves the reader to interpret the situation as they want to.
Leave the decisive language for 10th grade when they are reading 1984 and other suggestive literature and have the maturity to deal with subjects for themselves after their parents have had first crack at the Bird and the Bees.

November 10, 2013 at 9:18 AM in reply to: OT: Temecula Police “DUI” Checkpoint @ 8AM on a Wed Morning!!! #767748Participant[quote=AN][quote=CA renter]Tell you what, CE. If you apply and get accepted into one of the major police departments in Southern California within 12 months, I’ll pay you $500. I’m putting my money where my mouth is…how about you?[/quote]Who in their right mind would do that? Change your career for a $500 bet. Really?[/quote]
I think that is a ridiculous notion… Like many other you espouse..
I’ll admit it and I am sure that you are gambling on this very point but I would have slim to nil chance to be accepted. With so many people, in general, looking for a job and San Diego being a military town why would they want to take a 43 year old man into their employ?
I am well past the age of a career change.
When I graduated from college a long time family friend encouraged my to apply to the FBI. He is an agent himself. He has some fantastic stories but the pay coupled with the long hours and family stress were not avenues I wanted to pursue.
So if you had asked back then… I am sure that you would have lost that bet.
The man that spent several years trying to get me to apply had himself been accepted to HRT. The elite of FBI. So… I think he might have thought I was some what capable…
Again… yawn… Same ol’ argument from both of us…
You say “we” can’t… I am saying a lot of us could.
BG accuses a lot of us being elitist… Your argument is the same.
I am an old dog now and my days of sniffing out prey is over… I prefer the porch.

BTW I know someone that recently graduated from SD Police Academy. Nice gal… But not a superwoman…
November 10, 2013 at 12:23 AM in reply to: OT: Temecula Police “DUI” Checkpoint @ 8AM on a Wed Morning!!! #767737Participant[quote=CA renter]Wrong. You’re still not getting it. Try looking at what the recruits have to go through…even try to see if you can qualify yourself, just for the heck of it.
As for the physical portion, that is just one part of the process. The psychological/IQ test is a big part of it, as is the background check. And then there is the oral interview where you have to sell yourself (this is the only portion of the test that has something in common with most private sector jobs), and where the hiring committee/HR makes further notes about the candidate’s mannerisms, aptitude, background, and emotional/psychological state.
Yes, there is an IQ/psychological exam for many of these pubic sector jobs. I know it doesn’t fit into your (extremely uninformed) conceptions about public service, but most public agencies only higher people with above-average IQs (but not so high that it might indicate the potential for “unusual” behavioral or thought patterns).[/quote]
Yawn… Same ol’ boring argument…
“We are so elite… You couldn’t do this…”
We already had this fight. It’s the same argument that people use when they are trying to convince you that “services” are worth more… Hear the same shit from my vendors too…
I just don’t buy it…

November 9, 2013 at 10:25 PM in reply to: OT: Temecula Police “DUI” Checkpoint @ 8AM on a Wed Morning!!! #767730Participant[quote=CA renter]Did you even read the LAPD questionnaire to see what kind of information they have to provide? And all of it will be verified.
Do they interview your high school teachers/administrators, neighbors, ex-spouses, childhood friends, etc. for a securities license? No, they do not. Do they perform polygraph tests? Do they have to pass rigorous physical/strength tests? Do they have to pass psychological/emotional/IQ tests? No, they do not.
And I’m not 100% sure (and can’t call any of my friends this late to check), but am 90% sure that people who apply for a securities license do not have to detail and explain every single bit of their debt and expenses — sometimes going back many years. Both might have their credit checked, but the LE hiring process is much more invasive and thorough.
Once again, **not even close.**[/quote]
Again… it is not the astronaut program and most people off the street could train for the physicality of this exam…
Give me a break on the IQ exam…

Not even close.[/quote]
I disagree…
Pretty much the same thing though it only goes 10 years back.

November 9, 2013 at 10:02 PM in reply to: OT: Temecula Police “DUI” Checkpoint @ 8AM on a Wed Morning!!! #767725Participant[quote=CA renter]Paramount,
You should know that I agree with you about how some cops go well beyond reasonable force. Still, those are the “cream of the crop” as far as the candidate pool is concerned. If you doubt it, what do you suggest they do to improve their screening methods?
And those more rigorous “private sector” screenings? Show me one that is more thorough and intrusive…and is not for a government contractor. In every single case that I know of where the “private sector” screening comes anywhere close to this, it’s because they are doing work for the public sector. Yes, when you work for the government (either directly or indirectly), you will likely have to meet higher standards for employment.[/quote]
SEC Licensing.
And there are plenty others…

Participant[quote=6packscaredy]Candy quality given at Halloween has improved daramatically over last 40 years[/quote]
I disagree…
PPL in my neighborhood use to make great homemade treats.
The would put their address in the bag with the treat.
PPL cared… but with the proliferation of scumbags doing stupid shit to kids ppl are too afraid to do it.

Participant[quote=SD Realtor]I would agree 110% scaredy. Definitely on 10/31[/quote]
I give a 120%! My Halloweens were fantastic and fun and I owe that to those who follow after me…
Kids get a kick out of receiving it…
I get a kick out of giving it…
And that is the way it should be.
I don’t believe in Santa or the reason for Christmas…
That doesn’t mean we shouldn’t celebrate and have fun with it.
Kids are entitled to that too while we are on the topic. People made mine special and it is my duty to do that as well.
They are not entitled to receiving large scale gifts.

Participant[quote=spdrun]As far as law school, if you can’t get a scholarship to Hahhhhhhhvard, there’s no shame in going to a public law school and limiting your debt to $50-60k for the whole duration. Really makes no difference after 10-15 years whether you end up with a JD from SUNY or Stanford if you’ve a competent attorney — ultimately, it’s a professional degree that allows one membership in a guild (the state bar).
And update for flu:
FB steady as she goes at $49/share.
DOW -44, NASDAQ -6.[/quote]I thought about law school… Funny thing is the most cost effective schools, meaning decent school with decently cheap rates for attending (inclusive of cost of living), are the most applied too so it is very difficult to get in.
ASU and UofA are excellent examples. Top 30 schools, cheaping housing, and also recieve 9000 applications a year last I checked.
So the route you mention isnt always that viable…

Participant[quote=njtosd][quote=SK in CV][quote=The-Shoveler]
Yea I would have to agree with this part, without QCOM and all the tag along wireless industry in that area CV would not have been anything like it is today.It would still be an expensive area IMO but just not a ridiculously expensive one. 3000+sqf homes on 4000sfq lots etc… going for 1M+ (without Ocean views) and Condos going for 600-800K (without ocean views).
I must admit that to me seems ridiculously expensive.[/quote]I doubt that’s true. I lived there for almost 10 years. I met scores, maybe a couple hundred people. Never met anyone who worked at QCOM. I’m sure there are many. But not enough to have any significant effect on prices.[/quote]
We were here, we moved to NJ, we moved back – and among all of the neighbors, friends/neighbors we’ve had I can only think of 2 QCOM people. High tech/biotech types, doctors and lawyers, mostly.[/quote]
Birds of a feather and all that…
I mean QCom ppl all the time but then again I am in a very similiar industry.
CE
ParticipantWelcome to my hell.
This isn’t just CV. Its the whole market and in fact I would venture that 50% of all offerings right now are “zero sum gain” sales.
PPL see the oppurtunity to escape.
Ill go one further.
We just escaped a house in Sacramento for the same reason.
Most of the house I see for sale are house that are being sold at 2004 to 2006 prices. Lot of houses near powerlines and next to major streets.
Redfin is your friend and oracle.
