A student.... one... who recorded him because the teacher does not suscribe to his particular viewpoint. I listened to the student this morning on Fox News.. Kinda reminded me of how the students were required to report on thier teachers in 1930's Germany.. Did you listen to the recording? Not just the short clip that made some TV/radio news, but the 4+ min clip I linked? I think the full recording is much longer, I would like to hear all of it. The kid is a critical thinker, I understand how that is threatening to liberals. Again, I am happy that liberals are eager to defend his right to teach this in the public school classroom. What is your avatar? People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am

Not just one guy that disagreed. The teacher's boss disagreed. I am so glad that liberals think that so few would find his rant objectionable. The teacher was doing much more than voicing his opinion. He was preaching on his soapbox, preaching a lot of crap. If the left wants to defend this guy, I think that would be wonderful! What is also wonderful is that a kid knew that he was full of shit. Not all kids have a skull full of mush. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am

Pop said muslims, I didn't know muslims had a single government. OK, I was generalizing. Certainly is true of some specific countries, Saudi Arabia and the Palestinian Authority at least.

The only 2 stage rocket I made had the nose cone so tight that it didn't pop off like normal. It went so high you couldn't see it, and came back down only about 100 feet away, without our seeing it, impaled itself in the dirt. Sure glad it didn't hit anyone/anything. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am

Yup, I did that too, only one engine though. I also would put about a cup of smokeless powder (reloading powder for rifle shells) in a glass coke bottle, and throw a match in. That would put a flame up about 5 feet high, and sound like a rocket. I'm sure glad my dad never found out about that. It does pretty good even to just put it in a big pile on the open ground too. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am

Why are you asking this in response to me? Have you read anything I've written in this thread or do you just ASS-UME I'm on the opposite side of every position you hold? I apologize. I realize that I misread your reply to lawrocket's post. I know we don't always disagree. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am

Quite right, so what is it about this development that is so scary? Why the comparison to all white country clubs, is this comparable to what they want to do? Children inheriting a house also inherit the limitations of a homeowner's association, or deed restrictions, etc. I don't think a comparison to the Taliban is justified given you haven't listed anything to objectionable. If they are trying to do something so bad, certainly a simple law would reign in their evil intentions. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am

It must be comforting to know you can automatically reply to anything I write with the same attitude. It's much less effort than actually reading and thinking. So sorry, I was just adopting a style of response that is popular with a moderator. It is kinda fun. People should be free to make communities with local 'standards' if they don't violate laws, don't you think? Is there something in particular that is objectionable?

OK, so you don't consider it "spewing hate", but do you think it deserves his removal as a teacher? I can't affect your certainty that I would not object to a similar rant from a rightist teacher, but that is not relevant to this teacher. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am

You should add Queen Latifah, for some reason she thinks she's hot. That movie she did with Steve Martin, Bringing down the house, was terrible. She is fat (not a monster, but she is fat). I apologize in advance if I come off as bashing the overweight (gravity has more of a hold on me than it should), but to cast her as the hot female interest in a movie is awful. Steve Martin should have had the sense to turn that movie down. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired.

I wonder how long people will keep using that amusing archaism, "It's a free country." Narci also doesn't get it, whoosh.... People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am

I don't doubt their analysis on the hybrid story, just wanting to dispell the myth that they are always to be trusted because they are supposed to be unbiased. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am

They are a good source of info on many things. However, what they did to the Isuzu Trooper was very unethical. Their test driver had trouble getting the thing to lift up on 2 wheels during their slalom test, so they had to repeatedly try different techniques in order to achieve their desired results. Then they did not report it as such. What they did in reporting the Boeing 757 as having an unhealthy air conditioning system was extremely unethical. There is nothing unusual about it. Those 2 stories are kinda like NBC Dateline's reporting of the truck collision/fire story, they had to add an ignition source to achieve their desired result. They knew the fires were possible, but darn it, their tests just weren't going that way, so it is much less expensive and troublesome to just make it happen. Dateline should be forced to admit their fraud before and after every show for the next 10 years, and I think Consumer Reports should have to do something similar. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am

I contend that you don't know that as a fact, and you should not call us liars. Have you listened to it yet? People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am

I don't know about the progress of the Revtec. Increasing the compression ratio is one of the basic ways to increase thermal efficiency, so it is exciting that something so achievable may be in the near future.

Indoctrinating our youth!!!!!!!!!! Did you listen to the recording? The link is just a few posts up... In my opinion, he was definitely indoctrinating. No doubt about it. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am

Wrong. The students weren't upset with what he said - 150 of them protested against his suspension. Only one parent was upset enough with his remarks to complain. The 150 students just shows how dangerous a teacher such as this is. Students are attracted to an anti-establishment teacher such as this. That should be expected, not a surprise. Listen to the recording yourself, my previous post has the link. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am

Wrong, not just because I disagree with his opinion. He was more than just spirited. You are assuming things you cannot know. Here is the recording, you don't have to assume it is just 'spirited', you can listen to it for yourself (click the 'video' tab, then "caught on tape" link in the box at the top of the article): http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,186672,00.html edit - fixed link.

I'm surprised that they don't break even with the tax breaks included. It is amazing how the internal combustion engine may still find a way to improve its efficiency significantly, by increasing the compression ratio to a point that a gasoline engine will ignite on its own like a diesel, but the fuel will already be in the air as it is drawn in the cylinder, eliminating the trouble diesels have with achieving clean combustion as the fuel is injected and combustion happens simultaneously: http://www.me.berkeley.edu/cal/HCCI/ This is also an interesting idea for a crank mechanism, with great torque benefits: http://www.revetec.com/?q=taxonomy/term/19 People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired.

Quite right. I also saw this story on Fox News. For some reason there is nothing about it on CNN.com. I searched, but nothing there... If the UAE wants to bring something dangerous into the USA, they can certainly do in on their state owned airline, it already flies into our country with tons of cargo regularly. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am

That is a huge mischaracterization of what he said. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am

I did hear an extended excerpt of his rant, and it was a rant, and extremely inappropriate, in my opinion. Your hypothetical 'right wing rant' does not even come close in comparison. It is pretty much exactly what the president has said. I understand you don't agree with the presidents assertions, but it is not an over the top rant like what I heard. The teacher was clearly spewing hate, not encouraging students to think for themselves. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am

When the government does the teaching, and the government shows it as propaganda on goverment operated media, that is a big difference. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am

I don't know about the levels now, but they're oriented towards kids, so I wouldn't be afraid of level 2. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am

It is a lot easier now than when I did it as a kid in the early 70's. Back then you could only get kits where you had to glue the fins on. It was more 'rewarding', but a lot of work and the fins broke a lot. Now many kits have plastic injected bases with integral fins. The starter kits are amazingly cheap with complete launchers and everything. I used to put insects in the rockets with the clear nose cones, they never were hurt. I also tried to get them to catch fire when the parachute ejection charge would fire, but was unsuccessful. When the rockets were broken, at times we would just light off the engines by themselves, which of course meant they were unguided, unstable missiles - very exciting. It is cheap entertainment, try it out. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired.
