I homeschool, but apparently since I only have an engineering degree I'm not qualified.
LOL! When you boast about your wealth/success in a response to @vergo, who was merely explaining her experience/education credentials,you diminish yourself greatly, while providing a glimpse of your insecurities to everyone here.And this isn't the first time. Did the same thing to me a month ago, stomping your feet and bragging about your 'wealth'.
@CatherineofAragon I’m an engineer and work for a very large company with hundreds of engineers...while it’s true most of us are conservative....like everywhere else, you can find every sort of freakshow walking our floors!
@RoosGirl Never said that, but don't let the fats get in your way.
But rather than allowing you to embarrass yourself further let me make the same offer that I have made countless times to your fellow homeschooling advocates over on TOS: Come on in the water is fine, show me how to do my job better. Get a teaching degree, do your student teaching, find someone that feels you have what it takes to reach a classroom full of mini yous and dive right in.
The only problem I ever saw with them was the base car could get you sea sick on a road with high and low places because of the short wheelbase,but get a station wagon and that disappeared.
@Frank Cannon Frankie Frankie Frankie, I didn't say you were a homeschooler, I said you were a homeschooling ADVOCATE. See you silly little man they are two different things. BTW I have tried to see things from you myopic (that means nearsighted) point of view, but i just can't seem to get my head that far up my butt.So listen I, and everyone else reading this thread, noticed that you dodged the request: Come on in, the waters warm. Get your teaching degree and show me how to do it better. The fact is that you and the rest of the homeschooling ADVOCATES (I capitalized it in a meager hope that you won't miss it this time) wouldn't last a New York minute in any classroom,much less an inner city one. So my very best advice it to STFU and go sit in the corner and thank your lucky stars that there are people like me willing to attempt to educate the fruits of your loins.
@DCPatriot Thank you for the support, but for the record I am 100% USDA APPROVED male, at least I still was the last time I checked.
You don't recall any other problems with the Pinto?
@Frank Cannon No. I do remember (I think it was on NBC) a news special about exploding Pinto and GM pickup gas tanks,but that was mostly bullbush. I personally knew a dozen or more people that owned Pintos and drove them for over 100k miles that never had any trouble,and I am not PERSONALLY aware of even ONE single gas tank explosion. Yeah,I know,a law firm and/or NBC hired a research team to find multiple gas tank explosion in Pintos that were rear-ended,but find it odd that they couldn't seem to find a similar percentage of rear end collision gas tank explosions with Vegas,Omnis,and even bigger cars. They didn't because they didn't look or want to know,and they didn't want to know because it was Ford they filed their multi-billion dollar class action law suit against. Finding explosions in other cars would have weakened their case.
Finding explosions in other cars wouldn’t have weakened their case, but it would have been a colossal waste of time and effort because it wouldn’t have yielded admissible evidence.
@Oceander I understand your points,but it would have weakened the class action case against the Pinto because you can't prove Ford is guilty of negligence if every other car manufacturer has similar problems. AFAIK,the "tripwire" is proving gross negligence leading to the loss of human lives,and it's not gross negligence if it happens all the time with everyone's cars.And let's face it,cars are not designed to have other cars rear-end them at speed.
LOS ANGELES — (CWD) — Sources familiar with the investigation tell Crime Watch Daily with Chris Hansen that Riverside County Sheriff's Homicide Detectives are in serious discussions to send cadaver dogs to the Turpin residence. Authorities want to know if it’s possible that there may have been other children. Those discussions also include performing DNA tests to determine if all of the children are related. The Sheriff's Department would not confirm this information to "Crime Watch Daily."
https://crimewatchdaily.com/2018/01/18/article-2018-01-18-turpins-charged-with-torture-child-abuse-false-imprisonment/I wonder if the DNA tests (if true) would be for another reason.
@Frank Cannon No. I do remember (I think it was on NBC) a news special about exploding Pinto and GM pickup gas tanks,but that was mostly bullbush.
On June 9, 1978, Ford agreed to recall 1.5 million Ford Pinto and 30,000 Mercury Bobcat sedan and hatchback models. Iacocca was fired the following month.It was too late to save Ford's reputation. Ford customers filed 117 lawsuits, according to Peter Wyden in The Unknown Iacocca. A 1979 landmark case, Indiana vs. Ford Motor Co., made the automaker the first U.S. corporation indicted and prosecuted on criminal homicide charges.
I am curious how they avoided detection, in multiple residences, for many years, in two states, by relatives, neighbors, employers, law enforcement, school authorities, members of their religious congregations, and so forth.
That's the sad thing, that people might have seen what was happening but said nothing.
I wonder if the two year old was the offspring of one of the daughters, but maybe they were so poorly nourished they couldn't carry a child to term. The "father" is already charged with a sexual offense. I'll be following this story until the Turpin "parents" get their just desserts. My heart aches for those children.
I read an article today that the neighbors in Texas suspected something was off kilter...but said nothing. How tragic.
Maybe it was this one?https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/crime/dead-dogs-filth-and-ropes-tied-to-beds-inside-the-turpins-home-in-texas-before-they-moved-to-perris/ar-AAuWX96One neighbor said that one year they bought 8 bikes around Christmas time, left them outside and they were never used. It sounds like one of the children tried to escape before and was returned by a local resident"A deputy was called to the Turpin house in 2001 when a child was bitten by a dog, and Vinyard’s uncle called the sheriff when the couple’s three pigs got loose in 2002. But Vinyard and his wife decided not to alert authorities about suspected abuse.“We discussed it and we didn’t want to have the repercussions with them,†Vinyard said, especially since Turpin was armed."The deputy didn't notice anything wrong? More comments from neighbors at link.
