Hey, Sunny! Wanna blow totally up?

[Buckrub]

Check out the Facebook page of the US Department of Education (an oxymorism if one ever existed!)

ed.gov on facebook. I don't know how to get there, but I saw the picture.

You should love it!:wink

[Thumper]

That's the same thing I get.

[Buckrub]

A page with the rainbow colors behind the ED.GOV emblem.

Whatever time I posted that, it worked.

[DeputyDog]

I went to it shortly after you posted and it was already down.

Same here, almost immediately after he posted. Possibly it's the link that's bad and not the page.

[Thumper]

I cleaned up the link a little and got through. I assume this is the image. (??)

[Buckrub]

It is! The purple shoulda been higher.

[Nandy]

cant see facebook from work but I take y'all word on it.

[No-till Boss]

What are y'all reading into that to find it offensive ?

[Arty]

If you gave him your name and where you live... I'm pretty sure he will be able to quote you on what you said. .... :)

[Thumper]

Ha ha ha! Some people really need to get a life! Well, either that or just learn not to give a rat's ass! :)

BANG! lol!

Hope parents pull their kids out of government schools and put them in private Schools,Christian Schools or home schooling.

Bucky you were completely correct......the racial problems and now this, will push many citizens over the edge and its going to get VErY BAD!

[Buckrub]

Forced tolerance is one thing. Forced acceptance is another to many folks.

Arguing over this is natural. Disagreeing is natural. But all you Laissez Faire morality guys need to count off on how many Americans don't quite cotton to that way of thinking. Freedom really works both ways. Slippery Slopes are coming into play, big time.

Just observing reality...............gonna be bumpy ride from here to the ground. Air turbulence.

[Arty]

Pulling kids out of public school would do absolutely nothing to "de-fund" them.
I paid a school tax tied in with my property taxes and I had both my kids in PRIVATE SCHOOL.

They're both in public school now.
Way I figure it, if they learn about how gay sex works, it ain't gonna be from me!

[Buckrub]

Some private schools have a pretty bad record when it comes to forced homosexuality.

[Arty]

Mostly the ones that teach hail Mary's and our fathers

[Nandy]

Sunshine, seeing how much offensive it is to you that the Government has used the gay colors in some of their media that should help you realize how offensive it is for other people to see the government flying the Dixie (or whatever is called) flag in government property. I disagree with both sides, I think all this emphasis from the government on the gay issue is out of place, but wont get all worked up by it either.

[Nandy]

Well, the topics have switched from hating on gays to hating on Catholics.

[Arty]

Was just pokin fun.

[DeputyDog]

Me too.

[Chicken Dinner]

Personally, I think we all need a little more hate in our lives...


Was just pokin fun.

[DeputyDog]

Ok, I hate you.


That make you feel better? :biggrin

[BarryBobPosthole]

Blame it on the Swahilis!

[Chicken Dinner]

Yes, thanks.

[Captain]

Y'all some quotin' SOB's

[No-till Boss]

I posted in this thread last night and now it's gone......... Hmmmm

[Buckrub]

What are y'all reading into that to find it offensive ?

No it ain't gone. Here it is.

[Arty]

No it ain't gone. Here it is.

He must have lost his readin' glasses

[No-till Boss]

No it ain't gone. Here it is.

I added another .....

[Buckrub]

Prove it, blindy!

:swordfight

[No-till Boss]

I guess I'm just odd, or it's just my location, but I don't really get the rainbow offensive thing. My first reaction to looking at the ED thingy is crayons, not homo's. I'm rarely visually offended by anything, even if I don't agree with it.

[Buckrub]

Mine too. But it was brought up on 'another site' and I was trying to inject a bit of humor into this old stodgy site that is always so serious.

:biggrin

Public schools are funded by the feds and state governments per student, so lower student counts do affect their funding to a point.
