Propaganda outlined nicely in red 
A committee in the Oklahoma legislature voted to outlaw public schools from using state funds to offer Advanced Placement history courses on Tuesday, arguing that the coursework for AP U.S. History is unpatriotic.
Creating a replacement test would cost $3.8 million dollars, but Republican state Rep. Dan Fisher argued that it’s necessary because the AP coursework teaches “what is bad about America.”
The bill—passed along partisan lines in a House legislative committee – will head to the larger state House for a vote. While the bill only targets the U.S. history course, it could have implications for all the state’s Advanced Placement courses.
In the wake of conservative states’ rebellion against the Obama administration-pushed Common Core educational standard, the bill marks the latest state effort to buck nationalized education standards and the latest attempt for lawmakers to rewrite history coursework to be more to their liking.
AP courses and their corresponding tests are devised and administered by the College Board, a private, national organization that also administers standardized tests like the SAT. The courses allow students to undergo challenging coursework that can result in college credit and helps students bolster their college applications. Public schools aren’t required to offer them and they aren’t required for students.
Other conservatives tied the AP coursework to the Common Core, which the state repealed late last year. During discussion of the bill, Republican state Rep. Sally Kern argued that the AP courses should have lost their funding under the bill that repealed Common Core, because it granted all control of the state’s schools to the state and only the state. She said she’s asked the Attorney General to weigh in.
A spokesman for the College Board told a local paper the Republican critiques of the College Board and its AP classes were “mythology and not true.” So you just highlight random things and call it propaganda?
Ok guy.
If your so naive that you believe that news articles aren't written specifically and articulately to sway opinion and portray hidden and intended meaning, you're a fucking idiot. A naive fucking ignorant idiot. Don't even talk to me.
arguing that the coursework for AP U.S. History is unpatriotic. How is that propaganda if that's the argument they're using?

Damn! That is way too long for any purchase. What state?
NJ
I feel for you man.
According to my LegalHeat app.. that state isn't very gun friendly. Surprisingly, its rated even worse than California in terms of Open Carry laws. 0_o. While Concealed Carried, they are rated the same.
Jersey is worse than LOLKOMMIFORNIA?!
LOL
A 72 year old man was just arrested in New Jersey and charged with felony weapons possession. His crime? He had a flint lock pistol, unloaded, in the glove box. He faces 10 years in prison, and I believe NJ has a mandatory 5 year sentence for any weapons charge.
Yes, I read the story. I think it's funny that people shit on California all the time for our gun laws, but then this shit happens.
It's because nobody cares about Jersey.
But you guys... you guys elect Feinstein to congress. Your shit affects all of us.
Sorry about that. I've voted against her every time I could.

I think I'm going to immigrate to another country illegally and demand benefits and expect to be a citizen without going through the correct process. This plan will surely work.. only in America.
At least you acknowledge you don't know what's going on here.
I did?
I live in a border state, so I experience this BS first hand.
And so do I, but that's not the point. I was talking about the executive order. The order doesn't give benefits and citizenship to currently-illegal immigrants.

Who dafuq is rose?
An account that would make way too easy Bait threads relating to gay marriage. politics, etc. back on old Bnet.
The account would always get banned and once that happened, the user would make another Rose account. The account would be named Rose again but have another word in it, the word was always something relating to an emotion of some sort then repeat the same cycle.
This was the avatar that the Rose user would always use.
yeah, then he moved on from the naming convention and just used nonsense words, Greek letters/words, etc. I can't tell you how many Delta users I have PMs from.
The content of the messages and posts were always the same though
I wonder if there was more then one Rose
unless there was massive coordination to use the same style and insults, I highly doubt it.
His style was pretty easy to imitate..
it's not the difficulty of style copying, it's the scale and frequency at which it was done that leads me to believe it wasn't multiple people.

That guy must've collectively spent days making Microsoft accounts, because he had so many fucking alts. It was ridiculous.

From what I remember Rose used proxies/VPNs for each alt that was banned here, if Rose had a main I think it was probably just *Rose* or Crimson or whichever name came first <.<
Are there many other members that use those?
There are quite a few accounts that use them here, yeah.
that's...worrying.

 What would you do to such a sexy car to make it yours? Would you keep it the same in all its classic glory or would you make it unique to you? Would you make it entirely impractical but sexy looking? Me? I would put a matte black spoiler on it, polish the slide to a mirror finish, polish the hood and roof, put some carbon fiber mirrors on it, give it new headlights, and put a new coil-overs on it with a magnaflow exhaust attached, and to top it all off I'd put a 1500 watt sound system in the thing just cause.

Is that...a lady green arrow?
Her name's Artemis Crock.
She used to be Green Arrow's protege.
Ah. My only knowledge of the Green Arrow has come from watching the show, which I know takes some creative liberties from the comics. It has piqued my interest in getting to know the stories and characters in the comic, though. I'm borrowing some from a friend soon.
