Ad hominem ?

Do you have ANY other card in that deck ?
Click to expand...

An ad hominem to you is confusing you with facts, logic, and common sense. Noticed that you never respond to the direct facts I posted that are verifiable as you want to buy opinions of others but only those you want to believe. I don't think it is a personal attack suggesting someone learn civics and history because it was you that said that this country was built on Sanders programs when that couldn't be further from the truth. Our Founders created a PART TIME Govt. not full time and put the power at the states That isn't something Sanders supports nor does any liberal

No, if you don't know what ad hominem means, you should go look it up.

Your bizarre speculations are provably false. America has always believed in empowering in its citizens.

Which is what our Founders Created, empowering citizens at the state and local level where the power belongs. you want the power controlled at the federal level believing that a bureaucrat in DC will solve your social problems at the state and local level. That is lunacy. It was you that wants to send more of your own money in the form of Taxes to the Federal Govt. vs. spending it yourself directly to help people in your community. It is you that wants the Federal govt. to implement a nationwide education program rather than letting the states and local governments to control the education. That is what liberals like you do, delegate responsibility to someone else rather than taking that responsibility of working to solve your own local problems. All communities solving their own problems means less need for govt. bureaucrats spending and wasting money. Only a liberal believes a federal bureaucrat can spend your money more wisely and to greater benefit than you can do yourself. That is liberalism and couldn't be further from the vision of our Founders

It sounds like you either have absolutely no idea what you're talking about or you just don't care about other Americans.

I suggest you get someone else to read this to you because it makes total sense, something you don't do when you make statements like you have in this forum. You think a federal bureaucrat cares about other Americans more than you do? How does paying higher taxes to a federal bureaucrat mean more concern and care for other Americans? You think creating dependence shows concern for others or concern about keeping your job?

Sounds to me like you cannot respond to what I post so you continue to make statements that make no sense.

What are you talking about federal bureaucrats for ?

When your mailman comes by, do you scold them with, "you lazy, useless sack of **** government bureaucrat, get a job were you actually have to work !" ??

If a fireman carries you out of a burning building, saving your life, would you insult them by telling them, "you don't care about Americans! I care about Americans ! You should be fired!" ??

You just don't get it and probably never will, fire and police are paid for by the people of your city and state. The Post Office has nothing to do with charitable work and taking care of the poor. Are you ever going to respond to what is posted?

Do you think paying for more and better teachers qualifies as "paying higher taxes to a federal bureacrat," or were you erecting your own strawman ?

That isn't the role of the Federal Govt. That is a state responsibility? You don't seem to comprehend the size of this country, the size of the Federal Govt. now and the size you want it to be. I finally figured it out as to why you claim to be well off. From your posts it appears that you are very young and under the care of your parents. Am I right?

Why are you making speculations about who i am personally ? Is it because you have no semblance of an argument ?

The federal government need only secure the guarantee of equal public education for all Americans.

I'm not an expert on the commoncore math program, but the actual academic reviews of it seem to point at it being a good step forward. Just having a cursory reading of it, I know pretty well that it's a better program than what I was taught as a child. A lot of the techniques they now openly teach were things that I had to develop myself in my math courses, and when I tried to explain to other people how to do it, I got blank stares. It's pretty true that the reason people think math is so hard is because we have had a long educational culture that favored mathamagical explanations and wrote memorization, over the logical, deduction-based, creative approach to math. And this isn't purely academic, either, I can't do math (like tips or bills) the way I learned it in grade school. I pretty much use and think about things the way the commoncore does (I don't mean fancy things, I mean commonsense things like multiplying, dividing, etc). This, btw, was a stated goal

So the article I linked to before contains some of the reasons why commoncore is better at getting students to understand math rather than a bunch of wrote memorization (Although you still have to memorize a lot like the times tables, etc, that's all important and still in the commoncore). However, here's some additional articles that discuss the highlights and positives arguments for commoncore math. (Here, here, and here)


PS: To clarify, I'm a graduate student in theoretical physics. So math has had some, um, impact on my life, lol. At least when it comes to calculating and thinking about math, that I have decades of experience in the subject, including a LOT of tutoring people in calculus during undergrad and in grad school. I can tell you a lot of good and bad ways to think about math, and what I've read about commoncore all points, to me, that it's a much better way to teach and think about math.

Thanks for the links. I'm looking at them now.
