  1. Exactly. A lot of people don't really start rasslin much until January, getting their weight under control and "beginning" the season with the dual season.
  2. Kind of a bad look for Deuce here, friends. Not the first time Deuce and several in the GOP have met with such people. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/f-ing-nightmare-trump-team-damage-control-dines-ye-white-supremacist-n-rcna58780
  3. I'd guess that it's still up in the air, but depending on who goes at 165 this year, I could see a pretty strong possibility.
  4. "If I were Tom Brands...." ...I'd smother that daughter in chocolate syrup and boogie till the cows come home.
  5. A link to the story. https://rokfin.com/article/6781/Panthers-Cap-Home-Dual-Attendance-West-Gym-Future-in-Doubt
  6. Good question; I don't know the answer to it, just that it is a cultural practice of native Aborigines. I first learned about it just a few years ago.
  7. The data isn't mine; I just provide links to it. With that said, care to tell me what's stupid about their data, sir? It's what is used as the go-to source for everything education, so I'd be curious what you know that those of us in da bidness don't know. Thanks in advance for any work that you can do for me!.

  9. As an FYI to those who've been to the West Gym, it is no longer the home of UNI rasslin. Due to its age, it's not up to building and safety code, looks to be too costly to get to code, so the McLeod Center is the new/ old home of UNI rasslin. Many may recall that we were rasslin in the McLeod, just after it opened during the Penrith years.
  10. That's not correct. In war time it's called "collateral damage," and an unfortunate, accepted consequence of war. In the U.S. it's called, " open up the schools, lift lockdown rules, mask policies, and open up the economy." In doing so, it's expected that innocent lives will be lost, but accepted, as money rules. Over one million Americans have died to date, and, certainly, many could have been avoided by sticking to what we were advised to do. Also in the U.S. it's called "capital punishment. " Even though we've had hundreds since the 70's that were released from death row after being found innocent, the death penalty still goes merrily along because the occasional "oops" is apparently worth it. Also in the U.S. we call it, "gun rights, " and thousands of innocent people die each year due to lax gun laws. If a few thousand innocent people die for our manufactured "rights," oh well, it's the " price of freedom. Finally, the Aborigines (sp?) in Australia take their elderly, dying family members into the outback and left to die. I could come up with a million more, but the pernt is is that there is no universal standard of " right and wrong," as it's dependent on cultural norms and values, and time, place, and situation.
  11. I'm not going to get too much into there current debate (abortion), but natural law is problematic, as it doesnt' really account for cultural variation across, and within, cultures. Using your example, killing another human isn't seen as universally wrong. Just take a gander at this forum to see our differing views of the death penalty to illustrate that, just within our own culture! Then, add in cross-cultural variation and our heads begin to spin.
  12. A few pernts of clarification for you. 1. So, you present me no data to counter what our data shows, yet you're correct? Again, I'll welcome actual research that counters what we've known for decades, but simply showing up to the party with no data, all the while proclaiming that you're right, won't cut it in our circles, my friend. 2. "Tricking my audience" was contained in the title of my research, "The Stupidity Epidemic," which showed that we've ALWAYS, even in the 50's, believed that generations that follow us are more "foolish" than we were as students. Again, the data has never borne that out. So, the title was the only "trick." 3. "Unfortunately." I used that because, unfortunately, for older folks who believe they know more than younger generations, our data does not reveal that. Keep in mind, I'm in my late 50's, so those fingers get pernted at me too. 4. Why, yes, my first link IS from nine years ago. Why? Because I said, longitudinally, test scores have done nothing but improve over time. That data goes back to the 70's to show the longitudinal trends. The second link brings us up to today, where, minus the COVID years, the same trend of improved scores continues. 5. Curious about the sources of data? I find THAT curious, given your expertise in everything eggacashun, yet aren't familiar with everyone's go to source for edurkation data. Have at it! https://nces.ed.gov/ 6.Civics!? Of course it's not taught, nor has it been for decades. Why, you ask? Because it's been "replaced" by U.S. Gubment, U.S. history, political science, etc. Just a re-branding, just like we no longer call it Home Economics, but by a variety of new terms.

  15. The day that Deuce Grifter proclaimed to the crowd in an interview that a woman who seeks an abortion should be prosecuted for her crime revealed immediately that pro-birth groups don't believe that abortion is murder. They immediately jumped in to correct Deuce by saying that, "us pro-birth people don't believe that. " I was happy to learn in those moments that pro-birth groups do not believe that abortion is murder/homicide.
  16. I find a ton of inconsistencies with many who claim to be "pro-life," which is why pro-birth is more fitting for the vast majority of them. I didn't need to look any further than right here in Iowa over the past two years to see those colors fully reveal themselves.
  17. I always welcome people to provide me data that would help me improve at my job, and it has the added bonus of me not having to do the work! So, if you have data that shows test scores declining over time (not just the COVID years; we know that and I've highlighted that), please provide it to me. I'll take a look at it and happily incorporate it into my work. So, search away for me, sir!
  18. Now THERE'S a deep thought, eh, friends?!
  19. Why, YES, you're right, sir! As the concept of free eggakashun has NEVER occurred, nor happened in Merica, has it, sir? Watch this, friends.
  20. Reported news bad...REALLY BAD! Who, what, where, when, why and how, wrong...VERY WRONG!
  21. Given the fact that the rasslin season doesn't really begin until January, my best advice would be to tune in later.
  22. Nah...nah. How in the world would you NOT like NPR!? Their journalists even show up on Tattletale "News" panels, for God's sake.
  23. One more great one from Ioway.
