Is Public Education welfare?

Look....I just explained myself on post #443.

And the fact is I just remembered we don't even move our clocks at 12 Midnight anymore.

I was trying to explain something in great detail and I should have used Military Tim to begin with.

But just know this.

When a person say's.....Sunday at Midnight.....like YOU did.....this means either 2400 Hours Sunday or 0000 Hours Monday.

It does NOT mean 0000 hours Sunday nor does it mean 2400 hours Saturday......as YOU said.....

......we set the clocks at 12 Midnight on Sunday......we don't.....and even if we still did set our clocks at Midnight....it would be MIDNIGHT SATURDAY 2400 HOURS.

NOT Midnight Sunday as YOU said.....which is actually 12 AM or 0000 Hours Monday.

Everyone got me now???

AMY.....FROM YOUR POST #435.

Quote...."The clock is pushed forward or back Sunday, midnight."...end quote GeorgiaAmy.


Again you are saying the clock is pushed forward or back SUNDAY MIDNIGHT!!

THIS IS WHAT YOU SAID!!!

SUNDAY MIDNIGHT......IS....SUNDAY 2400 HOURS.....or MONDAY 0000 HOURS.

THIS IS WRONG!!!

The clocks were pushed back or forward at SATURDAY MIDNIGHT....or SATURDAY 2400 HOURS...OR SUNDAY 0000 HOURS!!!


YOU WERE WRONG....NOT ME!!!

You were the one asking me a question to see if I was American and you not only were wrong about the day and time.....


YOU ALSO DID NOT KNOW THAT.....clocks change at 2:00 a.m. local time. In spring, clocks spring forward from 1:59 a.m. to 3:00 a.m.; in fall, clocks fall back from 1:59 a.m. to 1:00 a.m. In the EU, clocks change at 1:00 a.m. Universal Time. In spring, clocks spring forward from 12:59 a.m. to 2:00 a.m.; in fall, clocks fall back from 1:59 a.m. to 1:00 a.m.

SO.....maybe it is YOU that is not American!!!!

LOL!!!!

11:59PM is the end of one day and 12AM begins the next. 12 midnight Sunday happens when you go to sleep Saturday night.
I'd COMPLETELY expect you'd know how things in the EU work.

Could you be more specific? Explain the transaction?

LOL!!!

I pull up with my convertible to the gas pump and get out....swipe the card....select credit or debit....chose the octane....then I put the hose nozzle in the gas tank fill after removing the cap and you have to hold it down so that you have a vapor lock....and squeeze the handle and fill the damn car!!!

You can not be this dumb. LOL

 

Yea...she could

 

Guy's....as crazy as this sounds it isn't that she does not know the answers to her own questions.

Believe it or not she was questioning whether I was actually an American and that is why she asked those questions as to see if I could answer them correctly.

AA

 

She has the answers (most of the time) it's just the way she expresses herself leaves me scratching my head.

She has this fixation about people 'pretending' to be American when they are not. For what reason would anyone pretend to be American? I think she even started a thread on this a while back.

 

Why they do, I don't know. That is what interests me.
You cannot fathom the absurdity of what many posters here claiming to be American post. If any non Americans were to quiz me on their culture, technology, medicine, education, transportation, racial dynamic, etc..I'd sound extraordinarily ignorant trying to discuss it.
Perhaps it's a phenomenon neither of us gets, Lizard.

 

It's just that America and Americanism is better known in other countries than other country's culture etc is known in America. I find Americans generally ignorant of anything outside America. One thing America does well is export its culture.

 

We aren't really interested unless we plan to travel there.
Whatever culture or business America spreads is self interested. It certainly isn't benevolence. If other countries don't like it, perhaps they should resist.

 

No more ignorant than anybody else. It's fun to laugh at fat and stupid americans, but ask a european to name an american food, and they'll start talking about german food.

 

I've got some ocean front property in Arizona.

 

I don't think there is a uniquely American food unless you're talking about Bison stew.

 

When colleges allow students with inferior grades in, and keep out smarter students, like they do, Its not only welfare, but its the dumbing down of America. It screws our country... But it helps minorities.

 

Fried green tomatoes, sweet tea, corn bread, pork skins, dressing. Bison isn't commonly served here unless you're getting a bison burger at Ted's Montana Grill. Maybe you meant Brunswick stew.
Lizard, why aren't you talking about your own things rather than trying to describe ours?

Do you have a specific college you'd like to critique?

 

Why are you trying to hamper my freedom of speech and expressing an opinion?

 

Express any ignorant notion you care to. Don't get butt hurt when you're made a fool for doing so on a public forum.

 

You've never heard of lamb fries? There are many distinctly American foods that are American because of the ingredients used. For example, you'd have a very hard time cooking a traditional thanksgiving dinner using local ingredients anywhere outside of north America. Then there are different types of food such as soul food, cajun, and everything made from corn.

The same is true of food in other countries, for example spaghetti is only Italian because of the ingredients grown in Italy. It's actually from China. I believe that Pizza is derived from unleavened bread with some spices to give it flavor. The tea that the english love so much is actually from China, and the most original thing to come out of france, other than eating snails is the venerable french fry.

 

The lambs fry I'm aware of is lamb's liver fried in butter. Lamb is the national meat of Australia.

Durum wheat (which pasta is made from) has also been grown in Asia for centuries and North Africa also. The idea of the 'noodle' was brought back to Europe by Marco Polo.

The Hamburger was named after a ship not the German city.

The French Fry is actual Belgium not French. It's just that a couple of American servicemen got a bit confused where they were during WWI.

 

Lamb fries are sheep testicles.

Exactly, which is why it's so hard to name something as distinctly from a particular region, even though there is a big difference between chinese noodles and spaghetti.

I'm not sure about that. I read that it has to do with the port of Hamburg. Regardless, the idea of eating ground up meat with spices is far older than the name.

Yes, but it's fun to twist the knickers of the french. They're so easily offended, as opposed to Americans who don't care if we get called names.

 

I was born in Hamburg, just sayin'.

German immigrants in the early 20th century were sailing from Germany to the US. They used to eat ground beef between slices of bread. The ship was called the Hamburg. That's what I read a while back.
