    Mumbling fantastical unsupported gibberish is not helping your case.

    The DoJ looked into that.

    So, when will Trump apologize?

    And, when are you going to stop whining?

    No, it isn't. If anything, it's less. It takes considerable capitalist profit to fund the social programs they have.

    You have a very odd understanding of socialism, it must be said.

    No thanks. In both lawyers and doctors, I want savants.

    When the average American can't manage proper American English grammer and this is an internationally available message board focusing on real issues I'd say that's riiculous or even xenophobic.

    That's on parents. Any parent can choose to have a multi-lingual household.

    Do you live in such a nation? Because I do, and I assure you that job dissatisfaction exists here.

    Right. The Trump administration decided there wasn't a justification for charging Hillary with anything and YOU disagree!!!

    LOL!

    You are SUCH a whiner. And, Trump owes a very serious apology. His crowds are STILL calling to lock up Hillary, and that is personal damage done by Trump.

    In which case, why do so many parents do it?

    Absolutely and 90% of the facts on the GOP propaganda machine are deceitful and fake. Hundreds of phony scandals and characters assination about Democrats none of which have going anywhere in the real world. And never retracted of course. Also incredible amounts of misinformation the rich pay too much in taxes, global warming is a hoax, so many late-term abortions bologna. You name it. Imaginary immigration crisis OMG. Giving the Mideast and Libya to the Russians and the Turks, betraying the Kurds, Obama's economy was terrible and Trump's is wonderful and they are the same thing both bad except for the rich LOL etcetera etcetera etcetera you name it.

    Hey - at least you made it far enough to realize that placing all the blame on the kid is ridiculous.

    The next step is to think about what parents (including single paents) in poverty can reasonably accomplish in this regard.

    I never blame children. Not until they're at least 30.

    And I'm going to assume you're joking re what poor parents can achieve. Given that poor migrants and refugees (most who don't even speak English) have been educating their kids out of poverty since the 1970's. You and I both know that the poorest parents in America can ensure their kids are educated to the level of ivy league scholarships, if they choose to. It costs nothing but their time and focus. Public schools + public libraries + full and dedicated parental focus on education from day one = academic success. All free.

    They tried, but Obama didn't go for it.
    Two prominent Republican U.S. senators urged that the United States arm opposition forces in Syria Sunday as the government of Bashar al-Assad continued a bloody crackdown on the protests that have engulfed the nation.

    Yes, thinking one can learn a language by "education" is foolish since it is exposure and speaking that gains you fluency. This is also the reason children rarely learn a language in school - too much theory.

    In Denmark and Holland, they do not dub films and they consume loads of American pop culture; thanks to this everyday exposure, they gain fluency.

    Off topic, but dubbing is an abomination. Subtitled film/tv is vastly superior, in terms of both the end product .. and language immersion.

    This is not what is happening - and, that includes for long term Americans who are in poverty.

    You saying these things does NOT make it happen.

    My bet is he has less class than that.

    I'll bet he still leads his right wing brainless in the fundamental lie that Clinton has committed something worthy of prosecution.

    Yes, exactly. They are clearly choosing not to make it happen. If even one single family (and we both know that it's far more than that) can educate their kids out of poverty, it means the conditions exist in which it can happen.

    What does me saying people choose not to educate their kids have to do with the reality that people choose not to educate their kids?

    In the context of this forum, I would say there is little indication that an undergraduate degree or graduate degree provides an advantage in a political debate. Either one has a well reasoned argument or you don't.

    You saying it doesn't answer any question.

    There are basic requirements for that to happen, and it's common for those requirements to be absent.

    Frankly, I don't even know why you would bother to say that anyone can do it. It's crystal clear that it isn't true.

    The only real issue is what can be done about it, because improvement is clearly important to America.

    In theory, those with degrees have faced the necessity of both evaluating and creating argument in several different areas.

    Obviously, that doesn't mean nobody else can do it. But, in pretty much every area of human endeavor training and practice are important for success.
