Where are the guidelines about down voting orionblaster unfairly? I don't see those.
The guy was merely corroborating the original post, sharing some of the absurd things he was taught in school, and was downvoted for it. Doesn't seem like a very friendly thing to do to someone who's engaging in the discussion.
Shall we stand by mute while someone is bullied? Either that or be bullied ourselves for speaking up to stop it? If that's it, then I don't like your policies. I re-edit the post to conform to your policies. Then I'll show myself the door, thanks.
Why down vote someone essentially confirming what the main article claims? Are you down voters just too embarrassed by what is being taught in US public schools?
I for one am not surprised considering we still hear of fights by school boards to include bologna like "intelligent design" in school books right next to the theory of evolution.
Edit: Yes, do respond by down voting this post too. We wouldn't want to shatter your fragile but entirely false views of the world now, would we? "US is the best. US education is the pinnacle of the world! USA! USA! Woop woop!" ... Did I do it right? I can haz imaginary internet points nao? :P
Whatever happened to unlocking phones? There was a huge stink about that. Petitions were signed. Legislation then bogged down as it always does. After two years(!) congress finally passed something, but
"the unlocking exemption will only last until the Librarian of Congress's next rulemaking, scheduled to happen in 2015."
This would have been the time to reverse that decision, no? WTH is there no mention of the reversal of that decision? Does this mean we're right back to square one?
