I'm never excited when the public schools lose a good teacher.

Let me know where and I will be sure to send my kid to your classes...ummm, now I have to go and have a kid!!

kddanni - thank you for the kind service announcement, I seriously had no idea about the enter key and Geekypenguin, thank you ever sooooo much for the kind words!! What, you run one GCer off the board so now you have to fix on another poor sucker???

And on a side note, Chideltjen, like I said earlier I agree that it is a good thing to know a second language. However, I don't think that it should be listed as a plus that you are bilingual,especially if you are applying to a retail job. Now, if you are in international business, than by all means learn all the languages that you can!! Just my opinion.

*steps in*

The United States is not a Christian nation by signed law, early in its existence.

"As the government of the United States of America is not in any sense founded on the Christian Religion, - as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion or tranquility of Musselmen, - and as the said States never have entered into any war or act of hostility against any Mehomitan nation, it is declared by the parties that no pretext arising from religious opinions shall ever produce an interruption of the harmony existing between the two countries."

- Treaty of Tripoli, Article 11
Ratified by the United States, June 10, 1797

Now... if you want to discuss the culture of the United States, sure... we're a Christian Nation. And a Jewish Nation... and Muslim... and Pagan... and Atheist... and every-other-brand-of-faith-that-exists-in-the-world nation.

The whole legal "America is a Christian Nation" crap is a MUCH more recent development.

Obviously you have no sense of humor

Seriously though, I would've liked to have read what you had to say, but reading your post gave me a headache and I couldn't follow what you were saying. Sorry if this was construed as attempting to run you off the board. Not sure why you want to make yourself a victim here.

And please explain how anyone ran anyone off of the board. If someone refuses to answer tough questions asked of them when they make wild assertions, then they ran themselves off the board.

I ran someone off the board? WTF?

Hi, my name is Kathleen and I'm a bully.

I love how you're always running people off the board. It's like you're the GC sheriff. They fight the law -- and the law wins!

Personal accountability, people. Nobody runs anybody off the board -- they choose to leave. Taking responsibility for your actions instead of blaming them on someone else is a great thing.

It would be fantastic if we actually COULD run people off the board. I'll be all over that.

Was well aware of it, as I've made a few tortes in my time.

It was the whole play on words thing...
