When you 5x the amount of guys becoming plumbers because they now aren't going get their business degree at directional state schools, what does that do to the job market for plumbers?

That's a problem for tomorrow. Now it's $250 for a call to have a plumber just look at a problem, no work even done. We have a long way to go before we have too many plumbers.

Didn't the track team pick up a 27 year old freshman last year or something?

He seems like a great guy and very genuine. I don't trust the left though, and I worry for his safety.

There wouldn't be any high school teachers if they all had to spend 15-20 years after graduation teaching primary school first.

Not sure why the downvote, but it's true. The turnover rates in the lower grades is INSANE.

"The book" lol

This is the best trailer for the movie so far. I'm actually excited about it. I just hope my son is old enough to sit through a whole movie.

I'm thinking he's joking.

I see people arguing two different sides as if two things can't be true at the same time.

First, Israel probably doesn't care about Christian casualties among the Muslims because Israel only cares about western Christian money, and very little for Christianity in general. Many in Isreal, mostly the growing Orthodox sect, also consider Christianity a threat to the Jewish people and want preaching the gospel to be illegal in Israel and have advanced legislation (that has currently been shot down) to make it so.

Israel also has to deal with real existential threats, and they can only use a scalpel so often. Contrary to the arm-chair generals online, real Israelis are dying from attacks from Hezbollah, and they essentially function as an insurgency when attacking Israel. There are limitations on what you can do when your enemy looks like a civilian. I assure you Israel isn't sitting around with an acceptable number of deaths before taking action.

That being said, Lebanon is culpable for not dealing with the problem. They can be eradicating Hezbollah and increasing political ties with Israel and the West. Instead, they are letting a UN who has super limited combat ability patrol southern Lebanon instead of dealing with the issue themselves. It's BS, and they are not stepping up to protect their own citizens. "Peacekeeping" missions that refuse to actually combat terrorists are worthless.

Basically, taking a side and not admitting that it isn't black and white is just intellectual dishonesty. This is way more complex than Israel or Hezbollah bad, though Israel is at least trying to operate as a nation and Hezbollah is just masquerading as a political party.
