You may laugh, but we are always shocked on our UK visits at the prices of “normal” toilet paper in the UK. In Germany, we pay ca. 2.20 Euros for 10x four-layer packs. In the UK , it’s about 4x as expensive !
So really, the cashmere version is pretty cheap !

Good decision. You don’t need education in an O-banana Republic. They should go even further. Abolish ALL education and replace it by Mickey Mouse. It’s a clear sign of the beginning of a third world country. Eliminate education, Keep em dumb and stupid. We must fight against Al-CIA-aida. Don’t forget. You for 100 years of perpetual wars.

Public education in USA is designed to make people dumb and stupid. Hold em in unnatural same age groupings and fill em full of mindwarpingly stupid propaganda. Pump out an endless parade of authority compliant “consumers’ incapable of critical thinking, and happy to “participate” in their government by voting for Republicrats.
Utah, and all the other states would be a lot better off if they disbanded this universal “Hitler Youth” program. People don’t need school, they need education and there is precious little of that going on in the massive day-prisons America calls schools.
You could replace the school by Obamamatalibanana camps. Are there a lot of FEMA camps in Utah ? No need for education in a country wiht 30% unemployment. Coming soon.
It’s presently 22,2% based on ShadowStats. It’s true. Waste of money. Better to send them in Iran to kill and get killed. Better Golman Sachs allocation of the United Slaves cattle.
I don’t know it it is the same as when I went to school in the 70′s but in Quebec you finished High school in Secondaire 5 (grade 11). If you wanted to go to university it was two years at CEGEP. If you wanted a trade you went to technical college right after high school. So I guess it is all the way to 13 if you want a so called higher education.

This is what happens when you condone fraudelant behaviour by Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan by bailing them out with precious taxpayer money; you make the United Sates complicit in economic warfare against Greece.
No one has the right to sell a [financial] product that has no underlying value like a gambling bet or derivative.
The Federal Reserve’s own website admits that Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan has more then 200 trillion in nominal/worthless derivatives and credit-default swaps on their balance sheets.
Those swaps includes massive amounts of sovreign debt, like that of Dubai and Greece and Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan have every intention of cashing in on all that worthless debt.
Folks, this goes beyond just ‘clawing back’ what they stole from taxpaers @AIG, it’s a matter of national security for the United States, Greece and the entire world to SHUT DOWN these parasite maggot banksters like Goldman Sachs. – SHUT DOWN GOLDMAN SACHS NOWWWW!!!!!!
Re: the Republican idea of cutting 12h grade, fact is that kids today are NOT ready for the real world at 17 or at 18. 20 or 22 is more like it thanks to a corrosive commercialized culture and parents who no longer think it’s their job to teach their kids how to function in the world.
13. Bad luck. Sometimes for what people learn at school, I really think sometimes it’s not worth i ? Nobody teaches the students how to learn with passion and stay curious all their lives.
They should learn first how to ask questions, how to reason and how to tnink by themselves. Less and less autodidacts today and free spirits. We wil have to go back to basics. More of Socrate and less of damn demonic USA TV and video games. The lack of general culture is horrendous accross the world.
CEGEP Collège d’enseignement général et d’études professionnelles.
In theory it’s a good model. In practice even 13 years produces morons.
The problem ? That nasty nasty american electronic TV/Hollywood culture and absent parents too occupied divorcing or working. Education is a whole. It’s not just the number of years that counts. Most parents don’t read or read minimally junk. Huge plasma TV screens and no books in the house. That’s the main culprit of modern ignorance and the face of fascism.
@ Phil – Teacher salaries at the high school average $72-78k. Apparently 50% of the students at the school are failing all of their classes, and the graduation rate is also under 50%. In an effort to turn the school around, the superintendent requested some changes be made whereby the school day would be slightly extended, teachers would perform some extra tutoring, etc.
The union balked and refused the terms, so now she is firing the entire teaching staff of the high school and replacing them. This is yet another example of unions digging their own graves by refusing to negotiate or accept reasonable terms.
OMG, this Jason guy is a fucking dick! Did he consider that the most likely scenario is that the teachers would NOT be compensated for spending even MORE time with kids and doing even MORE work? No, because the easiest thing for people who have NO IDEA of what teaching actually entails is to blame teachers and unions for the failures of society and parents. Sorry, but extending the school day and spending more time tutoring will not help erase POVERTY.

so Alex ‘nose bleeder’ Jones is gonna have another break down in an hour… damn is he having them to schedule now!!! just sounds like another hoax to me… didn’t he learn anything from the charlie sheen debacle!!!
@Youri. mish seems to lay blame on the public sector and i agree but he never seems to talk about goldylocks or big government. think the change should start at the top and work it’s way down. pensions are investments i believe. who did the investing and at what cost? could never understand these big gains when the fundamentals weren’t there. unions are good to some degree but have gone to far.
Now here’s how it works. The Nazis neo-cons started to predict that Obama would finish assasinated like Kennedy by a 911 truther. It’s not Alex Jones who spoke about it first. It’s Gleen Beck that Rupert Murdoch neo-con USA nazi. The threat is coming directly from the neo-con USA nazis working for the arm’s business and the Pentagon that want a new war this time in Iran.
It wouldn’t the first that the scumbags running the CIA and the Pentagon kill a president. You should be scared of Gleen Beck and that australian piece of manure nazi running Fox Media.
Alex Jones is not announcing it. It’s Gleen Beck and FOX TV, the neo-con US neo-nazi media that is floating the scenario of an assination à la JFK for Obama. Not Alex Jones but the war mongers at FOX TV.
@Y’all
Obama had plots against his life even before he became the Prez, predicting what america or americans are gonna do next is hardly rocket science… they continually go around in circles, seemingly doomed to repeat past mistakes for eternity or the day they blow us all to oblivion!!! … er if somebody predicted a president that wasn’t gonna have an assasination attempt made on him for once, then er, maybe I might be impressed!!!
That was interesting, Sealy is just down the road from here. I did not know about BAE operating out of there. Thought all they did was mattresses for beds.
“But how about the Afghan people themselves: how do they judge our presence in their country? It was encouraging to come accross the latest opinion poll commissioned by the German TV network ARD, and their American and British counterparts ABC and BBC. Surprisingly and unfortunately, the poll was not able to garner much attention in the media, therefore hardly influencing the public debate. However, it is indeed worth a closer look.
The project was conducted with field work by the Afghan Center for Social and Opinion Research. It was the broadest and most thorough study since the US-led invasion in 2001. All interviews were conducted in person by Afghan researchers. Women spoke to women and men to men. The opinion poll team interviewed 1,377 individuals in all 34 provinces of Afghanistan. The figures portray a surprisingly positive picture: a strong majority of Afghans approve of NATO-led troops being present in their country, and most Afghans are relatively hopeful about their personal future. Our assistance is broadly accepted throughout the country. The US and its allies are perceived as helpful. Even the US forces enjoy a very good reputation, indeed better than in most other Islamic countries. The result contradicts the rather negative and bleak outlook articulated by a substantial portion of the media, and even some relief organizations.”
Very, Very deep & well said. However, as to his solution ? It’s not logical, or easy to implement, as most people will stick their heads in the sand, or are living in day-to-day- survival-mode. Consumer habits can be harder kick then heroin, that’s middle-America’s mantra, this is how we have been trained to do or how-to-live ( thanks to Corp. America ).
If this is the only-solution, it would have to be a free-will-practice of “social-conditioning” … not to mention corporate America will not let that fly ( as they advertise “buy-one get-one free” or, ” new & improved ” & our leaders will say “spend in order to save your country”. Ha! if you don’t, we will pass a Law! Ha Ha Ha!
If by chance, it should-come to practice, we won’t see it in our-life-time or with our current or up-coming generation’s habits.
All-in-all, it was a well said observation of the state we are in, but nothing-intelligent or Pulitzer on solutions.
Will the EU membership only include “Old Europe”–the Western European and Scandinavian countries? Will aristocratic racism spread across Europe like mayonaise? Why are the ‘piigs’ referred to as the ‘periphery’?

Because the PIIGS are periphery. No problem, Soon ALL of Europe and the USA will be periphey anyways. The G7 only produces today government worlkers and unemployed or burger flipers, and freakin banksters. Yes there is a little bit of racism. Unjustified. Germany will soon be experiencing the same thing as USA when China starts exporting massively cars at a third of the german production costs in Europe.
@SG:
Either Americans are barbarians, or Americans are predictable. I’m sure that America is so representative of such a diverse population that such a declaration borders on the absurd.
But congratulations on making ‘a point’ today, albeit a weak and rather inconsequential one. American presidents are popped off by foreign banking fronts, as a general rule.
Periphery from what, Marc? From the imperialist star-ship empire font from Charlemagne’s horse’s wet dreams? Are we all soon to be privy to those aspirations as ‘global citizens’?
China wants their currency included in the sdr basket. They are hardly functioning in a unilateral way.
How sublime! A wee bit of racism, like a wee bit of sugar on our daily oatmeal. Nothing specific, rather generic: one can’t expect old ideas to die out even after centuries!

Ah, the blessings of public schooling. Your hard-earned money being, at gunpoint, slushed off to the ongoing project of brainwashing kids. So why doesn’t Utah scrap public schooling altogether? It hasn’t done them much good. It’s doing no one much good.

They need to scrap public school period along with the FED,
The only way to ‘end the fed’, Chalcie, is for the US to withdraw from the G20. The idea of public school was to provide equal education to minorities: how would you see the future of minority education without public schools? Bill Gates is pulling to replace public schools in the US with publically funded charter schools. The accountability would be transferred from local to federal.

No one has the right to sell a [financial] product that has no underlying value like a gambling bet or derivative.
The Federal Reserve’s own website admits that Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan has more then 200 trillion in nominal/worthless derivatives and credit-default swaps on their balance sheets.
Those swaps includes massive amounts of sovreign debt, like that of Dubai and Greece and Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan have every intention of cashing in on all that worthless debt.
Folks, this goes beyond just ‘clawing back’ what they stole from taxpaers @AIG, it’s a matter of national security for the United States, Greece and the entire world to SHUT DOWN these parasite maggot banksters like Goldman Sachs. – SHUT DOWN GOLDMAN SACHS NOWWWW!!!!!!

Re: the Republican idea of cutting 12h grade, fact is that kids today are NOT ready for the real world at 17 or at 18. 20 or 22 is more like it thanks to a corrosive commercialized culture and parents who no longer think it’s their job to teach their kids how to function in the world.
@
13. Bad luck. Sometimes for what people learn at school, I really think sometimes it’s not worth i ? Nobody teaches the students how to learn with passion and stay curious all their lives.
They should learn first how to ask questions, how to reason and how to tnink by themselves. Less and less autodidacts today and free spirits. We wil have to go back to basics. More of Socrate and less of damn demonic USA TV and video games. The lack of general culture is horrendous accross the world.

In theory it’s a good model. In practice even 13 years produces morons.
The problem ? That nasty nasty american electronic TV/Hollywood culture and absent parents too occupied divorcing or working. Education is a whole. It’s not just the number of years that counts. Most parents don’t read or read minimally junk. Huge plasma TV screens and no books in the house. That’s the main culprit of modern ignorance and the face of fascism.
@ Phil – Teacher salaries at the high school average $72-78k. Apparently 50% of the students at the school are failing all of their classes, and the graduation rate is also under 50%. In an effort to turn the school around, the superintendent requested some changes be made whereby the school day would be slightly extended, teachers would perform some extra tutoring, etc.
The union balked and refused the terms, so now she is firing the entire teaching staff of the high school and replacing them. This is yet another example of unions digging their own graves by refusing to negotiate or accept reasonable terms.
OMG, this Jason guy is a fucking dick! Did he consider that the most likely scenario is that the teachers would NOT be compensated for spending even MORE time with kids and doing even MORE work? No, because the easiest thing for people who have NO IDEA of what teaching actually entails is to blame teachers and unions for the failures of society and parents. Sorry, but extending the school day and spending more time tutoring will not help erase POVERTY.

Now here’s how it works. The Nazis neo-cons started to predict that Obama would finish assasinated like Kennedy by a 911 truther. It’s not Alex Jones who spoke about it first. It’s Gleen Beck that Rupert Murdoch neo-con USA nazi. The threat is coming directly from the neo-con USA nazis working for the arm’s business and the Pentagon that want a new war this time in Iran.
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389×6290650
It wouldn’t the first that the scumbags running the CIA and the Pentagon kill a president. You should be scared of Gleen Beck and that australian piece of manure nazi running Fox Media.
Alex Jones is not announcing it. It’s Gleen Beck and FOX TV, the neo-con US neo-nazi media that is floating the scenario of an assination à la JFK for Obama. Not Alex Jones but the war mongers at FOX TV.

“But how about the Afghan people themselves: how do they judge our presence in their country? It was encouraging to come accross the latest opinion poll commissioned by the German TV network ARD, and their American and British counterparts ABC and BBC. Surprisingly and unfortunately, the poll was not able to garner much attention in the media, therefore hardly influencing the public debate. However, it is indeed worth a closer look.
The project was conducted with field work by the Afghan Center for Social and Opinion Research. It was the broadest and most thorough study since the US-led invasion in 2001. All interviews were conducted in person by Afghan researchers. Women spoke to women and men to men. The opinion poll team interviewed 1,377 individuals in all 34 provinces of Afghanistan. The figures portray a surprisingly positive picture: a strong majority of Afghans approve of NATO-led troops being present in their country, and most Afghans are relatively hopeful about their personal future. Our assistance is broadly accepted throughout the country. The US and its allies are perceived as helpful. Even the US forces enjoy a very good reputation, indeed better than in most other Islamic countries. The result contradicts the rather negative and bleak outlook articulated by a substantial portion of the media, and even some relief organizations.”
Helpful?

Very, Very deep & well said. However, as to his solution ? It’s not logical, or easy to implement, as most people will stick their heads in the sand, or are living in day-to-day- survival-mode. Consumer habits can be harder kick then heroin, that’s middle-America’s mantra, this is how we have been trained to do or how-to-live ( thanks to Corp. America ).
If this is the only-solution, it would have to be a free-will-practice of “social-conditioning” … not to mention corporate America will not let that fly ( as they advertise “buy-one get-one free” or, ” new & improved ” & our leaders will say “spend in order to save your country”. Ha! if you don’t, we will pass a Law! Ha Ha Ha!
If by chance, it should-come to practice, we won’t see it in our-life-time or with our current or up-coming generation’s habits.
All-in-all, it was a well said observation of the state we are in, but nothing-intelligent or Pulitzer on solutions.

Will the EU membership only include “Old Europe”–the Western European and Scandinavian countries? Will aristocratic racism spread across Europe like mayonaise? Why are the ‘piigs’ referred to as the ‘periphery’?
@Y’ALL
in fact not many people realise most americans are so predictable and regular in their behaviour, that you can actually set your watches by them… I know I have quite a few times!!!
@Snoot
Because the PIIGS are periphery. No problem, Soon ALL of Europe and the USA will be periphey anyways. The G7 only produces today government worlkers and unemployed or burger flipers, and freakin banksters. Yes there is a little bit of racism. Unjustified. Germany will soon be experiencing the same thing as USA when China starts exporting massively cars at a third of the german production costs in Europe.
@SG:
Either Americans are barbarians, or Americans are predictable. I’m sure that America is so representative of such a diverse population that such a declaration borders on the absurd.
But congratulations on making ‘a point’ today, albeit a weak and rather inconsequential one. American presidents are popped off by foreign banking fronts, as a general rule.
Periphery from what, Marc? From the imperialist star-ship empire font from Charlemagne’s horse’s wet dreams? Are we all soon to be privy to those aspirations as ‘global citizens’?
China wants their currency included in the sdr basket. They are hardly functioning in a unilateral way.
little bit of racism
How sublime! A wee bit of racism, like a wee bit of sugar on our daily oatmeal. Nothing specific, rather generic: one can’t expect old ideas to die out even after centuries!
Reginald, the periphery seem to be at those pears again. Do something.
Well, Angela, what would you have me do?
Shoot them. What good are they? They’re piigs! Problems, problems, always cause problems: lazy and indolent beings.
Yes, rather. Did you say if we had grapefruit? I fancy some.
Happy idiots on the local news touting how sales of high-end luxury yachts at the Coconut Grove Boat and Art Show is a sign of a recovering economy. Brief mention is made of how the mid-range market for boats is not doing so well.

Ah, the blessings of public schooling. Your hard-earned money being, at gunpoint, slushed off to the ongoing project of brainwashing kids. So why doesn’t Utah scrap public schooling altogether? It hasn’t done them much good. It’s doing no one much good.

They need to scrap public school period along with the FED,
The only way to ‘end the fed’, Chalcie, is for the US to withdraw from the G20. The idea of public school was to provide equal education to minorities: how would you see the future of minority education without public schools? Bill Gates is pulling to replace public schools in the US with publically funded charter schools. The accountability would be transferred from local to federal.
