- I often wonder if we focused on reducing class sizes in the very earliest grades, if class size would be less of an issue in the higher grades. - TWuG Jul 28, 10:40 11
  - if parents could take a little bit of responsibility and raise decent children, then bigger class sizes (max 40) wouldn't matter. - CQ Jul 28, 10:50 2
    - it's not, but how much individual attention could you give 40 kids in a day? -- nm - Andie Jul 28, 10:55 1

        I can in middle/high school. -- nm - Strongbad Jul 28, 10:46
    - Wow. I can not imagine that. -- nm - Black Rabbit Jul 28, 10:42 1

boston.com Love Letters - Should I Wait For Him to be Ready? - Diva Jul 28, 10:27 18
- he needs to get over his issues before they can be a couple (if ever). no ultimatum needed but she needs to decide if she's willing to wait for him - chuckles Jul 28, 10:47

        I'm 90% kidding. -- nm - Remlik Jul 28, 11:06

Vermin...let me translate what Stewart was saying regarding breitbart. - Mel Profit Jul 28, 10:17 19
- Correct. - Dr.Vermin Jul 28, 10:24 18
  - So it's okay with you that he created and perpetrated a fraud? - TWuG Jul 28, 10:35 9
    - Posting out-of-context clips that cause ignorant overreaction is indeed wrong. - Dr.Vermin Jul 28, 10:42 8
      - Ah. You think Breibart is a much smarter, more clever person than I do. - TWuG Jul 28, 10:46
      - What a load of crap...Where is his journalistic intergity? - amoxy Jul 28, 10:46 3
        
        "hoping it would cause the reaction it did" Correct. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jul 28, 10:52
        
        I'd quibble on your last point - it should teach people in the media to not listen to anything Breitbart says. -- nm - Reagen Jul 28, 10:49 1
        
        OK agree with that -- nm - amoxy Jul 28, 10:52
      - "I killed a bunch of people only to show people that murder was wrong!" -- nm - Reagen Jul 28, 10:44 2
        
        Like capital punishment? Yeah, I'm still in favor of that too. - Dr.Vermin Jul 28, 10:45 1
        
        So Breitbart is the government in this? There's also the fact that his initial "reporting" called Sherrod a racist and said she should be fired. - Reagen Jul 28, 10:48
  - I think you're giving him far too much credit, personally. - znufrii Jul 28, 10:31
  - You've misinterpreted if you think Stewart doesn't think he's a villain. - Reagen Jul 28, 10:27 6
    - No. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jul 28, 10:30 5
      - well argued. -- nm - Reagen Jul 28, 10:30 4

- I did not read your IM but wanted you to know that your outer message seems like a pretty big spoiler. - Black Rabbit Jul 28, 10:06 11
  - Yeah, seems like a VERY big spoiler. -- nm - Black Rabbit Jul 28, 10:07 10
    - It's a movie about going into dreams. Dreams that can be dreamed by different people. It's worded very ambiguously and does not reveal stuff. -- nm - ceregon Jul 28, 10:08 9
      - I avoided all trailers before I saw this movie. The premise was all news to me. -- nm - ty97 Jul 28, 10:15 5
        
        Me too. I mean, I expect to get a little spoiled not going opening weekend (my dad was in town and could not go), but this seemed a big step past. -- nm - Black Rabbit Jul 28, 10:17 4
        
        I don't think it's as big a spoiler as you think it is. -- nm - Ender Jul 28, 10:19 3
        
        it's nice to not have plot specifics for something like this in outer messages, no matter what. - b. Jul 28, 10:30 1

      - See, I had no idea of that until just now. I had heard "dream" mentioned. That was all. - Black Rabbit Jul 28, 10:14 1
        
        What you think you know is incorrect. -- nm - ceregon Jul 28, 10:27
