[Hope for the Republic]

We have a somewhat crude expression in my profession. In my profession when something appears to be working we **immediately** study it to find out why or possibly why it might not be. We are “all over it like flies on s***t!”

Sir, please don't use "crude" language with me. I was an officer and still am a gentleman.

If what you say is true then why haven't the home schoolers done/ sponsored studies to prove their worth. Please remember that I asked you for the evidence, and it is up to you to provide it or with draw your comments,if you can't provide this information.

Uh?...Maybe because they are just moms and pops without bottomless pits of taxpayer money?

Please don’t call me, “Sir”. You aren’t my servant.

“Sir” is so upper class English and Continental. What? ??

If I were to meet you in person would you expect me to address you by your last name without using the title Miss, Mrs. or Mr.? ( As in, “Republic”,please brew my tea! Make sure it is Earl Grey!” )

Wintertime did and you blew it off as being biased.

Make up your mind, will you?

Get off your high horse. You won't believe the studies because you don't want to, as you've already demonstrated.

You "SIR" are the last one who should be whining about others languages. For all the gentleman facade you put up on this thread, your posting history tells a different story.

Does "cr@p" ring a bell?

You are a hypocrite through and through. You have shown no integrity in your discussion here or your whining about what kind of language others are using.

Please note this, mr. noob..... that doesn't go over well here on FR.
