I have many old posts I will be sharing with everyone from time to time. The threads will be the type that shows how the left has changed from then to now. Like this one where we can clearly see that the left saw antisemitism everywhere. Where as today, the left has embraced antisemitism to the point the Democrats should start using the swastika (卐 or 卍) as the symbol of their party.

“”on Boston radio this morning that several Massachusetts high school students have refused to take state-mandated testing of literacy and basic skills””

Just a few weeks ago, Oregon announced there would no longer be a High School Exit Exam. Cannot read your diploma? Believe two plus two equals five?

No Worries!

Ping. I think you’ll appreciate this old thread. ARTH way back in the early days of FR.

I recall Bizarro from my grade school days when I read comic books. He was a character who looked and dressed just like Superman but acted like Superman on acid.

[OneVike]

Exactly, he was the anti-Superman.

What an example of how far public schools have fallen in some 20+ years.

L.N. Smithee - THERE’S a blast from the past.

[sopo]

Thank you very much for this!

Liberals are Ruprecht. Just run and run and run in circles while banging on pots for attention. The heck...

I believe my PC tower had a “turbo” button back in 1999. The “good” ole days.

[OneVike]

I will do just that. Thanks

[OneVike]

Yes I remember those. Things we forget, then when reminded of they become classic moments.

Oh yes, and not jus schools, but all of Society. I plan on working on an old thread from the 2020 primary race , when FReepers were divided between Bush and John McCain. To think we thought both were good guys. Here we are 24 years later and none of us have anything good to say about either of them.

[OneVike]

I meant the 2000 primary.

I need to slow down and read what I post, years get mixed up in my head so easily.

Ogh gosh you are right.

I had a tower that when I started it up, the HD would click and make a spinning sound. It was like trying to crank up an old jalopy that turned and turned and sputtered and sputtered until it finally started.

Eventually the HD locked up. Luckily I had backed it up and loaded things onto a slave. But it was a real busy that I was running Windows 95 on.
