For real! Being homeschooled is, like, worse than being black or mexican or even a gay!

I don't normally use emoticons, but :roll: .

I sure am glad the important facts made the subject line.

Huh? This doesn't make any sense. Also, apart from that, "less" should be "fewer" in your post.

Dude, your post made absolutely no sense at all. All I saw is that you are comparing being home schooled to race and sexual preference??? One is a choice, well a parents choice, the other you are born. I guess I fail to understand what you are trying to say.

most homeschooled kids are fine. the ones that do shit like this would have just as many, if not more, problems if they were in public school systems.

this headline reads like all of the "video games gave my daughter gonorrhea" headlines we've grown all too familiar with. nothing new here, just further marginalizing the already marginalized.

also, octopod, i think he means you're being a prick for no good reason. just a guess.

I'm saying that you and Beak are being rather ignorant. Yes, race is not a choice, and yes, homeschooling is a choice. That is irrelevant. The "yuk yuk stupid homeschoolers" bit is as ignorant as the race-based commentaries we all ridicule quite regularly.

Your guess is as good as any I suppose.

The two have absolutely nothing to do with one another but I guess it is convenient to lump stuff like that together when you wish to shut down opposition.

Edit: Should have just edited the last post, sorry about that.

Also, I apologize for this comment. I misunderstood where you were going with this and I got snarky.
