 [11:33]  oh guys [11:33]  did you hear [11:33]  A big blade xD [11:33]  he already has his 2020 slogan [11:33]  Keep America Great. [11:34]  So original. Such inspiration. :p [11:34]  Funny thing is that's was said in the horror movie Purge. :p [11:34]  The movie about all crime being legal for one day. :p [11:35]  She's expecting some violence to be inflicted on protestors. [11:36]  by the people shouting "TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP!" no doubt :P [11:36]  I know a family who ran things that way. They made almost nothing against the rules. The kids had no bed time, they got sweets whenever they wanted, didn't hve to do chores or homework... eventually the kids got bored with no rules to break and started being good. Amazingly theu turned out fine xD [11:36]  as a Whitehall correspondent in the UK said it's going to be "quite a spectacle" [11:37]  yeah my parents basically had no rules [11:38]  Nice. Mine were quite strict [11:38]  they have rules for my younger brother though :P [11:38] <BusyCityGirl> :p [11:39] <Roddy15> the getting sweets thing used to be common until the recession for us :P [11:40] <Lunaicus> mine were like pretty chill [11:40] <BusyCityGirl> Ah yep [11:41] <Roddy15> right now we are living on pasta and bagels [11:41] <BusyCityGirl> I feel like if sweets really shouldn't be treated as a big deal [11:41] <Roddy15> until payday next thursday :P [11:42] <BusyCityGirl> That sounds tight [11:42] <Roddy15> that's ireland for you :P [11:42] <Lunaicus> sweets arent for me, i try to make them last tho [11:42] <BusyCityGirl> Wb o/ [11:42] <Jahchildren> That's family of 7 for ya too. :P [11:42] <Wertys761> o/ [11:42] <Roddy15> well we're a family of 4 :P [11:43] <Roddy15> and 2 dogs, a rabbit and some hens :P [11:44] <Riolu777> i remember the chef boyardee days [11:44] <Riolu777> when the recession hit [11:44] <Wertys761> Hey Rio o/ [11:44] <Riolu777> and we stocked up on those cans of ravioli [11:44] <Roddy15> canned pasta? [11:44] <Roddy15> canned....pasta? [11:44] <Riolu777> and had those and frozen Banquet dinners for like two years [11:44] <Riolu777> yes roddy it's an american thing [11:44] <Wertys761> It's a horrible american thing though. :P handmade pasta is far superior [11:45] <BusyCityGirl> They're not very good [11:45] <BusyCityGirl> I always thought those things taste like metal [11:45] <Roddy15> Italian way is the only way [11:45] <Riolu777> and hey wertys [11:45] <Riolu777> well we had to do what we had to do with little money (derp) [11:45] <AmazingPythor> American versions of Italian foods can be disturbing like that :P [11:46] <Roddy15> we have aldi here so bags of pasta are pretty cheap :P [11:46] <BusyCityGirl> :p we did the same Rio xD [11:46] <Roddy15> aldi and lidl were saviours for millions here in the recession :P [11:46] <Wertys761> aren't bags of dry pasta like mere cents though? [11:46] <Wertys761> rice, noodles... all relatively cheap. :P [11:46] <BusyCityGirl> Idk if it's the same thing, but we have Aldi [11:47] <Riolu777> yeah but these had the sauces with them already [11:47] <Roddy15> yeah aldi in the US is the same thing [11:47] <Riolu777> and were easier for our beleaguered homeschooling mother to prepare [11:47] <Riolu777> :P [11:47] <Wertys761> Kinda random but I have a question [11:48] <Wertys761> Do you think homeschooling worked for you? because it really depends on the kid, sure, but overall people tend to have mixed opinions. [11:48] <Wertys761> I personally went through public school so. [11:48] <Wertys761> Just curious. [11:48] <Wertys761> And I know plenty of people in this community were homeschooled [11:48] <Riolu777> in some ways yeah [11:48] <Roddy15> dry pasta is literally just water for 10 or so minutes if you don't want to do anything fancy :P [11:48] <Roddy15> even i can cook it :P [11:48] <BusyCityGirl> Mostly yeah for me [11:48] <Riolu777> I do my assignments as my own pace and get things done on my own, so I'm good at independent learning and study now [11:49] <Wertys761> That's good [11:49] <AmazingPythor> Homeschooling can be good for some people but it needs to be regulated :P [11:49] <Riolu777> but I also got a lot of conservative christian bloatware stuffed in between actual learning [11:49] <AmazingPythor> Though yeah public schools in America also need massive reform of course :P [11:49] <Wertys761> Question number 2: why are so many "LMBers" homeschooled? :P [11:49] <Riolu777> thanks to the hegemony on homeschooling curricula [11:49] <Roddy15> evolution is just a theory :P [11:49] <Riolu777> a "disproven and unbiblical" one at that [11:50] <Riolu777> whenever it was mentioned [11:50] <Riolu777> anywhere [11:50] <BusyCityGirl> We were always involved with the public schools too though with like robotics and other activities [11:50] <Riolu777> in and of my science courses [11:50] <AmazingPythor> Evolution [11:50] <AmazingPythor> Disproven [11:50] <AmazingPythor> lol [11:50] <Riolu777> *any [11:50] <AmazingPythor> Again this is why we need regulations :P [11:50] <Roddy15> jesus camp is an eye opener for me honestly to how bad certain homeschool educations can be [11:50] <EveryOpenEye> you know the verse in the bible [11:50] <Wertys761> That's an issue Riolu. I know you come from a Christian background and its rather unsettling when Christians look so shamefully on science instead of embracing it and incorporating it. [11:50] <EveryOpenEye> where jesus says to a group of illiterate orphans, [11:50] <EveryOpenEye> "thou shalt not believe the teachings of charles darwin" [11:50] <Wertys761> So that kinda sucks. :P [11:50] <Riolu777> right, wertys [11:51] <Riolu777> but of course the past few years I've gotten my volition and all that [11:51] <Roddy15> like even the Catholic Church adopt evolution and other scientific things like the big bang :P [11:51] <Wertys761> volition? [11:51] <Wertys761> What a vocabulary. :P [11:51] <BusyCityGirl> O/ [11:51] <Wertys761> What do you mean exactly?? [11:51] <Riolu777> so I can still have my general Christian worldview yet still prescribe to the scientifically accepted things of the world [11:51] <Riolu777> volition? like my free will, to decide on things myself [11:51] <Riolu777> :P [11:52] <Wertys761> Ah. [11:52] <Wertys761> :P [11:52] <BusyCityGirl> That is weird though. Like why are so many lmbers homeschooled [11:52] <EveryOpenEye> spooky [11:52] <Wertys761> Personally I think there's a good mix required. Science is quite literally the language of the world. It describes how everything we see around us works. But I don't find 100% truth in some of the largely accepted scientific standings. [11:52] <Riolu777> because it's something that homeschooling parents would allow their kids to do online [11:53] <Riolu777> so a disproportionate amount of LMBers are hence homeschooled [11:53] <Wertys761> @BCG: It always baffled me how nearly every other kid on the LMBs was a christian homeschooler. :P [11:53] <BusyCityGirl> Mhm [11:53] <Roddy15> well science isn't really ever about 100% truth more so what works in the world around us but even that is subject to our interpretation which gets shaken up a lot :P [11:53] <Wertys761> Their signatures be like: "Proud Christian Homeschooler" and what-not. :P [11:54] <BusyCityGirl> xD [11:54] <Wertys761> @Roddy: True true [11:54] <Wertys761> Overall I just hate the Science vs Religion debate [11:54] <Wertys761> Like.. [11:54] <Wertys761> why not Science AND religion? [11:55] <Veralann> conflict of interest [11:55] <Wertys761> Yes [11:55] <Wertys761> and no [11:56] <Roddy15> well personally i'd just prefer religion but science can't really disprove religion entirely so i'm fine with people who believe in a god but will also accept the idea that science is really how we go about finding something out [11:56] <Veralann> some of the more widely believed portions of both highly contradict the other [11:56] <Roddy15> which is pretty much how every religious person i meet in real life works [11:56] <Riolu777> God took seven 24 hour days to create the whole earth therefore evolution and the big bang theory are wrong, so the conflict is [11:56] <Roddy15> but i'm in ireland so homeschooling and such is pretty much not a thing :P [11:57] <AmazingPythor> The US isn't quite as educated, Roddy (derp) [11:57] <Roddy15> there are homeschooled people here but it's for reasons like bullying or other issues [11:57] <Person of Info> Hype is PM working? [11:57] <Veralann> you gave me like 15 seconds to respond to what you just said [11:57] <Veralann> :P [11:58] <Wertys761> @Riolu: "24 hour day" is found no where in the Bible. Some say that the "day" referred to is far longer than what we consider a day in the western world. prophetic time, if you will. [11:58] <Roddy15> and we have state exams with set curriculums so you can't really teach your own thing [11:58] <Riolu777> oh I know wertys [11:58] <Wertys761> I know you know [11:58] <Wertys761> :P [11:58] <Riolu777> I phrased it like that because that's how I've heard it from creationists [11:58] <Riolu777> :P [11:58] <Person of Info> Test [11:58] <Person of Info> 15 seconds? :P [11:58] <Riolu777> and other bible literalists [11:59] <Person of Info> Felt like 7 minutes to me (derp) [11:59] <AmazingPythor> well [11:59] <Wertys761> tsk tsk [11:59] <Roddy15> every catholic i meet here just says genesis is a story and not literally what happened :P [11:59] <Person of Info> This place has really distorted my perception of time :{P [11:59] <AmazingPythor> 17 hours until America is great again (y) (y) [11:59] <Wertys761> impatient millennial [11:59] <Wertys761> *grumbles* [11:59] <Wertys761> :P [11:59] <Roddy15> not all caps "MAGA" [11:59] <Riolu777> yeah roddy not sure why more Christians don't see things as allegorical [11:59] <Riolu777> but that's just me [12:00] <AmazingPythor> I could end up seeing the swearing in because calculus was cancelled for tomorrow
