Before Their Time

[The Duke]

You would think it would be in history from the 6th grade up, at least.

Well yes, but they didn't live through it.

I'm constantly amazed at what college-educated adults don't know.

College Is a Collage of Coolies

Yet you support the work-without-pay basis of that mind-numbing institution. Its insult to intelligence is as if anyone who had played high school football got to play college football.

As if you know anything about playing sports at a high level.

This isn't stuff you're supposed to learn in college.

You're supposed to learn this by the time you hit 8th grade.

Instead they're teaching kids about anal sex, blowjobs, and transitioning to another sex.

Who is "they"?

The best I could do at football was junior college. Maybe if I had stuck at it another year I would have been picked up by a 4 year university, but things didn't work out. I was broke and I needed to do something to pay the bills.

Who is "they"?

Green haired Lesbian teachers.

Green haired Lesbian teachers.

Haven't met one of those.

 

[mudwhistle]

Haven't met one of those.

I have.
They're usually fat, short-haired, wear glasses, and think parents have no rights to decide what they teach their kids.

 

[Unkotare]

I have.
...

Where, when?

 

[mudwhistle]

Where, when?

I played for the San Diego City College Knights in 82'.

Our practice field was the old Balboa Stadium the Chargers used to play in.

They're all over Nashville. Vanderbilt University is full of them.

They patterned those movies after a real San Diego anchorman named Paul Bloom for channel 39.

The reporter and anchor wasn't afraid to poke fun at his profession and himself in career that spanned decades across several stations

The producer for Channel 8 ended up being a professor at San Diego City College teaching television production.

He's the one that convinced me not to try to be a journalist.

After WWII you had constant reminders of that war and the people involved, now they all be dead no one reminds us all the time about WWII.

Except Hollywood.

It still turns out that Nazis are the only unequivocal bad guys we can use in movies.

I can remember when many people would "pause" the date JFK was assassinated. I was born 2 years after that event, so it didn't impact me the same as people that actually experienced that day.

I can tell you where I was and what I was doing on 9/11/2001 when the planes crashed into the twin towers.

I can remember exactly where I was when JFK was killed, Twin Towers, no.

 

[Woodznutz]

Green haired Lesbian teachers.

And librarians that seed the stacks with such stuff.

I'm constantly amazed at what college-educated adults don't know.

I agree, but many of us old farts feel the same way about your lack of historical knowledge of things we lived through.

 

[HikerGuy83]

You are speaking of students in your classroom? I thought you were a high school teacher. You have high school students that do not know? Amazing!

What's amazing is that you think they know.

Many kids today are very detached.

Im not sure if he was still coaching in 1982,
but did you play for coach Harry West? I played a year there in 1973. I know that the gymnasium is named after him now.
