Thanks a lot homie.

But the rich people just opened up FUBU jacket stores and got all the money back in like 9 months.

Narrated by Martin sheen? Couldn't they get Morgan Freeman?

Right.

Poor neighborhoods don't have the resources or tax base. Add in declining student numbers, not everyone showing up for count days, dilapidated buildings, inept government.

Nice, cushy, suburban neighborhoods have all that.

The solution? If you bring the government in, their influence is too big.

Maybe more of an onus should be put on the private sector. Big businesses donate to public schools, they get their name and positive publicity. Probably can give them some tax breaks for doing so.

Vouchers? Charter schools?

I don't know if I should laugh or "WTF" this post.

School districts could pay teachers more if they weren't so wasteful on building expenditures (football stadiums, nadatoriums, shops, class equipment, etc.). I used to inspect new schools and it was absurd how nice they are. At least in Texas, where property taxes are ungodly high, and district taxes make up a large chunk of that.

Yeah when I read that I almost fell out of my ****ing chair. And it's a pretty big chair. Practicing what he preaches doesn't seem to be his thing.

Bringing up sooper sikrit exchanges feels kinda lame but there was a long PM exchange 2-3 months ago and I believe some consultation via email. nath was tired of people making (mostly very tired) jokes at him and indicated he was probably done with the forums.

Which clearly sucks - he's a better p0ster and probably a better person than most of the people who caused him grief, knows a lot about football and other sports and is a nice guy. But the flip side is that the level of moderation required to keep him around probably isn't feasible, and notably it works for most everyone else.

Ultimately if this forum is detrimental to his health then he should stop posting for his own good. It's our loss too though.

Yeah, you're wrong here. Nath is really good and especially last year, had vastly improved his football knowledge. Well-rounded and well-spoken on a bunch of topics.

nath was a pretty lol Saints homer imo, and he would get legit furious anytime you cracked a joke about it

He was elite at doing NFL drafts. I'll grant you that.

Remember some of the poor schools spending the influx of cash on football video-trons/weight rooms. TEXAS. FOOTBALL.

i think he got rustled that people thought his name rhymed with math

Still does.

Like most people, I grew up thinking of teachers as some sort of always right puritanical servants of society. They didn't litter and they absolutely didn't do anal.

Then I got into my 20s and realized that a lot of the teachers were actually not particularly bright women who were just doing it until they could snag a husband and were total coke whore cum dumpsters every weekend. It was a little like finding out about Santa.

Like don't waste it watching reruns of full house and eating oreos. Do **** that you enjoy and adds value to your life.

Yeah lol. At least some people from Texas go pro in football though. Seeing a nadatorium in a public high school is just massive lulz. Hey, every 100 years we send someone to the Olympics to do synchronized swimming! And spend $8 billion maintaining a gigantic pool! No way should this be handled with private funds!

Seeing Mr. Luft smoking a cigarette was life changing for me.

this is also true. IME nath was probably best at posting in the SE FAQ or about non-saints NFL.

and the 'cardo-nath feud was awesome when it poked its head up in SE.

mom was just rushed to the hospital think her appendix may have burst. or on the verge.

nath does rhyme with math.

take that nath
