sad?
I don't get this part? Drugs and guns. The giant teddy bears might have cocaine in them or an AK. The school MUST protect the values of Elementary School Teaching by stopping all contact of the outside world, or Gangland as they call it. Nah, the school just doesn't want to interrupt classes for some presents.

Black history month
You have white history year. White history is taught through the education system all the time. It's just called, "History". But there's no emphasis on what an accomplishment it was *because* they were white, nor is there any inference that anyone of Caucasian descent should feel a personal sense of pride in their accomplishments. So... I don't understand, there's no real emphasis on accomplishments DUE to race no matter who or what we discussed in history class. I agree with all of this.

Any car will be on the side of the road if you don't take care of it. I own both now and my Toyota has died in the middle of the road from neglect, so has my VW. Some cars take abuse in certain ways better than other cars and some fair worse.

Black history month
The desire for a channel to focus around things that aren't like the stuff on other mainstream channels is admirable, but I don't see how the concept of 'the rest of TV is for white people' holds up. How does my skin colour make a difference whether TV programmes are my kind of thing or not? Surely black people are more or less equally interested in sports, documentaries, the news, and whatever is on the TV as everyone else. For the record, I've never seen BET, I don't think it's shown anywhere in the UK. I don't comprehend how you can approach the mission statement "TV Entertainment for black people" without making some racist assumptions or generalisations. What do they show? It's not about the rest of TV being for white people; but for the record, the rest of TV IS for white people. Everything is made with white people as the intended audience. BET serves the black community; bringing light to issues that are too far removed from white society to be of any interest to mainstream channels. I don't understand what the problem is; why do white people want 100% of TV to be for white people instead of 'just' 99%? Please enlighten me how a TV programme can be made with white people as an intended audience, without making any racist assumptions or generalisations, because as far as I can see, that's logically impossible. This particular white person doesn't comprehend the concept of TV for white people, or TV for black people. It thinks that the 99% of TV is for everybody, regardless of skin colour, and any attempt at the 1% at being different from that is racially motivated. Also, does anyone have an example in particular of something so far removed from the so-called "white society" that we have no interest in hearing about it? It's not really a race thing, whites just happen to be the majority, and that's what most TV companies will program for. Selling to the majority demographic is always less risky and more profitable.

Black history month
I believe it was mostly owned by robert johnson up untill the early 2000s, then it was turned over to viacom, and programming (imo) started declining from the mid 2000s. Now it's just black MTV.

Black history month
WET already exists, it's called TV. Since whites are the majority, most of the entertainment is for the majority. As far as black history month? I don't really see much of a use for it, not because of most of the reasons above, but because it's only american black history. Throughout my entire time in history classes, I've never actually taken a true world history course including all continents in full detail from the beginnings in Africa to modern times. Instead we just got some world history, and a lot of american and european history.

Woman wins $9,867 in small claims court over "false" MPG figures.
I don't understand, does fine print hold any weight anymore? On every single new vehicle, window stickers clearly state that the MPG figures are EPA (aka not honda,volkswagen,toyota,ect) numbers and will vary based on several factors. Honda claimed this woman, and many other hybrid drivers may get UP TO 50MPG. They never promised 50MPG at any time. Several companies do this for a wide variety of products, it's standard business practice and its up to the consumer to consider this.

Most of these figures are EPA ratings, which aren't created by the companies at all.

What are you talking about? Are people too stupid to know how fuel economy even works? Mabye it's due to the fact that i'm a car guy, but after driving for a while, you should know the difference in fuel economy when you're driving aggressively or haven't maintained your car. SHE should be held liable for wasting peoples time with her lack of common sense. This is free money for being stupid.

How do things like this happen? I thought it was common sense that actual MPG figures depend on driving style and the condition of the vehicle. How was that not considered at all? It makes no sense...

Well it's an automatic high tech two tone sr5 coupe, im trying to calculate the cost of a manual swap, then leave the 4ac in for swapping later on. If I think i can pick up the parts relatively cheap, this might be a decent deal.Also, a small amount of surface rust is visible in some places, seems like the paint is getting old. Not sure if want... EDIT: pics of the glorious poopbox
