What's your outlet then? Needless to say you don't have to answer, but you are a human being and I guess you need one.

I read... a lot...

I read... a lot...

Seriously? Now, I get that you are not selling anything, but I am not buying that. See, reading and writing is my job, Joseph. Something I am obssessed with it beyond the usual  schizophrenia of the translator and the solid reader and I would tell you it is not really an outlet but a heavy put in.

I read not because it's a job for me but a compulsion. I read before going to bed. I wake up at 3 am, and read. I read when I get up, while eating my breakfast. And so on. I'll go from physics, to economics, to politics, to current events, to fiction novels, and anything that grabs my attention. It's a drug, my drug...

Muslim Parent Warns School Board ‘We’re Going to Be the Majority Soon’ as Meeting Gets Heated and Security Is Needed


It is not related to Ahmed, but the warning is there. Watch your step!

Entitlement, superiority, special pleading. Does the school observe Jewish, Hindu etc. holidays? No.

I don't know about hindu holidays... but they sure do honor Jewish holidays by me. Depending on the holiday, of course. Some holidays are not "day off" holidays but there are some that are... I just forget which ones though...

Perhaps the let the kid have a day off. But I don't think they shut the school down for that day.

Nope. They shut down all the elementary and high schools in the area completely, in my neck of the woods at least.

Sent from your mom.

The story is not over yet.

Here comes the litigation jihad.

Ahmed Mohamed's family retains legal counsel

IRVING -- The family of a 14-year-old Irving student arrested for bringing a homemade clock to school earlier this month has retained lawyers and is seeking to regain his science project from the Irving Police Department.

Ahmed Mohamed's parents say they've un-enrolled their three children from the Irving School District "because of religious persecution" and have decided to home-school them. Mohamed's arrest made national headlines, prompting invites from the White House, Facebook and other tech companies.

"The family says that Ahmed has been severely traumatized. The family wants justice and to ensure no family will ever have to experience what Ahmed went through again," a press release sent Wednesday stated.

The family hired Reggie London and Thomas Bowers, well-known for representing Jana Weckerly in her sexual assault case against Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones

I'll be very surprised if they won't be cashing in on this episode.

He does look traumatized. Poor boy.

Yep, no surprise after the father quickly held a press conference within two hours of the kid being released, instead of making his own inquiry into the events to get to know what really happened. This guy is a real opportunist, no surprise here as he is a politician. The media, celebrities, and even Obama took the bite like fish in a barrel.

A 14 year old kid has taken everybody for a ride. And to the cleaners too by the look of things.
Success beyond their wildest dreams.

Excellent.

Unfortunately even the facts coming from the mouth of the kid won't dissuade Islam apologists.

Wait but doesn't everything in that video contradict Mark Cunan's recounting of events?

No.

No.

But Mark Cuban said he showed it to 6 teachers

But Mark Cuban said he showed it to 6 teachers

If the kid went from class to class, 6 is in that ball park -that's how many classes the kid would go through in any normal day. For that not to happen, the kid would have had to put his metal box in his locker. In the interview, there is no indication he did that. So he had to carry from class to class. Was it exactly 6? Who cares if it's 4,5 or 6 as that is very irrelevant to the story.

I don't know what sort of backwater education you have but there is a difference between to 2 and 6 and it is relevant to you insistinng that Mark Cuban was somehow a reliable sorce.
