I see people arguing two different sides as if two things can't be true at the same time.

First, Israel probably doesn't care about Christian casualties among the Muslims because Israel only cares about western Christian money, and very little for Christianity in general. Many in Isreal, mostly the growing Orthodox sect, also consider Christianity a threat to the Jewish people and want preaching the gospel to be illegal in Israel and have advanced legislation (that has currently been shot down) to make it so.

Israel also has to deal with real existential threats, and they can only use a scalpel so often. Contrary to the arm-chair generals online, real Israelis are dying from attacks from Hezbollah, and they essentially function as an insurgency when attacking Israel. There are limitations on what you can do when your enemy looks like a civilian. I assure you Israel isn't sitting around with an acceptable number of deaths before taking action.

That being said, Lebanon is culpable for not dealing with the problem. They can be eradicating Hezbollah and increasing political ties with Israel and the West. Instead, they are letting a UN who has super limited combat ability patrol southern Lebanon instead of dealing with the issue themselves. It's BS, and they are not stepping up to protect their own citizens. "Peacekeeping" missions that refuse to actually combat terrorists are worthless.

Basically, taking a side and not admitting that it isn't black and white is just intellectual dishonesty. This is way more complex than Israel or Hezbollah bad, though Israel is at least trying to operate as a nation and Hezbollah is just masquerading as a political party.

Gotcha. Interested to know how strong of a tornado it was.

I just heard something pop but not sure what it was.

That's cuz this guy isn't concerned about long term growth of the sport. He's worried about building a team for his kid for a few years. If the sport gets destroyed so be it. Not his problem.

Why does he care about the small schools, he doesn’t play them for any championships?

Now they do absolutely have too many that makes it an unequal vote on issues like this. They would lose their shite if high enrollment schools deconsolidated theoretically and crushed their votes

---

Well that's exactly why. If you vote to screw the small schools over, the small schools will remember that for the future. They don't have anything to lose from it passing, they are already the best. Might as well keep everyone happy.

Principals didn’t want to adapt to the times and the landscape

I disagree with you here from what you posted on LSL. Principals looked at college and said, no way, that bad for all parties invovled, even the kids who think they are benefitting from the portal, but that's an aside tangent with how many kids never make it out of the portal. If we went to straight clubs and got rid of schools, I'd be for all of it. But we need to have accountability for the student part of the student athlete.

Every public district, charter system, and private system has a variety of rules and regulations regarding attendance and enrollment. The minority attendance zone system should not cost kids a year of eligibility because its been around a long time.

---

I'm talking about parishes like ST and Jeff, where it's not open enrollment. Unless you can show me otherwise, these kids are not going to be eligible for schools they are out of zone for because those schools aren't going to even allow them in.

I'd love to know the names of the schools that voted yes. Will they have the results posted somewhere? It's clear that 80+ percent know this is a horrible idea. The government needs to stay out of it.

But suppose the private schools aren't okay with the oversight? A lot of private school folks are also those who back elections.

If there’s a new association

I think the new association ship has sailed. Also, you say conservatives wanting school choice, but pretty much the one time transfer is universally disliked by both public and private schools.

I just looked through your Alpha AI program bud. Doesn't look like any teachers are replaced, but nice try. Also, you can attend for the low, low price of $40,000 per year!

Gtfo. AI isn't replacing teachers any time soon. Newman would blush at that tuition.
