| missedhervee Member since: Apr 23, 2021 Threads: 96 Posts: 3108 | A buddy of mine recently sold his home in NW Portland and moved to Las Vegas (he doesn't gamble). Found a shared housing arrangement in Summereland Sun City. He got tired of the libtards running amuck in stumptown and also is seeking a dry climate. |

What is amusing is you think the argument is about the usefulness and legitimacy of Spanish. It's not. It's about English versus Spanish and English will win every time because you can say more things in English by far then you can in Spanish. It's really that simple. And the fact that English is the major language in the world now taught in schools in every first world country. It's mandatory. What does that tell you, mister lawyer. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

I said Spanish may take over English as the predominant language here someday, and you used that as an opening to make some weird, off subject argument about English being a better language. Who cares which is better? |

| AZDuffman Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 135 Posts: 18222 | This is 10 years old but still relevant. I had no idea that Oregon was the spiritual home of the meth problem. I would have guessed CA. Note how they said how much crime was driven by meth addiction. Now they are about to decriminalize most drugs. Blue state memories are so short. The President is a fink. |

I am probably okay with the kids not having to learn math beyond the basic multiplication and division. But I think reading is necessary for everyone at least at a high school level. At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a detrrent. |
