Surely they would not book the accused with the illicit images.... That post title is BAD.

Before the test was mandatory, people only took the test if they thought they needed for entry to college. Now there are more people who don't want to go to college yet still must take the test. It's logical to assume that the people who would not go to college or feel that the test is a waste of their time will not perform as well as the people who view it as a barrier that they must cross for their desired life outcome. The simplicity of the test doesn't really matter.

Obviously if you force people to take the test then the averages will go down...

In case anyone was curious about the click-bait: "The new excavations bring to light exciting new information about this unique woman and her time."

It's just part of some quote and there isn't really anything exciting.

Is the test paid for by the school district and/or part of the mandatory curriculum requirements for graduation?

That doesn't track. Why pay money and schedule a date to do poorly on the ACT? Should the scores not go up if only the people who know they are going to college take the test?

I assume you support the temperance movement as well. As others have said, there are no limits on candy flavored alcohol. Alcohol has a much more detrimental affect on society than nicotine. As far as I can tell, most of the regulations surrounding tobacco only serve to entrench and strengthen the international Tobacco companies by removing any chance for competitive markets.

For me, it was a combination of things. I was already an evening user of cannabis and had just started bowling regularly with some friends ( a few of which were smokers). Drinking and bowling go hand in hand and I got curious when my friends went out for smoke breaks so I decided to go with them. First couple times you smoke you get a really nice head-high and don't really even think about how easy it is to get addicted. By the time that little head-high no longer happens it's too late and you are addicted.

That's pretty standard for nearly every router and Internet connected device. There is almost always a setting for Primary and Secondary DNS servers. Sometimes you can even set more (ie. 2 IPv6 DNS servers in addition to the 2 IPv4 DNS servers)

¿Porque no los dos? I don't want to get into arguments about which side is more morally just in their killing but the reality is that both sides are responsible for atrocities and the murder of civilians to further their territorial goals.

Kbin isn't really a fork, but it does have a similar feature set.

I didn't claim you said anything that you did not and I certainly never claimed that corporal punishment is only present in Xinjiang.

Also, I don't think it's ok to point to the US prison system as a good comparison (considering it's one of the worst, if not the worst in the developed world). Would be better to compare to a different wealthy democratic country if China wants to prove their system is fair.

That's like putting all your porn in a desktop folder labeled "Sexually Explicit Images"

I don't know why you stated that China historically uses forced labor as a mens of reform right after you said they weren't using forced labor. Am I supposed to be impressed with their newfound restraint? Also, from accounts from inside the forced education centers it sure seems like the prisoners get plenty of physical abuse.

Any time something happens outside Chinese borders, China turns into a condescending husband, "just calm down."

Yeah, it's not like spacesuit tech is expensive to develop already... who decided that we needed a "designer" version!? This is a blatant headline grab and a marketing ploy for all corpos involved.

Yeah, like some sort of rocket propelled grenade!

Yeah, I read the article too. It just seems either highly unlikely or an extremely unfortunate thing to happen. I would expect at least a few other people having similar injuries on this slide.

I think you might be thinking of the premise for the movie Dogma actually...
