^^^Where'd you find that image? Conservapedia?

It's not really as funny as you think it is... partially because it's one of the worst 'shops I've ever seen, and partly because... well, it's just not funny.

Taking it to the fullest extent, I see. Keep up the good work, buddy. Maybe some day you'll move up to middle school humor. And maybe, someday far in the future (God willing of course), you'll say something that a high schooler might find witty.

Name calling aside, whats really to be gained by this kind of discussion now?

Why don't you guys take a breather until Obama begins his first set of policy changes so you can actually have content to cry about.

Yeah that's a riot. Actually what truly is funny though is the e-camaraderie some of you fuckin geese share in common on TSB. I mean, why must some of you continue to shit up nearly every thread you come across?

This thread is cosmically terrible as is, it doesn't need the pile on...

i love that hooksaw calls it "my" education

that makes sense, especially since it was designed by him, rather than by professional educators; and somehow he thinks that is a benefit

1. GTAs are defined by NCSU--and everyone else--as education professionals, dumbass.

2. I hold numerous education-related professional credentials, other than my education.

3. I sure as hell taught you something--and I have on many occasions.

maybe when he gets off his ass and gets his degree and goes and actually teaches somewhere for a few years someone might give him some credibility.

Quote :
"Non-Tenure Track Positions Individuals in these positions typically focus on teaching undergraduate courses, do not engage in research (except in the case of 'Research Professors,') do not engage in departmental decision-making, and are not eligible for tenure.

Teaching assistant (TA) or teaching fellow (TF) Positions typically held by graduate students. TAs play a supportive role involving grading, review sessions, and labs. Teaching fellows (and at some universities, TAs) teach entire courses.

Adjunct instructor/professor/lecturer or Faculty Associate Typically part-time non-salaried, non-tenure track faculty members who are paid for each class they teach. This position does not always require a completed Ph.D.

Instructor or Lecturer A full-time position at a University that does not involve tenure or a research program in the classical sense. This position does not necessarily require a Ph.D. and usually involves teaching undergraduate introductory courses.

Visiting assistant professor A temporary assistant professor position (see below), e.g. to cover the teaching load of a faculty member on sabbatical.

Research Professor A position that usually carries only research duties with no obligation for teaching. Research Professors typically must secure most or all of their salary from external funding sources such as grants and contracts. Although Research Professor positions usually are non-tenure track their ranks parallel those of tenure-track positions; i.e., Research Assistant Professor, Research Associate Professor, and Research Professor."

Man, schmoe, you're just dumb. I mean, separate from political shit or pissing contests or TSB shit, I never actually thought you were dumb--but it's now become painfully obvious that you are.

lol

wikpedia settles everything!

a broad description of a position without any specificity based on the institution you work at is such a good definition of your position!

honestly, if you and i ever worked at the same college, i would print off your posts, especially those where you belittle current/former students and take them to your faculty supervisor

i wonder what the ethical response to a TA calling someone "Old Blue Balls" or "joe_shithead", especially when you then suggest you've taught mr. shithead

man, hooksaw, you're like school on saturday - no class

in his defense, the only modification to that wiki in the past couple days was the addition of a link to the "string theory" page. nothing to do with what he's referring to.

and on the topic at hand, here's some text of the empty vessel fulfilling some of his campaign promises (the text of the executive orders he signed today):

Quote :
"
Executive Order regarding Guantanamo Bay detainees

Executive Order requires closure of the Guantanamo detention center no later than one year from the date of the Order. Closure of the facility is the ultimate goal but not the first step. The Order establishes a review process with the goal of disposing of the detainees before closing the facility.

The Order sets up an immediate review to determine whether it is possible to transfer detainees to third countries, consistent with national security. If transfer is not approved, a second review will determine whether prosecution is possible and in what forum. The preference is for prosecution in Article III courts or under the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ), but military commissions, perhaps with revised authorities, would remain an option. If there are detainees who cannot be transferred or prosecuted, the review will examine the lawful options for dealing with them. The Attorney General will coordinate the review and the Secretaries of Defense, State, and Homeland Security as well as the DNI and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff will participate.

The Executive Order directs the Secretary of State to seek international cooperation aimed at achieving the transfers of detainees

The Order directs the Secretary of Defense to halt military commission proceedings pending the results of the review.

Finally, the Executive Order requires that conditions of confinement at Guantanamo, until its closure, comply with Common Article 3 of the Geneva Conventions and all other applicable laws.

Executive Order regarding Detainee Policy

Executive Order creates a Special Task Force, co-chaired by the Attorney General and the Secretary of Defense, to conduct a review of detainee policy going forward. The group will consider policy options for apprehension, detention, trial, transfer, or release of detainees. Other Task Force participants include the Secretary of State, the Secretary of Homeland Security, the Director of National Intelligence, the Director of the Central Intelligence Agency, and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. The Special Task Force must submit its report to the President within 180 days.

Executive Order regarding Interrogation

Executive Order revokes Executive Order 13440 that interpreted Common Article 3 of the Geneva Conventions. It requires that all interrogations of detainees in armed conflict, by any government agency, follow the Army Field Manual interrogation guidelines. The Order also prohibits reliance on any Department of Justice or other legal advice concerning interrogation that was issued between September 11, 2001 and January 20, 2009.

The Order requires all departments and agencies to provide the ICRC access to detainees in a manner consistent with Department of Defense regulations and practice. It also orders the CIA to close all existing detention facilities and prohibits it from operating detention facilities in the future.

Finally, the Order creates a Special Task Force with two missions. The Task Force will conduct a review of the Army Field Manual interrogation guidelines to determine whether different or additional guidance is necessary for the CIA. It will also look at rendition and other policies for transferring individuals to third countries to be sure that our policies and practices comply with all obligations and are sufficient to ensure that individuals do not face torture and cruel treatment if transferred. This Task Force will be led by the Attorney General with the Secretary of Defense and the Director of National Intelligence as co-Vice Chairs.

Presidential Memorandum on Review of the Detention of al-Marri

The President instructed the Attorney General, the Secretaries of Defense, State, and Homeland Security, and the Director of National Intelligence to conduct a review of the status of the detainee Ali Saleh Kahlah al-Marri who is currently held at the Naval Brig in Charleston, South Carolina. This will ensure the same kind of legal and factual review is undertaken of the al-Marri case that is being undertaken of the Guantanamo cases."

To Woodfool:

2. Are you a girl? I ask because tattling on someone the way you describe it sounds like something a little bitch would do.

3. I guess the INTERNET REALLY IS SERIOUS BUSINESS FOR YOU.

4. Don't you believe in freedom of speech?

5. I didn't teach schmoe. I think he was at State when Methuselah was getting his BA. I was actually referring to teaching him here that the AG is part of the executive branch of government--try to keep up, okay?

6. Cue Nerdchick or some other sycophant exclaiming, "I'm so glad Woodfool is back! Cock/clit gobble--NOM, NOM, NOM!!!1"

7. STFU.

Detainee released from Guantanamo becomes top commander in Yemen terrorist group
January 23, 2009


Quote :
"WASHINGTON (AP) — A released Guantanamo Bay terror detainee's re-emergence as an al-Qaida commander in Yemen highlights the difficulty President Barack Obama faces in his efforts to close the detention facility and decide the fates of U.S. captives.

A U.S. counterterror official confirmed Friday that Said Ali al-Shihri, who was jailed at Guantanamo for six years after his capture in Pakistan, has resurfaced as a leader of a Yemeni branch of al-Qaida."

^ The point, which should have been self-evident, is that it's dangerous to release most of these assholes. And if you bring them to the continental United States, there's a good chance that some will be released--and how about we build the new enemy combatant detention center in your neighborhood?

yeah, i see your point. And I also haven't heard Obama suggest he was going to simply release them.

but no, i guess you guys are right. We should just round up as many people as we like and keep them in concrete cells on a Carribean island that Americans aren't even allowed to travel to for the rest of their lives.

Ha, you're far dumber than I realized if that's the point you gathered from that article.

But i suspect you're merely trying to mimic Limbaugh here and creatively interpret reality, rather than trying to understand what's actually going on. You only help to demean yourself and the entire soap box when you attempt this though.

1. respond to my points in the millennials thread or STFU

2. omg you got me there, oh no wait - reporting on abusive TAs is a proper ethical response
so go fuck yourself, but those of us who learned about education from properly defined and established curricula understand why a professor shouldn't be talking to students the way you do

3. you're the one who loves posting about millennials fucking their lives up on the internet
does nice wand ring any bells
face it old man, the internet actually is serious business
anything you post on this website, or any other social networking site, could fuck you up

4. sure, say what you want
but i have the freedom to forward your posts to whoever i want, right?

^From what I can tell, he gets smug satisfaction by believing he's winning debates with other people. This of course assumes that his idea of a "debate" involves posting links to media articles, ignoring any valid opposing points made, attacking the credibility and character of dissenters, and ending it all with third grade insults "STFU" and of course "". Also, it assumes that his idea of "winning" consists of making his opponents pity his rock-like intellect so badly that they cease bothering to respond.
