Okay, I might be wrong, but what I think you mean by 'tracking and tiering' isn't the answer to too many people going to university. It's a method of filtering, sure, but it's mostly a terrible method that is already biased from class perspectives.

emil.y, Tuesday, 14 February 2012 05:01 (twelve years ago) link

yes but if i were dictator it would work out great

yeah this is basically the problem. race perspectives too.

horseshoe, Tuesday, 14 February 2012 05:06 (twelve years ago) link

well we have enough college educated white people so i would put the kibosh on that for a while

Critique of Pure Moods (goole), Tuesday, 14 February 2012 05:08 (twelve years ago) link

the prob is even worse when you're funneling poor people into for-profit degree programs and people are defending it for equality of opportunity reasons even if large amounts of debt might be a pretty bad way to go about equality

iatee, Tuesday, 14 February 2012 05:09 (twelve years ago) link

you're definitely right about that

horseshoe, Tuesday, 14 February 2012 05:10 (twelve years ago) link

conversations about fixing education always have to become conversations about fixing everything else

horseshoe, Tuesday, 14 February 2012 05:10 (twelve years ago) link

but that reminds me, in my fascist regime, the university of phoenix & c. are going down

horseshoe, Tuesday, 14 February 2012 05:20 (twelve years ago) link

i guess that's not challopsy enough

horseshoe, Tuesday, 14 February 2012 05:20 (twelve years ago) link

i thought i was going to be so good at this thread

cap executive compensation for any company receiving any sort of aid, subsidy, grant or tax break. companies may be eligible for such things, but only if they cap salaries at (say) 1M/year, all bonuses, benefits and perks included. which might sound like a lot, but relative to what many CEOs and top execs make nowadays, it's a pretty drastic cut.

Little GTFO (contenderizer), Tuesday, 14 February 2012 05:55 (twelve years ago) link

companies who do not cap income have to pay a flat rate of like 40% on gross earnings, no loopholes or deductions for anything.

I held back on making this cause secret libertarian fantasies are a lot more shameful than secret fascist fantasies

lol i feel the opposite and i feel like this is a mutually revealing thing somehow

BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Tuesday, 14 February 2012 08:14 (twelve years ago) link

like my secret shameful fascist fantasy is that everyone should receive the kind of education that lets them debate submerged state policies on really wonky details by the watercooler

BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Tuesday, 14 February 2012 08:17 (twelve years ago) link

I'll admit I'm way more stunned by things people are saying on this thread than on the libertarian thread, mostly because I didn't think ILXors would be serious about killing and sterilizing people.

the reason this is shameful for me btw is because its privileging one kind of blah blah yada over you know the deal

BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Tuesday, 14 February 2012 08:19 (twelve years ago) link

Getting back to my "flags" thing, I remembered that I'm pretty nostalgic for the marches of my boy scout youth. I wish there were more civilian opportunities for marching and if elected your fascist dictator, would make them mandatory for Sunday mornings. I would exempt the differently-abled, which I realize is not very fascisty of me, but what the heck.

Oh, and I don't want to minimize the importance of fascisty uniforms! All women would have to wear either IDF uniforms or labcoats. I don't know about the men.

I propose to ban amplified busking.

The New Dirty Vicar, Tuesday, 14 February 2012 10:33 (twelve years ago) link

I have also been thinking it would be great if we all had to wear uniforms at work.

The New Dirty Vicar, Tuesday, 14 February 2012 10:33 (twelve years ago) link

what if it were a really shitty uniform though

I don't think they are being serious crut. I wasn't and I thought I clarified that.

wolf kabob (ENBB), Tuesday, 14 February 2012 11:58 (twelve years ago) link

I assumed others weren't as well.

wolf kabob (ENBB), Tuesday, 14 February 2012 11:58 (twelve years ago) link

This thread is a weird mix of jokey and not jokey imo which makes it hard to read what people mean correctly.

wolf kabob (ENBB), Tuesday, 14 February 2012 11:59 (twelve years ago) link

Not jokey but OTT and exaggerated.

wolf kabob (ENBB), Tuesday, 14 February 2012 12:01 (twelve years ago) link

and an internet thread

right, that too

i think i should be able to kill aggressive drivers

kim tim jim investor (harbl), Tuesday, 14 February 2012 12:08 (twelve years ago) link

We've been over it before, so I'm not surprised that there are ilxors who are against killing child molestors, but I've known enough victims of child abuse to care more about what they think.

things you're secretly kinda libertranny about (beachville), Tuesday, 14 February 2012 12:08 (twelve years ago) link

Mandatory adoption - all newborns go to the next family.

-all bicycles are fitted with electroshock triggers so that when cyclists fail to obey BASIC ROAD RULES they are electrocuted.

I think you'll find that in the new no-cars utopia this sort of thing will drop off sharply.

Let's seriously not.

things you're secretly kinda libertranny about (beachville), Tuesday, 14 February 2012 12:11 (twelve years ago) link

i am against killing child molesters

.. for the simple reason that otherwise the molester has no reason not to murder the child afterwards.

Mark G, Tuesday, 14 February 2012 12:14 (twelve years ago) link

i don't think most of them are that forward-thinking but i don't wanna ruin the fascist thread with this, let's think of other people who should be killed

kim tim jim investor (harbl), Tuesday, 14 February 2012 12:16 (twelve years ago) link

ha i dunno how else a fantiscist thread on ilx was ever going to go tho harbl, kind of inevitable

beware of greek bearer bonds (darraghmac), Tuesday, 14 February 2012 12:19 (twelve years ago) link

they don't have to be forward thinking, they just have to feel massive remorse and panic afterwards.

But, as you say, ... other.
