You bore me.
I oppose this because it's easily exploited by the kid.
The kid needs to be held responsible in the cases where the parents are doing everything they can.

I agree that the kid should be held responsible if the parents are doing all they can.  But if the parents aren't trying, then they should be held responsible also.  There are many cases in the lower grades where parents simply don't bother to send their kids to school.

Claiming to be bored is a good ploy when you don't want to hear the truth about liberal views.  It's a good way to change the subject.

No, I was bored by your steoretyping of liberals, and ignorance on why I opposed this law, even though I already stated why I opposed this law. Republicans seem to be wrong about liberals 99% of the time.

I'd say you're grossly exaggerating with your 99% figure.  My impression of liberals is that most of them don't really think.  They simply have knee-jerk opinions that they think are fashionable, and they recoil in horror from the idea of personal responsibility or from any philosophy that doesn't meet the standards of political correctness.  Anybody who doesn't agree with them gets tagged with one of the "ist" terms, sexist, racist, or whatever.  These terms have no meaning anymore.

If something applies to most of the people you are saying it applies to, then it is not really stereotyping.  And I have exposure to a lot of people who espouse liberal views.  While many liberals live in a liberal bubble, with little exposure to real conservatives (who they stereotype at least as much as conservatives stereotype liberals), I am exposed to liberals all the time, and I can fully see their thought processes, or lack thereof.

I do paint with a broad brush against liberals, so not everything I say can be said to apply to every liberal.  But my experience with liberals in general confirms most of what I have said about them.

I'm a liberal and I don't believe in political correctness, so there.
As for responsiblity, why don't you guys elect a non-inside trading President, and then we'll talk?

If you don't believe in political correctness, then you're a distinct minority.  And with Clinton's record of business corruption, you have no business talking about Bush, whatever you are referring to.
