the reason why I don't benefit is not because I"m from a western state (I live in a liberal county btw), but because I'm responsible.

social services are only for irresponsible people that have babies when they can't afford them, and teen mothers and other irresponsible people.

I took social services to mean the infrastructure of the social support system in a nation, not "Social Services" as in the child-protection agency

The county of Las Angles has 50% of the population either an immigrant or the child of an immigrant. 50%-60% of the immigrants are illegal.

I'd like to see the results broken down by native vs non-native born and by race. I'm willing to bet people can guess which races will have higher scores.

And California as a whole, IIRC, has 6 million illegal immigrants living in the state.

That is the reason for the low performance of southern states.

Which is funny, given that we have one of the best education systems in the entire country, and the best high school.

Funny or not, it's true. Maybe your reputation is overstated.

There is a relationship between sepndning more money per pupil and how well they do, however, once adjusted for COLA.

quote: Originally posted by Comrade Tassadar You do seem to discount the fact of immigration - many nations export their intelligent workforce to the United States. And discounting social servies is not a small thing

They don't export a lot of people who just graduated from high school and are just entering college. Most of the type of people you're talking about already have a graduate or undergraduate degree.

well if your state doesn't have tort reform laws, you could sue for millions. For me, that is worth losing my penis for.
