Free Melissa Busekros - the no debating allowed version!

If there's something on your mind that just doesn't seem to fall into any of the other categories, well, it quite likely belongs inside Joe Finneman's marketplace. Think of it as a general store for general discussions!

Yes, I've heard of this and I'm so mad about it! :firemad: Honestly, something should be done about this atrosity! (I hope I spelled that right.)

Well, if Germany wants to outlaw homeschooling its up to them, though obviously they don't have to be so rude about it. :noway:

Okay, you apparently can't split off the first thread of a topic...but here is the original first post in this topic:

To just lock the thread? But then people with non-debating comments wouldn't have a good place to put them. :(
