Is that true?

Myth #2: All Serial Killers Are Caucasian.

Reality: Contrary to popular mythology, not all serial killers are white. Serial killers span all racial and ethnic groups in the U.S. The racial diversity of serial killers generally mirrors that of the overall U.S. population. There are well documented cases of African-American, Latino and Asian-American serial killers. African-Americans comprise the largest racial minority group among serial killers, representing approximately 20 percent of the total. Significantly, however, only white, and normally male, serial killers such as Ted Bundy become popular culture icons.

Considering that something like 75% of our population is White, it isn't a surprise that most serial killers are White, but considering the above statistic, I'd argue that your attempt at some racial aspect is false.

"Significantly, however, only white, and normally male, serial killers such as Ted Bundy become popular culture icons."

White privilege!!

No ****ing way this country is 75% white unless you're counting a good number of Hispanics as white.

I thought that African-Americans and Hispanics were pretty much even these days at 10% of the population. (At least so much as we can measure their population, in the latter case)

If AA are 20% of serial killers they'd be overrepresented in that group, not underrepresented.

Whites (including Hispanics who identified as White) constitute the majority, with a total of about 245,532,000, or 77.7% of the population as of 2013. Non-Hispanic Whites totaled about 197,816,000, or 62.6% of the U.S. population.

...one of the toughest and best teachers I had in HS was a black woman..
you DID NOT mess around in her class...

....and we didn't have young teachers, and the line of inappropiateness rarely got crossed.

Today, that line is fuzzy.

Well then. That makes more sense.

Yes, and the implication that the poster above made is still invalid.

I was hoping this thread would turn into a discussion on demographics.

It sort of ended it... As it turns out, white folk are serial killers, killers, and pedophiles, and black folk do all the stealing and the rest of the non-serial killing.

Those damned Asians always keeping their noses clean

Yeah...that's my bad. I didn't mean to do that as well. I just thought it was interesting when the wife pointed it out.

Those damn white audiofile slores.

Black dudes don't kiss & tell.

Ahhh now its all starting to come together

Smart move. I'd like to think I'd be the same way, but like Hootie mentioned earlier, I'd have a hard time not bragging to all of my friends.

Yep. I'd have snapped a pic and used it as my screensaver...

Yeah, I'm 38. I had a kindergarten teacher that was probably in her mid 20s, but the rest of my school life my teachers were all in late 30s to 60s. I can count maybe 2 attractive females amongst them, both were probably early 40s.

I see tons of teachers in elementary school these days that are in their 20s. I wonder why the difference?

What the hell is happening? Too much caffeine making all these young women horny little rabbits that want young boys?

Amazing.....

I wonder if there is a way to implement a forced vaccination on all female teachers to stop them from becoming audiofile slores?

It's because the pay sucks, and districts try to bounce teachers before they start to move up the pay scale. Lots of teachers burn out after five or ten years.

School costs so much now that you can barely pay back student loans and have a life as a young teacher. So instead of going into education, students go into other fields that pay much better than education.

I'm married to a teacher, so I know.

yeah, cuz that's gonna make her hot

No, no, maybe, hell ya, maybe, hell ya, most likely, hell ya, probably not, yeah

We are in the middle, and have been for a few years, of a wave of teacher retirements. Those teachers have to be replaced by someone, but I guarantee they were all in their 20s at one time.

All of this. Also: lots of young women teachers quit once they have their first baby and become stay at home mom's. Lots of hot young trophy wife teachers in our district who are working until they get pregnant with their first baby.

I have 3 tfa teachers on my kickball team. The 2 cute under 25 females are quitting at the end of the year. Parents of the inner city kids and admins stressing them out. They both make low 40s. I told them to go to suburban but they want to enter corporate america.

Yeah. Teach for America is really screwing up the education profession in a lot of ways. Lots of well meaning "do gooders" get in and distort the reality of the education situation because they're not actually in it for the long haul. Then policy makers shape all these policies based on the stories of TFA people, which isn't really making teaching sustainable as a profession.

You have all these feel good stories surrounding inner city or rural impoverished schools about some teacher who comes in as part of TFA and changes lives and commits their heart and soul to teaching (thank Dangerous Minds, the movie) and puts in all these extra hours and shit. But the fact is that those people often burn out and last for a couple of years before moving on.

We have a local charter school that uses TFA people up like crazy. They work insane hours and are all super passionate about their jobs... or appear to be. For some reason, though, their teacher turnover rate is through the roof.

It's very simple. The young boys haven't developed intimacy issues yet. After they develop those then lets see the teachers get that winkie.

For all the bitching about supposedly underqualified applicants that get into colleges, nothing is more maddening to me than women who work for two or three years after going to college, then become stay-at-home moms.

Working on that MrS baby.

I'm not really sure if she would've been all that hip on your sleeveless denim shirt you were rocking at the time. LMAO

That seems a little weird. You think that mothers should not be college-educated?

ROFL. Yup, that's it.

Actually, I think that if you're not willing to actually put your college education to use, don't take the spot of someone who will.

Well, maybe the education is there whether or not it's being used at the time? Surely some of these women re-enter the workforce after their kids are in school.

Hell, I don't "use" my college education in my profession. In your eyes, I shouldn't have gone to college?

Sorry, that just seems a little weird to me.

Not maddening to me. Helps them save up for the necessities of they are just waiting on having a baby. Their life

That's not what I said at all. I'll be willing to bet that the skills you gained at college helped you transition into your current career, though.

If your ultimate goal is to stay at home for the next 20 years after having your first kid, you aren't utilizing those skills; you're using college to marry up via a bait and switch technique, and you're taking the spot of someone else who actually intends to use the things you learn at college.

That's quite a bit different than staying at home until the kids are toddlers, then rejoining the workforce.

No, they really didn't.

Bait and switch? Really?

I can sense that you're a bit jaded on this matter, but surely some of these women just meet someone that changes their plans, right?

There's no expiration date for a college degree.

If a woman decides to stay at home, good thing to have in your back pocket down the road.

I have plenty of my classmates who earned expensive advanced degrees only to get knocked up shortly after graduation and have spent the past years not working. One of my other friends, who's a girl, doesn't understand why you would do all this work to get a Master's degree, spend all this money and then just get knocked up and stay home. Seems odd to me as well.

The critical thinking skills your gained/honed in college were of no use in your career, I'm sure.

You should stop projecting what you want to be beneficial for your argument and actually focus on the issue at hand.

You can certainly meet someone that changes your plans, but that's entirely different than, "I plan to work until I have my first kid, then stop and stay at home."

The people that were brought up aren't changing their plans; they're acting them out. You've got it completely wrong.

There actually is an expiration date. Once you've been out of the workforce for twenty years, that degree is going to be viewed entirely differently than if you are straight out of school. Much of what they will have learned will be obsolete.

Imagine if you got a degree in Computer Science in 1994, left the workforce in 1995 after you got pregnant, had two kids, and just sent the second one off to college.

How relevant are those skills now?

I can honestly say that is the case, Hamas. My skills were just fine before I went to KU. I certainly gained knowledge while there, but it isn't used in my career.

I really don't have an argument, other than to apparently counter yours. You seem to believe that there should be a "use it or don't come" requirement for college students. I just don't see what you have against someone getting an education, whether they use it directly in their chosen profession or as a parent. I don't see the difference.

Okay, that makes sense. But I would say that is a very specific case and not applicable to say a BA in Philosophy or History.

Well of course you wouldn't learn anything at KU.

You can learn for the sake of learning on your own. You can also do it at colleges with open admissions. But if you're going to a semi-competitive school with limited spots and your full intention is to work in that field for as long as it takes you to get impregnated, you're not really intending to use your degree as anything more than a rung on the social ladder, or a quasi-dowry.

Those seeking out Mrs degrees also **** over other young women, because there is an implicit assumption of risk among their employers that they made need to train a replacement within two years because they never really had any intention of pursing a career, just a placeholder job. That makes the women who actually want to put in the work appear less valuable to prospective employers.

LMAO Let's just say that I was motivationally-challenged in high school.

Okay, I suppose that makes some sense. Honestly, I had never heard of this "Mrs degree" until today. Thanks for the education.

Affirmative Action works!

Same here....

It totally changes your view on the struggles of "education" once you watch it from our side.

My mom got her teaching degree in the 60's. Married my dad, was a stay at home mom who helped 4 kids through school. **** you if you think she or we didn't get anything out of it. By the way, she went back to substitute teaching and finally full time after we all left home. I don't think she robbed anyone of their "chance" and I don't feel she wasted her efforts in college.

Jesus kid, ease back. That is some insulting shit. You want some women to surrender their college experience/desire to enter the work place because they may not stay forever to make way for those you deem more dedicated to life long careers? You'll laugh at yourself for that one day. You're too smart not to...

The entire premise of that opinion is so absurd *referring to the op comment, not yours*

How is that even possible? I heard that phrase in high school, long before I started college in 1985. Guys used it all the time.

That's truly not even possible in most parts of the country, at least in the population centers.

From my understanding, it's becoming more difficult in the KC area as well.

I have to disagree.

It's been a while since I've been in the corporate world but even 10 or so years ago, we weighted people's long term goals. If someone couldn't quickly and adequately answer the "Where do you see yourself in five years", that person was no longer considered.

If I'm hiring someone, training them, offering a competitive salary and benefits, I want to know that it isn't wasted time, money and effort.

This. Raising and nurturing children is the most important job there is.

Your absolutely right, its less and less common. My wife does it and its because with my profession we can afford it, but from everyone I know we are definitely an exception.

Hey!!!!

I had a bright orange one, as well!!! With a hood!!!

Jesus. That's not even the worst thing I wore back then.

I thought I was the only one who would be worried about hiring a woman during her peak-pregnancy years.

I know it sucks to think that way, but business is business.

Here's a new twist of a common story:

Lunch lady allegedly had sex with underage high school student and his older brother

btw, not hot

Obviously guilty based on the photo.

I didn't get out much.

She's lucky she survived the arrest/ARROW2 and dumbshitnative

This thread has degraded. Stay on topic folks - "Hot Teachers".

well said!!

My penance:

What about the people who run the cooling rods at nuclear reactors?

You'd be surprised. The field of Gender Studies has changed significantly just since I started grad school ten years ago.Literary criticism is a constantly evolving topic as is Continental Philosophy. Unless you stay "in the game", those fields can pass you by pretty quickly, too.

I shared your lack of motivation regarding high school, because I knew (as I'm sure you did) that you could show up on ACT day, do well, and get a fair amount of scholarship money. I think my class rank was like 48 out of 175 or something like that. I copied almost all of my homework and didn't study for a single test, ever.

Bet you'd be sick at Lotus and Quatro.

Let me put it this way: I don't recall ever doing any home work in high school. And I completed my ACT by answering A, B, C, D repeatedly. Maybe there was an E too, but I don't recall.

LMAO

You've got no game if you're in high school, and you end up doing the lunch lady instead of a classmate.

How else are you going to get extra tater tots?

Clearly that's how it works from the employer's side, it's sound business practice (though I never asked the canned "where do you see yourself" question :))
That wasn't my point though nor was it Jenkins'.

Would

Buckwheat?

That speaks to skill set...doesn't invalidate the degree.

"Back in the day" we only had SATs (that I know of).... I had to take mine on an alternate day than I had scheduled because the day I was setup for initially, well, the waves were over-head and glassy! In Va. Beach those days were all too rare so I opted to take the SATs later. Hey, you have to have your priorities...

Bump for research purposes.
