Counting back change is the easiest thing to learn, I did at age 7.
Problem today, is kids aren't taught it at any age.

Any kid that had a paper route know how to make change back in my day.  Back then kids also collect money for there paper route. 

If someone did not pay it came out of the kids pay until they would pay.  Sometimes they had problems pay for a month or two, but they would always pay up.  Dad would always say trust them there good people, they will pay up.

I've had this happen to me. I'm more than capable of doing math. Here's probably what happened, or at least what happened in my situation. When you stand there scanning stuff all day rhythmically pushing buttons on a machine it's utterly mind numbing. You enter a trance, especially when things are non-stop for hours on end. To cope with the boredom your mind wanders thinking about other things, like tests you need to study for when you get off work. When you make a mistake and have to snap out of your hypnosis it's not difficult to screw up on things like you mentioned. That's why they probably grab a calculator. Most of those kids working the register are probably capable of doing simple math.

I dunno... it just seems so simple.... 

Hey JPR, please:

1) Respond to Solar's request.
2) Give your best post refuting why you think Hussein Obama is not a Marxist.

and

3) If you do and stay, come clean about your political affiliation.

Otherwise, it's been real.

Smooches,

Good point, we've already made the case that he's an admitted Communist, maybe JRP can make a case as to why he's not.
This should be interesting.

After reading that uselectionatlas forum the thing that strikes me is how utter angry and petty these people are. These leftists are so putrid and vile its hilarious to read their forum

But when all they see is racism because they are racist themselves, then how can they not be angry all the time? 

I applaud the mods of this forum for having to deal with these tedious attacks.

We don't really mind them all that much, as long as it's just posting, and not server attacks like we get quite often (we're doing something Right).
Though the Atlas forum isn't necessarily a lib forum, but a forum with a lot of libs.

But we like to use these people as teaching tools for our readers, the people that don't quite understand what is going on in the nation, and how the left is trying to destroy capitalism.

In an open forum, where dissenting views are welcome, the lib quickly discovers they have absolutely no ground to stand on, their premise is all about destruction and division.

Aha, I understand, what is sad though is that they are so indoctrinated they can't even comprehend economic and sociological facts when smacked repeatedly with it. But you can't save'em all.

I understand your strategy, and it is a good one, for all the lurkers that are capable of taking in new information that are reading the trolls ludicrous arguments and CPF relentlessly countering their fallacies with facts is a very effective way of getting people thinking eventually becoming conservative. Even if it doesn't make conservative right away they need to start getting the facts if they are to stay intellectually honest with themselves and that will make them conservative in the long run.

Exactly! We're panting seeds.

Must be a lot of "stupid glue" out there.
