Aw come on, Bratz dolls show our willingness to accept those with hideously ill-proportioned facial features. It's a wonderful display of tolerance! People with grotesquely misshapen eyes and lips are people too!
:chuckle:

You know what distorts their features, don't you? It's those all night, head pounding raves while hyped up on X

Dumb Bratz, they can't even spell. They Must go to public school, they sure dress like it.

:crackup: I would bet a million $'s these are not put out by a bunch of people who were home-schooled.

Why are the dolls sluts?
They aren't, any more than a rock is hard-headed. But, they are part of a national unorganized indoctrination of young ladies that it's OK to dress sensually and attract young men, leading both down a path that leads places they would regret for their entire lives.

I don't know. I've never heard of any successful product put out by a bunch of people who were home-schooled.

until he entered college; didn’t learn to read until age 11
"What need was there to read when I could spend hours
listening to others read aloud?"

Franklin Delano Roosevelt, 32nd

Other Founding Fathers
Benjamin Franklin

at 10, father taught him to love good books, at 16 his first
essay was published

Alexander Hamilton, statesman, politician
taught by his mother and a clergyman, worked in a general store

"Give me Liberty or give me Death."

George Mason, Revolutionary statesman

Other Famous Non-Schoolers
Ansel Adams, photographer
". . . had difficulty adjusting to traditional schools. His father decided to teach him at home, and the next
years were extremely fruitful. Learning experiences were always tapped into the young bo
y's intrinsic
interests and ranged from playing the piano to visiting an exposition.
Years later, after he had become internationally known for his creative photography, Adams paid tribute to
the courage of a father who was willing to take risks, to listen to that "different drummer" unique to each
child. In his autobiography, Adams wrote:
'I am certain he established the positive direction of my life that otherwise, given my native hyperactivity,
could have been confused and catastrophic. I trace who I am and the direction of my development to
those years of growing up in our house on the dunes, propelled especially by an internal spark tenderly
kept alive and glowing by my father.'"

become one of the world’s richest men.

Charles Dickens, author, A Christmas Carol
couldn’t afford school; "passions for reading were awakened by his mother" who
also taught him English and later, Latin

Thomas Edison, inventor of light bulb, phonograph
When the teacher called him "addled," Edison’s mother told him that her son had "more sense in his little
finger than you have in your entire body." She took him out of school and taught him herself, making learning
fun for him. She bought him books of experiments; then he went off on his own. Later, he hired a staff of
educated scientists to work on the electric bulb, finally firing them all and figuring it out himself.

Robert Frost, poet, Pulitzer prize winner
disliked school so much he became physically ill; what schoolwork
he did was done at home until he passed the entrance exams
and entered high school.

exams ever reported

Margaret Mead, Anthropologist
"Some years we went to school. Other years we stayed at home and Grandma taught us."
"On some days she gave me a set of plants to analyze; on others, she gave me a description and sent
me out to the woods and meadows to collect examples, say, of the 'mint family.' , , , She taught me
to read for the sense of what I read and to enjoy learning."
"Grandma . . . . seldom took more than an hour a day and left me . . . much time on my hands while
other children were in school.
One of Margaret's oldest friends told her in later years, "In my house I was a child. In your house
I was a person."

Only one of those (Edison) has anything to do with what I said. And I'm not sure if he applies. Did they have American public schools at that time?

I did not say that there were no succesful home-schooled people. That would be ridiculous. I said I had not heard of any products produced by the aforementioned that had been successful. (truthman did point out Edison, though.)

And I'm sure some of those lives were those of people who went to public school, so your point is worthless.

I could of sworn there was a post here by Poly, but it disappeared.

To answer the deleted question, I have not heard of any.

Regardless, it also shows that 'unsocialized' home schoolers can work together as a team with the world to make a product that shines.
