I thought I had commented on this but apparently it didn't post."Who was the most ignorant person you have ever met in America?" I prefer the term “Undereducated". Being undereducated isn't always a personal choice, but I can see examples of blissful egocentric ‘ignorance’ as detailed in some of the answers to this.On trip my wife Susan and I made to Florida, we had one humorous run in with innocent and untouched under education.Somewhere between 2004–2007 I think it was, my wife and I were traveling to Florida from Indiana. We stopped at a little roadside gas station on highway I65 going through Kentucky without any sign of a nearby town.When we went in to buy a drink and a snack after filling up the tank, my wife - who was born and raised in England (and has a bit of accent left, even after being naturalized US citizen) has been living here for more than 20 years. Her accent apparently caught the attention of the pretty young Kentucky lass, maybe about 16 or 17 years of age, who was managing the cash register.“"Where y’all from” she asked with a beautiful smile. I replied we were from Indiana. She giggled slightly and said. “"No, I mean ‘originally’, (then looking at my wife to address her) because I heard your accent while the two of you were talking.”Susan said “"well I've lived in Indiana since 1968, but I was born and raised in England.”Immediately the young Kentucky flower opened her eyes wide in disbelief but quickly regained her composure to say, matter of factly, “"oh…. I thought y’all was from China”…..I know I immediately pursed my lips together so as not to giggle. My wife, who looks decidedly Anglo-Saxon ‘white bread’ non-asiatic decent, managed to say “No, I'm NOT from China, and we made it out the door and to the other side of the pumps to our car -where we couldn't be seen. Then we leaned against the car and had a good laugh.This dear innocent and charming little sweetheart has hopefully had more exposure to nations, nationalities and world inhabitants beyond that of the rural area in which she grew up.

All responses here are to promote this or that email database providers. Buy buying email list is not the best solution. You should avoid buying a newsletter subscription database from a third-party company, no matter how attractive their offer seems. Sending newsletters to people who didn't give their permission will sooner or later result in your e-mail (or ever server) being banned. What's more, it throws a shadow upon the reputation of your company, and for sure you don't want that to happen.In many countries, the law regulates email business and prohibits sending newsletters to users without their voluntary compliance. Sending newsletters to users who previously unsubscribed from receiving the emails is also prohibited in this case. For instance, here is a CAN-SPAM Act, a law that sets the rules for commercial emails.

We can’t stop them calling themselves feminists.We tried to get those chips from Kingsman: The Secret Service put in their necks to make their heads explode when they refer to themselves as feminists, but apparently that’s illegal.And a bit of a logistical nightmare, to be honest, and the exploding heads would have a pretty negative impact on everyone around them when they blew up.But, yeah, freedom of speech is a thing, so we can’t stop man haters from calling themselves feminists, just like we can’t stop ISIS from calling themselves Muslims and we can’t stop people who won’t love thy neighbor from calling themselves Christians.It’s not like a club you can lose your membership to. It’s an identity, and you can’t stop people from identifying as something, even if they uphold none of its ideals.

You will have a FSA ID. Keep it somewhere secure and where you can find it when it is needed again over the time your kid is in college. Use this ID to “sign” the parent’s part of the FAFSA.Your student will have their own FSA ID. They need to keep it somewhere secure and where they can find it when it is needed again over the time they are in college. They will use the ID to “sign” their part of the FAFSA.There is no need to show your student your part of the FAFSA. I do suggest you just casually offer to help your student fill out their part of the form.The Parent’s Guide to Filling Out the FAFSA® Form - ED.gov BlogThe FAFSA for school year 2018–19 has been available since October 1. Some financial aid is first come-first served. I suggest you get on with this.How to Fill Out the FAFSA, Step by StepNotes:Reading the other answers brings up some other points:The student pin was replaced by the parent’s FSA ID and the student’s FSA ID in May, 2015. Never the twain need meet.Families each need to deal with three issues in their own way:AffordabilityIf you read my stuff you know I am a devotee of Frank Palmasani’s, Right College, Right Price. His book describes an “affordability” exercise with the parents and the student. The purpose is to determine what the family can afford to spend on post-secondary education and to SET EXPECTATIONS. He’s not talking about putting your 1040 on the dining room table, but sharing some of the basics of family finances.I get the impression that many families ignore this issue.  I have a study that shows five out of eight students assume their families are going to pay for college regardless of cost. Most of these students are in for a big surprise.PrivacySome parents may want to hold their “financial cards” closer to their chest than others. In my opinion that’s OK. I suppose an 18 year old kid, theoretically, has the right to keeping his finances private. My approach to this would not be to make a big deal out of it but to offer to help them fill out their part of the FAFSA. The main objective should be to get the FAFSA filled out properly, in a timely fashion.FraudThis is absolutely not acceptable, and, hopefully, those who try it get caught and suffer the consequences. (I had a conversation with a father recently who was filling out the CSS Profile. He wasn’t intent on committing fraud. He thought he was being clever in defining assets. After our conversation he had to file a signNow revision. This revision was a good thing because two or three years from now his mistake was going to come to light. I’m not sure what the consequences of all that would have been, but, at a minimum, it would have been a big mess to unwind.)

A lot of these questions are used in the Student Search Service for colleges who are looking to signNow out to a specific group of students. If you opted in for that, you will definitely get a considerable amount of mail/email.

Basic form The term congregationalist polity describes a form of church governance that is based on the local congregation. Each local congregation is independent and self-supporting, governed by its own members. ... Most non-denominational churches are organized along congregationalist lines.

Congregational Church Christians believe in the spiritual equality and priesthood of all believers. In practice, this means they hold to the Bible and belief in Jesus, but individual members have “the full liberty of conscience in interpreting the Gospel,” according to The Art and Practice of the Congregational Way.

Congregational churches (also Congregationalist churches; Congregationalism) are Protestant churches in the Reformed tradition practicing congregationalist church governance, in which each congregation independently and autonomously runs its own affairs.

The church believes that there are many paths to God. The United Church's path is through Jesus Christ, but the church also recognizes that Christians' understanding of this is limited by an incomplete comprehension of God; their belief is that the Holy Spirit of God is also at work through other non-Christian faiths.

Noun. A form of Protestant church government in which each local religious society is independent and self-governing. (initial capital letter) the system of government and doctrine of Congregational churches.
