I love you so much it hurts, Tracy. Since you spawned, you have become even more awesome!

Sometimes a correspondent, like "Her Son," has hung on to a thread of a relationship, but is now fearful of being further yoked emotionally or financially to a declining parent.

"I think a lot of this is that people who are close with their family don't understand the concept of not being close with your family."

Oh yeah. I've seen it happen over and over. I mean as an adult I get that there are three sides to every story: Mine, yours and the truth - but the angry self - righteousness of people who physically abused me and literally abandoned me (as opposed to the equally sucky emotional abandonment) makes flames grow out of…

My mother has a lot of mental health issues (bipolar depression and borderline personality disorder) and she doesn't process guilt at all well. So she denies things so aggressively and persistently that you start to wonder if they ever really happened. I am (mostly) estranged from her because she was emotionally…

I feel kinda bad for Jesus for having to hear her go on about it for hours.

You know, I can't help but wonder if this was actually *MEANT* to be a nice, generous deed performed by an old school Santa Claus type craftsperson who just thought they were doing something anonymous and kind for their neighbors' kids. The first neighborhood I lived in as a kid was a dead end street that offered my…

I get your point. But when you are repeatedly stopped when others aren't (see the video for the other jaywalkers) and you feel targeted because of your race or gender, it's hard to be polite and cooperative after multiple incidents like this.

When people just hand over their ID when they don't need to, or allows searches because they're "not hiding anything", they're enabling the abuse of authority and giving away everyone's rights as well.

"when you are not cooperative with the police, this is what happens"

Or idk go do something actually important and not a fucking waste of time. OOOH JAYWALKING!

I keep hearing that you don't have to present ID just for walking around. If you're driving, sure you need your driver's license, but if you're walking down the street, you don't need ID. Maybe I'm wrong, that's just what I've heard.

So the police force is a breeding ground for people who enjoy violating the civil rights of others, degrading, humiliating them and exercizing violence and abusing others while in a position of power?

If you hurry, there is surely a bus somewhere that you can step in front of and then you can find this lady and chastise her before she gets to the pearly gates (of hell, obviously this lady doesn't get to go to heaven).

Perhaps Ms. DiNino's kids have the opposite of affluenza? What would that be? Destitutia? Indigentia?

I bet this happens to middle class white people all the time.

To be honest, anything a Baby Boomer says to me is automatically suspect. You idiots spent 50 fucking years sucking off the system and giving nothing back. You've left us all with a hollowed out infrastructure and a flattened financial system. So thanks for that. Don't worry, though. Your kids will clean up your mess…

Hi there. Allow me to introduce myself. I'm a 21 year old college student with one parent from the Baby Boomer age, and one from Generation X.

Boomers caused both bubbles. They are the ones controlling the money supply and the interest rates and they are the ones that decided that investments should be made into various industries. And they are the ones that will soon retire and have the power to suck this country dry.
