Thanks for the mini education about marginalization.

I think you are the only person, due to your personal experience, who read that much into my words. What are the "nasty things" I said about people? No really, please quote them. "The child is not entitled to that" is not nasty - it's a legal truth (and the child is puppetier's hypothetical adult child), as parents…
You have a huge chip on your shoulder, and you are putting words in my mouth. I replied to a post by cait98 which I disagreed with and finished my reply to HER with "You act as if the child is entitled to have the father pay for a degree in anything. The child is not entitled to that." I used "entitled" as a verb ("to…
I don't know what your problem is, but just stop, please.
I guess we'll have to agree to disagree whether parents paying for their kid's degree is a generosity or an obligation. It'd be nice if you could drop the antagonistic tone, though.
double post, gah.
You do realize that I wasn't the one who started this thread, right?
I don't think I was "bitching about entitled children", but thanks for that anyway.
Throughout the whole trailer I was thinking "What happens if she closes her mouth? Will she suffocate?"
I probably will, but it is clearly about a blue-haired artsy lesbian. I don't understand what your complaint is.
""I am not saying [...] that my child MUST study STEM. [...] I said I would only pay for a STEM degree." Then, you claim you're not saying "my child must pursue STEM or else!"
It’d just be nice if making business nice didn’t also involve making coach so shitty that it helped breed class resentment.
Articles like this one also help breed class resentment.
I've only ever flown business class once in my life, thanks to an unexpected upgrade, but honestly, I don't begrudge those who care afford…
Agreed. And it's not even that subtle. She's a painter! She has fluorescent blue hair! Of course she's a lesbian! You end up with this massive cliche that just keeps on reinforcing itself.
Maybe Hollywood can throw some condom usage into mainstream movies too. If a Martian landed on Earth and was forced to watch 100 contemporary movies, especially romantic comedies, the Martian would come away not knowing what condoms even are.
I was a pretty mellow kid, but the clown episode of Are You Afraid of the Dark? has left perhaps a lifelong impression on me. And not in the good way. That shit was completely terrifying. Gah.
1. He didn't have a stroke.
2. So because others have gotten away with it, he should too? What's the point of having laws then?
3. He's a violent, misogynistic asshole. I think 1,000 hours of actual work will do him some good.
The guards were terrifying and annoyingly...arbitrary. So the kid is making his/her way through the temple, winning the game, and then BAM! a guard jumps out and the kid has to give up half a pendant, often losing the entire game. Like...what's the point? It's not like the contestant could have purposefully avoided…
Absolutely. No kid contestants. Just kids of the 90s. (This shouldn't be a problem. No kids will even watch these shows; they'll be too distracted with their iToys.)
At 26, I still wonder, had I been a contestant on Guts, whether or not I would have conquered the Aggro Crag.
How about we get rid of all reality TV - well maybe not the cooking shows - and replace it with Double Dare, Legends of the Hidden Temple, and Guts? Obviously hosted by Marc Summers, Kirk Fogg, and Mike O'Malley, respectively, in all their greying hair glory?
