Sometimes that stuff is just your strength. If my assumption is correct, you were already well-acquainted with grammar and syntax, as opposed to some other students. Regular senior English at my school was quite remedial, as most of the students hadn’t even grasped the basics yet. Many times, it just wasn’t their…

My state college grew so much in popularity in the 10 years since I graduated, that they had to adjust their admission rates and prerequisites. I had a great GPA then, but I am not entirely certain I would’ve been accepted with today’s standards.

This goes to show that middle-aged people with a large platform and multi-million dollar contracts aren’t necessarily savvy and intelligent people. They continue to get Mutombo’d by teenagers, but keep coming back for more.

And the big companies are advancing electric car technology because Musk released all of his patents to them to use for free. Sounds like a guy that doesn’t necessarily care if he makes the money himself.

Came here to post this and you took the words out of my mouth. Sometimes, these websites just want to write hit pieces on people that make a lot of money, regardless of how they’re trying to actively give it away. They’ve demonized him for his relationships, but the dude clearly has daddy issues. Billionaires aren’t…

Giving that turd the benefit of the doubt is the worst thing you could possibly do. He has no desire to elevate anyone or anything other than himself because he’s a textbook malignant narcissist. America winning in his mind screws literally everyone else.

He doesn’t have time to comment on Sacramento, but plenty of time to talk about Roseanne!

By the way, I really appreciate your calm demeanor in debating thes subjects. It’s exactly what we need: informed conversation that doesn’t devolve into pissiness. I’ve learned a lot from you and some fresh perspective.

Best case scenario, these Parkland kids continue to highlight the completely unnecessary sale of not just an assault rifle to mass shooters, but bootstraps into a greater change on the sale of guns in general and the lack of oversight.

But I 100% agree with your assessment that the NRA tries to push this narrative of it being a mental health problem and not a gun control problem. They’ve fetishized gun ownership to a frightening degree. I have a family member that continues to buy assault rifles for no reason, other than he wants to own them. I find…

You are correct that it is a small amount of gun deaths a year, but mental health is the significant contribution to mass shootings and random gun violence. I am with you that gun ownership needs to be pared down significantly, because there’s roughly 32k gun deaths a year. However, I’m referring specifically to…

You are missing the point. A licensed professional thought he was a danger to himself and to others, and she was right. He purchased an arsenal and murdered 12 people. Maybe he would have passed a mental health assessment; maybe not. There needs to be more than one way to rule that a person shouldn’t legally be…

Everything we know about Kawhi is that he isn’t an excuse maker and wants nothing more than to be on the court. It’s doubtful he’s playing some kind of diva card. Something must be very wrong.

No matter what the court decided, he was mentally ill according to his psychiatrist. Regardless of a mental health assessment, his psychiatrist could have played a role in him not being able to obtain a weapon, but she did not. The system failed in multiple ways and 12 people are dead, including one of my good…

They’ll love daddy until he dies, and then the multi-million dollar book deals will paint an altogether different picture.

By no metric should James Holmes been allowed to legally obtain a weapon. His psychiatrist testified that he had thoughts about killing daily, but she didn’t stop him. I understand that mental health shouldn’t be demonized as it is currently, but there has to be some form of checks and balances wherein a licensed…

My grandparents were both highly educated people born in the early 20’s in the Midwest, and they called each other their first names. I think the sheer fact that so many find this cringeworthy should be the only evidence you need. My god, how many couples with kids do you come in contact with daily, weekly,…

There have been more trolls on this site since the Parkland shooting than I’ve see since the Gawker days. Makes me wonder if the NRA or some such is hiring people to make absurd comments like AnneofCleves.

I dated a girl that called me ‘daddy’ during sex and it made me feel so very, very awkward.

Don’t forget this asshole wears this everyday. You can’t trust him.
