In the 30 years since you’ve been in college, we’ve found - like most of BF Skinner’s horseshit, it doesn’t work. It allows kids to bully other kids while you focus on maintaining order in the classroom. Not beneficial for kids in any way

Bingo. This enables bullying. A strong life lesson is, you can’t always rely on authority figures to mete out justice at every turn. Sometimes its up to you.

Ladies: Less is more when it comes to makeup!!

The problem with that is that the ‘proper steps’ to resolve conflict in many people’s minds are actually only ‘proper’ and not really steps that resolve conflict other than teaching children to bottle up their resentments.

I once read a statement something along the lines of “the first person that verbally abused someone instead of bashing in their brains with a rock set the cornerstone for society.”

It seems like babying because it is. If my kid came home with a note like that I would first be confused then annoyed. Why are you even bothering with shit like this? The little shit stole her pencil and all he got as a response was being compared to a video game character?

Doesnt work at all. the kids just learn to be cruel in ways that dont get scored or punished. the insults are better

If they did, they wouldn’t say.

So what you’re saying is that people who have broken the law to come to this country, broken the law to stay in this country, and likely broken the law to work in this country, should feel perfectly comfortable going to a place populated by people who ENFORCE the law, and where people are judged and sentenced for…

“stopping insults early”? I’m actually curious if that actually works or if it backfires. I’d argue tame insults are an extremely harmless way of venting anger towards somebody who has wronged you. Better than bottling up until you can’t take it and punch the person.

As always, Homer knows best:

This is my new excuse for nothing ever working. I’m either too pretty, or the people I’m dating are.

I do think there’s a special hate-on certain types of people have for a woman who is loud about her happy sex life

She’s a faux liberal. Her uncritical coverage of President Obama and Hillary Clinton lost me long ago. I’d love to see coverage of climate change, Saudi Arabia beheading children for peaceful pro-democracy protest, America’s war crimes, what’s happening in South America etc. I read international news. MSNBC is lousy.…

Oh my god, what if Hillary killed Vince Foster because he found out about lesbians peeing on her?

As a nurse, I have taken care of waaaaaay too many people post mandolin-accident. I won’t use one.
