Here’s the thing though, when you start on the “parents know best” trend, then why value expert opinion at all? What if parents don’t want their kids going to school? Or what if they feel it’s okay for them to get married at age 13? The state acts as somewhat of an advocate for all citizens, including children.

Right, so they want to take that kid, with all the machines, across the world for a treatment that might not work.

Well, I think that the ex-wife is not an asshole. Naive perhaps, but I see no reason to call her an asshole.

Somebody who has a criminal record and whose only obvious redeeming quality is his looks?

And this bullshit is part of the reason for all the gun violence in Chicago Trump can’t shut the fuck up about. People like to point out that Illinois has strict gun laws as evidence that gun control doesn’t work while ignoring that Illinois has an open border with Ohio and a huge portion of the guns used to commit…

Have we already eliminated the possibility of zombie bite?

You’d think with the overwhelmingly shitty success rate of the phrase “do you know who I am” ppl would stop saying it

Having a number in your name doesn’t make you something special. I just means that your family was too lazy to come up with a new name.

Any chance he did some drugs in the bathroom? I bet he did. I am very smart, FYI.

More twists than an M. Night Shymalan film.

You also should not have a dog.
