It’s been a long time since I was in High School, but this was definitely a thing that happened regularly. Nobody ever got in trouble, unless it got physical.

What you say is true. However Porter comes out on top, and you sound like a jealous asshole. 

Both of my sons wore dresses/skirts when they were teens. I was proud of them! (not that it matters, but they both outgrew it, and both have girlfriends - not that I know the details about their sexuality!)

I just raged for about 5 minutes to my husband about how these fucking people need to retire already! It’s irresponsible and the height of selfishness (narcissism) that they refuse to hand over the reins to the next generation. (we are of that lost generation - x. not a boomer, not a millenial, rarely heard) 

Hmmm... in some cases, that wouldn’t be bad. 

I hope this is true, but I have so little faith in our legal system that I can’t help but think the PR firm they hired made sure all the ugly stuff was scrubbed before this suit was filed. 

This was my first cynical take when I read about his lawsuit.
He’ll be invited to the White House, lauded as a brave, young man standing up to the evil media, and become a puppet of the right wing regime.
Money and endorsements to follow. 

I love the responses you’re getting from the folks unwittingly proving your point!

I am a total Jo Ann fangirl (is that a thing anymore? I’m also old). She is shaking shit up and I am here for it! (god, I probably sound like a grandma)
Chloe is also the shit!

Portland Police have never not been racist. 

Back in the day, you could be proud to be an Ohioan!

He’s an actor. I’m going for just plain dumb. 

I have mixed feelings about home-schooling. While I think it can border on indoctrination, it is also helpful for students with disabilities that can not be accommodated in the (public) school system. I put that parenthetical in there, because I also am a firm supporter of public education (but only if everyone…

I should have scrolled. I just said almost the same thing above. Don’t vaccinate your child - they’re quarantined for life. 

That truly is one of the most offensive things about all of this. And the sheer selfishness of not giving a shit if your child is disease-carrying danger to everyone around it.
If you don’t want to vaccinate your child, don’t bring it into society. Quarantined for life. 

I live in Portland (across the river from Vancouver - I can see it from my backyard), and there was a recent poll that came out that the schools with the most unvaccinated rates - they were religious and waldorf schools. So while a lot of what you say may be true, there is also the crunchy naturopathic ideal is also…

And she’s basically admitting it was a hollow gesture, since the attention was what was important to her, not the actual trip. 

I’m banned here, so I have no idea if my comments are seen by anyone. But the fact that Jezebel, of all sites, are championing Salinger is laughable. 

I still mentally add the Lil. 

No croutons, they have carbs. Maybe a garbanzo bean?
