Because it would have been a teachable moment to kids. What the school did is not a solution. The solution implies that the problem was with his bag and interest in MLP, NOT the behavior of the other kids.

I highly doubt that some bullies would have stopped once Grayson stopped bringing his bag to school. They…

Why does NBC give a platform to John Ziegler. He seems toxic and gives no evidence to Sandusky's supposed innocence. If anything, if Dottie Sandusky is in denial, he seems like a horrible influence on her to accept reality. I mean, look at the way he prompts her to use the same excuses he spouts on his stupid…

That was pretty much me every time he came on the TV during the olympics. Oh and me yelling at the TV going: "Go home Bob! Stop spreading your pink eye!".

Wait, what?! He's in his mid 40s?! MIND BLOWN.

God.. was that more than 10 yrs ago? I feel old...

But you are not the person OP is referring to. You just said you don't advocate spanking. I was spanked, I turned out fine. Do I think it's a good tool to make children behave or learn a lesson? from my experience, a big fat no. Do I think OP is talking about me? No. OP is talking about those who say they were…

I do think there is some religious aspect of the "no gay Koreans" thing, but I also think this (insane) opinion is reflected mostly in the older generation. I don't know why they think this, but I sometimes wonder if it might be a visibility issue (most of the LGBT community was closeted during their time growing…

This! Within the cities, it's quite blue, but you go right outside, and it's RED RED RED.

The amount of people I worked with who thought public employees were spoiled for even having collective bargaining rights to begin with, and who said "what does it matter if the equal pay rights act is repealed? People get paid…

Yea. Seems a tricky business with surrogacy. Also, mind boggling that women love being pregnant because the very thought of it terrifies me. lol

I'm trying to dig up an article I read a couple of years ago but I can't find it for the life of me...

It interviewed several pairs of parents and surrogates and talked about their experiences. I think out of the 5 or 6 surrogate women they interviewed, most of them were motivated by the love of being pregnant. I…

I never understood this thinking. Do these men think that gay men don't exist unless they are out? Or somehow coming out flips a switch and gay men somehow forget to act like normal human beings in the locker room? Wish I could see what scenario they are imagining.

Yes, I'm guessing starving yourself once in awhile is fine. But it's not like you can starve yourself every day. I think bokjoy was intending the example to show that it's probably not sustainable or healthy to have a net negative caloric intake on a daily basis (in that sense, I do agree. depleting all your energy…

This so much. I seriously doubt he has a case. He didn't make this an issue until he failed the class. If he really wanted to succeed in the class, he should have brought up the issue with the professor or administrator on the FIRST DAY OF CLASS.

Relax, this is just an example. It's a hypothetical of "if you need 1200 cal to maintain organ/brain function" etc etc. Please see bokjoy's original post. I am just summarizing bokjoy's original post to make it clearer on the meaning of "net negative calories".

Again, the post was to summarize what bokjoy had said. …

I'm not distinguishing between exercise or normal calories burned, I'm just using the example that bokjoy used to illustrate the "net negative" that was mentioned.

Summary (with revisions):

Please write more. This is far better. I want to know what happens at the Salem Institute!

Exactly. I'm all for alternative ending fan fic, but at least stick to the canon. UGH

Yes! I said this while watching the half time show. They both are classy dressers and give off a similar vibe. Also, their music definitely is a throw back.

Same here, but instead of MIL, it's my mother. She told me that, as a woman, it is my duty to spit out babies. CLEARLY, I am not doing my duty and am a horrible person for not wanting babies all the time.
