So if you do okay in life why should your teachers have been punished because you did poorly on tests?

Well, if I let it fail then I’m out of a job, so...

You have to tell us...

I know how a boycott is supposed to work. I’m questioning who this boycott hurts. Boycotting isn’t the only form of protest. If the state’s revenue falls who do you think will hurt first? You think the state legislature is gonna cut their own salaries before the assistance programs they deem unnecessary? You think

The tax paid was just a percentage of the proceeds paid to the center. A reasonable protest would not have the people who are supposed to be the beneficiaries set up to be collateral damage. The state will still receive money from people stuck there, those people will continue to live and need support.

The point is that it isn’t a “token gesture” the money went to a place where it will help the people most impacted by this law and support its repeal.

Your assumption is incorrect. I’m hourly, the only reason it isn’t tanking the department budget is that they never filled a vacancy so the wages allotted to that role cover my overtime. I don’t mind, I'm not regularly hitting the 50-55 hour mark, the extra 5 hours is an extra day’s pay after taxes, just not necessary

Holy continuity error. Where does the roof of that scooter come in?

The beginning of my week is spent on useless busy work to keep myself occupied until I have the information to do what I actually get paid for. If those above me stopped procrastinating I wouldn't constantly be going into overtime.

The one person you can come up with is a horrible person all her own.

“Treat others as they ask to be treated.”

You can certainly be disadvantaged due to racial identification if you have no desire to walk away from that identification. You’re premise is that people who can pass don’t count as victims of racial injustice because they choose not to betray their identity.

Low voltage is where you will get hit. Lost thousands of dollars in equipment at work because they skimped on protection. Traveled over coax, cat5e and DMX cables.

When my friend was deployed to Iraq (the first time) she had a private concert for the company and all the family/friends saying goodbye. (I had to leave half an hour before it started, but apparently it was great)

And I think just the opposite, private citizens doing more to improve the lives of others can be much more effective than government programs. If more people gave privately that burden would be taken off the government.

You know who’s not pregnant? Angelina Jolie. You know why not?

To you, to me, to most of the people reading this site, yes. But there are plenty of people to whom it isn't obvious or who will say that little girl was overreacting because all that boy wanted to do was give her a hug or a kiss. It's the toddler equivalent of a guy calling a woman a bitch when she refuses a catcall.

*sticking. I swear I typed sticking up for ourselves

But it’s not being used ironically. He calls for violent acts to be committed on people based on groups they fall into. He's inciting violence and fueling hate.

I read “a cloud of penises”
