Maybe they care because they are supposed to be preparing these young individuals to succeed in life, which includes dressing and acting professionally and responsibly? And getting in the habit and being taught the manners to do so?

I still don’t fully understand why tormenting and assaulting people with words is perfectly legal, whereas a physical smack is highly illegal and condemned to the highest degree. From being a long time victim of childhood teasing, I can confirm that a one time, short physical pain is much preferable to the words that…

Gonna disagree on that one. Many cattle are killed per year, hundreds. Even more sheep. Not as many horses, but a few. They definintly can and do take down those animals regularly. Hell, Ranchers up there will pay you $40 cash for a dead Coyote since even those will cause them problems.

I completely object to the shooting of this animal, but I can see and understand where the ranchers come from on this. Their livelihood is literally being eaten up by these. They see their ability to feed their family and pay the bills dwindle every time they wake up and find one, two, or more of their livestock…

... and some of us managed to get a coherent discussion across without resorting to nasty language. In my experience, that usually means the person has realized they’re on the wrong side and is panicking or is trying to mask that they can’t quite come up with a logical or defensible position anymore. And I also…

Nikki is right. Pick your battles or you dilute it and no one pays attention to you. There are a million examples of people calling liberals “libtards” and “overly sensitive” “snowflakes” because of crap like this and completely shutting down to hearing any sort of discussion or persuasion, or even painfully obvious…

FFS, get over yourself.

Well, it has been nice having the discussion with you. I am being honest there and not sarcastic - I really appreciate it and appreciate you not just shutting down and/or raging like so many other do.

Of course they did. If they didn’t it would be even more of a PR nightmare as people rage against them from “denying any wrong doing.” Easily observable as the lesser of two evils. Especially with today’s attention span, just do it an move on.

After reading this I am reminded of the old adage:

Good point. At the end of the day, she still has more money and power than pretty much all of those people in that room will ever have.

Making America (n Airlines) Great Again!

While United didn’t do a great job with the PR side of things, you all do realize that is wasn’t United who actually did any of that, right? Security who hurt the man and did terrible things wasn’t United, baggage handlers aren’t all United (many are airport employees)?

This is where things get more complex that I was trying to get at. Going by the standard should be in the best interest of the child, unfairly discriminating against allowing LGBT people to adopt does not seem to affect that.

Good thoughts that lead to some interesting things to think about. A child being involved does complicate things, in many ways much more intricate than just sexual orientation and identity of potential parents. I assume that if the child is old enough (i.e., not an infant) it has some say as to if the go to a…

As much as I hate bigots and people living in the stone age on this issue, I actually don’t know what to think about this decision. Discrimination is awful, but at what point does discrimination of discrimination cross the line? A lot of discrimination is outright terrible and bad and cannot be tolerated. But at…

Well, since you know my aunt so well......

How is this the problem of the defendants? What is the argument for their liability? The article didn’t really explain that, which should be a basic thing the research and dumb down for the article skimming populous.

Headline: “United accuses man of crime literally because of the color of his skin.”
