Follow the chain. Didn’t say anything about the actual event. I was originally responding to someone who said a 13 year old isn’t a 5 year old and should know better. I simply stated a 5 and 13 year old are both children. If you disagree with that, feel free to respond.

Actually, legally they do.

Mine weren’t as bad with the jesus stuff, but when I asked my mom what fingering was when I was 9, the mortified look on her face told me not to ask anymore sex stuff. Instead of I turned to Our Bodies Ourselves. So great!!

What the hell is wrong with this girl?

Dear Congressional Republicans,

The whole thing is absurd.

I completely agree. I don’t get it either. I think it has something to do with Kaepernick being “uppity” and he needs to just “shut up and entertain me”, but who knows.

I don’t think those people are mutually exclusive.

Couldn’t agree more. The American flag and national anthem stands for all those people who died at Normandy or Tripoli so that Ben Roethlisberger could play football.
