I LIKED “Far and Away” Tom got beat up a lot in that one

as opposed to cannon fodder for ACTUAL shooters? Glad to know where your priorities are - Guns before Children

blaming and recognizing the prejudices of the time are two different things. This didn’t just happen to the Ingalls family, it also happened to the Native Americans who were pushed out of their lands and way of life

thank you for that memory :-)

I think in the era of reexamining why we have Confederate statues, we should do an honest revisit of the stories. People who prefer their fairy tales can be butt hurt.

can you cite an example of a Canadian coming to the US for healthcare?

and reading this article, do you honestly think privatizing would give better results?

and easy to find yourself picking your teeth up off the floor if you don’t ask permission

there are a lot of openly gay men who will grope women under the pretense of ‘it doesn’t matter cause I’m gay’ - with no understanding that HER feelings matter. A badly closeted man can be worse, using this behavior to show his ‘straightness’

so honestly, now that you have heard different perspectives on how women feel about being described as ‘female’ how will that impact your usage of the word?

not really the point of this discussion in the least you know. But how very ‘woke’ of you

yeah, I’ve gotten the same, with “That’s just the way he is” I started answering with “He touches me again I call the cops on him and you since you have been warned. Cause that’s just the way *I* am” or if you prefer a less confrontational approach. Tell them what’s up, if they tell you to ‘ignore it’ ask them to…

psst. They now have a salted caramel milkshake too

stop digging, you are just making yourself look stupider

I have no sympathy for brick and mortar, and malls specifically. I can walk thru a large mall and maybe 3 stores will carry plus sizes, including those who WILL take my money to order it online but WON’T carry plus size in store, so screw them. I went online out of necessity years ago - now it’s their turn. PS the…
