Not to mention the seeming endless parade of reality shows where people audition to marry essentially (and sometimes literally) strangers. Funny how the fundies aren’t up in arms about that “devaluing” marriage.

And maybe release the cracken on Kim Davis and Mr. Huckabee?

Not directed at you, you just brought up a great point. I wish we could stop with this “marriage isn’t taken lightly”. It is. We have countless celebrities marrying for publicity and non-celebs marrying because they got drunk in Vegas, needed someone to split the rent and so forth.

RELEASE THE DOVES! Congratulations, you crazy kids!

CONGRATS MARK YOU’RE MY HERO IN MORE WAYS THAN ONE

They not only are racist as hell for assuming it was a bomb, but if they truly believed it was a bomb then they also underestimated his intelligence because they clearly assumed it wouldn't work or else they'd have evacuated the school. They are a bunch of shitty, dumb, racist assholes.

Same. I’m also amazed that they haven’t even managed a “we were doing what we thought was best for the safety of our student body at the time, but we’re sorry for the humiliation and fright our caution has caused Ahmed” pseudo apology yet. Would it kill them to fake some compassion here? They put a kid through some…

you could hit somebody over the head with a chair so everybody is going to sit on the ground now , oh and you can stab somebody with a fork (don’t even mention the knives ) so only finger food for all . But honestly you could also strangle somebody with a shirt so everybody strip please

“we cannot allow items on campus that can be perceived to pose a threat.”

This is probably naive, but I’m still amazed that they’re holding fast and tight to the three-day suspension. Even though they were proven every possible kind of wrong, and there’s no way to prove that he had intent to pose jack shit.

I’m so disgusted by MacArthur ISD’s response to this whole situation. Those involved seem to believe that they really, truly did nothing wrong. It’s atrocious.

Hahaha. RegularParrot doesn’t like the molting.

As a kid, my dream job was to be on air talent for QVC. I practiced all the time. I read that the interview consists of having to sell a pencil for an hour straight and I was pretty positive I could do that.

You sell them drunk, I buy them drunk...symbiosis.

You sell clothes, I’ll sell this thing, that looks straight out of Goodnight Mommy (that yes, my own mother bought and terrified the life out of me):

Selling my clothes drunk on HSN is my dream job.

I feel like if I had MORE confidence and maybe less boyfriend when I was younger I would have had a much more productive life.

All of those topics can be taught to both boys and girls. Boys need help with friendships and confidence, too. Both can benefit from career and college talk. These are not topics that only one gender can talk about.

lol @ “can we have TOO MUCH confidence” already undercutting, undermining them, sowing doubt. get used to it while you’re young girls!!
