I wasn’t attempting to give him any “credit”... my point was as long as he keeps his mouth shut lets other people do their jobs and keeps the cash coming in.. he will make money and the businesses do well.. When he steps outside of that, well...... it gets messy..

And yes, he’s not formally trained as an engineer..…

Musk is a good money man and a decent engineer.. but neither have anything to do with making a business run well, coming up with concepts that people will actually want, and long term strategies for growth (especially when those strategies are tied with his personal “creed” which runs contrary to most people on the…

True.. but its also baked into what’s going on.

Han/Luke/Leia are in episodic movies spanning 10-20 (even 30 years) in story time.. and while the story involves them, the way its designed, they just pawns in the larger game of chess.. this is not to say they are not important, because they are.. but pawns are also…

Hardly my shame, since I’m a fervent believer in understanding and studying history specifically so we don’t repeat the same mistakes (or mistakes that are adjacent to those made previously).

But if the average person really studied and understood history (REAL history, not the white washed disney’fied version of it),…

But that is the “american way”.. to ignore/contort/distort history to be a tool to validate horrendous actions because they know the vast majority of people don’t read/study even like history (Except when it suits their purposes/position) and its easy to fool them by using out of context and very very far out thinking…

But that’s not how the legal system works with regards child support and alamony.

One person could be a literal pauper and the other a multi-billionarie.. and if the billionaire has better lawyers (and you know they do) and has custody of the child.. then the courts will often award them child support based on the…

Who said anything about holding the child blameless...

I don’t recall ever saying “the child should be blameless, its all the parents fault”..

What I said was “the parents should ultimately be held responsible”. No different than insurance companies holding YOU responsible for your actions if you run over someone..…

This is not a black or “other” thing... this is a “I believe the parents should be held accountable for the actions of their child up until they are considered a legal adult” thing.. full stop.. I don’t care about race, sexual orientation, if the child jaywalked or shot 50 people.. it doesn’t matter.. Since pretty…

If she’s a gold digger then she got scammed.. Cheato is a gold plated turd... shiny on the outside... buuuuttttttt... we know what’s inside is worthless.

More likely there is a prenup clause about jail time and stipends to be paid in that eventually.. he seems like the type to write in something like, “extreme legal issues will bar my female associate, to be known publicly as “wife” from collecting any additional money or adjustments to the financial terms laid out in…

If I can add a little more historical context:

1786, earlier neger (1568, Scottish and northern England dialect), negar, negur, from French nègre, from Spanish negro (or black).

From the earliest usage it was “the term that carries with it all the obloquy and contempt and rejection which whites have inflicted on blacks”…

But that’s just it... parents ARE (at least until the age of legal adult) held accountable (in most cases) for the actions of their children.. The problem is this is done selectively rather than a blanket (ALL actions).. Personally speaking, I think under the age of 18, parents SHOULD be held liable for the actions of…

I disagree slightly..

SOME of his MOST ORGANIZED violent base are already in jail.. There are still many others that are less organized (to say nothing of the individuals... or as the media loves to dub them: lone wolves.. They are not really “lone wolves”.. more like individual wolves that have a common goal but are…

I agree she COULD do something with PR.. but again, the other wrinkle in this is she’s NOT a part-time resident in PR. (people tend to do more when it aligns with their own interests.. most of the mega donors to HI recently have been those with (financial) ties to the island. (Bezos owns land there, Same for Oprah,…

And I think you missed the comment I made about that..

The state government does NOT want her (or anyone) stepping in.. There have been numerious attempts (some by celebs, some by others).. and in all cases, it ultimately went no place because its a problem the state government doesn’t want FIXED... (why is an open…

You would be surprised..

Not to mention there are a lot of people that simply want to ban ANY public access to sexual health (including reproductive health).

As a society, we are taking massive leaps BACKWARDS to the “dark ages” when people’s reproductive knowledge was limited to just knowing it involves a man and woman and that’s pretty much…

Again, I’m not going to inject more than what’s said..

But I personally don’t have an issue with this, even if this was my child. From what we do know (based on the details) that the child entering has happened multiple times (how many we don’t know).. with no resolution (I don’t know if the parents were brought into…

Correct, and her acknowledging her loss of temper and not trying to shift the blame (what’s it this week?.. Advil made me do it?) gives her a point in her favour.. too many cases where people do crap like this (or far worse) and then want to blame everyone/everything including the victim as opposed to simply “Hey, I…

Yeah, the pulling of the sister’s hair makes no sense.. and definitely moves the bar.. (I forgot about that part).
