I don't know. Why exercise? Why practice? Why study? All of those things suck, so why even do them? Why develop a palette?

Cute if he was 16. As a grown man he should have the skills to compromise with you rather than throw up for an hour.

You mean the people at the office that do not ever get invited to lunch.

Of course all of this is a 1st world problem...

Know what's best for them? Yeah. Parents never break dreams or do things just because that is how it was done to them.

That is not bravery. That is stupidity. There is a big difference.

Europeans - still kings of the flop

Meh - This is happening in neighborhoods no one cares about in a city that has been abandoned by white people. Better the blacks be fought there than here.

Her education is probably fine. You have to remember America is all about hyperbole and "over the top" descriptions/comparisons. It is all over our media and culture. If she did not compare her situation to concentration camps then no one would even have listened to her.
