  1. I have no idea what you are or what you purport to be, that’s not really the point of the discussion. McCormick’s bill is a joke. You can see his colleagues pulling their collar’s in nervousness when the issue comes up. It will never make it into law and if it somehow does, the federal courts will strike it down. Emotions are high, but let’s not get ridiculous here.
  2. Having been on the receiving end, I know it’s far more than that; however, I’m sympathetic to your viewpoint that nobody likes a whiner.
  3. You’re being dramatic. But that’s the beauty of the anonymity that comes with the internet, it allows one to express their viewpoint in a decidedly more strident fashion.
  4. Did you not read the comment I quoted? It was about being ganged up on for your views in this forum. Google context clues.
  5. Again with the insults, I’m close to calling of the truce. I didn’t think that it needed to be stated that it was a comment about the board in general, rather than this particular discussion on abortion.
  6. The pendulum has swung the other way now, which usually happens during a correction. Eventually it will swing back towards the middle.
  7. Yeah, that’s the worst part about the CR. Meaningful discussion can’t happen if you’re afraid of stepping on toes.
  8. Wasn’t the Politico journalist on Maddow about 5 minutes after he published the story? That doesn’t scream majority leak to me.
  9. That’s fucking embarrassing. What was their sales pitch? “You’re the missing piece we need to get to 4-8.”
  10. Reed should’ve spent the night in the drunk tank and been released. Swapping a drug smuggler for this kid seems ridiculous on its face, but honestly whatever it takes to get him home. Props to Biden.
  11. If Elon has any trolling skills, he’ll move the headquarters to Moscow, Texas.
  12. You’ll have to forgive me if I missed some comments. I had more than 50 or so notifications and it’s impossible to properly address every point. My position isn’t all that unique and really at this point I feel like anything I add would be overkill. I really seem to have angered people, even if that wasn’t my intention.
  13. It’s times like these where it would be nice to scrimmage other teams. I can’t put any stock into what I saw since we’re lacking any true pass rushers. We did it in high school and you found out if you measured up real quick.
  14. Of course, but 6 certainly isn’t the right age. Also, like I mentioned previously, I’m not holding a kid to the same standard as an adult.
  15. I don’t hold children to the same standard as an adult. I wouldn’t expect them to know any better. We’re fighting an uphill battle on information, I’d prefer to view the teacher as an ally.
  16. This seems sensible, I mean it’s a matter of when not if these conversations happen. Some of us just want these conversations to be had with the parent and at the right age, which I don’t think is hateful or unreasonable.
  17. It’s inconceivable, to me at least, that any teacher would discuss the matter to a child my son’s age. That’s just in general, of course. Now specifically about my situation, sure I’m not overly concerned about it from the teachers I know. They seem to have a solid grasp of appropriate behavior. Barring some nervous breakdown or, say, some similarly stressing situation.
  18. Personal attacks aside, I know my children’s teachers very well actually. My wife and I actually chaperoned a field trip recently, at my son’s request. Sadly, there weren’t any wedding ceremonies, so maybe I’ll see them on the next field trip. It’s one of the benefits being able to work remotely, I get to spend a lot of time with my kids. I would assume it’s one of the reasons this discussion is so bewildering to me. There’s no way is teacher, nor any of the others I’ve met, would discuss such a matter. It’s just beyond comprehension.
  19. No offense, I’m not being snarky, but I think you should read the last few pages. That point has been addressed ad nauseam.
  20. Talking about homosexual relationship with my 6 year old is inappropriate. Still, after a night of drinking, the spring game, and getting 2 commitments, I’m on a political thread. I’m hoping this is Surly Horns rock bottom.
