Also don't bring children into poverty. If you do you are a bad parent.

I wouldn't go so far as to say poverty is always the person's fault -- there are layoffs and medical bankruptcies and other unfortunate things that happen, and while it is possible to be self made in America, if those things happen in your 50s or 60s -- there just isn't that much time to get back on track because businesses are not clamoring to hire 50 yr olds. BUT I will say if you are young and unemployable for years on end -- with no medical/health issues -- you bear some responsibility. The U.S. has free public education, and yet in the part of Baltimore that's been the focus for the last 2 days -- the HS graduation rate is 60%. Whose fault is that besides the kids and the parent -- it certainly wasn't money that kept you from going to school, as is often the case in other countries?? What type of job do you think you'll find in 2015 without a HS degree? And in the same part of Baltimore the unemployment rate is about 20% -- is there something that prevents these people from finishing HS, getting a degree, and moving to wherever they can find a job? There are southern states with manufacturing jobs, and there are very underpopulated states like North and South Dakota with unemployment rates under 5% that will hire HS grads in certain positions and let them move up through hard work. So you pretty much need a HS degree and enough money to pay your bus fare to the Dakotas and you can live at least a lower middle class life. What is stopping these people?? Why is it preferable to stay in the inner city and deal drugs or hang out on street corners or do whatever it is they do all day?

Guess you haven't watched the wire

No I haven't. So if the Wire answers it -- please share. What prevents these people from completing a free high school education and then moving to wherever they can secure a job that'll give them some upward mobility. I really don't think this is SO difficult. It's not like I'm saying that everyone has to graduate high school and then go on to college and medical school. But they can't get a HS diploma and move into a manufacturing job someplace??

Black people need to get their shit together. Seriously. It's been 50 years since civil rights. Perhaps white people aren't the problem?

Here's my controversial minority opinion: Confederate flags, paraphernalia, celebrations, basically anything positive to do with the South in the Civil War should be obliterated Soviet-style. First Amendment? They didn't want to be part of the Constitution anyway, so tough shit on that. The South lost a war. When a rebellion fails, you get flattened, because you lost. Don't like it? Should have won. In some places they round you up and shoot you. That these treasonous symbols are still allowed to be marched around proudly 150 years later is weak sauce.

All those foreginers (and americans) who say they dislike us secretly love us.

All this democrat/republican bullshit has to stop. Liberals act conservatively, conservatives act liberally. Sometimes Scandinavia has something worth copying, sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes the north is embarrassing, sometimes the south is embarrassing.

Thick is okay, just not too thick. Veiny is a plus, not too veiny.

While I don't want a micro penis, I prefer a man on the smaller side.

I really don't like circumcised dick.

I'm picky about dicks.

You would love my dh.

Did you read the part that said over 35. Now we know where your dc gets his SN from

Whoa, let go of the anger.

Philosophies from people like Sheryl Sandberg and the Yahoo CEO have actually set women backwards. ..not forward. It's actually a backlash against the life of a woman. Family life has been vilified. Things are not easier for women..they are harder. You have to prove yourself all the time. Even if you are a SAHM...you have to account for your time and prove your worth.

Yes...I think all our kids are, and will likely continue to be fucked up as parenthood is not the priority. .it's narcissm that is the priority.

I am a liberal agnostic and I cringe when I read or see the Duggars...crazy belief system, but, yeah, they have great well adjusted kids. All 19 of them. I wonder. ....

How interesting.

You should watch what's going on in PA. They are pretty much trying to do that for defining the scope of charitable entities. Been going bath and forth for years. Now they are just trying to amend their constitution.

+1 They're the only group in this country who has NOT made it ahead yet. High time for introspection instead of blaming white people
