A lot of this nation's poverty issues stem from having children out of wedlock.

This is no bash on the public school system. Your child, I am sure, is doing fine in the public school system. But they do not teach Catholicism there (I totally get why) so that is why we made the decision to send our kids to Catholic school. It's not a slam on you OR the public schools.

My unpopular opinion:
Children do not have a faith. It's their PARENTS' faith that was taught to them, and they "adopt" it because that's all they know.

I don't get the walkathons for charities.


+1 I just prefer to donate directly myself. I don't need someone to do something in order for me to donate. I hate it when I get asked to sponsor.


Totally agree with this. How does walking for 3 days eradicate cancer? If she wants me to donate money to the cause I will but not because she is walking! I've always thought this was super stupid.

Serious question: Where is the riff-raff supposed to go? If you kick all the poors out of Anacostia, where do you suggest they live instead?

And, I have tried for years to find a way to move to Canada. I am so tired of the US - the capitalistic selfish shit, the military worship (excuse me - you volunteered!), the stupid anthem, the pledge of allegiance, and the "we are the greatest nation in the world" fiction.

Travel isn't just about "seeing" things.

I don't travel as much as I used to, but when I did, I preferred Europe/the UK. It's not that there aren't beautiful things to see in the USA. It's the social culture/atmosphere. There are parts (not all) of Europe and the UK where it just feels more laid back, less puritanical. I feel like in the US, there are laid-back places, but they are laid back in a hippy/new agey/health nazi way. But it's different in certain parts of Europe/UK.

And when I had vacation time, I wanted to go somewhere why I could feel a certain way and have a bit of a break.


I love foreign travel but to each his own. Something I have realised though is that there are places in this world that cannot be captured in a photo. I just went to Machu Picchu (a big bucket list item for me!) and being on top of the mountain and having the 360 view around you and feeling the energy of the place is something words and pictures cannot convey.


Yes. Machu Picchu is amazing and worth the trip. Another place like this is the Angkor temple complex in Cambodia. There are MANY others.

And yet still the most attractive. Inbreeding does horrible things.

I think grad school is now the equivalent of what a high school diploma used to be. Everyone, including the not so bright or academic, is getting them.
