  1. ​ @ohsosomia  My thoughts exactly. I had a choice. Go to school and pay for it. Doable, easily doable. College was cheap 50 years ago (1). Or get an apprenticeship. Went with the latter. After testing my father called to ask if l cheated. Went straight to the top of the list just the test score. Worked out well enough. 1) Kids today bitch about the high cost of college tuition. Tuition has been going up at well over the rate of inflation for 40 years. Maybe the problem is in the universities.

  2. I'm actually glad to see the Mayor of New York make a public statement about anything without a platoon of Hanger Ons behind him. One question I always have is just what do these people do. 🤔

  8. This type of behavior will never be punishable by the school administration. Not when the administration encourages it.

  9. Why? The power of social media for one thing. Plus there are a large number of members of the Alphabet community in the entertainment and news media that wield far too much power.

  12. Sometimes medication can be required for psychiatric or psychological issues. Chronic depression can be one example. But medication should be the second to last option employed or chosen. The absolute last option should be life altering surgery's. I fear that this social craze (1) will turn out to be looked upon the same way lobotomies are. 1) There really are people with genuine gender identity problems. Generally they are related to miss timing of gestational events as a fetus develops. As to what causes them I'm not sure anyone really knows. They occur at a rate of about 1 in 10,000 births iirc. There is another gestational problem that can crop up. Is revered to as Chrimerism. Basically it involves a second fetus that was absorbed by one that is eventually born. This is also very rare. I remember one case which involved parental rights and support. The birth mother was found to not be related genetically to her her children. When they did future tests they found her reproductive organs had different genetic makeup than the rest of her body.

  13.  @k.sophiacavallo8858  I could care less about millionaires in the NBA or NFL or MLB. Yes they are talented. But for playing a game? The only thing that impresses me is if they do something constructive with the money. I'm more impressed with somebody who starts from nothing and builds a business successful business that puts people to work doing real jobs that pay real money.

  16. With all the advances that did happen in this country in the 50s and 60s. One still can not prevent individuals from being racist. Aside from individuals in all communities. there are other factors causing a lot of the problems in America today 1) The break down of the family. And with it the rise of single parent households. Especially involving teen aged mothers. Children without a father in their lives. And fathers who could care less. Too many of both. How to fix it? The only answer I can think of is a return to being affiliated with a church. 2) Did the Great Society and all of the social programs that began with it really help? Some did. Some didn't. One thing that didn't was the replacement of the commodities program that distributed food to those who truely needed the help with food stamps and EBT cards. The food stuffs the government bought for use in these programs was usually to higher quality than what was normally available in the local grocery store. Maybe there wasn't fresh produce but what about planting a small garden. I see people shopping with EBT cards and all too often all I see in the cart is stuff you put in a microwave. My wife contribute heavily to a church run food bank. The people running the program told me that most recipients prefer to receive prepared heat and serve foods. Whole generations that don't know how to cook? 3) The big killer. Job loss. Across both the White and Black communities. And typically the jobs that people can find have less benefits and lower wages than the jobs list to off shore. All in the name of cutting costs. 4) Drugs. From crack in the inner city to meth in the country. And drug use is destructive to everyone. The lives lost to addiction. Not just ODs but the productive lives lost and the damage to families around them. The lives list to violence in cities like Chicago. Let's be honest. Aside from crimes of passion just how many of the murders in our cities are the result of turf wars by gangs over drugs. And every single drug user is contributing to that violence by financing it. Putting the user's Iin jail doesn't seem to work. And if you put the people running the gangs selling the stuff they will either run the operation from behind bars or get replaced by somebody else. There simply is too much money to be made.

  20. I served on a jury one time that among the charges was assault with a deadly weapon. The weapon? A cell phone used to beat the victims head repeatedly. The perp was only about 14 hours out of jail from serving his sentence. Almost anything can be a deadly weapon. Including a pillow.

  25. You can wonder all you want. But without solid information it's just guess work. I want to assume that the father is somehow involved in his children's lives. But then because I know that is the way it is supposed to be. I just hope this little girl doesn't grow up with her mother b/#$&<>g at her whole childhood about how she got ignored at Chucky's.

  29. One reason Americans eat so much is because food in the United States is relatively cheap. I'm not saying that's a bad thing. I'm just stating a fact. Another problem is the amount of processed heat and serve foods available in the grocery store. Not all heat and serve foods are bad in terms of how healthy they are. We eat a fair amount if frozen vegetables in the winter. But for every package of frozen vegetables available in the freezer section how many pot pies, packages of frozen lasagna, frozen pizza etc are there. Plus people do not read nutritional labels.

  30. Parents around organized sports for kids and teen agers can get insane. In my personal experience from my youth I saw plenty of kids who couldn't catch or hit playing in Little League. All because their dad knew somebody.

  36. We all know that far too often the bully never faces consequences. Their victims on the other hand far too often do when they have been pushed too far. A good example is the kid in Virginia that got shot. A 6'5" bully who was never taught by his parents that his size does not give him a pass to bully, harass or intimidate others. For any reason.

  42. I asked someone I know what he thought about this incident. He hadn't even heard about it. At least he was shocked about it. But he never thought to examine way he had not heard about it in the first place. Any news organization that only presents one side of a story or only one political slant in my opinion is little better than a propaganda agency. No matter their political viewpoint. A news organization can be biased in their editorial opinions. But should never be biased in reporting events.

  45. Everytime anyone is a victim of violence there are others besides the direct perpetrator that are guilty. If someone is killed over the distribution of drugs. It is my opinion the customers, whom ever they are. Are just as guilty as the person who pulls the trigger, wields the blade or swings the club. Also those who shield the perpetrators share the guilt.

  47. A gentleman I once knew that was a professor at a local private college (PhD in Psychology) was a member of a fraternity (which one??). Anyway they had a lunch meeting laid on to discuss future charitable projects (mostly small scholarships). The guest speaker turned out to be Tom Selleck. Fraternities and sororities can do good. And they can be just as despicable as they get portrayed in the media. And unfortunately they can aid in opening doors and conferring advantages to someone over a better qualified individual. But then so can membership in organizations such as the Masons, Elks etc. Myself I used to belong to one of the more middle class fraternal organizations. The Moose. Until the local leadership wanted to blackball applicants based on race. I quit immediately. They later got in trouble with the national headquarters when they practically refused service to a lodge president from Hawaii.

  48.  @spikebeans9563  Yes GPS can give wrong directions at times. But an emergency vehicle driver who does not know the area he is covering? There us an easy way for cities, especially those on a grid to solve a lot of these problems. Numbered streets and avenues. The streets all run one way. The avenues run the other. All streets and avenues have a common origin point. And if street names are used, they must be in alphabetical order. Ash St, Beech st, Cherry St, etc. And group streetnames by common groupings. Trees, presidents, states whatever. This isn't rocket science. The city l live once had all street names. Only they let the developers name the streets. The city wound up with multiple streets named the same same that did not connect or all run in the same way. It was so bad the Postal Office could not deliver mail. This forced a change to a numbered system. Only now the city planners want to get creative.
