Re: trump off the CO ballot
that ship has already sailed, imho. (Stated in regards to democracy) One of the biggest problems in America today is that people don't realize how good things are. We really do have democracy. It isn't perfect. Lots of room for improvement, but we basically have it. If we ever lose it, people will ...

Re: The Religion Thread
"A step back in time': America's Catholic Church sees an immense shift toward the old ways" https://www.yahoo.com/news/step-back-time-americas-catholic-040718410.html In case you're interested. Vatican II didn't really work out very well for the Catholic Church. Liberalisation in general ...

Re: Planet America
Meanwhile, our once and (potentially) future President is on trial. There are plenty of opinions on the subject, but, honestly, people just aren't talking about it. And I'll bet that not one person in 10, especially those ones that have the opinions, could tell you what the (allegedly?) criminal asp...

Re: Planet America
It's kind of sad that they have a boilerplate on standby for when this sort of thing happens. Not if, when. I was thinking the same thing. I suspect that there's a method behind that madness, though. I suspect they are deathly afraid of lawsuits, and the boilerplate versions have been vetted by law...

Re: Planet America
The bizarre nature of the principal's letter has an explanation. It was a form letter.
With that, there's nothing really mysterious about the case. I'm sure if there are new developments of interest, the YouTube algorithm will inform me.

Re: Planet America
About the only thing you can say honestly about that situation is "we don't know everything". In fact, we know very little. True. But when we read a news story, we fill in details in our mind's eye. Then, something comes along that doesn't fit. In this case, similar to the furry case, the...

Re: Planet America
Here's another one that makes my ears go up and wonder what's being left out. I'm amazed by meaningless statements and condescending messages from school officials. There's a tone of the messages that drives me crazy. However, on with the story. Our story so far: Pennbrook Middle School, North Wales...

Re: Headlines that signal that the story will be misleading and/or stupid
I've never heard anyone use either term. (But i don't get out much) Yeah, if you haven't heard about the Right's war on Woke by now, how's life in that cave deep in the woods? :D I rarely hear "wike" out among real people off of the internet, but I have heard it. Usually by loudmouths who...

Re: Planet America
you put words in his mouth there. unless i missed something. I don't think so. I mean, if there was a politically charged analysis about kids smoking, and something didn't add up to me, I would investigate it. good to know. (I never encounter any of this stuff, other than the internet. as far as i ...

Re: Headlines that signal that the story will be misleading and/or stupid
Hardly surprising. Yes, "cis" is being used as a slur, like "woke" has become. I've never seen "cis" as a slur. I've seen people who are offended at being called "cis", but that's not the same thing. "Woke" is a slur. ETA: "Woke" is a dero...
