And/or pretty smart, lol. Nice!

Your requote left out the pertinent part: if one seeks assistance in obtaining benefits [be they dr appts or a reduction in gas bills], it isn't a sign of mental deficiency. Managing the help received is where the line is drawn - and I fail to see how a mentally competent person could need...

Just don't forget to tip your server! And would it kill you to jump in? ;)

Exactly right. When Chris Christie is on Jimmy Fallon's show and he casually pulls a doughnut from his [big] pocket to munch on, or Obama sits in a chair and lets Zach Galiafinkis [sp?] ask him "How does it feel to be the last black man elected as POTUS?", younger people respond with...

It is true that there has [nearly] always been a distinct attitude among students that gay, queer, homo, :censoredsign:, etc, is the worst insult one can hurl, and that the verbal invective is no longer tolerated in the adult 'business' world - but the underlying premise [gay is doubleplus ungood] is...

The first statement is not true in all states, and even if it were, it wouldn't matter bc it's not good enough. The second statement is just fatuous, period. The third is a generality that is more untrue than true, but again, it depends on where. The reason for this thread is a parent who is...

There it is again: the assertion that "one poster makes completely incorrect claims a lot". That is your opinion, and it is unsubstantiated by facts, but repeated multiple times. That's out of line, period.

Ok, when it comes to the F-16 fighter jets, I guess I am in too deep - I promise not to do that again. :sorry:

I understood just fine, and there's no defense for that comment - you don't and can't know what I understand. The contention "that parents SHOULD, is the real solution" is exactly like the contention that because a ruckus occurred, it proves that a ruckus was the intent: wrong. W R O N G. What...

The suffrage of women and end to segregation in this country was done slowly, too. :D

I am absolutely, unequivocally NOT ok with Christians being threatened. Neither are the coworkers & students who turned that teacher in. Nor is law enforcement, which she is learning now. I hope she is never permitted to teach again, because she should not be held as a role model for students...

There are dozens of posts calling liberals names, simply because they are liberal. Is there a single solitary post calling people names because they are religious? The rest of my post was not an "attack on Leo", it was an observation on the number and type of posts that offer nothing...

Turtle says gays have been using the courts and legislation to force their will on people, but I disagree. The courts and legislators don't go along with agendas for no good reason - unless there's mega bucks involved, and no one suggests gays are bribing or buying their way to acceptance. The...

Well, it's bad for some businesses, not so much for Memories Pizza - it was a huge goldmine for them, lol. Businesses can state their beliefs & take their chances. What concerns me is the adolescents who are bullied by their peers [like high school isn't horrible enough for the non...

You are almost correct, bc I do have some idea of what it's like to deal with a government agency, especially one that is giving one benefits, [for which one should be grateful, even though one actually earned them]. In my case, it was unemployment. My first time applying, I was disqualified for...

Either Bush [and especially Cheney] knew they weren't being truthful, or they and their sources were incompetent. Pick one. Whichever, the mistakes cost a lot of lives, and trillions of dollars that could and should have gone to benefit the citizens here. We paid to rebuild Iraq [though much of...

That's not what I said. Thinking that parents will do what they should, [take the responsibility of teaching their child correctly] is unbelievably stupid. Try quoting correctly, next time.

Off topic, and personally insulting as well, without justification or substantiation. As usual. Stop it now - I have had enough of your personal attacks and baseless claims. You are way out of bounds and over the line.

For those who like to rewrite history, Bush lied. Congress and the Senate were misled, by Bush and Cheney and all the hawks who think war is wonderful. Whether the US could 'win' a war depends upon the objectives, and by the objectives enumerated at the time, the US could not win, for there...

It doesn't take good financial and math skills to manage benefits, many people do a pizz poor job of it, but don't need to ask for assistance with it. Those who ask are unable to handle it at all - and that speaks to some degree [even if temporary] of mental impairment.
