i thik that one might be true

http://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/teen-accepted-stanford-after-writing-blacklivesmatter-100-times-application-n742586%5B/quote%5D

I think you’re promoting fake news there scaredy. The article is pretty clear, the kid did not get accepted to Stanford “just for writing BLM on [an] essay”. His ‘writing BLM” may have had nothing to do with his acceptance, and it wasn’t an essay.

A more appropriate claim would be that Fox News may have taken a tiny piece of the story and turned into a central part, in order to enrage their viewers. Which is exactly what Fox News has been doing for decades, leading to postings on RE blogs claiming “Right-Wing Media are Destroying Our Country”.[/quote]

You said it ten times better than I did. Feeling I got from coworker was that writing BLM was the ONLY thing that got him into Stanford. She then went on to say don’t let your kids to Berkeley they will turn them into kooks.
All sad really, as I have known this person for 26 years now and she was in the beginning all kindness and compassion, now all I sense is anger in her. I blame fox news, they know their audience and how to persuade THEM.

Have you read the old testament?[/quote]

I have not read it but, if I remember what i was told, the Old Testament says sinners should stoned to death.

But then Jesus died for our sins and we’re supposed to turn the other cheek and welcome foreigners as our own.[/quote]

Ah now there’s the rub. There are always sub sects within your own religion that considers you not pious enough and thus a sinner in their eyes. Those ” religious freedom” shills should opt out of secular protections afforded them by our Bill of Rights and submit themselves to rule by theocracy and punished by the inevitable rise of their religious police. Miss a prayer or have an extramarital fling? Let those who would stone you have their religious freedom!

I can forgive those who voted for Trump, I think I can even understand why they voted for him. What I can’t understand is why the same are still supporting him.

So chummy with Russian spies and so not chummy with our allies. Reagan would be sad. Can’t even get “America first” right giving the Saudis a discount on arms.

[outtamojo]

I feel bad for Spicer, frozen out of the Pope meeting.

I guess this has become my hobby, sad to say : (

let’s see…foreign nationals beating up on Americans exercising their Constitutional rights on American soil. Where is police brutality when you need it? Where are the America-first tribalists?

[outtamojo]

I believe whining about how you are treated earns one the “snowflake ” label among the right so complaining about being the worst treated politician in the history of the world…

Incompetetent “businessman ” vs veteran spymaster , what could go wrong?

[outtamojo]

Fine lines sometimes separate being hypocritical and changing one’s mind – I am hoping for the latter. Is this the day Trump became president? Is this the day Trump became a …man? I hope so- now we just have to work on the misogyny.

When the alt-right is unhappy, I am happy.

Nothing warms a a nation to authoritarian rule more effectively than…war!

Was the missile strike Trump saying that lives of brown non-citizens matter? The white nationalists populists can’t be too pleased.

“…Are there any regional or national financial or political trends that could stall appreciation of west of I-5 properties?…”

Brown smog and dirty oceans.

Get to know the sales manager. Better yet, a few of them since they tend to move around a lot. Refer family and friends to that sales manager. Once you have brought enough business and get to know each other a little bit they will always give you the best price, 5 minutes tops.

[quote=harvey]It now has an official name:

Apparently there’s been more than one bill introduced, but how could anyone argue against this one?[/quote]

It should be called Putincare. They’re also going to have to throw in some racist/anti-immigrant provisions for coverage in order to get the GOP solidly behind it.

[quote=harvey][quote=moneymaker]I apologize as I am responsible for higher medical prices, don’t have a doctor or take medicine so they have to get their money from other people like you. If people boycotted doctors and drugs do you think prices would go down or up? Obviously I don’t have an MRI machine at home or do surgery on myself so I’m also at their whim. My brother got an MRI recently and was charged $2900 just to interpret it, ridiculous![/quote]

Soon your brother will be able to haggle for a better price!

Pro tip: Stay conscious during any medical procedure. General anesthesia can hamper negotiating skills.[/quote]

Yes try not to slur your speech after your stroke, that will also hamper your negotiating.
