I *am* religious, and when someone says "I'll have a good thought for you" or wishes me happy holidays at Christmas, I'm thankful that someone is hoping good things for me and also feels comfortable letting me know.

The problem is, the same ones posting hot, revealing, sexualized photos then complain that they're not being respected as much as they feel they should be, either as a serious actor or whatever, or respected as much as someone who doesn't post photos that make it easy to not feel respect for someone. Dislike the thought as much as you like, but if you post photos of you acting like a ho, people will think of you as a ho, and it's easier to treat someone poorly then.

This doesn't give someone the right to act on any of that, but don't complain that you're not given respect or taken seriously when all your speech and actions push everyone to do the opposite. "Society over sexualized women" posted adjacent to "look at my revealing swimsuit bottoms...don't have on a top, tho!"

Dang it! Forgot to notice that this story has a gay guy named Dong.

Criminals aren't upstanding, jackass.

One downside (maybe) is the lack of....well, "diversity." Without a big swath of people whose whole family lives on welfare for generations, you can afford to give away more stuff. Another non-obvious thing is the high tax rate up north. It may not seem like much to a student who is unemployed or works part time, but once you earn the kind f money that ought to allow you to buy a house and have kids with maybe one parent staying home, you'll really miss that money.

Yeah, like if the counselor on the hotline made you feel better, and you started fapping and just before the moment of truth, BAM, four cops come busting in.

I exist and function in 2018, so no need for the insult and condescension because you don't like what I have to say. All my kids have gotten part time jobs in high school and college, from summer help installing sprinkler systems and moving furniture, to working retail, tutoring, and interning at an engineering company (after two years of engineering school) for a couple summers. There are opportunities, but they're not handed to you...same as in the '80s.
Today, your market for products or service extends beyond your hometown, as in my day, to wherever the Internet reaches. Recently I bought a little unique classic model auto the same type as one I saw at a museum...from someone across the country that I wouldn't have known existed before Internet search engines. My neighbor's kid does antivirus and other computer help.

But, even if things are so different, Raising the minimum wage to a level that's more than what the job is worth sure won't increase the number of those jobs.

Also maybe he couldn't sit still for as long as the tattoo artist needed, so the artist would need to spend a lot more time and have more patience.

So then, why are they suddenly trying to contact HIM now that he's rich/famous/popular?

Plus, if you change "correct" terms every couple decades (now, People of Color is correct) you get to belittle anyone who slips up and uses the old preferred term because it's now offensive. Added bonus: you get to criticize anyone you want to if he/she uses the new term because there will still be people who identify with the old term. I recall a man saying, "Don't call me African American! I'm black!" in about 1992.

The mainstream media presented some things he said out of context, so the quotes appeared more ignorant than they really were. But we all like the 20 second explanation of everything, and that it's sort of like a meme makes it even better.

Agreed. A slim girl beat a skinny anorexic weak looking male. In some things, better is just better. If you had an MMA match between a man and woman at, say, the 165 pound weight class, you'd see the benefit of the strength advantage. Also, do we know if the two combatants in the photo are at the same level? If she's an expert and he's intermediate, it's no,surprise he lost.

Nothing wrong in posting this...I think we're trying to read something into it that's not there..."It's just some stuff that happened."

Tataglia? Tataglia is a pimp! But I never realized until today it was Barzini all along.

Also, apparently a girl who plays your favorite game *isn't* so wonderful or your ideal match after all...
