I expect Maye to have a fantastic career.

I think Drake Maye must’ve focked Merill Hoge’s mom or something. A month ago Hoge was out here calling Maye a loser and now he’s back at it again today. Wtf dude? Why is he obsessed with trashing Maye? He’s going out of his way to dis the kid.

If you give a mouse a cookie, he will ask for a glass of milk.

How has no one answered “BJs”? I’ll shell out for good food, good cocktails and good lodging. Death is too near for me. I’m not scrimping on enjoyment.

I haven’t read this whole thread, so I’m apologizing in advance if I’ve misunderstood something. Having said that, are you saying that you hope one day for people to regard use of the words “man” or “woman” the same way we perceive use of the word n***er?

Fugazi— little known fact.

You’re saying she’s wet?

Yes.

Bloodwork came back pretty bad today. Numbers dropped over 90%. We’re at the cancer center right now (this is a blood disorder, not cancer) and she’s in the transfusion room getting her treatment. ~SIGH~

That’s what I’ve always claimed but, strangely enough, I’ve grown both more liberal AND more conservative in the last 10 years.

I don’t even know what I am today at age 50. Conservative? Liberal? Dysfunctional? My daughter is gay. And I love her g/f in a heartbreaking paternal way. I don’t hate the trans; I pity them. I believe racism exists, but at a limited personal level rather than something systemic. I want as little government as possible. I want women not to have abortions, but I don’t know if I want it illegal. I respect workers and the uneducated. I support a form of social security for the young. I want pure religious freedom. I like some form of some kind of nationalized police. I want taxes slashed. Unchecked illegal immigration is reckless, emotions withdrawn. I think I’m just dysfunctional. But I know one thing— I can listen to other ideas, present my own, disagree if necessary and say “I might be wrong.” Maybe I should run for president.

And also to you.

Well, I’d disagree with you on this and also mention that you avoided my first point, which is how comfortable liberals are using the word “uneducated” as a slur. As for our disagreement, I say you can’t deconstruct society along lines of education or vocation. Sticking with my paraphrasing of Emerson, man is not a farmer or IT guy or claim adjuster or teacher or chemist— man is all. We cannot value Steve Jobs for developing Apple without equally valuing the people who made the materials he used, fabricated his components, manufactured his packaging, created his marketing, delivered his products, etc. There are no jets without the rivet maker. ”Uneducated” should not be used as a slur. Based on what i’ve read in posts from you, I think you know that’s true. I ask you to stop using that word in that way.

Following up my LOOK AT ME post with a little LOOK AT MEEEEEEEE… Wifey’s doing pretty well. First line med has improved her bloodwork results considerably. Follow-up labs tomorrow to check numbers again. The improvement was expected. The real test will be in the following 1-2 weeks to see if they maintain or drop right back down. The nice thing here is that the hematologist has told us that if she doesn’t improve and maintain, he’s going right to the miracle drug. No fkking around. Just wants to try this first-line so that the miracle drug can be reserved for the future in case sh*t ever gets completely sideways. Apparently, with her disorder, there’s data that some patients only respond to a treatment once and then it’s never effective for them again.

Why are liberal commentators soooo hip to insulting the uneducated or using the term “uneducated” to belittle people? Newsflash: there are loads of uneducated people in the world and they 100% every bit as valuable and meaningful as anyone with an education. In some ways, they could be considered better citizens. Ralph Waldo Emerson stated that broad and varied lived experience is what forms character and character is a necessary ingredient for the formation of true intellect. Thus, character is higher than intellect. Education does not change the value of a man.
