I'm not sure how you would target that and even if parents split- if they are economically secure it can minimize the damage of a marital split on a kid. The institution of marriage is a social issue that needs fixing in general as far too many people think "Eh we fought, time to split." But in the long run- I do think we should do something to encourage people working on marriage rather than giving up

By the second part you mean the being called a "groomer" stuff? I'm not letting that go. It's highly insulting people say it. As to the successful thing- yes generally it is true that two of those three caring lead to students success but anymore the teacher is strongarmed into just passing the kid through regardless. You try to fail a kid and the school complains that "our graduation numbers aren't good enough" or a parent writes in and complains that you hate their kid or threatens lawsuits and everything so the school just rubber stamps the kid. Kids generally care to a point- especially once they become seniors. There are studies done that don't outright say it but the implication is that the two biggest factors in a kid's success in school is their economic status and whether their parents are together or not. It isn't foolproof but parents together and making good money usually lead to them being there for the kids more often and providing learning and a stable home life which benefits the kids in school. Generally though I'd argue- kids are far better and more resilient than society gives them credit for.

It would be more genuine to say- we had two presidents flush money through the system as a means of preventing an economic downfall in the wake of COVID. As of now we have not had an economic recession. Also, when you pump money in it was always going to create inflation on the back end and mess with interest, and by proxy, mortgage rates. There are some positive signs there but obviously not as much or as quickly as anyone would like. I do think we also need to blame corporations some here for artificially keeping prices on things high (although we are seeing some companies like Wal-Mart and Target start to roll back prices again on items). So we are in this mess because of two parties, two presidents, a pandemic, and corporate greed.

I said at one point a huge problem with kids now (and in school) is the way people parent anymore. It is antagonistic against the world because "the world is trying to get you." Of course I was called a groomer, and a loser, and told I don't care about kids and was just trying to blame parents. Of which I wasn't obviously solely blaming parents.

Nov. 30, 2022 "You neglect your own children too."

True....he also didn't wish rape on either of my kids. He just said I was "a coward", "neglectful to my kids" "effeminate" and "not a real man."

Hey you are the one lying- not me.

He knows he's lying. It's pathological with him at this point.

He can't. He knows he's lying. He will never admit it though.

My dad was a diabetic so I know the medication switching can be terrible- especially when prescription providers change and the new place thinks they know better about what meds to hand out. The phone thing is cool and it is amazing how far technology has advanced on that stuff.

It's a message board you weirdo.

Says the guy who couldn't resist the urge to comment on it.

I've been called a pedophile here numerous times. A groomer. Someone who approves of children being assaulted. ETC. So yeah- sorry I'm not looking to buddy up with people around here too often because not only are those people here making those claims but there are people who just go along with it. I like people here who both agree with me and disagree with me on things. Quite frankly- I don't mind if people want to disagree with me as long they can support their assertions (too few here can not). I don't consider my time here a waste either I just see it differently than you. I hope your daughter is okay with everything managing her diabetes.

When I beat cancer and spend my time here doing that sure? Or maybe you can add to your stupid spreadsheet you seem to keep here while playing board police

I'm not Gutterboy- I don't have the time, energy, or need to make multiple names here. To the accusation at hand- of course HT presents this like I was just sending him messages and not having a back and forth exchange- which of course is just HT lying in the same way he does all the time here. The reality of it all is this. Here is how it went- I was asking him questions in a thread and he was responding in his usual douchey manner and people were saying to take it from the thread. So I did and sent them to him through a message. I even said "You know- you'd probably be a decent person on here if you actually tried to participate in conversations instead of being a person whose head is far up the asss of everyone in MAGA land. He then said "I’m a fine person. Veteran, served as a police officer with distinction in the roughest part of our entire country, pay my taxes, obey the law, protect, sacrifice and provide for my family." I responded with "You say you did those things in the real world- whatever, I believe you. I have far more respect for that than you've ever once showed me for anything despite the fact that I am also a public servant like you were, I pay my taxes, obey the law, sacrifice for the greater good, and provide for my family. Yet you never seem to chime in when people are calling me a pedophile. Or a life loser. Or mocking my wife and kids. And you yourself have name called me all kinds of things based on my profession." We then basically called a détente with one another. But then he kept poking with passive aggressive shots so I took some back. He then e-mailed me to say: "What happened? I haven’t said a word to you. Why all the name calling?" He then declared himself a "Scorpion" probably because his life is a fable anyway. After he back and forth argued with me a few times I asked "Are you somewhere on the autism spectrum?" He insulted about being a time thief, calling my kids names, calling me names (this happened over multiple messages)- every time I just kept asking where he was on the spectrum. After two days of seeing he couldn't shake me off that he took the private conversation to the board to paint me as unhinged and say that I was just e-mailing him out of the blue and he was just an innocent player in all of this. He also didn't like that I chose to start replying to his comments in the message chain as opposed to on the board as I was keeping the personal stuff off the main board and honestly- purposely being a at that point. Our exchange in messages is 4 pages long and spans from November 4, 2022 to December 1, 2022: I have 49 messages in those 4 pages. He has 47 messages in those 4 pages And because I never left the conversation and have it all- anyone could see it if they so desired- although I'd have no idea why anyone would care that much.

Good- lock the piece of sh!t up

Nice

Who nominated you board police? I said I've created plenty of topics. I have- they are all over the board and they are not just political stuff. Because you might not be aware- "plenty" isn't a number or anything. Just a simple statement that refers to more than enough....because you know- there is no requirement. I've commented on a lot of things in the past 15 months- haven't felt like starting any threads. Furthermore- why is that the measure now? You aren't castigating anyone else for that. I don't respond to threats- so I pose my question again.

I've started 3 pages of threads in 5 years. That qualifies as "plenty." Maybe not for someone like you who seems to be using their second life to be a message board doofus but it would qualify. But even more- that isn't the measure of someone's worth- at least not to someone with a life. I mean really, you are trying to win an argument by saying "I make more threads on a message board." Weird flex man Here is the real question- you've defeated cancer. So with this second chance and new lease on life you've decided that you need to be a sh!t talker on a fantasy football message board? And be someone who gate keeps the number of threads people start or their number of comments or "what they've offered" to this place? My god dude- you could be doing so much with your life and you've decided to say ":Man I want to team up with MAGA land at a lightly trafficked message board. but hey- you've got no life so keep that tab open on me

Jerry- there is no quota for how many threads one "has" to start. I've started plenty. I've commented in plenty of threads (unless you want to math that too). It's a message board where I- like anyone else- can pick and choose what I want to respond to. And I don't have time in that I've chosen to step back from here for long periods of time because- unlike you- this place doesn't define my life. Sorry this is the pinnacle of living for you. Also, you of course are lying about topics started because I've started plenty of topics here- you know if you ever leave the politics zone. I mean the horror- I've started a lot of fantasy football question threads on a fantasy football message board. SHOCKER!!! Again- you are just a lying sack of human waste. Here is the real question- you've defeated cancer. So with this second chance and new lease on life you've decided that you need to be a sh!t talker on a fantasy football message board? And be someone who gate keeps the number of threads people start or their number of comments or "what they've offered" to this place? My god dude- you could be doing so much with your life and you've decided to say ":Man I want to team up with MAGA land at a lightly trafficked message board." And you want to crow about all your topics you bring: "Putin's endorsement for US President" "Cultural existential threats....." (that I'll totally out and back up on the minute I get called on how stupid my fooking argument is)---I mean that was the subtitle "Revenge of the Normies...." "Bill Maher American Kids are way too confident" (the second thread in a row that is just you saying what someone else said because you aren't smart enough to post your own thoughts and when you did- well you walked it back because you got told how idiotic it was) "Golf balls to travel shorter distance by 2030" (Holy hell- alert the national guard! How do we stop this?!?!) "Amazon Prime Days...." (way to use Google) That's a sampling. Not really the greatest of content per se. But oh man....I hope you can keep my tab open in your Google spreadsheet to add any more threads I create. You know- if you plan on being honest

So you've devolved into "I start more threads than you"? Take a break here dude. I'm sorry I don't have the time to start threads about existential threats like you.

I've started plenty of threads here and it is usually quickly followed by you and your demented ramblings

I'm not the one who spouts that nonsensical garbage....you are

Excellent input, thanks. I know you are young, so maybe you are taking it personally? Care to elaborate?

I said this months ago when a poll came out that people felt they were better off than they were financially a few years ago but that the economy was bad. It is a disconnect. Not in reality, but in messaging. But I was told people should vote their FEELZ!
