i like to go the speed limit and it pisses people off, well if you hit me in the back because im going the speed limit then it's ur fault lololol

i hate people who think they don't have to obey the signs

IMO the biggest problem with child support is that there seems to be no opt-out for it at all.  I don't think any person should be subject to 18 years hard labor against their will, physical or financial, male or female.  That precisely is why I'm pro-choice.

But, I also believe that childbearing should be universally discouraged.  That's what puts me at odds with most people, I think.

if you sign your rights away don't you not have to pay child support anymore?

I think that's fair, if you want to be a part of the child's life then you should pay, but otherwise just sign your rights away then you don't have to pay it.

That is putting the incentives precisely backwards from where they should be.

ummm. i don't understand. so you're saying that a parent should still have visitation rights with their child even if they are contributing absolutely nothing to the child's life?

Being a part of a child's life is a contribution in itself. They should be contributing financially as well, but it is a lot better than nothing, and certainly not something that should be discouraged by making it cost money.

I'm pretty sure guys who refuse to pay child support don't want to be in their child's life. Or they're some kind of hood rat without any money.

Elon Musk should be put on a rocket and fired into the sun.

(forum-only but this is pretty obvious already). Tulsi Gabbard and Dennis Kucinich are great politicians. Not without flaws, of course. But much better than their opponents.

wtf? you think only the forum hates Gabbard and Kucinich?

I wonder why neither of them are President then

[HillGoose]

Well, Gabbard has only been eligible since 2016 (a year in which she didn't run) and Kucinich lost the primary when he did run, and even if he didn't, he wouldn't be the incumbent, since the last year he ran was 2008.

nah its bcuz their commies

I think Mike is short for Micycle.

I don't think bike is short for bichael, but I certainly find it reasonable that Mike is short for Micycle.

Whenever I see a bio like this my eyes roll into the back of my head:

I agree with this, except illegal immigrants are illegal.

This ones a doozy.

I have a severely autistic brother who went through intense therapy to learn how to do just about everything. As a result, my mother became acquainted with a number of mothers of other mentally disabled children. These women, seeing the deep bond my other brother and I have with Harry, often approached us as if we were some sort of autism whisperers or something. I always resented these minivan driving shrills.

Their kids aren’t autistic. They’re basically just a bit off. They are either cruely called or ironically call themselves “spergs.” I sympathize with their plight, I really do. They’ve done nothing wrong and are treated grotesquely. But their overprotective self-righteous parents need to quit appropriating the “spectrum” and inflating the definition of autism. I know this one woman who calls herself an “autism crusader” and sometimes winds up on the local news for her activism. She used to call my mom to vent and cry about her struggles. Her son is almost completely normal. He’s just, in George Carlin’s words, kinda goofy.

Meanwhile my brother can’t tie his own shoes and was basically ripped from our home despite my parents giving it 220%. I never demanded sympathy for my family’s situation. Respect, sure, but never sympathy. And I’m tired of having to expend it on people way more fortunate than us. I also fear it will take away from the resources allotted to those who are literally disabled.

And it’s not that we shouldn’t help those who do have Aspergers. Just don’t do it at the expense of those with DS or autism.

Your mother's friend is not a psychiatrist, she should not be deciding what Autism is and what it isn't.

You are not a psychiatrist, you should not be deciding what is Autism and what isn't.

Leave medicine to doctors.

i think the maximum speed limit everywhere in the entire country should be 25 MPH even on interstates

EDM takes real goddamn talent to make.

Anti-vax parents whose children who die of a vaccine-preventable illness should be charged with manslaughter and child abuse.

[HillGoose]

Soldiers who are killed in foreign wars are only victims of imperialist desires.

Ya because everyone is naturally peaceful and loving unless they're a political leader right?

Everyone has "imperialist desires"

[HillGoose]

it takes a lot of skill to create EDM. no matter what anyone says about "it's just a computer" it takes skill and the mind of a musician, just like all other music.

I think the toilet paper goes under

"My fellow citizens, at this hour American and coalition forces are in the early stages of military operations to disarm Iraq, to free its people and to defend the world from grave danger.

On my orders, coalition forces have begun striking selected targets of military importance to undermine Saddam Hussein's ability to wage war. These are opening stages of what will be a broad and concerted campaign."

- George W. Bush, March 19, 2003.

I still believe this day to be one of the greatest days in world history, and truly the United States' finest hour.
