Amazing how when drugs for children were proposed there was tons of debate and I believe even Congressional inquiry into the safety and necessity of the drugs. Now we pass them out like candy and the PAC money keeps flowing to the elected officials to keep the gravy train on time. The Citizens United decision made sure that the influential corporations who are now people as well as wealthy individuals could speak their mind and donate to their hearts content without being identified or tied to the game.
Kids being on drugs is bad: that the drug shortage for clinically prescribed amphetamines led to a bunch of people saying they couldn't do their mind numbing office work without them should be a clue that the meds are covering for problems broadly
Agree. When you disrupt traditional roles, do not have the same pathways and support in society you end up with kids raising kids who have no idea what they have missed. They see the goal but have no idea how to do the work to get there. Including but not just traditional education.

This stuck in my mind as more than a few of our foster boys were forced to raise up their siblings and so missed the joy of being a teenager .
And you’re a hell of a man for being a foster parent. The hardest parenting job there is.
Only there for a little while. But you do make an impact. At least the kids I have spoken with related some of their best experiences with adults were with foster parents. Most only see this in retrospect.
While I helped out a lot with my siblings after my parents divorce it is not the same. Having two parents with plenty of resources and splitting time between the homes is totally different from being a sole provider.
I ran across this a lot when I was younger and Assistant District Attorney. Always trying to get kids into any diversion or additional program that was available. It was amazing to see how some of them fared well with some help while others did not.
Kids being* and they couldn't* Presumably I was swiping on a phone
Otherwise there was a disruption in (legal) amphetamine supply where a bunch of office workers were commenting that they found they couldn't tolerate or perform their job functions without the drugs. The obvious thing to draw from it is that something is wrong with the jobs and drudgery and soul-crushing 'work' of powerpoint production.
Agreed that these are all co-joined, few ever want to exert the effort to look at the bigger picture .
I know a few men who like women much fatter than the ones you posted here .
I think there's a good movie in your article here .

Agree. I think this is could be the prequel to Idiocracy. Certainly a way to arrive there.
? Prequel ? .
Sometimes it seems we're there already .

Don’t think we have elected Camacho president yet but getting warmer. Both political parties seem to have arrived though.
The difference between a creep and a man who knows what he wants - the ONLY difference - is whether or not the woman finds him attractive. That's it.

People are getting lazy and just go where led. Sad.
Sad yes but much deeper than that .
Lack of education leads to the current situation .
