“Hey we need to you to go to Russia to work on this piece”

“Nah Dog, I’m good”

Given they are a hostile country with Anti-American sentiment WHY WOULDN’T they take pawns for trade?

I’ll be damned if I would be offering up pawns.

Americans should be told to stay out or you are on your own once they grab you.

These daily pranks are really going to get a lot more kids killed the next time it isn’t a prank.

I’m editing my post to say my own kid (a high school freshman) had a controlled release this afternoon due to what the cops believe is a hoax threat of a shooting. They are taking the threat seriously anyway. As they should. This just all sucks.

Oh, I'm not saying that this mindset isn't completely bonkers in fuckin younkers. But yes, they do assume that nearly all abortions are because some single party girl partied a little too hearty and is now trying to "avoid consequences" (you would not believe how many times they will say that word, it's like their favorite.) And the thing is that if you get one of them alone and talk to them rationally (which is a trick in itself; there's very little if any rationality in this mindset, even if it does have its own coherent internal logic), you can sometimes get them to open the door just a millimeter or so to almost acknowledge that sometimes it is necessary. But it never sticks. And you can't explain to them that "children as a punishment for sex" is fucked up, because they will just tell you that "murdering babies" is much worse.
