If he is really all that embarrassed he played Pokemon Go as a kid I will take it down. Of course since most adults were playing it at the time I have my doubts.

Adults happily wore hammer pants at one time too.

Well when I get sentenced to prison for brutal child abuse I will tell the judge that I regret nothing. NOTHING!

At least until they waterboard you.

I am a parent. Every asshole with an opinion is sure I am committing child abuse with every innocuous thing I do.

Ain't that the truth.  :lol:

It's a bit of a shock to discover, as a new parent.

This morning, I gave my child a juice box as part of her morning snack. I am sure I am going to hear about it in a negative light.

So this black kid goes to the Charlotte city council and gives this heartfelt plea for black people to be treated fairly and with civility in the US. Fairly moving. And, you know, hardly controversial.

Meanwhile on the Facebook we have shitloads of people angry that the evil black people coached and manipulated this kid to do this.

Oh FFS. We really are fucked aren't we? If we cannot even get behind this shit I don't even know what to think.

I don't want to jump to conclusions, but my first thought upon seeing that speech was "man, it's fucked up that that kid has had to grow up that much that fast."  My second thought was, "on second thought, that kid was awful articulate for a 9-year-old."  Definitely some help and coaching there, but I'd suspect the kid was just helped with the speech, not fed the talking points.

Kids go before city councils, school boards, cointy zoning hearings, and state legislature committees and subcommittees all the time.   They're public hearings.  Hell, even I did it as a Cub Scout for a wetlands bill.  #MeritBadgeNailedIt #DucksLivesMatter

Oh, sure.  Just saying that the level of articulation seemed abnormally high, so there was some probably some adult proofreading going on.

Yeah, absolutely no way a black kid could ever do that on her own. They should look into that, macht schnell.

Yeah, GF, why don't you just take your kids out back and beat the crap out of them?  It would be the same result and cheaper.   :mad:

In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock
