who goes to coin conventions?

carmencita ago

Exactly. You would think they would come up with something more believable. Like a Comic Book Convention. A Coin Convention?

quantokitty ago

Comic book would have worked.

carmencita ago

Yes, the coin thing I think almost draws suspicion. Like what a weird thing, Really? It made me wonder when I read it. How campy.

quantokitty ago

I know. Must be a significance. Maybe it's money ... loose change? Chump change? Like she didn't matter?

Also think about how things trickle down. You have all these kids bullying now and they try to get the victim to commit suicide. Interesting, right?

carmencita ago

It is beyond interesting. It is scary. We never did things like that. We teased about your last name or things like that. The boys did not even swear in front of the girls. Now the girls swear like truck drivers or dock workers. This is degrading and wearing on our moral fiber. I don't mean like letting a word go here and there, I mean constantly and bragging about it. It shows they have little respect for who they are with and for themselves.

It's true. And videoing them bullying and committing violence. Forget about the police, my parents would have had me in lockdown for about a hundred years.

But notice this is all being done when the alt left is touting PCness and sensitivity. How can it be all right for kids to kill each other in high school bathrooms when you can't wear a Hawaiian shirt to a barbecue because it's culturally appropriation? We're nitpicker Nazis about nonsense and letting major crimes go by the wayside? Yup, drugs and violence are just fine, but don't you dare wear that shirt!

We've got our priorities straight.

carmencita ago

Hah. Yeah, maybe it is because We've got THEIR priorities straight. We have let our children run amok.

quantokitty ago

Yes. It goes along with the government deciding what's best and they're a bunch of apologists. The parents reflect that. Anything their kids do is fine because the government says drugs dealers are cool, gangs are family, and fornication with children is okay.

This society is doomed if we do not wake them up. They have been taken over by the Pod People.

quantokitty ago

People are waking up. The problem is that we rely heavily on what we see. So if someone tells us a theoretical story about what is happening, and we don't see the effect, say, of legislation passed, we intellectually grasp the concept, but don't rush into action. In other words, nothing in our community is changed, so why should I be worried about one bad piece of legislation that seems not to have caused detrimental damage. But there's been enough time that these lizards have been in office to SEE the damage! We see kids out of control, our schools being used as breeding grounds for bullying and teaching kids how to pass tests and not to think, and our jobs evaporating! Forget about the homeless and drugs that are overtaking every city and neighborhood. It's why what happened in the last election is so important.

The one thing that really upsets me is the homeless. There are so many single moms and also veterans. When I think of all the homes that are just sitting around that are on the verge of being torn down, why were they not given a chance at these homes. We can find money to build all kinds of things like sprucing up all kinds of sports arenas, but people that have been kicked aside, NO. They have convinced so many that these people just did not do what it takes to succeed. I am getting off my soap box.
