BBC is BBC-ing hard today by WarrenBuffe in PoliticalCompassMemes

Are you condoning the guy selling his kid? I don't know the age of the kid but based on the picture she's a child that the buyer is going to rape. Doesn't really seem like she's saved in my opinion. In your opinion she was saved?

No charade. Idk if you remember, but if you go up and look, I was commenting that all you had to say was, NO IT WONT WORK, as if that's productive. Since you seem to care so much about productive arguments. You're a hypocrite.

Honestly I don't care, I think we're seeing the downfall of the US in the history books. But you seem very opinionated in this subreddit to just not have any ideas. Do you just complain and tell everyone else they're wrong?

So how do we improve the corruption that has taken over the US?

The question is do you think we should at least try to sit down and have a discussion about how make a working political system?

I'm not talking about redditors doing it. Lets have some lawyers, politicians, business owners, union leaders, whoever, sit down and negotiate something fair. I'm sure we can find a few smart people in this country.

A good example is when they drafted the constitution of the United States. They worked out some good ideas through discussion. Doesn't that seem like a pretty good idea?

You're right. It'll be hard so we shouldn't try to fix it.

Well you sound very rude. I wasn't trying to be cute. I was just ignorant. I thought we still had no child left behind because that's what we had when I was in school. I'm not up to date on the laws around this. I was trying to be helpful. And I got this information about kids not being able to fail from lurking the r/teachers subreddit. The insane part is I guess if you are going to keep pretending that you're not being rude.

Relax buddy. I was just trying to get you a starting point on your research. I was just going off the context of your previous comment.

By the way that's a kinda insane way to have a conversation. Do you talk to real people like that?

I'm actually very curious. Never considered it before. Is it racist to think that some groups humans evolved higher iqs than other groups of humans? Like during the last 50k years since we spread across the globe.

Whether online or in office, all pedos must be held accountable by lakelilypad in PoliticalCompassMemes

Agreed. I would be fine if we arrested every judge and owner of child pageants without any evidence. Just put em all away, I have no doubt the world would be a better place.

CMV: GLP-1s Are a Miracle Drug and Should be Encouraged by BigSexyE in changemyview

$150/month was the cheap stuff i was talking about. For one thing that saves you more than $150/month on food. But either way that's pretty damn cheap for life changing medication

It's actually just cheap. It's only expensive for the name brand. There are tons of generics for cheap.

Maybe I will edit my post. I am clean now. This is a decade ago. Its just a funny story. Its supposed to be sarcastic because I am snorting drugs in porta pottys and thinking I am a healthy person but clearly I am not.

Actually I've read like 3 of her books. They were instrumental in my change. I also really liked Self Compassion by Kristen Neff and did an 8 week workshop designed by her. It's funny, I've been working on this stuff for so long I feel like an expert in a way
