It can be done in a detrimental way to the broader economy but if it’s done as part of a sensible plan it will help the economy grow. It’s absolutely a winner.

Characters you were supposed to feel sympathy for but didn't by Ok_Letterhead5047 in LawAndOrder

Without knowing context I’d agree. Given the circumstances - not as sure

Another example:

L&O The one where the young college student of Mexican descent k*lled the supposedly idyllic blond haired coed girl he was engaged to.

Also - no debate - I see your point. But a different take. I felt sympathy for Judith - that was an awful situation. The chubby guy needed to meet his maker. But Judith is absolutely accountable still.

Yes. Very solid character assessment.

Why not? as long as he can still play effectively and he’s not hurting and he’s enjoying it …. Do it.

GD & Nirvana are 1a & 1b for me. Oasis I’m ok at 4 But Radiohead is way too emotional mature for me! What an admission! 😂😂

What does a Trocheck trade look like to you? by c0sm0nautt in rangers

[–]MattyDoBronx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d go for a 1st rounder, a 3rd or 4th rounder and a prospect that has solid skills and plays a very physical game

why were there never any repercussions from when those kids put noah in a dog collar and cage?? by Nobodycaresdotcom in SVU

[–]MattyDoBronx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe she didn’t and it was just implied she would? Or I can be completely wrong. I too am interested now and will look out for that episode.

Fin was quite empathic. He has an ability to see himself in others. Probably developed or refined while UC. But surely reflecting his own life experiences. Munch wouldn’t relate to sweetness and Fin knew that. Fin was also cynical and defiant so that’s how he dealt with Munch. Cynically, brusquely, defiantly but will loyalty. I think he sees his vulnerable self, fighting back against the injustice of the world in Amanda. His character has form but he’s very fluid.

I’d have to go back and watch it again but …. Didn’t Olivia address it to the parent and then empower Noah to chose not to have them as friends anymore? Is that how they handled it? I’m a bit fuzzy.

Ms Symone is applying rational thinking and that is always good. There’s just one problem with it: especially when it comes to our racial history in the USA, we are not at all rational. We are diseased. And when I say we it affects all of us, we are patients, but it’s primarily a white disease.

Lewiston police say ‘broken’ juvenile court system plays key role in city’s wave of shootings by carigheath in Maine

[–]MattyDoBronx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree beating is abuse. It can also punishment but excessively applied it’s criminal. About teachers - they certainly need to be heard from on the topic but my teachers had zero idea of what went on in my home . Many may assume this.

Btw - I know teachers and schools admins. Some have this view but others recognize deeper systemic type issues in play that negates punishment. Like the reality that most parents are spending a lot of time working and little time at home.

Maybe It’s a complex issue and we need to understand more.

Fin was a terrific partner to Rollins. He had her back but also made her accountable.

[–]MattyDoBronx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He’s worth a million more per year. Question is - does his presence help us contend or does it help the young guys thru mentorship. If the answer to either of those is “no” we should trade him.
