“GENERATION WHATEVER” REFUSES TO GROW UP …
This week’s ridiculousness on college campuses – Missouri, Yale, Ithaca, etc. – has laid bare what most sensible people already know: That higher education in the United States isn’t focused on reversing a historic lack of opportunity so much as it is on sanitizing the intellectually incurious.
Oh, and inflating another government-subsidized bubble … (while getting rich off of a cottage athletic industry built on what amounts to slave labor).
Don’t get us wrong: We abhor racism (and other discriminatory -isms) and we have a hyperactive sense of justice. The only difference? Our hyperactivity only kicks in when real injustice is involved.
And last time we checked, real injustice was colorblind (here and here).
Spoiled kids who whine about getting their feelings hurt? They need to grow the f*ck up …
Seriously … Martin Luther King, Jr. and others risked their lives for the right to vote, etc. To not get lynched.
They did not launch a movement so that privileged brats could go from cradle to grave without anyone saying mean things about them or violating their “safe space.”
At some point, we should expect future generations to stand on their own two feet – but with crippling debt, devalued degrees and itching inferiority complexes, the “workers” being churned out by the current system are not going to be capable of doing that.
And a time when they should be waking up and smelling the coffee, they are descending further into the irrational blame game.
Anyway …
The bitching and moaning of the politically correct snivelers isn’t the real issue here: The real issue is the ongoing subsidization of this trillion-dollar goat show by those of us who actually have real life to deal with.
This website has said for years that higher education is not a core function of government. Whether it is indoctrinating from the left, right or center – there is simply no universe in which taxpayers should pick up the check for this nonsense.
We are not heartless. Sure, we are strident limited government libertarians, but we believe in some social safety net – and we know that education is a critical part of that. But at what point do we not look at what government-run education has produced (especially in South Carolina) and say – Enough!
Decades of government intervention in the education marketplace has demonstrably failed … and now a ticking time bomb is set to explode (both with respect to dollars and irrational agitation).
But God forbid anybody say that … we wouldn’t want to violate someone’s “safe space!”

Love it. Once you leave college, there is no safe space to protect your feelings. Wait til these kiddos start complaining at work. I sure wouldn’t want to be in HR or employment law at that point. So and so committed a microaggression against me by….
Dude, it’s already happening.

Turn in your tax payer subsidised degree.
The root of nearly every free-speech infringement on campuses across the country is that someone—almost always a liberal—has been offended or has sniffed out a potential offense in the making. Then, the silencing campaign begins. The offender must be punished, not just for justice’s sake, but also to send the message to anyone else on campus that should he or she stray off the leftist script, they too might find themselves investigated, harassed, ostracized, or even expelled. If the illiberal left can preemptively silence opposing speakers or opposing groups— such as getting a speech or event canceled, or denying campus recognition for a group—even better.
Why should we be surprised that this is happening on college campuses when free-speech infringement happens in every other aspect of our lives today?Look how the liberals on FitsNews try and silence differing opinions with threats and taunts not only against the contributors they disagree with but their families as well.

Broken clock theory in play here.
BRAVO!!!…BRAVO…
They ain’t the ones who want to deport US citziens, Herr Himmeler.
Illegals are US citizens?Only in Rocky’s mind.
Thanks for admitting your ignorance.
Rocky has done figured out that with the federal court denying citizenship for the 5,000,000 illegals Obama tried to get on the voting roll before 2016 and the 11,000,000 Trump/Rubio/Cruz are going to either put on a bus OR FOREVER deny citizenship that the Democrat Party is f$%ked. :)
They learned it from us. The whiney, ‘persecuted’ christian.
Only we know what real oppession is like!
Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
OH MY GAWD, STARBUCKS TOOK ORNAMENTS OFF THEIR HOLIDAY CUP! I AM SO OPPRESSED! I CAN FEEL THE CAT OF NINE TAILS RIPPING THE SKIN OFF MY BODY FOR THE 40TH LASH! OH WOE IS ME!
“Look how the liberals on FitsNews try and silence differing opinions

You say that like you don’t use the exact same tactics on a daily basis.
LMAO!!!! Love the new avatar!!!!Cat woman fits you.The character was created by the writers on Batman with this in mind.It describes YOU! :)
“I felt that women were feline creatures and men were more like dogs. While dogs are faithful and friendly, cats are cool, detached, and unreliable. I felt much warmer with dogs around me—cats are as hard to understand as women are. Men feel more sure of themselves with a male friend than a woman. You always need to keep women at arm’s length. We don’t want anyone taking over our souls, and women have a habit of doing that. So there’s a love-resentment thing with women. I guess women will feel that I’m being chauvinistic to speak this way, but I do feel that I’ve had better relationships with male friends than women. With women, once the romance is over, somehow they never remain my friends.”
You are fucked in the head, get help psycho.
While we are on the subject of hypocrites… your boy Trump apparently agrees with me about Ben Carson. Are you going to blast him, too or will you admit you were wrong & apologize to me?
I eagerly await your attempts to avoid addressing this directly.
I’m afraid some posters here are like Repub candidates. They make sound, logical points and then blow it all away with some kind of theological, taiban-like nuttery or homo erotic fascinations with anal sex..
And poop throwing.
You just shut down that sinning deviant Flip, great job.
Have done a screenshot of his post so that it will survive his next profile change. I have a feeling it will come in handy.
You won’t be served unless YOU were the one that posted that I molested my son on FitsNews.
Don’t worry about it. You may be a an abortion loving, hateful and lying witch but I doubt you would have posted that stuff.:)
No, unlike you, I have never attacked another poster’s family members.
You are funny when you get mad Smirks.
Trump compared Carson to a child molester yesterday in Iowa.
Will you serve Trump too?
Public official.I am not.
This hasn’t been a good day for flip. He’s stepping in his own mess all over the place today.
Been a great day.It is fun to kick the shit out of all 6 posters on Fits.
It’s been fun posting under 6 profiles on Fits.
There. Fixed it for ya!
The only way anybody would be served by flip would be if he got a job at the Waffle House.
Except that you’d order an omelette and he’d bring you a waffle and call you a socialist for complaining.
You have a very powerful imagination.
I can’t even picture him having a job!
You did defend Josh Duggar. Hang around Jared from Subway recently? Just asking questions.
He’s waiting for Sandusky to get out.
I do like GrandTango, and everyone knows he loves talking about NAMBLA… LMAO!!!!
I’ve only read that some guy named flip allegedly molests lots of kids.
Are you flip?
I’m the guy who said Josh Duggar wasn’t a pedophile for molesting his 5 year old sister, so asking me if I’m a pedo is barking up the wrong tree. LMAO!!! LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’ve been saving a lot also, especially the threats he made against me.
We now realize that college athletes have more influence than they should. Money talks.
I have never been to Missouri and really don’t know what is going on, but from the limited articles I have read– that state is much more racist that SC. This didn’t start last week.
However, at least liberals go to college and believe in something other then guns.
That’s why Dems will win the White House, again.
Because young people are shitting their pants on campus?
HANDS UP_I AM A LIBERAL AND SHIT MY PANTS!!!!
Great campaign slogan.
They vote. You don’t.
That’s why republicans are shitting their pants all over the south east enacting legislation to keep college students from voting.
How does that work liar.How do you deny a college student the right to vote if they are of age?
It works like this….

Or this….

Or this….
http://correctrecord.org/the-2016-gop-record-on-voting-rights/
Republicans know it’s over. Shitting themselves…
You are a liar.College students can vote in the state they are a resident.NO ONE is denied the right to vote.
We have found they establish residency where they attend college, vote there then vote absentee in their home state.
I’m sure you have a smoking gun where this is happened en masse, right? Right? ………….right?
Yes.Thank you.Was waiting to spring that on him.Hope you’re well.Miss your comments!
Where? Links? Proof?
Another sound victory for anyone more intelligent than a goldfish versus flip.
We’re not proud.
Trust us.
I didn’t even know that. Thanks for the info.
Funny.Every time I see liberals on tv they are burning,looting,protesting,spitting on people and shitting their pants.
That is why WE have guns.
Yeah, ever use yours on looters? Probably not. Just shoot those life threatening beer cans. Occassional road sign.
That’s what I thought from a bunch that was offended by Starbucks copying their “red solo cup”.
Missouri was so deeply violently racist early on that its conservatives were called “Pukes” and the whole episode of “Bleeding Kansas” can largely be put at its door. Kind of like Edgefield County being a whole state.
Sounds like the constant crybaby tactics of conservative Christians complaining about their persecution in the media. Biggest bunch of thin-skinned crybabies on the planet.
You must be talking about that ISIS loving Muslim occupying the wH?
I’m talking about you and every last delusional flat-earther who attempts to comment on this site.
Who cares about black people being enslaved, the local mall is putting up a glacier instead of a Christmas tree! Now THAT is true persecution!
Now that Trump is comparing Carson to a child molester, I guess your dream ticket is up in smoke. Did you see Trump melt down yesterday? Him and Carson will be gone before the new year. Merry Christmas, indeed!

Ha! Brilliant.
Liberal ass kisser.Rocky is gonna be jealous. :)
Nice futon. I had one once. Was really comfortable. You can move them around if you’re open minded and experimental. Don’t you agree Taylor?

Nobody likes a hypocrite, flip.
Flip takes another shot to the jaw, tooth and spittle flying! Oh it’s a massacre! Why won’t he swing back? What is he doing? How can he just sit there and take the abuse?! Is he just too weak? Too scared? Oh the humanity!
You should start a South Carolina or Southern version of TheOnion.com.
TheCollard.com web address is for sale.
The real debate will turn, as it always does, on money. The students have been saddled with massive student loan debts. Debts caused by States refusing to provide funds for colleges to operate, i.e., SC gives massively less money to college operations than it did 20 years ago. Instead of the fear mongering of leaving our kids with future debts, we are giving them the debts right now. It’s even outrageous that the students can’t even declare bankruptcy in order to free themselves from what amounts to government backed “Loan Sharks.”
Student loan debt is the biggest threat to the US Economy. People at the State’s level have been passing their yearly budgets on the backs of college funding cuts for decades. Now the chickens have come home to roost. Especially at U. of South Carolina. Which has one of the highest college debt ratios in America. The USC Athletic Dept. debt owes over $150 million and counting. Throw in all the unnecessary buildings being built up around Columbia by USC, and the outsourcing of Student Housing to unregulated REIT’s (Real-Estate Investment Trusts): the students are being put into debtors prison before they even get their worthless college degrees.
This is where the real protests are headed. Not “Black Lives Mater,” but what to do about the Student Loan Debts that are crippling our young generations.
This student loan bubble was created by self serving Liberals who have forwarded the notion that all kids should go to college. This policy has resulted in 4 year degree Starbucks Baristas with excellent knowledge of Scandinavian art history. All of the money loaned out and we still don’t have engineers, scientists, or tech. It has also fueled illegal immigration due to these students not knowing the difference between a hammer and a screwdriver.
I will agree with a few of your points. But, lets not blame the Liberals entirely for this disaster. The Conservatives also share most of the blame. They lied when they said they were cutting taxes at the State level. When in reality they were just stealing money from colleges to pay the bills. Then the colleges sent the bills to the students.
Note: we have over 73,000 unemployed engineers in the USA per IEEE statistics. There are no engineering shortages in the USA. What we have are a number of corporations, and colleges using the H1 Visa program to bring in foreign engineers & professors. Who work for peanuts and bring down engineering salaries. To the point that, students smart enough to be engineers are going instead into other fields that pay more.
Still one of the best ways to make a living is thru the trades. The book: “The Millionaire Next Door,” showed that the majority of millionaires in the USA are Blue Collar Workers. Not the white collar “wage slaves.”
I absolutely agree with you about the ridiculous idea that everyone has to attend a 4 year college to succeed in life. We should absolutely be pushing technical/trade school options.
The only people bitching and moaning, unsuccessfully, are the racists who are getting called out and tossed to the side. It’s over for you guys. Go back to keeping your mouths shut and get in line.
Could the problem be blacks MAY be intellectually inferior and affirmative action programs at the universities are leading them into failure?
Not everybody should/has to go to college and maybe that is where the frustration of the black college students is coming from-they can’t compete?
Intellectually inferior? They organize successful campaigns that obtain their goals. They out smarted the Administration of a University. The only people looking intellectually inferior are you racists who are getting thwarted at every single turn.
The only thing you fools are successful at is providing the LULz!!!
They gained a liberal campus-and lost middle America.Missouri will be RED forever now.
Well that’s a problem? Sort of like losing Alabama.
Minnesota? LMAO!!!! Mondale carried it for Gods sake!
When the confederate flag went down, you saw a few scattered white people protesting sporadically and a bunch of KKK members (i.e. flip and GrandTango) gathering at the State House grounds. Still no confederate flag on the State House grounds.
You’re right, the students at Mizzou are more capable of getting things done than a bunch of old racist white complainers. Not too difficult though, we are talking about college educated youngsters versus senile old uneducated dipshit racists.
lol…middle America and independent voters were lost in 2016 when you racist perverts held the state of Missouri hostage.
Mizzou students are dealing with their own problems. It is such a shame you need Uncle Sam’s assistance to deal with your own consequences of unemployment and sitting here all day commenting. Shame on you for robbing taxpayers. Get a job you bum.
I am employed and helping pay for you racist bums to SHIT on yourselves in the name of social justice! OH MY!!!!
“Employed”
Does the IRS know?
You make more in 5 weeks than what that one guy made in a year, and he said he made over 100 grand. Sounds awfully suspicious to spend all day here and still make over 100 grand in a few weeks. What are you peddling? Someone might need to tip off the DEA here, I think we have a possible lead.
“Could it be that maybe being a racist little shit is right?”
No. Not ever. Go fuck yourself.
The educational system is to blame for these kids. This is just like what they experienced in kindergarten… never allowing anyone to say anything negative, coddling, we have to “protect the children”. So, they are a product of their raising, just carrying it with them to college. Just like a jihadist is taught that from a child, ours are taught just the opposite… everyone is equal (they’re not), everyone must be sensitive to every whim, everyone gets a trophy for participation, no team gets beat, girls do just a well at everything as boys, the dumbest in the class is just as capable as the smartest, all that kind of stuff. We have created it, now we have to live with it.
To the leaders of the University of Missouri Administration:
It is ironic, but nonetheless well-deserved that the monster you helped create in the image of political correctness has come back to slay and devour you. Silliness and stupidity only begets more silliness and stupidity. Now live with it.
To the students of the University of Missouri:
Living without “helicopter parents” hovering above you and protecting you twenty-four hours a day evidently has led to a regression in your emotional and intellectual development. There is no God- given right stated in the Constitution that assures you that you will have a life that is guaranteed to “not be offended.” You want a land in which you won’t be offended, move to North Korea, and party with Kim Jong-un.
Now you can graduate from the U of M and go back home and live in your parent’s basement till your mid-thirties and not be offended.
You can stay home all day, because you probably will be unable to fulfill the basic requirements of even the most elementary job offered to you. The boys can can sit home every day, playing computer games and “whacking off” to Katy Perry videos, while the girls can spend all day sending “selfies” of her of her latest “teeth cleaning” and the roses she just had tattooed on her ass and tits to her friends.
Enjoy your new, non-offensive destiny.
A new generation of self-absorbed free-loaders.

Brilliant.If you and GT ever are invited by ‘The Colonel’ to be guest instructors, I will enroll in one of his classes.:)
Awww, the world has passed derpeba by. “Those darn kids won’t be able to do anything….blarble, blarble, blarble.”
If it was the 60’s he’d be saying the kids are goners because they embrave Civil Rights.
If it was the 70’s he’b be saying the kids are goners because they support the ERA.
If it was the 80’s he’d be saying the kids are goners because they are too spoiled.
Notice a pattern here? Every generation has it’s frightened and confused people who are scared of the world as it changes. erneba is just the “out of touch, old fart” of today. Nothing new there.
Thanks for the reading, Carnack.
I bet your life was a fucking bore, mine wasn’t.
You mentioned Ellie May was 15, my Lab is 9, what is your secret for long life ?
Yeah, Ellie Mae turned 15 in August. One reason for her longevity is that she has some terrier breed in her. And many of the terrier breed have an average longevity upwards to around sixteen years. I get them to the Vet every year for a checkup and shots and when they need it, which is not often. The dog food I used is the Beneful “Heathy Weight” and feed them the prescribe amounts as list on the bag for their weight. I give them no “human food” or table scraps. They do get milk bones and those chew strips to keep their teeth clean. I have three and one half acres, all fenced in, so they have room to roam. I entice them to go walking and running with me every morning by treating them to their chew strips after the Walk.
That is a recent picture of Ellie Mae that I use for my avatar.
I presently have a Lab, “HollyBelle,” she is five and probably the smartest/sweetest Lab of the four that I have owned. Labs are great, the best breed around. And they sleep in their houses on the carport, and the dog house are heated. They stay active, act as watch dogs, they don’t have it inn their hearts to be mean, aggressive guard dogs. My three other Labs probably averaged about thirteen years for longevity.
My ” Buffee ” sleeps behind my head. She has a hard time getting up, but will always get there. Poor dogs hips hurt her. And being a mixed breed. When Ellie dies, will or do you suggest another dog ?
When Ellie Mae dies, I will probably get another lab.
You should probably have your dog checked by a Vet. The have medicines to ease the discomfort of the joint problems.
I spend the money. She is not in pain. Is Elliie May a. Lab ?
Ellie Mae is a Terrier/Lab mix.
Got ya on spending money. Buffee is a female lab, English walker mix. Her hips bother her, she likes to sleep behind my pillow, LOL. Hard for her to get up on the bed. She has constant skin irritations. But she is always happy.
News Flash for Folks! Yale and Ithaca are private, i.e. NOT government-run.
Why waste a chance to race-bait? My readers love that stuff and comment over and over.
You mean you, and your readers’, RACE-HATE…The Democrat Party has completely transitioned from hating Black people, to hating white people.
Since Whites built your party…the race hate, like it always does, will destroy you….it is ripping your party apart. It’s just not reported….but after the 2016 elections, I predict it will become a recognized, and addressed theme….as to why you are in disarray.
At present you will refuse to admit it, because you are hoping Hillary can gloss over it…and you can continue to ignore it.
I just filled my tank with that cheap gas. Think I’ll go for a drive down to Edisto and enjoy the beach with the family tomorrow. Even run the AC with the windows open and stay gun the engine at lights.
No one gives a shit about your personal life, other than the FITS underwear drawer raiders and the NAZI Gestapo at the Obama Administration.
Why do you keep telling us about it?
upset today?
No, not at all. just being honest.
October 27, 2014: Study Reveals Significant Number of Non-Citizens Vote in U.S. Elections
In a forthcoming article in the journal Electoral Studies, we bring real data from big social science survey datasets to bear on the question of whether, to what extent, and for whom non-citizens vote in U.S. elections. Most non-citizens do not register, let alone vote. But enough do that their participation can change the outcome of close races. Our data comes from the Cooperative Congressional Election Study (CCES). Its large number of observations (32,800 in 2008 and 55,400 in 2010) provide sufficient samples of the non-immigrant sub-population, with 339 non-citizen respondents in 2008 and 489 in 2010. For the 2008 CCES, we also attempted to match respondents to voter files so that we could verify whether they actually voted. How many non-citizens participate in U.S. elections? More than 14 percent of non-citizens in both the 2008 and 2010 samples indicated that they were registered to vote. Furthermore, some of these non-citizens voted. Our best guess, based upon extrapolations from the portion of the sample with a verified vote, is that 6.4 percent of non-citizens voted in 2008 and 2.2 percent of non-citizens voted in 2010.
Because non-citizens tended to favor Democrats (Obama won more than 80 percent of the votes of non-citizens in the 2008 CCES sample), we find that this participation was large enough to plausibly account for Democratic victories in a few close elections.

We are watching you Rocky! :)
Of course. No source sited.
No go, flip.
flip will claim Disqus won’t allow him to post links, but really he’s to stupid to figure out how.
Don’t all 6 of us contributors on Fits have fun?
How do ya’ll divide up the screen names at the staff meeting?
SCPD had more clicks and contributors than Fits?
If that were the case GrandTango would be gainfully employed and Will Folks would be spamming his comments section.
Only 6 people posted today.
Come to think of it GrandTango’s blog died because he spends all day commenting here instead of writing his own material for his own site. Essentially he is doing what you do, spending all day and night here on FITS instead of working, and taking welfare to survive. No wonder you are up each others’ bums.
How much does Fits pay?
How much do we taxpayers pay for you?
Hey, Flip. You talk about how much you have when no one cares. You spend all day here bothering everyone else. No one could ever believe anything you say anyways.
It’s the same person. GT/flip/….
Two voices, one head. Guy’s a mental patient.
SCPD: South Carolina Pedo Department
My man, T Lawrence, is providing a great service to republican NAMBLA members all over SC. The FBI keeps a detailed record of SCPDs clicks…they catch a lot of predators that way.
Anybody else buy some after-Halloween discounted candy to restock their unmarked van?

Pardon the stink. LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry. I had my finger up some kids’ butt.
What were we talking about….
Same reason you kept telling us over and over again about your shitty now dead blog.
And his insurance premiums?
lol…he has told so many lies he can’t keep up with them…
Speaking of liars… your boy Trump
apparently agrees with me about Ben Carson. Are you going to blast him, too or will you admit you were wrong & apologize to me?
I eagerly await your attempts to avoid addressing this directly.
So.The Devil agrees with you as well.You are evil and insane.You also don’t like Carson because you’re a racist.
Hillary about to get indicted for multiple felonies and she is losing to EVERY Republican in Minnesota and you are worried about Carson?
Is Trump a racist, too.
A good man and once we deport the 11,000,000 illegals you can join Bernie in the Green Party as the Democrat Party won’t exist anymore.
Deporting 11,000,000 illegals… Are you really that gullible? I won’t hold my breath.
You are welcome to, though.
I hope to drive one of the busses. :)
In reality the compromise for the eventual nominee will be a WALL,closing the border,fines etc…and most importantly NO PATH TO CITIZENSHIP EVER! No voting or benefits.I could care less if they stay.Liberals are more criminal than illegals.
In another life you drove the bus to Auschwitz I’m sure. Might as well make a Hitler reference like your loverboy GrandTango.
Generation X has failed miserably at parenting well adjusted young adults. Maybe it was all the Nirvana mommy and daddy had playing in the background.
Who raised Gen X? Oh yeah, those shitty entitled Baby Boomers who are to blame for the current state of the country. Thanks, Assholes.
Greatest generation gave birth to the worst generation, I guess it is payback for America’s golden years.
This Gen X’r was raised by a strong woman who, at times, had to work multiple jobs to keep the household afloat. I learned a lot about personal accountability and hard work from her.
She must be so disappointed in you and your children.
According to you, at least.
LOL!
No, actually, she isn’t. The left with their personal attacks, it’s so pedestrian and predictable.
Just using your own words to make you look like an idiot.
You’re just easy, like other republicans.
“Generation X has failed miserably at parenting well adjusted young adults. Maybe it was all the Nirvana mommy and daddy had playing in the background.”
So, by your own admission you have failed America? Do you even have children?
Probably not.
I do, my 14 year old son is an honors student in high school and a 7 year old daughter is an amazing bundle of kindness and joy. Thanks for asking, I love bragging about my kids!
Awesome. They do grow up fast. Parenting, the hardest job you’ll ever love. I can disagree with you about everything, but being a good parent – that’s truly universal.
Thanks Rocky! I wish more people viewed parenting is a privilege and not just a byproduct of unprotected sex. Not to pat myself on the back, but i think I’m doing a fantastic job of raising two very kind, thoughtful, socially aware, well mannered children.
And when the Mrs. gets the tubes tied, you don’t need that rubbery thing no more.
So by your own words, as a Gen Xer, you’ve failed as a parent.
You fail at trying to make a point, so…..
It was a generalization. What exactly is your point?
That a guy who’s handle literally means “Shit Pieces” is shit at trying to make some grumpy old point about today’s youth and you end up dissing yourself in the process. Fuck man, at least wait until your sixties before you start trying to be some silly old fart. You just look like an idiot now.
Yet their father goes by Fecal Matters, they must be so proud.
Baby Boomers nearly destoryed this country. They may be some of the biggest suckers of all time. Trickle down economics? Tax breaks for corporations and the rich? Wars in the Middle East over clearly false intelligence? The War on Drugs? I could go on, but you guys have fallen for every scam that comes down the turnpike. Bush/Cheney was just the zeith of your incompetence. Fuck off boomers, you’ve fucked up things enough for us.
So LBJ had nothing to do with the demise of America? That’s rich!
How do you “shitty entitled baby boomer” relatives feel about your glowing review of them?
And flip just deleted his account again. Go home and cry loser.
Flip – where are you? If your Disques account keeps getting hacked – blame Putin.
Are you kidding! Flip is Russian spy. Flip comments here day and night for the glory of the Motherland. Blame me? Nyet! You may as well blame Mother Russia!
Blame Hillary. :) My attorney told me he had enough to file by noon today. Won’t be back.Best wishes with your family and no hard feelings.
File for what? Shut the fuck up. Your fake lawyer bullshit isn’t scaring one damn person.
The lawyer bit again? Well if that’s what you want to do. See you on here later today lover. I’ll keep those darned Liberal-Tarians busy!
Since Filp keeps getting “hacked” so much he should start a Twitter account to link to his Disqus account and set up two factor authentication on the Twitter account. This way the only way someone could “hack” his Disqus account would be to get his Twitter password and the six digit rolling code that they send to your phone via SMS each time you log in from a new device or browser.

He’s starting to remind me of a teenage girl with all of the dramatic flouncing out of the room.
“”How stupid are the people of Iowa? How stupid are the people of the country to believe this crap?” he asked.”
Poor GT & flip. Their boy Trump blasted them.
Stupid people like flip and GT are going to make my job of sabotaging the GOP that much easier.
If Flip’s out deleting all his posts on FITS, Breitbart, Shit Monkey, WeazalZipper, The Hill, Washington Examiner, Drudge, Hannity.com and ConservaTrap – he’s gonna be up alllll night.
He may be up for days if he is scared enough to do all that! The adrenaline must be rushing ;)
Na.The adrenaline would be rushing if I was a failed deadbeat mother that at one time lost custody of her alleged child while pretending to home school a child- yet spends 24/7 posting on websites.
Absolutely adrenaline rush – projecting!
Why not do this – everybody gets four years. If, at the end of four years, you can’t diagram a compound-complex English sentence, give a brief overview of the Bill of Rights, and read a balance sheet, you should be deported.
Heck I learned that in High School, but small classes. Colleges often have hundreds of students per class and no answers, just books you can’t even buy at the book store and while they are not supposed to, many written by professors. College is a waste of money today, unless COMPLETELY free. Which (cough cough, is not an option for us).
Most professors don’t give a care, took some classes in later years to learn more about technology – I like to read, nice, but inadequate education.
The best professors, don’t speak clear English. Best advisors, more interested in sports, best President more interested in keeping his/her job v. going against the grain.
That isn’t true across the board, but if I were a gambling woman placing bets on administration, the odds aren’t very good.
I would hope than I am across the board, but, yes, it is a daily grind to get my colleagues to speak and write good English. I have to give over the first two weeks of most of my classes to teaching proper grammar.
When I take my time, I have excellent grammar. There are only two required English classes, I aced both. The worst remark on any paper, my comma was barely noticeable. Professor circled and discounted points, with comment “is this a speck?” He took 3 points for that. I’ll never forget, but that was then….
Today we use a lot of creative writing that breaks every English rule, including creative. At least what I am familiar with. Example: Wut? Wud? and so on. I understand it is phonetically correct, that schwa sound, but …
When we get on these boards, few take the time or give a care, including me, about accuracy. I only care if I am corresponding in a business sense.
College is BIG business.
You were being serious! I was expecting a lace of sarcasm in your comment. I can totally relate. We home school, my first year was virtual. I am not dissing on the “senior” teacher over the incredible primary teacher, but …when we were on blackboard, I will never forget how she “axed” someone something. My daughter looked at me puzzled and then senior corrected herself, it took a few tries, but she got it right. Smart lady, horrible grammar, including written.
I never complained in that case because the primary teacher I dealt with, while junior, was superior in every way.
