It's my family? OK,I can see that...up to a point.When I was a kid my parents used to punish me for refusing to eat my Brussels Sprouts,but they stopped when I became an adult.Yet here I am,more than old enough to have had a draft card,and my "daddy" (hell,I don't look *anything* like No Limits Nigga) wants to punish me for not having a health insurance plan of which *he* approves.
Where do I apply for a divorce?
To: TurkeyLurkey
Sure sounds like an agenda to me. You have to wonder though is the government apparatchik who claimed there is no agenda simply too stupid to know there is one or lying? I’d have to give either choice a 50/50 chance of being true

I haven't forgotten how many attendees of the most recent Democratic [sic] party convention were proud to announce, "We're all part of government."
The well fed serfs have spoken.

I have always said its the very long term agenda that was developed after world war 2 to prevent the white Christian male from engaging in another holocaust.
when these kids grow up, individual freedom will not even be a concept they understand.
I think however, there will be schools for the elite of the elites, that will educate them so they will be able to rule the masses.

“The President is the dad of the country, and you listen to what he says.”
Well, we have ‘baby daddy’
combined with ‘halfrican’ ...
The issue is confused beyond the standard cultural interpretation.

I think Washington said it best, frankly. It’s not family. It is force - a dangerous servant and a fearful master.

Another Reason to homeschool. Little Timmy cried when we tried to put him with normal children.
They picked on him, called him names. He couldn't cut it.

Since I will not be engaging in debate with you, please to not send messages to my ping page.

Since I will not be engaging in debate with you, please to not send messages to my ping page. Why is that exactly? Is there a problem?
To: humblegunner
My kids were reading 5 years above grade level in kindergarten and working math three years above grade level.
No way I was going to stick them in with kids who could hardly count.
My kids didn’t want to be with normal kids either. It would have held them back too much.

Yeah.
And you aren’t making demands about “Don’t Post To me!” either.
