Are these people morons?

They don’t have the least inking of what kids are about.

If you tell kids they can’t swear or cuss for a day, guess what they are going to do?

It will have the opposite effect — kids will swear more than ever on that day.

Stop trying to brainwash our kids!

This is a worthy initiative by the good Governor.

Here in Massachusetts, bullying has become a major problem in my daughter’s schools and I for one am sick to death of hearing, on a daily basis, stories of humiliation and intimidation directed at the students...

By the teachers.

1) How about “no eye-rolling” day?

2) Will potus lead the way as an example?

How about a day without the words “like” (unless it’s a verb) and “amazing”?

A chief pet peeve of mine, too. The common usage of the word "like" is appalling.

I can go all day without calling my co-workers names. I just point and ‘go’, “YOU!”

Would calling my classmate LaTrina by her name LaTrina considered calling her dirty names?

Coupe Deval Patrick with a former MA governor who, Thank God, did not win the presidency. Currently Patrick's lt gov, Tim "Crash" Murray (or Hurry Murray) is in a controversy for driving 108 mph without being belted in and crashing into rocks (he managed to survive, the state-owned car was prob. built like a tank) and having a suspicious story.

It is appalling.

“Like,I missed the bus and I was like, I’ll be late for school and I’ll,like,be in trouble.”
