i think the modern New Iberia haircut is a Ceasar with a strong dose of Edgar, but i'm not an expert on such things.

What the mom should have done was call a friend and get help to disappear him. I doubt he told anybody he was going to frick a 13 year old.
never find his body (or he turns up in the Wolf River - How do you figure out where he came from?
probably hard to think of that under pressure though
people heard the gunshot

yeah, unless there's a whole lot more to the story, i dont give a shite if it WAS execution style out on the front lawn.

Plus, his idea of far right he is alluding to is nothing than an 80’s/90’s Democrat or republican. Don’t fall for his shite.
this cannot be overstated. there is no BOTH SIDES ARE SO EXTREME here. mainstream Republicans and conservatives are what they've always been, probably even less so. the left loves taking issues that literally 95% of the population agreed with just a couple decades ago and acting like they are somehow new and extreme. they are master of this kind of manipulation and propaganda, just like their Soviet predecessors.
this is the inherent flaw in progressive politics - there is no catching feature. ok, so one man, Van Jones, decides that "ok now is too far". but what about all the people who have been saying "ok now is too far" for years? what about all the people who are saying "nowhere near far enough"? there is no objective "we've made it", which is why progressive politics is all consuming. there's always somethign else out there to destroy under the guise of making it more fair.
also, nice stupid "we need prisons bc where else are we going to put the Klan" as if that is even remotely relevant in 2026 and as if prisons arent mostly full of violent black criminals.
bottom line - frick him.

Ed Harris took the wrong career path from the jump, and anyone who saw him wearing Marine officer dress blues in The Rock knows it.

So what you're saying is - all your problems are because of a bunch of 80 year olds.

Typical boomer/early Genx take.
ok well i'm a millenial, but go off.
besides who cares if older generations blame shite on younger generations, they're old and irrelevant. old people complaining about young people is insignificant. a bunch of 20-30-40 year olds blaming all their worldly problems on previous generations is corrosive to the very fabric of society. it's leads to a cancerous mindset that nothing you can do will improve your situation, so why try?
it's why some minority populations cant get ahead - white people have prevented them from success, so why try? same exact mindset. it's poison.
it's communism's bread and butter, for what that's worth.

That’s a tough call. When I sold my house I took the doors off the hinges and the light fixtures. It turned into quite the ordeal with the buyer, and I’m not sure I’d do it again.

I guess what I mean is that students are looking for a relationship with their college. They want to love it. SEC schools are good about creating those relationships with their students that when they become "Former Students,*" they come back to campus, they donate to causes, etc. And when they are sold on the relationship or the experience, they are blinded to the cost.
Some schools are more transactional. Get in, get a degree, get a job, and its a means to an end. Where'd you go to college? Midwestern State, Mary Hardin-Baylor, Lamar, etc. They don't go back on weekends to watch football. Students at these schools can certainly get into debt, but they are less willing to justify it. Who loves Stephen F. Austin Bearcat football that much?
i see what you're saying. but i think it's more a reflection of the culture. because in the 80s, 90s, and 00s plenty of us had "relationships" and loved our school, not just A&M. the lazy rivers and luxury retreat campuses is a newer phenomenon than that
quote:
college went from 80% transactional to 80% relational in the marketplace.
i agree with everything you've said in your post, but i'm not sure what "relational" means in this context (i went to A&M, so i need small words)

There are thousands of students like dear Ashley in this story. They like to blame the system, but its their fault. Don't buy the crap that they do not know what they are signing. They come from impoverished backgrounds and all of a sudden they are living in a nice dorm, eating the best food of their life, and all they had to do is sign a piece of paper that they don't have to worry about until they graduate. Nut what this story doesn't tell you is that undergraduates are capped at $5500 in loans for freshman and sophomore years and $6500 for junior and senior years. Anything beyond that, they had to seek out private loans.
YES. THIS.
quote:
College is expensive BECAUSE (in large part) government backed student loans. If you are a business whose "customers" can get a loan, regardless of financial status, credit history, etc, allowing you to get paid in full regardless of if you fully deliver your service/product (i.e. the customer graduates) why wouldn't you continue to raise the price of your goods/services? There's no risk and no real competitive marketplace because the government makes sure you (the college) gets paid in full even if the loan holder can't pay back the lender/government.
it's actually kind of shocking how few people understand this simple mathematical explanation. libs will go into absolute acrobatics to try to tell you that this isnt true, but it obviously is.

I think you misspelled Gen Z because Gen Xers aren't the ones blaming Boomers. Hell, I would be willing to bet the vast majority of complaints about Boomers keeping me from getting promoted are actually directed towards Gen Xers.
someone else posted this as well, and i replied. you're probably right, it's mostly millenials and then younger generations copying the millenials because they like having someone else to blame.
millenials are mostly to blame for this phenomenon, and it's only goign to get worse. i predict gen-z will begin to blame the gen-xers once the boomers have all died off. and so on.
it's now a cultural norm to blame older generatiosn on your propblems based on very nebulous factors. "my friend's boomer parents have a 3500 sqft home and a second vacation home at the beach and that is why i am broke"

Big Bend is awesome and you are dead wrong.
Sorry you think peak living is some shitty arse suburb with your mcmansion.
i agree that he is wrong about Big Bend, but he did not say that peak living is mcmansions in the suburbs. in fact, he is saying the opposite, that Texas is pretty much just that, and that's why it's boring

I don't know any GenXers who shite on Boomers or blame them for their problems. Not saying they don't exist, but they aren't as prevalent as Millennials or younger generations. The Boomer hate is strange to me in its irrational application. They blame EVERY boomer as if they all had a hand in the alleged problems caused. But will speak fondly of certain Boomers (like Bill Clinton). Anyway, while blaming others for your woes may be cathartic, it doesn't solve your problems.
you're probably right, it's mostly millenials and the younger generations piggybacking on them.
