No, I never said such a thing. I just simply displayed my distaste for somebody who gets upset because their parents did not buy them an iPad. I also show major distaste towards people who refuse to believe in the existence of God because their parents did not buy them an iPad.

Those people lack belief for all of the wrong reasons and are irritating.

High school is not a democracy, even with a student government (which you probably have).

It's a tyranny, ran by the principal and board of ed.

Your policies will never change, until your parents force change.

You are nothing but money to the school, Kannap, remember that. We students are nothing but numbers and state funds. Once we leave, they just replace us.

I can't put it on my list purely because of the inconsistency of the series. 1 was good, 2 was shite, 3 was ok, 4 was great and 5 was pretty fantastic.


I pretty much binged on it for a few weeks from the first to last episode. Some episodes were slower based, but it didn't matter as I was binging.

your principal is a putz, your protest is reasonable. well endowed women runners, tell me they wouldnt run without a sports bra as they need the support to run.
The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion … but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.

The most fundamental problem of politics is not the control of wickedness but the limitation of righteousness.

I did similar but had real trouble getting through series 2 and 3. Gale opening his door, though, was the moment it really kicked off.

Then, of course, Freshman year the football team and the rest of the athletic teams almost waged war with each other. Since one of our Senior runners at the time posted on Facebook about how the football team gets all the praise when they got knocked out in the first round of playoffs while he made it to the State meet and other teams made it further in their playoffs or state competitions.

Ultimately, the football players started bashing his post and all the other athletes of the other teams rallied behind him and against the football team. Eventually, both sides backed down though there has always remained a separation between the football team and the other sports.

The pacing wasn't consistent, but I was hooked on the major plot, which kept me going.

I mean, of course we are allowed to wear sports bras, but the rule we were protesting is that we are required to wear shirts while the guys aren't. Which is unfair. Are girls not supposed to get overheated in 100 degree temperatures with 90% humidity? :eyebrow:

Today's fun little flight will be a commuter flight starting at the inauspiciously named Dortmunde Wickede airport with a quick stop at Dusseldorf to pick up several commuters before flying to the final destination, Amsterdam Schiphol airport.

I don't know why this is is so addictive.

Ah, so you did consider it, at least.

They could have ended it at season 4 and it would have been perfect. I think the finale was spot on, though. A fitting end.

There has not been a war between sports in my school, mainly because it's just accepted fact that football gets more show boating than any other sport. It just happens.

The US focus on sports is always fascinating for me, purely because of the emphasis put on it. No one over here really gives a shit except the really scabby schools or the really posh ones.
