The Venn diagram between people who think you should get fired for using the R word and people who think you should be able to euthanize your child if it has Down syndrome is almost a circle
@latterdaylaura There is no line. Just wait until genetic testing gets more advanced and people start selecting for trivial characteristics like eye color and height. Abortion on demand is evil.
Another massive L for Chicago.
In 2014, George Lucas picked Chicago for a $1 billion privately funded museum for his legendary collection - Star Wars artifacts, Norman Rockwell paintings, etc. Zero taxpayer dollars.
A left-wing nonprofit (“Friends of the Parks”) sued, claiming a parking lot was sacred “public trust land.” After years of delays, Lucas said screw it and took the whole thing to LA.
Opening this September. It looks incredible.
Meanwhile, Chicago rammed through the Obama Presidential Center on 19.3 acres of historic Jackson Park.
• Originally ~$300M → now $850M (nearly 3x over)
• Promised 2021 opening → now opening June 2026 (5 years late)
• Promised $470M endowment so taxpayers wouldn’t get stuck → only ~$1M deposited
One museum Chicago blocked.
One museum Chicago rammed through.
Chicago’s priorities on full display.
@coreyfrancis200@DuvalMagic The salt water completely ate the seal and killed my husband's after barely being in the water. Pool water was never an issue. 🤷🏼♀️
What's funny is that none of my kids would DREAM of raising a hand to me - probably because they received a controlled spanking from the ages of 3-5 if that sort of behavior emerged.
Weird how the spanked kids don't end up exhibiting violence towards their parents, but the gentle-parented kids do. Ironic, really.
You hold fast and follow through. “I will not allow of you, or anyone, to hit me. I will have to [hold you in a bear hug, or put you in a safe place] until you calm down.”
A child who self harms or harms others may need to be restrained for their own safety and the safety of others. That’s reasonable, and there are ways in which to restrain someone that won’t cause bodily harm—such as a bear hug, or being the big spoon. There was one time where I picked up my eldest son by the back of his overalls and carried him out of the store, because he was throwing a fit and if I had tried to pick him up and put him on my hip he would have tried to bite me.
