You underestimate me.

Fat shaming, slut shaming, radical anti-feminism, bringing back bullying, the US owning the world, or womens voting rights. Which one of these opinions do you want to cancel me for?

@Bauber

EDIT
I didn’t even get into race, xim/xer’s, sexual consent, or abortion.

MBA degrees shouldn’t count as Master’s programs. I think they should be demoted to Bachelor’s, or reassigned to Arts so they can be more accurately evaluated for added value.

You certainly are, in my opinion! Serving as a role model, delivering hard real life burpee workouts!

There are groups who barely anyone knows of that have had a huge influence on music. The Velvet Underground for example. Don’t confuse name recognition with impact.

I’ll be gentle.

Single mothers are incapable of raising men; only girls and defective women.

Some of the early hip hop and rap groups changed popular music a whole lot. Used to be quite a small genre. Run DMC getting a few music videos on MTV had a huge impact on what type of music people are listening to now.

If you are in your twenties or early thirties I’ll give you a pass. If your older than that and honestly believe what you are posting I feel sorry for your wife and children. You have no excuse…

But…you do work for the government don’t you?

No excuse for what

Been with the same company for 34 years, lost a couple hundred thousand in the market and lost the potential of what could have been…but i have enough for when i decide to retire in 2 or 3 years

my post was not personal to me as i will be ok…but, there are alot of retirees or individuals that were planning too but are now worried that they won’t be able…and their main reasons is inflation, loss of dollar value, enormous increases in taxes and insurance, kids moving back home due to rising costs of rent and mortgages, car loans are now 10 years, wages are not going up with inflation

its not just effecting the young, its effecting everyone

I wouldn’t say incapable. A couple (that I know of) of the best men I’ve ever met (veterans, business owners, community leaders, good family men) were raised by single mothers. I think seeing what their moms went through to raise them was a big factor in them turning out to be good men.

I know the stats for children from single mother homes, and I firmly believe the best thing for a child is to be raised by a mom and a dad, so I’m not saying being raised by a single mother is desirable in any way, just that it doesn’t mean the mom is 100% incapable of raising a man. It depends a lot of who the mom is as a person. There’s also plenty of reasons why one can become a single mother, that aren’t necessarily through any fault of her own.

I feel like that can be very dependant on why they are single.

I agree.

I also think Juris Doctorates should be 2-year junior college certificates.

I could never.

I don’t need to add any nuance to my position. Single mothers are incapable of raising boys to become men.

You don’t have to agree.

I’d consider Shaq a man. Seems like a pretty good dude all around. Good role model for kids. Good character (gives back to the community). Raised by his mom.

I didn’t say that boys raised by single mothers cannot become men, i said their mothers cannot raise them into men. There is a subtle yet stark difference.

I think it completely depends on if the single woman has her head screwed on and a balanced support group around her. All it takes is an awesome Grandad or a heavily involved Uncle.

On her complete own though? I mean sure, but we don’t need to make it a gender thing. I don’t know any stats although I feel a single Dad can struggle just as much raising a boy on his own, or a girl. The perfect scenario will always be having both parents (or guardians of both genders) in their lives.

There are always exceptions to this.
