and that many lives would be improved if we worked a little harder at recognizing this in our young people - and then provided them the help and support they needed to reach their full potential before things started to go so terribly wrong.

We have a weekly contest in the lounge to see how many "ignores" we've managed to score this week. I've only been able to add two additional ignores to my pathetic total of 7 and I really need another in order to hang with the "pros" (like California Peggy who always wins every week dammit! oops! another swear word, naughty me )

What are you, a cowardly cretin that can't stand it when someone disagrees with your brilliant thoughts.
Why don't you crawl into bed and pull your head under the cover until the bad internet bullies go away.

Just kidding

God move, keep the chat intelligent and informed my dark friend.

I will never block anyone or any thread because I want to know everything, the good as well as the bad.

Just my point of view, in case you find it useful.

I guess its because I always feel inferior, for not being born in US. I've encountered so much discrimination in real life, I didn't know a liberal forum can be the same. But yah, I need to thicken my skin somehow
