    Pornography in schools. Is this "grooming" our children as some angry parents believe?

    Tweety replied to toomuchbaloney's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    First of all it's not "hyper inflamed crap you see in media". It's a real thing that many of of gay people have lived. Have you ever been fired from a job, spit on, called an abomination, asked to...

    Pornography in schools. Is this "grooming" our children as some angry parents believe?

    Tweety replied to toomuchbaloney's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    I think I will agree with you on this point. For the topic of banning books in school it does seem to be driven by conservative concerns. It's not a "both sides" phenomenon although both sides are...

    Tweety replied to toomuchbaloney's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    I was asking, not presuming because I said "I don't know". What I do know is that based on the video you provided both liberals and conservatives are present. From what I know from being in protests...

    Tweety replied to toomuchbaloney's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Fair enough. He made a statement and you asked for examples and WW chose to give a reason why they weren't going to give you examples and that is kind of lame. Usually though when things get...

    The Trump Thread

    Tweety replied to Tweety's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    So Elon Musk has held a vote and the people of Twitter have spoken and Trump's Twitter Account ban has been lifted. Trump apparently isn't interested, but was interested enough to ask his followers...

    The Trump Thread

    They seem to use it with ease and deliberately, what makes you think they struggle not to use it like the rest of the

    What caught your attention in the world today?

    Tweety replied to toomuchbaloney's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    This makes me happy. Apparently ranked-choice voting has held up to court challenges over the years as being legal. So when voters elected in 2020 to adopt this system was it only Democrats...

    Tweety replied to toomuchbaloney's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    I don't feel the need to go tit for tat on who protests the loudest. You can see at Trump rallies, town hall meetings, and Tea Party protests of the past that conservatives can get loud and even...

    The highlighted part really is a presumption that makes no sense. In the situation Beerman describes the company is using its own profits to invest in itself through product development and...

    Tweety replied to toomuchbaloney's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    That's a double edged sword as demand decreases, inflation will ease, profits will decline and layoffs (see above mentioning of Amazon laying off 10,000 employees) will happen or at least hiring will...

    Depressed with Nursing

    Tweety replied to kyfitch's topic in General Nursing

    You probably should get out of med-surg. Consider some other areas like mentioned above. Also, don't define your life by your career or you will be miserable. I've been in it 30 years and have...

    President Biden thread

    Tweety replied to Beerman's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Teleprompter trips Biden up again. I listened to some of Biden at the climate summit on the BBC podcast, and he sounded pretty coherent to me but I missed this....

    Tweety replied to toomuchbaloney's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Okay thanks for clarifying then. I just didn't see where it was mentioned that Amazon was the #1 price gouger. The "imaginary retiree" didn't make much sense so I let that go. But as a 63 year...

    What caught your attention in the world today?

    Tweety replied to toomuchbaloney's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    I'm only relating to how the general public feels paying high prices and reading about high corporate profits. And yes, the "big business is evil folks" have something to hang on to. As do the...

    Tweety replied to toomuchbaloney's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    I think there have been instances of books that have sex scenes in them and they call this Mediaography. When I was in high school I read plenty of books that had sex in them as part of the greater...

    Wrong Department?

    Tweety replied to NNF2015's topic in General Nursing

    No one should be shamed because of the questions they ask. As a preceptor that's my job to answer all your questions. In fact, I get concerned when a the nurse I'm precepting doesn't ask questions....

    I honestly don't see where you're going. Yes they are still raising prices but prices rose 0.4% during the month of October. The bad news was that it was 7.7% higher than a year ago. The good...

    Wisconsin Nurse Amputated Man's Foot Without Orders

    Tweety replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Nursing News

    Agree. My first thought was reading the headline and thinking "does a doctor ever give orders to a nurse to amputate a foot"? It just went on from

    I think this conversation started with "Yes, corporations benefit from services that my taxes provide, so I think they should help pay for them. Take Amazon, for example. They did a great deal of...

    I hope that marketing strategy works. She might offset the high cost of inflation to her business through increased volume? I think for the longest time most businesses sucked up inflation to...

    This apparently is true to his style of management and he thinks it's motivating. I'm not sure how it will fly with today's generation of work-balance-what-can-you-do-for-me-I'll-just-quit...

    Stars, I hope the doctor can get him into an inpatient rehab soon since he failed the librium taper plan (no big surprise) and that your husband goes. All the yelling, humiliation, falling, etc....

    Tweety replied to toomuchbaloney's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    To piggyback off a similar situation parents are bit upset over sex education. Apparently 12 years olds are too innocent to learn about their bodies. Also in a time when it's shown that more and...

    Tweety replied to toomuchbaloney's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    These are interesting times. Corporations are experiencing some of the highest levels of profit margins in 70 years in some cases. One the one hand, say I make widgets and have 1,000 to sell...
