Except this is not true. Immigration does not depress wages. It boosts the economy.

I’m against immigration (for purely economic, not for racist reasons!)

I really hope you are being sarcastic here.

I really miss our used book store. It was tiny but packed, and it had that smell.

So they are trying to force the company to admit, “no we are still committed to anti-consumer policies to boost profits”, is that the point?

Listen, Im over here wearing my floaties, watching sales people doing a triple gainer off the high-dive. I’m not trying to pretend to be especially good with the social skills. All I’m saying is water is wet. Some people have an affinity to those sorts of skills, some don’t. Some people work at it. Some can’t. Everyone has to at least bathe though. That’s a metaphor, but also not.

Why do you need to be forced by society to develop social skills?

Social skills is another way of saying the abilities required to function in a society. You might as well ask why do you need to learn to swim to get in the pool.

Why isn’t putting your best forward enough?

Often it is, but to stretch the metaphor used above, they are going to be stuck in the shallow end.

My dad was a Coastie. He signed up during the Vietnam war. He liked to say ‘we SAVE lives’.

I would vote for a slime mould over Trump. I genuinely believe it would make better decisions

There is plenty to be weary about another Obama term.

I was the younger brother. I was “willing” to do a lot of things I knew were bad ideas.

Its bioengineered, no way he would go for it. Only organic brainworms for our homeopath in chief.

I’ve only had with cream cheese ‘frosting’, but it is clearly a variation of a savory cake.

To answer your question, no it is not valid. The fact that you don’t actually stand by the word offended really answers yourself.

Why choose “offended” as the verb here? I’m not saying I’ve never seeing an offensive movie… But what you described is an annoyance at most.

It’s almost as if you are claiming offense to be contrarian.

Im in CA and we have a skeleton house as well. I see it every day on my commute (its on one of the three roads you have to travel to get into the town). Its fun to se how creative they get with the costumes. Still dressed up for pride month last I drove by.

that would make someone a real bastard…

get to the choppa!
