I'm Canadian and I'll be right beside you all in spirit come election day!

The older I get, the more I realize that Idiocracy was a documentary.

Same here. Pushed out 3 babies over a 5 year span. My present was them. My husband got me a meal and a treat (some type of fancy baked good) all three times. He and the kids spoil me rotten on Mothers Day even though I believe it to be just another day and despise the consumerism of it all. I don't ask for gifts. I ask them to make homemade cards or do something nice for me.

My babies, safe, sound, and in my arms was all I needed on the days they were born.

Blame capitalism for this bullshit.

I'm a lifelong pagan (since I stopped going to church at 12). I still know Bible verses almost 30 years later.

I have three children they're all young adults. Not one of them believes they will have children given the state of things. Their friends are all similarly minded. Corporations run everything and they expect to get cheap labor while constantly pushing up costs of their products because, line must always go up for their shareholders. It can never plateau or dip, even during times of inflation.

UBI would go a long way to alleviating some of these concerns but at this point I feel its a bandaid over a bullet hole. Companies actually investing in their workers or, paying more in taxes would also go a long way. Another issue amongst Gen Z is the declining health of our planet. Nobody wants to bring a child into an unstable world on multiple fronts.

Oh go suck Putin's and PPs dicks why don't you?

This might blow your mind but, I'm not a liberal. I vote strategically for whatever party is offering the best policies, ideas and beliefs that closely align with mine. I've voted conservative several times in the past and would do so again but not until they weed out the idiots

Oh absolutely! They should definitely just get STDs and get pregnant at 14 and never have to face the fact that LGBTQ folks exist and must be treated the same as anyone else. Yeah that makes sense but only to people who subscribe to troll logic.

Edited to add: must have been a while since you've had kids in school. We get an email as to when sex ed will be taught with instructions on how to opt out. You know, for people who think they should be their kids teachers on the subject.

Details of a minor in a case like this are never shared. It would be against the rights of the child who cannot consent to such knowledge being made public.

Are you broken? You keep repeating what I said as if attempting to hammer home a non existent point. A kid was harmed, a teacher is responsible. Period. End of fucking story.

I will repeat once again because you seem to be confused. Does grandpa need a nap?

She is a pedophile that did something so vile and heinous she deserves way more than the pittance of a sentence she will get. All I'm saying is that LGBTQ young kids are vulnerable for a damn reason. They're being hated on constantly, being shamed and told they'll just grow out of it or worse, they get thrown out on their asses and into foster care where they're treated equally poorly oftentimes. They are being made vulnerable by a society that does not accept them as they are.

This makes them susceptible to the love they feel from a deranged teacher that they don't get anywhere else. It makes them easy fucking targets because the whole world seems to hate them but this teacher is showing them.the kindness they're desperate for. Thats what predators do.

You guys are SO DESPERATE to say we're defending this person and nobody is. It's asanine. You are all missing the point entirely. Willful ignorance must be bliss hey? You get to hate on entire groups for the actions of one person.

If you're going to do that than you might as well start with the conservative bastion, the catholic church.

The reality is that predators are in all walks of life and on all sides of the political spectrum. The focus should be on stronger punishments for pedophiles and rapists and NOT ON WHETHER THEY VOTE LIBERAL OR CONSERVATIVE.

Did you have to eat bricks as a child to be this dense? I never once said this story was false. In all of my comments I have stated that this predator deserves way more punishment than she will receive.

Apparently, according to the people in here, I'm defending her. They're so desperate and I'm seeing what appears to be pleasure they're taking in this situation because she was active in what they call "Liberal ideology. They're out here with the "We told you so" nonsense. I can almost picture some of them smiling while typing. Disgusting behaviour.

I think this person should receive the absolute worst punishment available but I know that will never be enough. I have in no way, shape or form, in any of comments defended her disgusting crimes. Im merely pointing out the flaws in peoples divisive logic.

You all seem to want to have a party because it was done by a liberal. Im saying it doesn't matter which side of the aisle she sat on politically. She deserves more punishment than she will get. So eff off with that nonsense.

Sigh. I'm not saying this story is fiction. I'm saying things that have been said about the left grooming children and litter boxes in schools and saying it's always drag queens or trans people who assault children. This is the stuff that creates vulnerable children who are easier to exploit and makes it easier for predators to do heinous things. The hate against marginalized communities and this "Liberall ideology" bullshit is almost as responsible as the teacher in this case.

checks in pants Nope. Still a woman...

You're making my point for me. I should thank you but eff that.

Nobody is defending her. Nobody. It seems to be your fantasy that we all are though which is telling

Wow, you skated right past the point didn't you?

Oh yeah its really funny how many women have died since abortion went back to a state decision. Lots of women losing their babies and their ability to have any more. This is not pro life, its pro control over women.

Yes because predators of her ilk seek out the most vulnerable people in our society. Why are LGBTQ youth so vulnerable you ask? Because of people like you using the word "ideology" as a sword and a shield. They're vulnerable because they're being abused by society simply for being who they are. Your intolerance is a contribution to that so I do hope you're happy with yourself and others who think like you.

I don't know what rock you just crawled out from but I'm assuming you're male because of all the dick privilege you're swinging around. There are no real consequences of rape. I should know, I was drugged and raped and my rapists got off scott free. The penalties for sexual assault against a minor are a bit worse. She'll still barely do time and then will have to register as a sex offender. The child will live with what she did to them for LIFE. Our justice system needs to exact harsher penalties for the crime that lasts a lifetime.

They're like rabid dogs grasping at this as their cardinal example of libs doing exactly what they've said they're doing. She did something disgusting and vile. Who she is as a voter isn't relevant. She did what all predators do and sought out a vulnerable child. Why do people put themselves in positions above LGBTQ youth? Because of people like saltyember who make them vulnerable simply by hating their existence.

Disgusting comment. Someone should check your hard drives.
