I have enough Native American, according to the federal government. My great great grandmother was actually a princess in the Blackfoot tribe. Unfortunately, the tribe I'm from was too small in the US to be recognized by the government (we were on the Maine/Canada border so split between both nations).
I say to ask where the fuck are my reparations, from both the US and Canada? If all I have to do to get shit on someone else's dime is say I'm a "SomethingElse American", sign me up. I'm not America, I'm Native American.
Can I have my millions of dollars now?
I agree with this to an extent... but how do you not take the high road with your own kids?
These are probably the only people you don't want to take the high road with. Children are, well... children. Coddling doesn't work, just look around you. The "high road" doesn't work, our society proves this.
What works is tough love. Force them to take the consequences of their actions, it's literally the only way we learn. I once told my son not to drive his little ride-on tractor thing so close to the lake, because he could accidentally drive it into the water and break it. He ignored me. A day later, he drove it into the water and broke it. He cried and cried and cried.
Know what I did? I didn't hug him. I didn't console him. I told him it was his own damn fault, and no.. I wasn't buying him a new one. He was so pissed at me he didn't talk to me for a week (best week ever, lol). Know happens when I give him advice now? He listens. He has not broken a single toy or device since.
Tough love works with kids, the high road doesn't.
Gaetz isn't so bad, worth keeping around IMO. Jordan can be hit or miss, but he's been more hit than miss. Zeldin is a keeper too, IMO. There's a lot of patriots in the House (and by a lot, I mean more than 1).. The senate? Not so much.
The reality is, I'll do neither of those (most likely). I'm currently looking at other leagues I could bring my children into. If not, I'm going to start my own team and play in one of the many private leagues.
I don't want my kids anywhere near this shit. Never mind the fact that league rules say that kids have to practice with masks on. Fuck that. Fuck having my kids playing soccer in 90 degree weather with a fucking mask on. That's a sure way to get them killed.
I have kicked off a FIRESTORM on the board's email group, lol. People are calling me all sorts of shit, which is totally fine -- I'm used to arguing with leftists, which boils down to nothing more than personal attacks against you.
They are now planning on voting me out of my position. I wrote a resignation letter, but now I think I'm going to sit on it and make them vote me out. I don't want to give them the moral victory of bullying me out.
As of right now, the President has stated he refuses to support the motion to remove me. He can't stop the vote, but he will vote against it. He's been very political about it publically by saying stuff like "He's entitled to his opinion and feelings, and we should embrace that". Privately, he's against all this new shit too but he doesn't have the power to stop any of it since everything is done through vote and him and I are the minority.
At this time, I'm just trolling the email group. Want to bully me because I don't want to participate in child abuse? Fine, I'm going to enjoy my way out the door xD
I told them during the meeting that I refuse to attend any diversity and inclusion training. I don't need someone talking down to me for hours on end about how I've interalized my bigotry. I also told them I refuse to let my team attend any training, as I don't need them being told they have hatred within them.
I've been looking into that. I was looking into it before all of this because a lot of parents are unhappy with the league and some of the coaches. This is likely the route I'm going to take.. resign from the Town league and start my own private team and join one of the private leagues in the area.
That's the Obama theology, right?
