Mess with the bull, you get the horns.
Thus endeth the lesson.

What is it with this criticism?

Are you saying that a legitimate medical condition that TO THIS DAY bars one from service is a legitimate avenue of attack?

If so, why?

How dare I criticize and joke about the orange god and his made up diagnosis

How do you know it was made up?

Are you his doctor?

You can lay off the histrionics. I'm just asking questions.

I just told my kids they were getting drafted and laughed and laughed.

And they replied with "We can't go to war. We suffer from bone spurs"

So now you're mocking my children?

Me? I don't care. But my kids? That's tasteless. But it's what I'd expect from you so while it is tasteless, it isn't surprising.

Here's what I want to see in a TIME:

'Mommy, why doesn't the government want us to have guns, but it's ok for Iran to have nukes?'

(A hush falls over the TIME crowd)...

Does intellectually disadvantaged lazy freeloaders even read Time magazine? I doubt it but that's who they are targeting with this dribble.
People dead broke financially as well as morally.

People still subscribe to TIME? I dropped my sub like 15 years ago and never went back. It's a bunch of garbage.

I told my kids that the Iranian citizens and those of descent are generally nice. They should be treated like you want to be treated. The Iranian government is viscous.

Speaking of the Iranian Government being vicious? There are reports they just hit a US base Taji North of Baghdad.

Oh and, my kid is older but I tell her the same thing. HUGE difference between the people and the PTB.

After reading the Time article I was so upset I dropped everything I was doing and immediately enrolled all my kids in an intensive..."Orange Man Bad"...electroshock treatment program. They show the patients pictures of Orange Man, and then shock the snot outta' them for about 45 seconds with a truck battery. Each session lasts about 3 hours.

Can someone post the link to Time's article on how to talk to your kids about the situation with Osama bin Laden?

Exactly.

Only if Trump was president at the time would you be able to find that.

Isn't Time a spin off of Mad magazine?

This has definitely become clown world. Since when do we have to apologize for taking out a terrorist who was illegally in Iraq and was organizing attacks on a U.S. embassy (act of war)? Time Magazine is a anti-American propaganda machine.

How has Iran responded following Soleimani’s death?
Iran has called for three days of national mourning. Thousands of people gathered in the streets of Iran’s capital, Tehran, to protest Soleimani’s killing. Funeral services were held in Iran on Sunday and Monday. Iranian leaders say they will take action against the U.S. At this time, however, it is unclear how or when they will do so. Still, some kind of action is expected.

Curious ?

I wonder why Time leaves out Iran putting an $80 million dollar bounty on his head, and others calling for Americans no matter where they are to be grabbed and lynched.

"Quiet Timmy. The adults are talking."

There, that was easy.

Son, we coup'd their country in 1953, installed our puppet so we got their oil cheap, and the money went to oil companies, not their people.

It has been downhill ever since..you reap what you sow.

I just filled em full of lies and my version of the truth...I figured I better do it before some news source could. MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!

Talk to your kids about Iran?!?!

“Ok son, I don’t actually know why the President would air drop BILLIONS of dollars in US cash to the Iranian regime. Maybe it’s because he’s a terrorist-supporting anti-American piece of shet”

Is that the advice Time gave out a few years ago?

Kids dont give 2 squats about Iran.

That's the most accurate answer. But if you want, just tell them it's like "Call of Duty".

It would do most people well to learn how to distinguish between a governing body and the people that are subject to it's control.

I'd venture to say that there isn't a government on this planet that doesn't take advantage of the citizens.

People are so quick to say America bad. Russia bad, China bad, -insert country here- bad. When most of the people are just doing what they can to find something to enjoy in life and/or raise a family or whatever they can do before they die.

It goes even further when inside each individual country TPTB further suppress the common person by pitting them against each other and encouraging them to pick sides and promoting the idea that people are the embodiment of a political party and therefore they are evil and must be vanquished.

Sounds a lot like the notion that to kill an idea you must kill every single person who has had that idea in their head.

I don't know what age kids they're referring to, but this information is on a need to know basis, and my children don't need to know.

Let kids be kids - we live in a place where they can.
