01) I Used to Be an SJW
I wouldn’t go so far as to say “teenagers are stupid”…They’re often quite intellectually bright…
…I’d just say they’re not the best source for setting public policy, due to lack of life experience…
Good video.

01) Hey ladies! Ready to Get Drafted by the Military?
“Should women be drafted into the military in 2017? The rise of feminism and calls for equality make that question very relevant today. We explore that question and the question of whether having women in combat roles is a good idea.”
In my opinion…there is no substantive difference in being forcefully taken into custody, removed far away from your home, put through mandatory training in how to kill and mutilate other human beings, potentially being forced into a setting [likely a foreign land] where your life and body are under threat, and you have to kill or mutilate other human beings..
…there is no substantive difference between such a lived experience, and being taken for the benefit of a thug, terrorist organization.
The interviewer is correct…Not all males can handle it.
I have never been a supporter of military drafts.

01) Trump Isn’t Bragging About The Stock Market Anymore
“As President Trump boasted about the economy during a speech on Monday, he left out one of his favorite lines. Nowhere did he mention the skyrocketing stock market.
Viewers at home understood why. In the corner of their television screens, a graphic showed the Dow Jones industrial average seemingly in free fall down 500 points, down 600, down 800, down 1,000.
By the time a bullish Mr. Trump was done speaking in Blue Ash, Ohio, the bearish market had plunged by nearly 1,600 points before recovering somewhat to close 1,175 points down.
No president in modern times has connected his political fortunes to the stock market as much as Mr. Trump, who relentlessly cited its meteoric rise as a sign of his success at restoring confidence in the American economy. But the drastic sell-off on Friday and Monday demonstrated why most presidents scrupulously avoid talking about short-term gyrations in share prices: If you live by the Dow, you may die by the Dow.

01) Tom Brady Kissed His Son on the Mouth, And That’s None of Your Business
“In a documentary video about Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, Brady is shown kissing his 11-year-old son on the lips. Because we are so desperate to blame, shame, and humiliate parents—America’s real national pastime—suddenly this is an issue.
Except it’s not. It’s a parent kissing his kid.”
Lip kissing between parent and child, is not particularly uncommon.
…It’s the outrage over it, that is new.
The video was not being nice, and working correctly…so, I didn’t get to the point of the kiss. I wont comment on this specific kiss.
I will say…it’s disturbing that people get so bent out of shape over lip kissing between parent and child, that it actually becomes treated as “newsworthy”.
Adults and children should be able to lip kiss, if they mutually wish to.
