PROTIP: THE KKK ARE HEAVILY INFILTRATED BY THE EFF BEE EYE

i have not seen this honestly. I would not assume people that are vocal about their views have no sympathy towards the victims.
there are people who don't believe that there are any victims in mass shootings, because the mass shootings are performed by actors.

IMO, humans ability to develop empathy occurs mostly as children. It can be taught and/or it can be developed naturally, but it's not something that's easy to develop as an adult. People either have it by then or you don't.
As an adult, shared experiences may elicit empathy for a similar situation, but they are not going to develop empathy where it doesn't exist.
i agree, most people i know who struggle with empathy were not shown much empathy as a child or were shown empathy by their family but not taught the benefit in empathizing with outsiders (had a reclusive upbringing, "stick to your own" "do not trust others").

there is nothing more satisfying than paying your insurance premiums dutifully for years upon years and when you finally need to cash in your chips, all that money paid in means nothing but a meager percentage of the cost incurred. stay sick and struggle, bankruptcy is always an option, do not pass go, no $200.00 for you.

“Donald Trump is calling natural-born Americans ‘Anchor Babies.’ That’s a racist term.”
agreed.
also, remember the little girls in princess attire dropping the fbomb for feminism?

Over 1,100 children, aged 5 to 12, from the United States, China, Canada, Jordan, Turkey, and South Africa were chosen to participate in the study. Most of the children came from Christian, Muslim, or non-religious households. To test whether children raised on religion would behave more morally than non-religious children, they were asked to play what’s called a “dictator game.” In this game, children were shown 30 stickers and told that they could pick their favorite 10 to keep for themselves. The children were then each told that the experimenter didn’t have enough time to play this game with everyone, so some of the children at their school wouldn’t get any stickers. What the results showed was that children from Christian and Muslim households were both significantly less generous than children from non-religious households when it came to sharing their stickers with anonymous peers.
The findings not only show that religious kids aren’t more altruistic than non-religious kids; it suggests that not being religious may actually increase moral behavior. To most this would seem counterintuitive. The authors of the study have an explanation that involves an interesting phenomenon called moral licensing. The term refers to a sort of mental glitch—whereby doing something that enhances one’s positive self-image makes them less worried about the consequences of immoral behavior. For instance, research has shown that men who report being very opposed to sexism later go on to hire men for what would traditionally be considered a man’s job. They do this because they feel that since they are not sexist—at least, in their own minds—a decision to choose a male over a female can’t be immoral.
Similarly, someone that sees him or herself as being a moral person for devoutly practicing a religion might be less concerned about their actual behavior. In light of this, it is not so surprising that children who identified as religious did not feel as compelled to share stickers, since they believed themselves to be a good person independent of their behavior. On the other hand, an atheist child might be more concerned about the morality of their acts, since it is their behavior that tells them they are a good person, and not the following of rituals or prayer.

That's because you don't have to refrigerate after opening
i keep all condiments in the fridge once opened. my husband leaves ketchup/hotsauce out and i'm constantly putting it back in the fridge. is that a canadian thing or a valerie is crazy thing?
-
The fat in bacon and the fat in a big ole hock sure is the same thing. I believe that is probably what roy was referring to.
mmmkay, but i'll pass on roy's greens.
The kind of help you need for that childhood can't be found online. Please see someone
i am, getting over shake and bake chicken twice a week was the most difficult childhood trauma i've overcome thus far.
-
What do you think that hunk of pork that is tossed in and can never be found turns into?
ham hocks and bacon grease aren't the same thing. i mean, i've never replaced one with the other..
I didn't say anything about hot sauce but since you brought it up this stuff would make dog doo taste good.
please don't eat dog doo.

A little Frank's on the ol' mac n cheese. Heaven.
i don't remember ever even having a bottle of hot sauce in our fridge growing up. but then we had our mac & cheese with cut up hot dogs. a casserole fit for a king.
-
Hot sauce enhances the food yo.
lies. of course hot sauce has its place, over a bowl of mac and cheese for example.

Jeb's wife is ugly as homemade soap, not a good asset when running for president, and ole Jeb ain't no prince charming either...
very interesting point vol. it is super important that the man-child running for prez has a hot piece of arm candy. and the man-child himself must be a stud. yet another reason trump doesn't make the cut. but maybe this guy?

Turn your nose up at that kind of food and you deserve prejudice. Dont' care what color your skin is or where you're from.
and why do people feel the need to kill good food with hotsauce? i've never understood that. or people who put ketchup on everything.
-
Fried chicken and bacon grease in the collard greens may have something to do with that.
do people really use bacon grease in collard greens? that's not how we do it, bacon grease is gross.
Just blame socialists!

Nothing more dangerous to the liberals than a successful black man . The Left/Media will try do to Carson, (bring him down ) because he, like Cain, is a black man off the Liberal plantation, and they must bring him to heel.
how so? i don't support carson because he is an evangelical christian. evangelicals have no place in american politics. stick to church.

Finally, honesty. So refreshing!!
i got jokes.
-
trump only has the support he has because the republican party is a very very little lost sheep right now..

interesting. he's obviously black, i don't understand how one 'masquerades as a negro' and his campaign is the entity pandering to a false mold of what a *real african american* should be.
but he does have a great deal of knowledge concerning grain stock piles in africa. lollol.

i don't think he knows much about bernie's policies, just that he can't support support him because he's 'extreme'.
