      <![CDATA["Her son grew up in Portland and has NO cavities! He's an adult now. Your argument doesn't hold water. "  then you say someone else's logic is bullshit?   <br>
<br>
Here's a secret: anecdote is not the same as evidence, kiddo.  And you can't use one example (ok ok, two examples-- including YOUR PARTNER..WTF??) to prove anything about a large-scale public health issue.<br>
<br>
"fuck right off"??  <br>
<br>
whatever dude, you're a perfect example of a turd that ruins this place.  Take your own advice.

      <![CDATA["With this program you can visit a dentist and get fluoride treatments all you want without it costing you anything more than signing up for the program for your children."  <br>
<br>
This shows total ignorance of the barriers to receiving Medicaid dental care, as well as the principles of something called *prevention*.  NE, don't forgot your failure to understand what real lives are about.  Do you have REAL any suggestions (alternatives to fluoridation) that would safely and effectively cut down costly, painful dental procedures down the line for a large proportion of kids?  No, Medicaid is not the answer.  And no, I didn't think so.

You mean now you have to file an income tax with the City of Portland?  Fuck that shit.  It's bad enough when you tell the State of Orygun how much you earn.  The City has no business knowing anything about my finances.  Try and get it, shitheads!

      <![CDATA[I've tried being civil about it, maybe I'm just unlucky and end up attracting psycho women but no woman has ever taken well to me saying that I'm not feeling it anymore. It crushes them. No woman has been cool with it like "oh no that's totally fine, alright well it was great hanging out. bye!" If it was that easy, EVERY guy would just get it over with. You think we like the endless streams-of-conscious texting? Waking up to 38 new texts? You think we like when you wait outside my building (or use the intercom to call random people and say you're FedEx) to sneak in and then sit outside my door for 30 minutes texting "I KNOW YOU'RE IN THERE"? Seriously, bitches are crazy as fuck and nobody talks about it or everyone pretends it's just misogyny. Psycho cunts have killed chivalry and now they're killing civilized break ups. No regrets, now accept your /ignore like a grown ass woman.

      <![CDATA[You can easily make the argument that schools are under-funded on a variety of topics, and I think people would understand this (except for the PERS perks, etc) But this tax costs one heck of a lot more than other taxes just to collect and distribute. A lot of silly overhead. This was a foolish idea to begin with. And aren't we second-guessing how the school board allocates its' funds too?

Agreed.  That's pretty much what i meant, despite the way i started off my statement -- that we should treat them all equally, as they are all basically the same.  And it appears that i offended a few characters in doing so...Sorry that i'm not sorry, folks.

Typical liberal Portlandy bullshit, vote for the hippie agenda then balk when you have to pony up the money to fund it. "But I thought Mitt Romney types had to pay for all my bullshit art teachers?"

      <![CDATA[Oh man, I've done this to plenty of women in this town. Don't take offense or let it bruise your ego.. I've tried telling women the truth, that "hey, it's been fun hanging out and I wasn't sure where this was going at first but the more we hang out the more I realize I just kinda like you as a friend and I hope that's cool" or the more straight to the point "I'm just not really feeling it anymore, sorry" and it always backfires, suddenly I'm the piece of shit who was leading her on (for what?), that she's going to tell everyone what an asshole prick I am, that she wasn't into me like that either, or "omg you're not in love with me are you?!" turnaround, or that the guy is creepy, etc, etc. Women pull out their rolodex of rejection and throw everything and the kitchen sink at the guy who had the audacity not to be rapey.<br>
<br>
Women can't handle the notion that not every guy wants to fuck them.
