This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

What didn't I do? by ewillND
Make sure my kids are multilingually polite? Yes we did. Own my choices? Sure we did. Every single day. And they were the right ones for us. You might have a different perspective given the opportunity to spend a few years overseas, but maybe you wouldn't.
I don't really care if you go to a football game anywhere. I'll probably go to Dublin. It's a cheap, short flight, and the weather will be good in late August. I went to Venice last weekend for the same reasons.
Your BS has been grandfathered into this board. Anyone else would have been long since expelled. Good for you, man. Keep at it.
I'm going to bed. Feel free to take the last shot. I'm sure it'll be brilliant.
