Jimmy Carter was the best person the states have had as president in the last fifty years at least.
Then we go and vote Ronald Reagan in after.
What’s with Republicans and voting for celebrities?
They like to be spoken AT, not spoken WITH?
Why do you capitalize words like that?
For emphasis, it's a common practice in online text communication.
My university English professor would literally shit herself to see that.
Oh lord. Better not show her then.
She has IBS so she shit herself a couple times throughout the year.
Does she have IBS otherwise that would be a stupid reason to shit yourself.
No she doesn’t.
She just had a healthy respect for the English language.
Yes because she had IBS and she shit herself a couple times that year.
Wow, I’d hate to see your unedited original comment.
Anyways we’re done here, have a nice day.
I'd think at university you'd learn the difference between formal and informal communication, but I've learned a lot about the quality of the education system after teaching a few years.
Capitalizing words like that makes it look like you write YouTube video titles.
It isn’t informal communication it’s a travesty.
and what the hell's with that capital T in the middle of youTube?
Don’t even get me started about McDonald’s.
Every time I eat there it’s like I have IBS.
I blame society
I see what you did there.
It was very clever.
How’s that working out for you, being clever?
Some days
some days
you?
Drugs help, but meth and fent only get you so far in life.
I was going to say don't knock it til you've tried it, but meth and fent oof. If you're being serious, sorry you're going through a rough patch. Getting off fent was crazy hard.
It’s not a rough patch, but thanks for your concern.
Impressive going from junkie to teacher!
It’s also been used for hundreds of years, it’s not a post-internet concept.
It might be a youtube title, or it might be quoted Greek or Latin text. Or various other uses in between.
As far as I can tell mostly to eat buckets of KFC spicy chicken.
your antics aren’t amusing
Thanks!
50 years? The presidents before him were Ford, Nixon and LBJ, so going back to Eisenhower at the least.
He was a good human being, but I don't think anyone would call him a good president.
What was wrong with what he did?
I don't recall the details, but the economy wasn't doing great and I don't think anything he did helped. Inflation was really bad.
I'm sure he did good things, but I think that's what he's remembered for - that and the whole Iran hostage crisis thing.
I never heard about him taking hostages.
They are people with stories and struggles like everyone else.
