Explaining the reasons is another way of saying you’re defending it, because you’re not giving the real reason, which is culture war rhetoric, our 58 Mile border is fine. We have other needs for that cash.

Now go away

lol.......deflecting your own bigotry

I have to say, you belong in NH along with the rest of the toxic waste

I'm assuming you're libertarian, lol. If you were a conservative you would have already called me a libtard and cried about Illegals.

> No one is forcing children to transition.

Except that peer pressure and this type of "education" has led to this happening in other parts of the country. Take an underdeveloped child who has always been ripe for bullying and now encourage them to pursue a path and convince them it's the right thing. Then later on as adults they realize what happened.

>And don't give me some bible bullshit.

Just throwing shit at the wall to see what sticks?

Canada will actually deport them.

Besides the traffic, I-4, and occasional hurricanes, Florida is doing pretty damn well as a state and is making it's way up to the top. Should go down there some time, Tampa is a beautiful diverse area, and many communities are retired northern folks. Met a few from NH and have actually camped at their campgrounds up here and they love it in FL as do a lot of people I know. Nice place to spend summers as long as the red tide isn't flaring up.

Non-US citizens that fly into Canada and illegally cross into the United States.

Why don't they just stay in Canada?

Because Canada will actually deport them because Canadians are heartless white supremacists.

Very on brand for this sub. I truly believe some of you would literally burn money if you thought it would annoy a Masshole.

The last time I went to Canada (with my Hispanic cousin) we were stopped at the border, forced to park and go inside where they interrogated us about our life history and looked through our car.

On the way back I told the US border agent that we bought a coffee mug with Jim Morrison on it. He laughed and waved us through.

The difference between the two attitudes was embarrassing.

Clearly you from MA 😂. That’s actually a quote from a landlord I had living in MA, he said he will accept me renting his property purely off the fact I was from NH and not MA scum

Very good and valid points. I went through the Leb school district not too long ago and even though we had decent programs, there were still flaws and things that should be changed or added. I was fortunate enough to be selected to go to the Hartford VT votech school in my junior and senior years but out of the 10 or so classes there, only 2 students from each school in the region can attend. This should be open to any if not all students which would be a stretch due to the lack of teachers, but it brings real world skills of the workplace and trade world to students and gives them the choice to choose a path that they have interest in rather than beat them to death with the college route stick. Learned how to talk to random people with respect, give good handshakes, think outside the box in situations where we may have forgotten a piece of equipment or the weather changed, and learned how to present ourselves properly in the community without being puppets or having sticks up our ass. Also learned a lot about the environment and the practices that we should be taking as both communities and states and the vast inaccuracies the media spreads.

For the sex ed programs, we had sex ed classes in 5th grade which were pretty informative and straight forward, then in 8th grade we had half a year of home ec which included a week of contraceptives and parenting including the dreaded mechanical baby that was a good way to instill the use of contraceptives into our heads. Then another weeklong class in 10th grade which was pretty good also.

Another class we had in both 10th and 11th grade was a few weeks in our government class that had us look into our future careers, a group project into starting a business and finding out what we would need legally for that business and a few other minor things we did but nothing related to preparing us for financial readiness in the workforce via teach us the breakdown of taxes and the different terms, what number to claim for taxes on your wages, etc.

Now for the GAC bill, I agree with the bill to ban that kind of care in the form of procedures or medication to anyone under the age of 18 even with permission of the parents. Young adults, teens and kids are very susceptible to believing anything they are told especially from very 1 sided political parents on both sides. But allowing the opportunity for them or anyone to affect their natural growth and possibility of permeant unreversible changes to their body's is unethical and Stright up wrong. Once they or you are 18, go ahead and do whatever you want as longs as it doesn't affect me, my kids or anyone else lives negatively. We should apply more funding to bring more therapist and phycologists to schools and the communities so anyone can get the mental help they need and maybe realize the effect of certain apps, social medias and fads have on the young population and maybe put more funding to the research behind those effects or limiting them in the schools or the state. There's good reasons TikTok is being looked into and not being banned weather you believe them or not.

Social media and more specifically snapchat at the time when I was in HS definitely had an effect on myself and my friends in HS and I was lucky to not let it and FB control my life and feelings and friendships. Didn't care how many online friends I had, or how many likes I had on IG or how many snaps a day I was getting, we just lived our lives having fun camping, building things like redneck paddle boats or ice shanty's, launching fireworks around the fire, going to the beach or hiking on the many trials around the upper valley.

Sorry in advance for the rant, don't find comments that often I agree with on reddit, and I'm bored at work.

Whoops I mean…… New Hampshire is filled with racist and sexist . It’s a terrible state. Bread is illegal and sex is not allowed

your assuming i am a conservative which i am not. your idea is missing some very important facts, if we "tax the shi tout of corporations and billionaires" we will lose alot of them. there is nothing stopping a company or person from moving out of country. some already have. for example a few youtubers who make millions moved to another country for lower taxes and they now pay even less united states tax. companies with billions of dollars have no problem moving out if it gets bad for them.

How in the hell is teaching kids that transgender people deserve equal respect as cisgender people hateful? No one is forcing children to transition.

And don't give me some bible bullshit. Just as you have the freedom to exercise your religion, I have the freedom to be free from following your religion as well.

So your points are you like the bill because teens SHOULD be banned from any kind of gender affirming care but also public schools suck because....they don't teach kids how to do 1st aid or taxes.

You also have no idea how to fix schools other than "not going to deep" into some extra programs that will be funded by pixie dust and a couple thoughts a prayers I suppose?

Here's a better idea. We start taxing the shit out of corporations and billionaires and putting that money into education and healthcare. Then we pay teachers enough to survive raise the minimum wage so the kids on your team give a fuck about their jobs and we make college and housing more affordable?

Will do. Thank you so much.

Right! I've emailed as well and they respond 3 weeks later.. its amazing.

Also, their BS online payment system has a MAX payment of $600 PER DAY..... my bill is like $1000+ and I have to make several "scheduled" payments. Whomever sold them this portal can suck a fat one and also when emailing them to complain, they said "Send a Check then...." Total hot steaming pile of S**T

Fidum isn't available in my area.

They came and re did all the outdoor connections and it seems to have helped...for now

Sure. Initials are DW.

Thanks!

lol it does not have to go that deep, i agree with part of the bill, you don't and public schools suck. pretty simple. we could fix our problems with the amount of taxes we get hit with now.

Breezeline sucks. I had constant outages in the middle of the day. Worst service I've had in the state. I swapped to Fidium and it works great. Haven't had any issues since I swapped.

Oh ok now I'm starting to understand. You don't want schools to replace Math and Science with these things, you think they should enhance sex education and add self care to curriculums, take kids on numerous field trips to showcase different occupations every year, and devote a whole semester to 1st aid. That sounds really nice as long as we dont do the addition and subtraction on how much money all that would cost. And this bill is good because it will keep kids from taking hormones which they wouldn't need if schools were better? Or is it gonna generate more tax revenue to pay for field trips and higher teacher salaries so that they can raise kids right while their parents slave away on the sales floor?

Ive done several commutes.

Dover to Northeastern 2 days a week. Wasn't so bad because I could drive during off hours. Straight down 95 was free and clear til I hit the on-ramp to Storrow.

Kingston to financial district 5 days a week. I'd drive to Haverhill and take the commuter rail into north station then walk the mile to work. This took a real toll. Had to get the earliest train to make it to work on time. I'd be up at 5am and home by 9pm. Horrible.

Exeter to North Station on occasion. This is my current "commute" to Boston and it's so nice. More expensive ride and fewer time options but the train is very nice and the wifi works well enough. I don't really go into the office but I usually go this route for going to the airport or just going to see friends. (Saw you're going to Longwood. This is a tricky one cause you can definitely get the green line from north station down there but it'll take forever. Honestly if you only go a few times maybe see how an uber or taxi is, may or may not save you time? Hard to say...)

All in all, get yourself close to an Amtrak station if you're doing infrequent visits. Or, if you have easy parking, see if you can do some staggered hours to make the traffic easier to manage. Whatever you do, I'd recommend avoiding the drive on 93. Gross. :(
