Good teachers can absolutely stop bullying . There are too few good teachers . <| sep |> Fuck your feelings . <| sep |> She was lookin ' rough on Dr . Phil the other day . <| sep |> I have this same issue . Please upvote so this can get some visibility . Not sure if the Xbox team is aware , but this makes finding and joining groups to play all these new games terribly difficult . <| sep |> Seriously . Who says y ' all ? <| sep |> Really ? Which ones are backed by video evidence , and which ones have people getting arrested for false claims ? <| sep |> I think if you are having thoughts like that and they can help , then it may be worth a try .

A Freedom Medal acknowledges an especially meritorious contribution to the security or national interests of the United States , world peace , cultural or other significant public or private endeavors . I ' ve provided you a list that shows the people you are asking to receive the reward have already done so and my point is that it is an award for distinction for many different facets of American life .

It ' s a tragedy to be sure but his legacy had already been made at that point .
