I find this sentence from an AP article to be very bad grammer.

Friday, the NIH said in different facilities, it found small amounts of five improperly stored "select agents," pathogens that must be registered and kept only in certain highly regulated laboratories.

Now, don't ask me to diagram it. I had problems doing that back in school, let alone do it over 45 years later. Do they even teach diagramming now?

Hey, you kids, get off my lawn! Where is the remote? Where are my pants? Am I an old fart now?

I'm still trying to determine whether kids today are getting dumber, or if I am just getting more intolerant as I age.

I'm thinking it's both.

I don't see anything the least bit racist about the question or the discussion.

To prove it's not Go to the You Tube channel wherein the same question is posed to WHITE people.

http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/weird-news/how-long-go-80-miles-3927450

When Amber May asked her sister a simple maths question, she never expected the blonde beauty’s response to go viral.

But Laurel, 19, from East Belfast, has been making thousands of people laugh with her ditsy response.

And the recording of a day in the May household has been seen by almost 20,000 people on Facebook and YouTube.

Think you can do maths under pressure? Try the UsVsTh3m challenge.

Amber asked Laurel: “If I’m travelling from here to a location 80 miles away and I leave here at 2 o’clock and I travel at 80 miles per hour, what time will I arrive at my destination?

For some odd reason you are the only fool I feel the need to respond to , why would I consult him to do what I am more than capable of?

Tens of thousands spent? you sound foolish at best!

Ive been doing this long enough to know what "I" want , nor do I need to consult anyone on how to do what I do best , as for more power I achieved my goal.

Happy go lucky ****! Trust me, it works!! It's amazing the amount of crap you can just let go. Not a care in the world, no ****s given, nor received..

As for friends, maybe I use that term to loosely for some? I consider a friend as anyone that doesn't crawl under my skin, even after this I consider you a friend..! Your a cop, I'm a Foreman, we both have to deal with complete low life scum daily and stand our ground at all costs. This is supposed to be our escape from the madness, not another chapter of stress.

Don't need meds , and never have , as for taking it way too seriously , I find it ironic that one clown can spew his B.S. and when a response is given all of a sudden it's over the top! I don't need a bandwagon to agree with me , the two posts mentioned together suggest some straight up bs , funny in this country how certain people never see things for what they are! As for the friends comment , I wasn't referring to you.

Hypersensitivity topics gets you banned from this place. Most just won't say what they are thinking. I applaud those who do. If you can't deal with it, lay back or take a self imposed vacation.

Edjamacation will set you free and separated you from the rest. Just remember, it's self motivation, and desire to succeed that put you ahead of the rest.

This is just stupidity- it's the equivalent of me telling you you spent too much on any particular item you bought :eek:

IMHO he created his own build, it's 1 of 1 and looks bad ass! - whether he's happy or not or how much he spent is irrelevant.........

I gotta concur on this. ^ it would have been different if he asked for budget power and didn't heed the advice, but Roger chased his dream and came out shining with a beautiful, powerful build that's unique. Can't argue that at all.

Once again, I gotta agree. We, meaning all, shouldn't have to walk on ice and dance around subjects. Being a skinny guy I almost find it hilarious at the fat asses that hesitate at nothing with the skinny jokes that have zero effects on me, but I don't dare throw a fat joke back!!! What's up with that? Thankfully I work construction and VERY thick skin is handed to you day one, use it or go cry like a *****, choice is yours! I'll take option A and the pay check. :) I know how to dish it back.

Races... Never understood why there is so much PC about it when all this time I view us as earthlings. And yes, I equally pick on all. Sue me.

IMHO, it's PC AND social media that causes a lot of problems.

It's so easy just to type something and hit the "enter" key as opposed to looking someone eye to eye. And, no one knows if you're being dead on serious or joking. (Sorry, the use of LOL doesn't make everything "LOL". It's like saying, "with all due respect".)

Sure, someone who writes for the AP should use correct grammar. After all, that's their job. Quite a few of my managers over the years have told me the importance of not doing "stoopid stuff" when writing. (It's like posting nude photos; when it's out there, it's out there.)

I also learned a long time ago to stay away from politics, religion, and anything else (yes, even opinions on certain vehicles) that could cause an uproar on forums and/or social media.

Now, I write something, but I don't send it until I've reread it a few times.

Regarding emails, I'll save a draft, and read it the next day before sending. That allows me to calm down, relax, and consider the repercussions.

I, along with many others, will continue to use incorrect grammar and spelling. I'm just not going to get all caught up over the other stuff.

"Hello Paddy, but where is my husband? He went with you to the beer factory"
Paddy shook his head. "Ah Mrs McMillen, there was a terrible accident at the beer factory, your husband fell into a vat of Guinness stout and drowned"
Mrs McMillen starts crying. "Oh don't tell me that, did he at least go quickly?"
