California governor Newsom vetoes bill to make free condoms available for high school students, citing cost
California Gov. Gavin Newsom has vetoed a bill that would have made free condoms available to all public high school students.
You're viewing a single thread.
I mean I do agree with the fact that the bill doesn't provide funding for the condoms just that the schools need to provide it. That sounds pretty dumb to me.
I mean but is there explicit funding for providing toilet paper?
I do think schools are under funded but that's a lousy reason imo
I don't have a strong opinion either way, but it does kind of make sense that loading an unfunded mandate on already under-funded public schools isn't the best way to come at this problem.
You mean? Or you say? What's the difference?
It's an American English thing. Sometimes to make a statement sound less intense, people start by saying "I mean." It's probably regional, but I'm not sure where people do and don't say it.
It's rather idiocy.
You came in here and misunderstood something and now you are calling everybody else idiots? Nobody else had a problem understanding what the comment meant except you.
As if you didn't come here and didn't misundertand something.
Or have you always been here, for eternity?
You seem to have a problem understanding English and that's okay. It's a stupid language sometimes. Just don't take it out on everybody else.
Yes, I seem to have it. But I don't have one
You seem to, because you do. You openly admitted to it in your first comment here.
Aren't you able to recognize me because you're yourself a pure idiot?
🤦 if you don't like it, you don't have to speak it. But if you don't understand - that's on you.
I mean, you're not actually commenting on the substance of the statement that was made, you're cherry picking a single word and calling it out like you've somehow refuted the whole argument. That sounds pretty dumb to me.
You mean? Or you say? And what's the difference? Can you mean something without saying? Or can you say something without meaning?
"mean" refers to "meaning", as in the definition, or understanding.
It is similar in use to ie, (id est, or that is). An explanation.
"Say" makes no sense in this context. Say is stating something, but he isn't stating, he is explaining.
What kind of idiot starts his very first sentence with "I mean"?
It’s a very common English idiom to start a sentence that way. Are you ignorant?
That's normal English phrasing. So... everyone in the English speaking world is the "kind of idiot" you refer to.
I mean a lot of people do actually speak like this where I live. It's a pretty regular way to start a sentence. No need to be rude...know what I mean?
