Bernie's would say he annoys his classmates because he is so serious all the time and repeats the same old things over and over.

Bernard receives an F in History because he submitted a candy wrapper for the term project.

Bernard has difficulties with personal space and persists in poking at his classmates with his index finger.

Bernard needs to improve his "taking turns" skills.

Bernard tends to talk over the teacher, but we are concerned because he tends to say the same phrases over and over.

Bernard does not play well with others. He yells for others to join him in complicated games on the playground, then does not tell them the rules of how the game is played. Subsequently, he berates them for not playing his game correctly.

Bernard gets an F for homework.

when men do it they are lauded. there is much academic research on this.

i am surprised that you are sharing what is ultimately a very sexist joke.

and her being a senator and a secretary of state is not an achievement, because you know so many people have done both.

Hurt her.

I cannot tell you how many women that I have talked to that are voting for Hillary Clinton and I ask them why, their reply is, "ir's time for a woman". PERIOD. That is where they stop. No further explanations. If that isn't sexist than I don't know what is.

Elizabeth Warren would have made an understandable choice. She actually has excellent qualifications that were earned. The only thing that Hillary Clinton came close to earning was being elected to the Senate for New York. Secretary of State was just a peace offering from President Obama.

She cut a deal with Coca Cola and Hostess to place subliminal advertisements around the school. a portion of the funds were placed in the schools general fund and the remainder were credited to Clintons lunch account.

That was in Clintons first week of first grade. Ambitious women scare the shit out of some people. Even more so when Clinton was in the first grade.
