Oh well, lets move on.



I'm not even that invested in this but reading your comments on it has been like watching my dad trying to rap. It's been that toe curling.

There's a thin line between right wing and flat ignorant

Maybe you're not right wing after all

There a people out there who don't get to decide whether or not it's boring, because these issues are a permanent fixture in their lives. By ignoring the issues you are perpetuating them.


If I don't find a subject interesting I don't find it interesting.

I can't just become a passionate proponent of something I find boring.

"I'm minding my own business" is met with "Your just as bad as the Far Right".

Lovely.

IMO, none of us get to decide if something is boring or not. It either is or it isn't, we can't change the fact that something might be exciting or boring to us personally. We are all a victim of our circumstance, which means we're all different. It's like food, you don't get to pick what foods you like, you taste them and your brain either tells you whether you don't like it or you do. Same with things being interesting or boring.


Now I will saying we do get to choose whether we ignore it or not, although that freedom of choice may be an illusion, but that's a whole other subject.

Trump has actually said/done two things I agree with the past three days :O

1. Daylight Saving Time should be the year-round standard instead of the stupid af standard time from the first Sunday of November to the second Sunday of March.
2. Grounding all Boeing 737 Max planes.

Daylight Saving is archaic and obsolete.

Agree with both

It's better to have the daylight in the afternoon.

And seriously, when China of all countries are taking the lead in grounding those planes, people need to sit up and pay attention

Absolute dog shit scumbags.

Things like this make me very angry. The punishment for burglaries such as this is nowhere near as severe as it should be.

These people are predators preying on the vulnerable in our society. They should be shot and thrown in the next rubbish cart for the landfill.

New Zealand showing America how to cover this. I still haven't found out the name of the shooter. I haven't stumbled across the video either.

The way it should be

Unfortunately the video is all over the web.

Once on the internet, always on the internet - especially in this day and age.
