I’ve seen some pretty gross things online, but this thing I saw this morning turned my stomach like nothing on the Daily Rotten ever did. I say this with no hyperbole. Seeing some gun nut on twitter proclaim he’s tired of being bullied by sob stories seriously made me feel ill.
Someone commented that “he must not have chidren in order to say that.” I’m 100% positive you don’t need to have kids in order to see what a fucked up thing it is to reduce the loss involved in school shootings to “sob stories.”
People only care about school shootings when it’s white kids. More teens die in Baltimore or Chicago in any given month than in a single shooting, but no one cares because they’re black.

So he can’t remember an empathetic “I hear you”? He has a low EQ and he can’t string together three syllables and eight letters. Is this when he became presidential?
Obama needs a teleprompter at major speaking events! What an maroon!
It's fine that Trump needs a note prompting him to perform empathy during a conversation! You lost, libs, get over it!
Pretty sure Obama didn't use a teleprompter for Town Hall Q&A. Why even bring that up? Oh right Andrew.
Is the sentiment wrong though. Should everything or anything in the bill of rights be subject to the feelings of children?
Or to protect a minority of children?
Should our entire legal and economic system be shaped to protect .001 % of white children?
Because that is where we are headed. Ban the porn to protect the kids. Ban the guns to protect the kids. Redo roads to protect the kids. Etc etc.

I’ve done this before. If I’m meeting with a team I’m leading, or any other such setting, any my primary purpose is to receive feedback, sometimes I’ll jot in the margin “you’re here to listen.” The temptation to spout off solutions can be quite strong, and the reminder helps. And there’s value in verbalizing that from time to time.
I never mentioned Obama. Someone’s awfully sensitive, though.

Oh that was four syllables
Well I wonder who the biggest offender of that these days isthe temptation to blurt out

The minute someone takes porn into a school and uses it to murder completely innocent, random people, yes IP. I do believe our entire legal and economic system should be reshaped. One could argue that the entire point of a legal and economic system is to protect the minority. The majority has no need of either, you see.
I'm pretty sure you don't have to be a country music fan in order to see what a fucked up thing it is to reduce the loss involved in the Las Vegas shootings to “sob stories.”

Have I made my point you myopic turd? Because I can go on. It's not just about kids. But I don't understand why people being extremely upset by the murder of a child upsets you so much.
