Mitch and Rafael are faux praying, Margo is clapping. Margo is a piece of shit that stands out even in this group since she in-person harassed David Hogg (he was one of the children at Stoneman Douglas).

I don't know if those drawings were supposed to look like they were from out of a children's book, but they really do and that makes it even more appropriate.

They give me old school ‘stories to tell in the dark’ vibes.

Best we can do is ak pins.

Get gud.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Or a dose of thoughts and prayers.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Thoughts and prayers ran out. All we have left is taunting.

Telling them to get over it the next day.

We should wear AK pins whenever one of the Repub terrorists they radicalized goes after one of their presidential candidates.

Sorry, death and PTSD are classic American educational values

Sorry, it's just a way of life

Good luck with that kids.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago (3 children)

Kids find reason to skip school. News at 11.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

Yeah fuck these kids for trying to checks notes stay alive?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

Fucking kids? Weird.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Wow are you cynical.

I walked out of class in middle school to protest the 1991 Gulf War. It was during band, which I really enjoyed. I did it anyway.

I think if I was willing to leave one of the few classes I really liked and get punished for it, which I was- Saturday school, because I was against something that didn't even affect me personally, I think these kids might just feel like what happened to them or could happen to them is a fucking massive problem and nothing is being done about it.

Wow are you cynical.

If this ain't someone tossing rocks in a glass house I don't know what is.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (2 children)

And yet I'm not the one who suggested these kids are just doing this to get out of school.

My cynicism is directed at people who do bad things.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I think we're talking to someone who can only gain self-esteem by being rude to others.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

At what point was I rude? When I called out the most cynical person on these forums for calling me cynical?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I'm more of an equal opportunity cynical guy.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Okay, well good luck being cynical about kids protesting gun violence right after a school shooting near them or even in their school.

I suppose all those protesting parents of kids killed at places like Sandy Hook and Uvalde are just in it for the money or something?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Okay. I will continue being cynical about kids skipping school.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

I thought you said your cynicism was equal opportunity.

Shouldn't you be accusing those Uvalde parents of just using an excuse to get out of work? Is there a difference?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

No see my cynicism there is quite different. I'd be mostly wondering how many of them drove there while texting and distracted while totally doing everything they can to save lives.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

I guess your cynicism isn't equal opportunity then. Either people only protest to get out of things or they don't. Kids are not some special case when adults want to get out of work as much as they want to get out of school.

Some kind of entity with shits posts gets blocked. No more news because they have nothing new to say.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I mean if shit posts are the bar then this place is going to dry up even quicker than it already has.

Not aggregating adolescents and children all into one place every day would be a good place to start.
