The sooner, the better
Many of today’s children are growing up playing horribly violent video games, and are being educated on types of guns as they can often select their weapons of choice in their online role playing. Hollywood movies glorify guns, while the people who get paid to pretend they are someone else — “movie stars” — lament the evils of guns while not working. Our kids are being desensitized about using guns to kill people at early ages. Shouldn’t the video gaming industry and Hollywood be blamed and held accountable for helping create these killers much like some blame the NRA, the gun itself and gun manufacturers? Ban gun violence in video games. Ban gun violence in “entertainment.” The sooner, the better.
Homeless by choice
I agree that we need to stop supporting these drug addicts begging on the street corner. They are ungrateful pigs trashing our town. If they are homeless at all, it is by their choice. They are young and fully able to work, but choose drugs instead. Unfortunately, not everyone reads the TOTC, so they don’t hear us saying don’t give money to them. So maybe we should stand on the corner with them with our signs saying, “Don’t support the lazy drug addicts on this corner because they make more money than you.”
Shame on you
This is in response to the comment “They’re coming after us”: Shame on you for false misinformation. The IRS is not going after those of us making under 400k a year. Although, I personally feel anyone making over 200k should be in their audits. Of course, if you’re honest and truly don’t cheat your civic duty to our country and society to pay taxes like the rest of us, you’ll have nothing to worry about. Remember, paying your taxes is good for society. It’s what pays our veterans, Medicare, Social Security, local entities and those sworn to protect and serve, etc. Shame on those of you who make those false statements, or mislead, especially when you don’t provide detailed proof to support your statements. It’s only your false thinking. Shame on you.
Vent that hot air
Heat trapped in vehicles and anywhere needs an exit. Upon entering a vehicle, leave the door open until you can open a window or sunroof. Cool air from the AC needs to go into car. Vent that hot air by letting it out an open window.
Read the Bible
To all you pro-choice people who believes in abortion, I suggest you read the Bible which champions life. By the way, you pro-choice people are alive today because your mothers believed in life as a gift from God.
