  • It’s uplifting in the sense that it happening is better than it not happening.

    I would say it shouldn’t be uplifting news, because it’s only a fraction of what’s needed. 625,000 people should have recycled their own batteries. This is less than 1% of all the trash in the world. All the cleanup thats needed. Billions of cigerette butts just lining the streets of every country (except Japan).

    Do you have any idea how many people i see driving down the street, and a mcdonalds wrapper just flys out of their car? Those wrappers will remain intact for years. They’re not biodegradable. They float in the wind until they eventually land in the oceans.

    625,000 recycled batteries is great, and I want to hug this kid. I’m just saying if people were better people it wouldn’t have to be his problem.






  • I’m 41 now, but when I was a kid in school I was the quiet loner kid. And I changed schools every year because of a stupid “diversity” program.

    Anyways, this meant that on day 1, every year I’d get picked on. Not verbally. It was a rough school system. So every year at some point on day 1 I’d get a punch to the back of the head. And every time I’d respond by turning around and knocking the kid out. Then I’d grab my bag, and I’d walk away. For the rest of the year, I’d see them pick on other kids. Other kids wouldn’t fight back.

    Of coarse these days you got a different situation in schools. All these kids have camera phones, and encourage fights so they can upload the videos to youtube. Then they all run in packs of 20-30 kids. And you never know who has a gun anymore.

    When I decked a kid, I never thought it was about to be a 20 on 1 retaliation, or that I’d get shot. Never once ran through my mind. Now you can’t trust that to be true anymore. Those pussys at columbine started a trend. They couldn’t fight their bullys, so they went and got guns. And they didn’t even go to some ghetto school where it’s dangerous. They went to an upscale preppy school filled with the kind of “bullys” who tie their polo sweater around their waist because they might go golfing later. I came from schools where they were struggling at home for money to buy food, or crack, so they’d bully kids at school for it.

    So now these columbine kids go in, do some fucked up shit, and now we got 30 years of not knowing if the kid you’re fighting will come back tomorrow with a gun. When I fought kids, if you went to the ground, that was it. You lost. It’s over. It’s kinda like boxing, where the ref stops the fight.

    And if you lost, that’s it. You pick yourself up, and you move on. And if you won the fight, you stop. He’s fallen. It’s done. Don’t kick them when their down. This isn’t a beatdown. You won the fight, move on.






  • This is the part that made me give up. No amount of anything will make up for the fact that roughly 53% of voters wanted this, which is probably like 40% of the country. A country which has like 3.5 billionish people, and 40% want racism. They want to support the wealth gap because they’re too dumb to understand they’ll never be on the other side of the gap, and this is just renforcing it. They’re more than happy to hurt themselves if it means the OTHER people get dragged down with them. Which just makes them a tool for the rich to use the poor to destroy the poor.

    We’re alienating our allys, we’re destroying our country. We’re destroying the global economy, and this is just the start. The next 4 years this asshole gets to sit on his throne, and KNOW he’ll face no consequences. He’ll face no reprecussions for his actions for him and his little asshole buddies.

    I’m hurt. I’m tired. I’m in pain. I have no idea if I even HAVE medicaide anymore. They say it’s not cut off, but it was supposed to get cut off Feb 28th because of lack of state funding. I think the state itself doesn’t know. But worst of all, I have no hope. I have no logical plan for what comes next to work towards making a better tomorrow. Yesterday sucked. Today sucks. Tomorrow will suck by all indications. The GOP at this point are actively trying to destroy this country. I’m not proud to be american. I’m ashamed. I’m tired of appologizing to others for existing. And right now, if Canada decided to just atomic bomb us, I’d understand. Go ahead Canada. Take us out. We deserve it.
