what if it was some little cute photo trivializing racism? Would you still claim that: "ahhh it's fine! It's not even graphic, a lot of people have experienced racism so it's fine if they wanna make a joke of it"

I'm personally fine and can sustain a lot but when you guys start claiming bigotry at the drop of a hat and have no qualms whatosever with something like this it just makes all of your other passion ring hollow and empty.

asking if someone has Down's Syndrome you think that's a fucking joke and how dare they be offended, but you're offended at this? give me a fucking break you hypocrite

I'm not triggered by it so no, not changing it.

I'm sorry but I'm starting to feel like Holden Caufield around here. I know I'm far from perfect: but the stuff and insults I've been peppered with lately when other people who are unaware, doing so much worse than whatever they're mad at me for just pisses me off.

there's a line that shouldn't be crossed, and racism is one of them. i don't believe a jokey anime photo of bleeding into brownie batter or whatever goes near the line. you are free to disagree.

You don't rly care. U just trying to manipulate

You think my pet being killed is :rofl:

You're holden caulfield loooooooll yeah sure

I actually did find that photo to be off-putting. But I take pride in my strength, so if you weren't belittling me for days than no, I probably wouldn't have said anything.

But I did so to say "hey wait, you're making all sorts of accusations towards me and then you're flaunting that around"

He was joking about a cat killing a rat.

Are you outraged at the premise of Tom and Jerry too?

Gimme a break Bonnie.

look man, people are no doubt redirect some anger towards you because of the whole election thing but when you are so proud about Trump when people are so scared and upset over him, it is natural. you defend a lot of shit that's indefensible. maybe doing some thinking about that would be good

The caul metaphor is at least a little applicable, though, isn't it?

one of her other pets just died and you know that

and he wasn't joking about a cat killing a rat, it was HER cat killing HER rat there's a fucking difference

stop being insensitive fuzzy.

Yeah because my actual pets are just like a cartoon

Yeah, We live in divided times for sure. There's 2 extreme viewpoints colliding with one another. The only problem is 95% of the Trump anxiety is overblown sensationalism. It really isn't based in fact.

All i ask is that people relax, quit the insults, and give the man a chance.

Take a deep breath. The world sustained 8 years under FUCKING George W Bush and Dick Cheney... We're gonna be okay... We're gonna be so much better than we would have been had Hillary Clinton won...

SO CHILL

Tie is on his way out. His heart is failing and he has edema. I did an hour of massage today which helped a little and he's been hanging out in my clothes as I move around the place. The only time he was back in his cage was when I went grocery shopping.

My dog just died and she sent me a private message ranting how she hopes my next dog dies a brutal death...

That's worse than simply clicking on a smiley face button.

you insulted her pets first, and have been saying constantly how rats are just pests and her rats are gross and etc etc etc

im not saying what she did was ideal but you're not some innocent smiley-hitting bystander

I'm sorry. This place just has me on edge along with some personal shit lately.

Trump winning the election was really something I felt deeply and powerful about and the attitudes around here can become sensational and aggravating and I think we should have a collective policy around here where politics are off the table for a month or so.

This Nazi talk is really inappropriate and people are being very vulgar and we just gotta take a collective deep breath and try to look at things rationally. Yes, I am in many ways pro-choice, but if the laws change then everyone will just have to practice safer sex. It's something people need to be doing anyways. If you're responsible, you won't need to get an abortion anyways.

you provoked that too you stupid bitch
