I have no idea who any of these people are. It is safe to assume that neither of them are Metal.

"...Shawn Mendes and Khalid..."

Metal Now and Forever!
Shawn Mendes is one of the best young singers today.

Ronnie is a good one. Yngwie Malmsteen can also shred.
Communists using children to achieve their goals.
WTH? Where’s the barf alert/notice. Now who’s video will never ever have guns in them ever again?

1. Where are the "Santa Fe shooting survivors" pushing gun control? Where are the ones in the shooting before Parkland? Why is it seemingly this one that has this group of narcissists climbing over their classmates' bodies to get to the TV cameras?
2. I now get why so many foreigners openly despise American culture. What kind of F-ed up country do we live in that "school shooting survivors" become celebrities? Really redeems Paris Hilton and her sex tape.

And it was at that point that I had to hear the third or fourth out first justices, racism, and gun violence and all that it entails from the left side of their myths
And then Trump is a racist calling people animals across the border, despite my educating my friend that the news cut up what Trump said taking out a huge Schwab’s of content to create new context so the conversation started with me trying to repair the truth

Nothing improved from there even though I was able to point out that Trump was talking about MS-13 and their ilk Brothers it was at that point, the conversation change to another social justice Warrior commentary app, in which I was not going to be given the opportunity to express my opinion or illuminate facts and I realize something semicolon
My friend is drinking all this poison obsessively and I had to leave
I’m not going to allow this obsessive poisoning of the Mind Body Soul and Spirit to be visited upon me and disturb my peace paragraph are there bad things happening in the world? Yes
But I’m not going to obsess on them
They affect me in so far as I’m outraged that happened but, I do have the ability to compartmentalize and move on and trust in God and look at all the good things that are happening wrong in certain parts of the culture and this friend and their obsession and I can’t allow this in my life anymore
Sadly, there’s no one to help this person get a grip and celebrate all this good
And I can’t allow this in my life anymore
I also will not be around anybody who decides to change fax and accuse me of something that I didn’t do or say such as semicolon the kids at Sandy Hook were murdered
Only crackpots believe that and I happen to know one, who I have zero interest in associated0.
