This is a serious subject, so I don’t want to sound too flippant.

But this year the “cide” that has featured itself in my thoughts is not suicide.

Yep. There’s a lot of pent up rage that is directed outwardly not inwardly.

I’ve got a long mental list of persons whom I think deserve to fry for what they’ve done to this country, particularly via this scandemic.

Recently went to a funeral for a 42 year old father who committed suicide. Left behind a lovely wife and two beautiful children, 11 and 9. He was on anti-depressant medicine.

The lockdowns etc are expected to cause an additional 235,000 suicides this year, in addition to yearly averages.

Hint: that is more than covid.

They need to consider there are things worse than suicide like when it fails and your confined to a bed for life.

Never let the voices win they are the weak ones.

How very compassionate of you.

It needs saying and I said it. I do not apologize either.

He said that “what we do in life echoes in eternity”.

What I did in my life is more like a fart in the wilderness.

If the dam breaks open many years too soon I could see myself going perhaps homicidal.

I've got to stay off of Twitter.

Videos like this one (Soy-fed Antifa homos slashing people's tires who are trying to pass through the roads they've blocked) and my blood pressure shoots through the roof.

So help me God, if I ever get terminal cancer, I'm gonna turn into Charles Bronson and just start shooting these people.

That lispy, whiny voice in the video makes me want to punch his lights out.

What I said needed to be said too. You are heartless, as the discussion is about people who are so troubled they choose death over life. But you want to conflate that with the political is misguided and misses the point. I guess you never heard the phrase “there goes I but for the grace of God.”

How many people took one last leap on Black Friday? How many disappeared and never resurfaced in the Depression? How many are facing financial harm they can never recover from after this current disaster and see no hope of recovery because of evil bureaucrats who are picking winners and losers?

Your lack of consideration and compassion for others who are hurting speaks on your values, not on how they are trying to survive. Maybe getting off your posterior and actually helping another person might, oh I dunno, inspire someone to actually not be a little delicate pansy during a financial meltdown to rival 1929 & 1932.
