Lord save us from all of these cowards who would commit mass suicide over fake news.

“When I think back on the depression era, WWWII and the hardshops suffered... it’s amazing what those who made it went through. Well into 1960s... then their own offspring heaped more insult upon their parents heads.”

******

My wife was born in another country and can remember times when she didn’t have enough to eat as a kid. That leaves a mark, a really good one or a really bad one. She has the good mark, amazing faith and gratitude.

To think this author is spending time today, over a latte, in emails and texts probably, waxing poetic and talking about this article, getting emotional responses from friends and colleges about how moved they were by it, sharing similar experiences.

It’s like a whole other world, a silly, pretend world.

A lot of people, when they have everything they need and don’t have to really work for it, will create drama to feel like their lives have purpose. Plenty of people with “mailbox money”, the people who are born never having to work, live lives that support that theory, I’ve seen.

At some point, I don’t know when, SANE people will get tired of constantly be told to be afraid and having their chains jerked.

Sheeple won’t.

So you had your parties in the past during cold and flu season with not regrets?

I had a wild birthday party in 1987. It was the drunk that got me sober. Talk about regrets. All was fine until I started getting flash backs. (Now I thank God for that awful night)

Totally agree with the premise of jabs causing problems, from personal health changes post-jabs.

Unhelpful gene therapy more accurate than vaccinated.

.....”Unhelpful gene therapy more accurate than vaccinate”.....

Yep, I think so as well. Was interesting hearing this family member speak about the various Dr.s opinions spoken among themselves. From Immunotherapists to Gynecologist's etc. It varied.....and these were specialists out of Pittsburgh noted for it's medical facilities. Although she spoke in terminology I didn't always understand it was sufficient to know these shots truly mess with a persons system in a bad way.....risky to say the least. Long term affects not on the table but doesn't look good.

“Could be the saddest story you read today.”

Sad? It was hilarious. An idiot leftard suffering is my happiness.

Pathetic snowflake. Maybe he shouldn’t be celebrating if he lives in this much fear.

Obviously, the man has also discarded his lower parts.

I think he may be on the ‘scale’.

The land is ripe with Autistics.
Some say it’s years of vaccinations.

I know a few.

My BIL is Aspergers for sure...well, by my diag as I am an auto mechanic anyway.

He does seem to lack self-awareness. I can’t tell if it’s autism or liberalism.

"Imagine a life so pathetic that one would think the reasons they cancelled their birthday party would be worth writing a story for publication."

Imagine a life so pathetic, you have to plan your own birthday party.
