It’s becoming clear that the laws in this country are being set by criminals like this through manipulation of the courts and laws in this country, and lawyers concocting unethical arguments that they know are wrong, but use technicalities to eschew any guilt. The whole thing stinks, if the courts worked how they told us they worked we would be in a totally different situation, but the courts are a fucking circus full of clowns

Great, get a good grip around it’s neck.

Thank you for acknowledging it and for sharing your experience, I really am. We’re all flawed humans of course. I’m glad that you have been able to work on yourself in that regard as well, I think overall we’re all a bit guilty of it at some point, sometimes people just want to get into a fight to prove something to themselves or someone or the world and it has nothing to do with what they are saying. I’ve found I have a very low confidence in myself and as such I was always trying to prove something. Now I am much happier with the person I am and I have nothing to prove to anyone. I just need to work on letting go of some past tensions and old habits. But again, don’t we all.

Yes I know I’ve been an asshole in the past and I fully admit to that, I’ve mentioned it several times and it’s in my profile as well. I am trying to be more hopeful, positive, and have better interactions, as such, I’m trying to avoid negative interactions. I am sorry if I was a jerk to you. I’m working on it.

I see, thank you, I do admit I’m not super knowledgeable about that. That makes sense, what I was trying to get at before was that it didn’t seem like Islam had such a thing. I know that holy wars have been going on for centuries and the current ones aren’t anything new just different circumstances. I wish religions could live together in peace and I don’t see how obliterating each other helps anyone’s cause. The people fighting wars in the name of religion are all just bastardizations anyways, most people are just trying to get by and want peace. That goes for everyone of course.

I just hope others are doing the same and then maybe we can have a bit more of an open discussion without people have a fear of people jumping down their throats for opening their mouths.

I know the feeling, I spent way too much time before with that then I realize, I don’t want to do this, why am I defending myself so much all the time against angry people who don’t know me and are missing my point? I don’t even like to argue. Sometimes it feels like Lemmy/Piefed is some kind of psy op to make the left into intolerant assholes as much as the right.

Why are you so angry and judgy? Why would I want to talk to you about anything? No thanks.

That is great, I would love to see similar movements in the Evangelical and Baptist faiths here. What about Islam who is moderating that?

You’re definitely right about that. I have to say I like what this Pope is saying, shame they barely listen to him. But that’s Catholics I guess, still.

It’s very difficult to progress as a nation when you have millions of people who refuse to enter the 21st century.

Keep going, my Ryzen 5 5600X will be cool again :)

Yeah I’m sorry, sometimes I feel like the only replies I get here are people arguing with me :( I don’t even like to argue I just like to share view points but everyone is so aggro.

All I am saying is not everyone has a reason to celebrate and people that don’t celebrate shouldn’t be looked at as less patriotic, it’s not compulsory to light fireworks out of my asshole on the fourth fun as it is.

The circumstances that everyone had the same freedoms all those 250 years? Certainly in that case.

Half milestones are kinda tacky anyways, but I suppose that fits. 250 who cares. I’m sure a lot of people would rather not celebrate most of those years.

Lots of hope honestly I suppose, still, somehow. Working on music, spacing out to music, reading, cycling, basking in the sun or staring at the clouds, watching what the animals are doing, a bit jealous of their simple life, cooking up a good meal, psychedelics (though not so much lately), weed, gratitude everyday.
