It's like this, I am allergic to shellfish, well more like shellfish people. Whenever I'm around them I get a headache and feel queasy.
Instead of the world coming closer together they are being driven farther apart. Some of this is being done intentionally by politicians and advertisers, other parts have more to do with pop culture. Society is becoming more bi-polar, or tri-polar, or even beyond. It's not just the liberals verses the conservative. Look at the stupid things they got going this month. Pride month? Like gay people need a special month? When gay people fly a rainbow flag outside what are they truly trying to accomplish? "Hey, look at me I'm gay"? Or "screw you, I'm here and I'm queer"? They are not trying to "fit in",and have "equal rights", they are saying they are going to rub their lifestyle in your face wether you like it or not.
Then we got the dumbest holiday ever invented aimed at people that don't work and want everything handed to them. Who ever came up with this "Juneteenth"?. That's not even a word and is even more make believe then Columbus day. Congress just wanted another paid day off. If it wasn't for slavery 90% of the black people wouldn't even exist in the United States. Why are they so fixed on the past? Why can't they assimilate? Why do 100 people get shot every year at "Juneteenth" celebrations. It's not bringing people closer together, it's making people say "hey look at me, I'm different from you"
I heard somewhere that after the so called "pandemic" people are associating less with classes other then their own. Maybe because people who work hard for their money don't appreciate freeloaders? Or is it more to do with driving people apart and pinning them against each other?
Someone mentioned all the people on Mingle, well I get plenty of hits everyday on my account, problem is they are all fakes, fake people don't post in the forums, well not often anyways. They still have profiles of people from 10 years ago, the number of people that are on this site long enough to realize there are forums is very limited. That along with the fact that every topic has already been covered a number of times makes it tough to come up with new content. I'm not big on social media but I've even noticed people don't comment on Fakebook like they used to either, and if people don't click on "like" for every post then people don't do it in return, or they drop the people. Maybe the forums should come up with a "like" button, and a "dislike" button also?
