[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I guess the legacy of Charlie Kirk will be "sure, disagree with me, but if you do you'll lose your job"[/quote]

Celebrating an innocent man being murdered isn't just disagreeing with someone.  It's disgusting and we should be doing better.  These lunatics losing their jobs is a GOOD thing for society.[/quote]

The pastor at Alfred Street Baptist wasn't celebrating his death at all. Yet according to a PP, he now has a target on his back.

According to a lot of people anyone that doesn't put Charlie Kirk on a pedestal is "celebrating his death". No, I don't care that he died and it certainly doesn't make me happy. But he was horrible. Unfortunately there are many more like him.[/quote]

Well unless you put out a tik tok talking about how happy you are that he died, I wouldn't worry.  The people who are losing their jobs are gleefully celebrating murder.  I think we can all agree that murder is a tragedy that shouldn't be celebrated or laughed about.[/quote]

People were showing happiness when the liberal Supreme Court justices died.

They were happy when George Floyd died.

And that is their right. Freedom of Speech.[/quote]

Here’s the thing with social media: context, intent and tone are MISSING.

[u]No one was actually happy Floyd died.[/u] 
But they posted that he was drugged up, in/out of jain, stole from the store, was about to drive away high in an SUV, had multiple children o it if wedlock, and ran from police / refused to get in their vehicle, threw his heavy body down, got restrained and died from some heart + drugs+ breathing issue. 
So some idiots posted all that online (cuz internet!) and said something flippant like “there you go, karma.” 
And then some more idiots posted the same or opposite and burned Kenosha and other cities to the ground, looting, arson, vandalism.

Same with the elderly death of a politician. McCain, RBG, others. 
No one is happy someone died.
But they cherry pick moments they didn’t like, flippantly post a Good Riddance, they’re crazy post (cuz, internet!), and both sides attack thay instead.

So.

What are we left with?

Can we get everyone in social media to not flippantly say “mean” stuff, that they don’t really mean or literally mean. They’re just mouthing off. Probably not.

Can we get people to have some judgment and understanding in the big picture or all the good, bad, ugly of a person or matter? Some of them, but this is a mature sense of empathy to see a view, note it, disagree and move on.

Can we get mentally on the cusp people or underdeveloped brain people to stop taking extreme social media opinions as gospel and get them more grounded in real life? A better rounded like? Adaptable and resilient to life’s ups and downs, meeting differing people, finding universal values? 
Sure hope so. [/quote]

According to this guy, y’all better ensure that you are in tip-top cardiovascular shape at all times - just in case you’re detained one day unexpectedly (or by mistake, which happens from time to time - be ready!) and an officer decides to use substantially more force than is necessary to detain you, effectively kneeling with their full body weight on your neck and throat for 15 minutes.

Everything else you said was idiotic, but I only devote time to one idiotic comment per day. Congrats![/quote]
