No, you have just lived a sheltered life and not been exposed to true humanity.

Travel some around the world, and you will be shocked at how cheap life is in most of the world.

I have been in DCUM for 13 years and…

It hasn’t really changed much. The rest of society, maybe, this website, nope.

yeah even on this forum, you can just ask a question and people would call you mentally ill or bring you down.

I kinda agree w/this.

I personally think people have been mean forever but now that we have a mean President that so many people voted for (by a landslide even) that people think it is acceptable to be as mean as he is.

He refers to other people as scapegoats….in other words he likes to blame a certain group of people for society’s current issues which is just wrong.

Brings me to think of a time long ago….80 yrs ago when a certain political leader did the same thing.
He blamed a certain group of people for the then current issues and we all sadly know how that ended up.

Never again……🙁

If you’re a never Trumper I’d bet we have a lot in common. Unless you deny climate change😏

Love this

Thank you for supporting the food pantry.
My boyfriend shops and donates weekly to our local food pantry.

As you know there is great need.

We’ve also generously supported the State of Maryland food bank. The Maryland food bank works with Maryland farmers on both the eastern shore and western shore to ensure Marylanders in need get fresh in season produce.

Perdue Poultry also generously supports the Maryland Food Bank.

Climate issues are so behind the microplastics problem we have. That’s the one I need to know where people stand.

PP and I believe that besides undiagnosed/untreated mental illnesses legions of elderly slid into a precipitous cognitive decline during/around Covid. My elderly mom died from Covid complications and my significantly younger ILs spiraled into depression and cognitive impairment.

My MIL is someone who now has no patience in public and has become a complainer.

Sure. Like Bigfoot and the Lock Ness monster.

Dum dum. No credibility.
