Where's my America?

[Virginia Mom]

I just heard a tidbit on this mornings news about 'empathy tents' being set up at Berkeley. They're set up in times of trouble or expected strife and woes. These tents are there for the folks full of angst, nervous twitters, depression or just upset a lil bit. You can get a soothing shoulder massage and a bag of goodies with a real sweet note inside.

Are you fucking kidding me?

These aren't first aid tents at an event or on a schoolyard playground, these are for supposedly grown ass people to come get a widdle hug when the world is getting you down. Like your shoelaces just aren't quite the right color.

This really dismays me... among other maniacal and devious crap going on, it sends a terrible message to the younger generation. The people that offer safety pins on their clothing to signal they're a 'safe' person to speak with is they think just like you and won't distress you with 'hate speech' that boils down to anything they don't want to talk about or questions about why they belief what they belief. It infuriates them when they can't come up with answers to simple questions.

No more do you hear the phrases 'get over it' or buck the fuck up' No, now we have huge blocks of people believing they have the only right to free speech. The rest of us get free speech when it matches theirs. This has been true for awhile but it's never been this bad, this blatant and in your face as now. Now we have people starting fires, breaking windows, assaulting people that dare have different ideas as them.

My mom was a democrat, my dad a republican. I loved when some of their friends would be visiting and they'd sometimes get into a wonderful political debate.

That's what it was. Discussion about what was going on in a peaceful but sometimes firey talk. Discussion with people with opposing viewpoints. Can you imagine?

The lunatic left is destroying my country with their vile, disgusting and immature behavior and I despise them for it.

You can't discuss anything or resolve any problems with them so they can all go pound sand as far as I'm concerned

The millennial chilluns is takin' over everywhere. And they want lots of free stuff including college from Bernie.

That's funny, all my millennial kids have jobs and support themselves..

Mine does too, but he became a Marine first, and no one had a safety pin on their uniform.

My eldest went in the Air force, broke a tradition of Army service back to the Civil War in our family..

Sorry about the tradition being broken, but I bet you're very proud oh him! Thanks to all of you for serving.

You see a very tiny group of people doing something and equate it to the apocalypse. Hyperbole.

Count up all the people using your 'tents of terror' or whatever it is you want to call them and compare that number to 320 million. You'll see the worms are eating into your brain for no reason.

You are losing your shit because some people like to hug. Does that seem rational to you?

I seldom lose my shit and damn sure ain't going to over some hugs. Hug a rabid badger for all I give a fuck.

See not so hard. It's a tiny group of people that are doing this not the grand tour of the population. Relax.

Maybe because the median income has not grown much at all since the 1980's , but the millionaire and billionaire club has.

Every country is doing bad, there is no growth anywhere , just maintaining and hanging on by a thread. The elites make their money in hedge funds, a legalized form of gambling and the poorer go to casinos and lottery lines.

Who is the greedy bunch here, what do the students in colleges see for their future, polluted earth, slave labor, unless one is lucky enough to be born into the upper middle income or above.

Work is something everyone needs and most want to work, but where are the jobs?? Automation has taken many US jobs,

and that is why Bill Gates said we need to tax robots.

Now Paul Ryans want to take away health insurance. Have you seen the new tax plan. Its blatantly saying F...K Y..U to the working people. Giving workers pennies and the rich millions in tax savings.

What do you expect from the college people.

If this country were as bad as you say it is, we wouldn't be discussing building a wall to keep people out.

When snowflakes rule the world, the world needs a network of safe spaces and empathy tents to prevent an avalanche of meltdowns.

The left did not ruin the world technology did and over protective parenting. All the next generation has done all of thier lives is left swipe and right swipe. No paddle in the schools. No paddle at home. The teen agers realized that parents had no power. So chores and skills did not get learned.This happened in both democrat and republican homes. I see people my age who grew up different text each other across the room for hours instead of talking and ignore the people that were right beside them. It has not just goten our children it has gottn us. Mannors have gone out the door. All of a sudden every one has a big mouth on line. Where as before you needed some mannors or you would chew on a knuckle sandwich. Every thing became about proffit instead of quality and public good. Confidence comes from experience and if you have no experience you have no confidence. No confidence and you have no ability to cope. So put your fucking phones down and fill that hand with a tool of work or pleasure and start learning some skills other than left swipe and right swipe. When that happens we can likely put away the coping tents!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good post, evenflow1969.
