I think under those conditions it would be incredibly rare for someone like that to keep such ways of thinking to adulthood, and it’s another opportunity to learn how to help.

We do have treatment though, that’s education, strong communities, and access to healthcare.

As we are both talking in general, I think malice can be mended, but of course it really depends on what specifically.

I know very well that there are people who want death to those who don’t deserve it. I was so upset when I was having a conversersation with one such person, but I understand that they don’t know any better. Said person only watches Fox “news” and is so entrenched in that propaganda, that manufactured hatred, it may be easy to forget that these people are also being taken advantage of.

Do you see what I mean? Their ignorance allows malice to manifest.

Isn’t that par for the course for right wing folk? It also means that they can be treated, recover, and learn from their wrongdoings.

Was the latter portion of your reply directed at me? Why mention socks at all?

Those won’t save you unless they’re thick, and thick socks in the spring/summer doesn’t sound appealing.

It should’ve happened forever ago, but let’s keep the momentum to continue the fight!

My condolences, nobody deserves that. I worry about how that kid will grow up, being around such awful people like that. It may be a poor consolation, but I want to remind you that you aren’t alone.

Gee… I wonder why…

I’ve met some WS who weren’t outspoken about their beliefs, they were “smart” enough to not talk about their views when there would be obivous consequence, i.e work, family, partner, etc. Insidious blighters!

Now, quite frankly, I don’t know exactly how the UK or the rest of the world sees the US, so answering that is difficult…

A well put and very valid point you’ve made… Yeah, that’s definitely tough on many levels. I hope things get better for you and all of us.

I don’t want to support a company that treated their workers so poorly.

People like Joann are too comfortable being their worst selves, they don’t deserve to be in office or in any position of power.

Yep, things are dire.

These atrocites need to end, and we must be the reason.

This post really could use some commas.

Police don’t take anything seriously unless it’s to protect each other from legal consequences and or how they retailate to people hurting their feelings.
