Getting It Off My Chest

[Raven]

Honestly, I think it's always been pretty screwed up in the world. However, with 24/7 news, smart phones and social media we're more aware.

That's just my f*cked up negative outlook on life.

Forrest Gump is a fictional character. If you have the capacity for human emotion, or cognitive thought, then a traumatic event can possibly cause PTSD. A person who is mentally retarded still experiences fear, anger and sadness as a child might.

I've worked with developmentally disabled adults. To say your comment rubbed me the wrong way is putting it lightly.

If ignorance, stupidity, and hatred were energy that we could harness, we could run everything in the world. We've all been there at some time with those three things. Avoid those people at any cost or kill them; your choice.

Jar, that's a wonderful pro-active philosophy. For those of us who imagine ourselves to have moved somewhat beyond the raw emotion of those three conditions there is an alternative. (lol)

"Foretold is forewarned"

My PTSD group have invested in a simple means of derailing a situation heading for the shitter. We had some business cards made up for those occasions when the choices are simply "curtail or jail". Papa-Tango-Sierra-Delta is our nautical call sign.

I have had a little tine to digest this day. Reflecting back I'm usure what has irritated me more the remark about people with PTSD or the racist remark.

Personally I get the PTSD remark. I'm finding a lot of people who are not educated about it. It had been stereotyped by Hollywood.

As for the racist comment. That still hasnt sat well with me. Maybe because I have never understood racism. Where I live i see it a lot. And I can accept it as ignorance in the true meaning. But when I see intelligent people being racist I'm just dumbfounded.

Maybe its me. I was racially dumb. In HS we never had any people of different ethical backgrounds or races aside from Irish and Italians.

I just dont get it.

LOL... Nah. The Nazi's already tried. The best ignorance, stupidity, and hatred can manage is large parts of Europe.

I'm not on here because I wanna tip toe around and be sure not to hurt anyone's feelings. That's one thing do dislike about this site, some people are so damn sensitive. But I hold my tongue about it most days.

If anyone is offended by what I have to say on here, f*ck knows how you made in through your military career.

Do not expect an apology or a hug from me.

 

[Friday]

Sorry, CGF. Hug?

 

[Friday]

Seriously, though... I couldn't seem to get it through my ex's head that snickering and getting a beer = the same damn thing & hug-and-apology. But better. Because beer. Or sex. Sex is also a damn good apology. We just didn't speak the same language.

I didn't expect anything from you. I simply pointed out that you were wrong about something. I'm sorry that you're unused to people disagreeing with you on the internet.

 

[combatgoldfish]

I don't feel wrong at all. And I'll continue to explain whatever situation hypothetical or not, like that again and again and... again.

 

[Raven]

Wrong isn't a feeling, but whatever you say...

 

[combatgoldfish]

Out f*cking standing.
