CrowsNestMutineer posted:Above all else, the WBC crew are cowards. Sure, they might fly to Iraq, but do you really think they'd go outside Baghdad or the Iraqi Kurdistan Region? poo poo, they probably wouldn't even set foot outside the airport. More realistically, though, they'll probably just fail to do the various things that a US citizen has to do in order to travel to Iraq, and then shift all the blame. "Oh, of course we intended to go, but..." They always back out of promises. Like all the celebrity funerals they claim they will picket. Most of the time they never go. The only good news about the WBC is that a ton of younger members have left, including several of Shirley's own children. One of the top fanatic members, Meagan Phelps-Roper (Shirley's oldest daughter I believe), left a year or two ago.

I keep expecting my mom to share it on my timeline, since she loves all of the chain mail luck/money letters. People love that poo poo for some reason. Kind of like the "Let's see if we can share this picture across all 50 states!" posts.

also lol @ her trying to tear down the one trending topic that isn't totally depressing. sorry people were trying to have fun while other people were not having fun. check your white privilege, how dare you raise awareness about a terrible disease instead of just squawking at ferguson news reports that you can't or won't likely do anything about.

Speaking of the ice bucket challenge, one of the girls I never speak to has liked Buzzfeed's page so I'm inundated with posts from them, every single one going, "Shut it down! [Blank] has won! This is the best ALS ice bucket challenge I've ever seen!" So far, it's been Chris Pratt, Charlie Sheen, Britney Spears, Patrick Stewart, and now Benedict Cumberbatch (the last two were on the same day). There will continue to be ALS awareness videos, each of them "better". Stop saying that. gently caress you Buzzfeed.

Just thought it was some dumb meme. The important part is taking 30 seconds to talk about ALS and link donation sites in the video. Celebs that can afford to both donate a good amount and pour water on themselves is just funny to watch and I can't understand grumpy people complaining about it. Yeah it's annoying to get your Facebook feed or whatever flooded with videos, but come on, It'll pass and a big amount of money have been donated for a good cause.

It finally happened. And here's the rest of the text: quote:You won't recognize me. My name was Antonio West and I was the 13-month old child who was shot at point blank range by two teens who were attempting to rob my mother, who was also shot. A Grand Jury of my mommy's peers from Brunswick GA determined the teens who murdered me will not face the death penalty...too bad I was given a death sentence for being innocent and defenseless. This is my stepmother, someone I used to respect and admire for being a strong, intelligent woman. I have no idea if she was always a racist or if spending the last twenty years with my father did this to her, but I saw this this morning. She tried to argue with me that Trayvon was "a Thug, who smoke THE MARIJUANA" back when Trayvon was the big hot button on Facebook for racists to out themselves. I'm not sure why she shared it now, but it's probably because of what's happening in Ferguson, and also she's a racist old white lady.

It's almost as if people don't really understand why people are upset about the Trayvon Martin/Michael Brown shootings. It's not just because an unarmed young man was murdered. It's because there are no repercussion for the perpetrator (aka 'justice'). Every single one of those "WHITE PERSON KILLED BY THUG" is a story where some person is murdered, the criminal is caught, tried, and sentenced. There's no need for outcry because the system did it's loving job. drat.

It's like people think human beings have a finite amount of "care points" to spend on issues, and if you care a lot about one thing for a brief moment in your life, it means you literally cannot care about anything else. "Sorry, I spent all my care coins on ALS this week, go gently caress yourselves, people of Libya!"

GOTTA STAY FAI posted:The only thing they forgot was a big dancing pie chart showing that over half the donated money goes to administrative costs, fundraising, and advertising. That's just the reality of running a charity, especially a large one. It's arguable they could spend more money on research and relief for sufferers, but there are so many worse charities out there that operate for lovely reasons which have little to do with helping anyone but the administrators.

I like that the whole "But what about this kid" ignores that the murderers were arrested and charged within days of the shooting, and that the reason they didn't face the death penalty is because Georgia doesn't allow it for crimes committed by someone under the age 18 (one was 17, the other 15).
