Ignorance is bliss.

yes you know that very well

classing I am rubber you are glue play there.

Anyway going back to mafald, don't listen to this guy. you can think for yourself you don't need him to turn things into a dark and grim place

and you, mercy, should be more respectful. you've been disrespectful to me and i've said nothing about it but i'm getting quite tired of it

You tell people to think for themselves but also tell them what to do. Truely you are not contradictory at all.

i told him to think for himself is that horrible?

"Think for youself but dont listen to that guy"

yeah when he thinks for himself he won't need to listen to you

oh please get off your high horse and soap box, you have been demeaning as well.

how so?

Go back to your happy echochamber

you've basically called me stupid by telling me i can't follow the conversation, you came after me yesterday because there was non news in the news section, which wasn't my fault

You were being hypocritical. If you want to hash this out talk it in DMs sure, otherwise stop walking into a conversation to stir shit and then act suprised.

quite honestly you're a shitty person to be around and to talk to and you might actually be the first person I block on this server since I've been here.

i talk about positivity and that makes you go into a rant

Both of you need to go calm down for a bit :/

quite sad really when you have such a horrible reaction to someone who just wants people to be calm

you want the opposite, you want people to suffer and be miserable

i'm blockin him, i'll let everyone else deal with him

Because I have had a full year of "Trump is gonna win! have hope!" "Things are gonna be okay and get better" and other empty words and im tired of people just spouting ignorant false hopes to people.

It is better to have hoped than to not have hoped. Sure, I feel let down as well in some regards, but I rather have hope.

Personally, I hate lies. I hate being lied to and liars. And when you tell a cancer patients family "Its gonna be okay, everything is gonna be fine." and they die thats crueler than just saying they have 2 weeks to live.

I hate lies as well. Some things we can't tell are lies or half truths until the time comes though

So better to quash them unless they can back it up. Everyone has been lied to enough already. We dont need people prepping more disapointments.

It isn't always good to quash things when you can't tell if they are true or not

No, but its better to prepare people for disappointment and have them be pleasantly surprised rather than slowly chip away at their morale with white lies.

If someone is only prepared for disappointment, why would they try to do anything? As they would only really fail until they get a desired outcome only nto realize it fell short of what they truly could have gotten?

Your making some big assumptions there.

Fact of the matter is dark days are ahead and tailoring all the news with a happy hopeful spin like they are some kind of millinial who needs their hand held is the reason we are in this mess.
Biden won. Biden will crash the economy by taking the lockdowns further than before.

imagine being able to say "i have faith" without someone jumping down your back

I have faith that God is in control. I hope for that to not happen. It may, but it hasn't happened yet.

oh no don't say those words, makes him angrier

@Meryl.140.15 I thought you muted me and were going to "Let other people deal with me?"

I think to should look to the old testament Kit. Everyone fails to remember how god let Jerusalem be conquered and destroyed at least 3 times and his people oppressed and enslaved. God can be in control, but even God has to abide by free will.

I remember yes

Everyone remembers David as that hero that slayed Goliath, but forget how he slept with another guys wife, got her pregnant and had the husband killed in battle to cover up his mistakes.

Because humans have sin yes

Humans are not perfect

Those were recorded in the Bible as warnings

Yes. So lets not pretend this is the golden age of Jerusalem. Persia and Babylon are on the horizon.
