Your family raised you right.

I agree with a lot of people who disagree with you and your sentiment. But don't stop.

At the end of the day we're stuck on this planet together. Regardless how much of a d!ck someone is in real life, you don't have to sink to their level.

As much as I dislike Mitch, I have to feel for all of his close family members who must be concerned for his health this evening. I might not care about that turtle, but that doesn't mean I don't feel bad for his family who saw their loved one experience a stroke on live television.

all humans deserve sympathy to an extent. we dont choose to be dropped into whatever environments shape our psyche... until later.

there are absolutely humans who have wreaked so much havoc on the rest of us, they do not deserve our ongoing sympathy, they not only do not deserve it, they have lost whatever humanity they were born with.

mitch is one of those people.

we need to turn our backs on people like this, not continually elect them 'because its just politics'
