The strange thing about thoughts and prayers is...

[LuckyCharms]

Many (not all) of the people that say/type "thought and prayers"...they say/type it and then go eat a hotdog, scratch their ass, and don't spare a thought or say a prayer. They never said a fucking prayer in their lives.

7. If they really do take time to say prayers or send thoughts

the end result would be exactly the same. I suspect they know this perfectly well.

8. No matter; we all know how much thoughts and prayers helped

After Sandy Hook, Orlando, Virginia Tech, San Bernadino, Ft. Hood. Etc. etc.

I blew up today at a woman who lives in my building who said "all we can do is pray." I'm so angry at this shit I'm about to pop an artery.

10. Hey! Puerto Rico.

Even if we only continued arguing, at least it'd still be in mind, right? Maybe there's something in here.

Or maybe we can agree there's something very wrong in its virtual disappearance from the media in favor of wall to wall coverage of a dead gunman, dead people, and injured being cared for?
