30. in agreement that we shouldn't act like "them"

Sat Apr 18, 2020, 12:03 PM

Apr 2020

I've always been uncomfortable with the idea that we should mirror (or exceed?) our enemies. And I'm dismayed that certain people in our camp seem more than comfortable with climbing into the cesspool. "We go low .." May I also point out that I don't see where this man received his disfigurement is particularly relevant? So .. if he had been injured in an auto accident, or in a childhood prank .. then it would be OK to mock his impairment? Likewise .. (IMO) serving in uniform then does not armor or inure someone from otherwise being a total sh*theel or lower form of life .. for the remainder of their span here on earth. With respect.

(and I'm pretty sure you're not "sucha" woman)
