What the hell is wrong with so many human beings? [View all]

We say that life is sacred. The most important thing. We pay a fortune to get educated. We pay a fortune to look beautiful, or to care for ourselves (doctors, dentists) - or on pharmaceuticals, or all manner of snake oil "health" products, or make up, or clothes.

Yet so many throw it away because an orange haired ignorant goon tells them to. So many throw caution to the wind and put themselves at risk and put others at risk.

Human beings ARE an oxymoron - with an emphasis on the moron.

We are witnessing recent months where it has to go down in history as some of the most blatant, stupid behavior possible by a so-called intelligent species. As one who lives in NC, it is just an utter embarrassment to have read about some of the bullshit being said and going on at the "open NC" type events....

We have far more bugs than features, it seems. I've never been so utterly disgusted with so many.
