This smile is a disgusting display of our isolationism in the world.

This makes makes violence against others seem funny.

This makes fun of people suffering from mental illnesses

Around 160,000 people died from the bombs we dropped on Japan during WWII. Need I say more?

And this allows people to get away with saying all sorts of offensive things on the forum without a care in the world. I am so disappointed with DU.
