I faced the exact same situation earlier this year and didn't have the same response. My response was more along the lines of, "Yup, this sucks. How can I minimize the damage?" That was more or less it. It wasn't a big deal to me and I moved on with life.The differences in our views/ emotional responses to problems and conflicts are seen in virtually every situation we face. Many would associate the difference with resilience, which supposedly can be changed, but I don't think I've ever met someone who has sincerely been able to change their outlook. Do you know someone who has? How did they manage to change their mindset? less

Now the john of don is a white racist, white nationalist, authoritarian despot dictator who despises women, people of color, especially women who are African American. So how does GOD love a man who despises some of HIS creation? Someone is lying bigly. Either GOD only created whites and is a Fascist racist OR GOD created all of us and loves ALL OF US equally. OK y'all. Which is it? Since y'all speak for GOD all the time can you make up your mind and tell me what is behind CREATION? You can't have it both ways. It is EITHER/OR. less

If so how in the he** do they square believing in a GOD who despises them? That makes no sense. I gotta ask.

But it should be YOURS and often isn't because the parents are themselves obese and see nothing wrong with their kids being just like them. Again. None of my dam* business. Granted. Over and out.

Day after day after day the insults you fling get more and more vicious and numerous and less intelligible. Is this the way a normal reasonable intelligent person would prepare? Would you?

He is hitting back via tweets that make less and less sense than they ever did which is to say they were always GIBBERISH. SIGH.

Make sure the folks involved are meeting those requirements, being at the appointments in timely fashion, pick up orders and deliver things? It makes sense that what they do in the home translates to a paying job on the outside. Doesn't it? Does it?

Do you regularly tell the people in your life how much you appreciate and them and how grateful you are that they are in your lives? Do people you too? Shouldn't we spend time doing that rather than attacking insulting those we dislike?

Make people be VERY afraid and then convince them YOU are the only only who can protect them and you will own them body and soul futurely foreverly. That is what all fearmongers know. Do you know that too? Are you afraid? Of what/whom/why?

All these require is the word of someone they believe without question. How can folks accept anything without questioning it just because someone tells them it's true? Is that what you want your children to do? Why would you?

What they seek to believe is never uplifting or h opeful or helpful. It is always about destruction and conspiracy and evildoing in "the other". They take the word of liars over lack of evidence, proof or truth. Why is that so seductive and commanding and enticing? Living a life based on fear cannot possibly be anything but furtive and scary.

Among them, there were hundreds, maybe thousands of surnames, and now, decades later, almost every surname I hear either matches or is similar to someone I knew then.*News articles/reports, sports broadcasts, awards shows, reading literature, etc.Ok, your turn.
