I voted:

Filming a dead guy in a suicide forest and putting it on YouTube
shitty

Coolest Monkey in the Jungle
i didn't know what this was but it sounded cute and thus i assumed it was actually terrible. It's actually very underwhelming.

Happy Holidays
i picked this one because its funny

Dressing up as Madeleine McCann for Halloween
Didn't know about this one but i also thought it was funny. After seeing it, I still think it's funny.

Apple purposely slowing down older iPhones
VERY shitty even though I don't have an iPhone. This is the kind of thing there should be regulations against

I too have a Nuclear Button, but it is a much bigger & more powerful one than his
This would be too on the nose if this was a parody and yet here we are

What's your preferred pronoun?
I think this is the dumbest discussion whenever it comes up. Someone says "hey actually i actually use he/she/they" then just go with it. Who gives a shit what people want to use or why? That said actually asking for pronouns seems really shitty! "OH SORRY I CAN'T TELL WHAT THE FUCK YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE BUT I ASSUME IT'S SOMETHING UNINTUTIVE. CAN YOU TELL ME WHAT SPECIAL PRONOUNS YOU USE SO I CAN WIN SOME SJW POINTS???" Just use "they" if you can't tell and if the person cares i am SURE they will correct you

Kenya is a shithole
This is the worst discussion

Death from the flu
I don't want to die from the flu so i picked this

Mass shootings in the USA
I don't want to die from mass shootings so i picked this

Big game hunting
I don't want to die from big game hunting so i picked this

Worth noting about Logan Paul: He demonetized the video on upload, so he wasn't making anything off it.

He has also apologized. I really put it down to him being dumb rather than exploitative.

Eh, i don't think demonetizing that single video is a sign of any kind of good will when he's still pushing something like that to get views and subscriptions, leading to views on his other videos, which are monetized

plus its just shitty to show a suicide victim's dead body to millions

Destruction of Confederate monuments in Virgina - Destroying your own past doesn't right any of its wrongs, and you take away any lessons you could learn. Every historic monument on earth is a testament to a shittier time. Slaves fought to the death for entertainment in The Colosseum, knock it down! The Taj Mahal was built by slaves, get rid of it. Horatio Nelson supported slavery, knock Nelson's Column down! I guess people that can't create anything themselves can only look to destroy things instead.


The point is that the monuments being removed have nothing to do with the Civil War and were made in the 20s-60s out of cheap materials specifically to push against the Civil Rights movement. This isn't a memorial so much as it was a cracker "fuck you" to black people.

The reason I say cheap materials is because they are- these aren't the earlier marble or granite memorials, but really crappy concrete cheapies mass produced for sudden demand for people to have a "confederate" monument in town. There is literally 0 historical lesson in any of them.

Any decent ones get moved to a museum.

There is a huge historical lesson in them.

There is zero historical lesson in them. Zero people have gone "Hey, wow, look at this statue of Stonewall Jackson! Let me find out about why it was put up!" only to learn that it was put up by racists who were fighting against Civil Rights. Statues aren't for lessons, they are memorials. You put them up to honor people, not for a history lesson. Otherwise, I recommend building a huge Quantrill statue in Lawrence to teach people the history of that town. I'm sure they'll love it! Also, we need a huge Sherman statue in Atlanta so they can learn all about him.

Wait- you say that people in those towns don't want these statues? Why not, if they are only for historical lessons? After all, don't Atlanta people deserve to be reminded about Sherman's March to the Sea lest they forget history? Won't people totally forget it happened otherwise?

I just saw the tide pod thing on the news tonight. I actually saw some piss ignorant lady saying they need to make them look less appetizing and make the detergent less powerful so kids wouldn't die when they ate them. How about you watch your fucking kids instead?

Thinking back, We did plenty of stupid stuff as kids, but were more proactive when it came to defying death. Jumping bicycles off the garage, climbing up buildings, walnut fights, bb gun wars, homemade explosives, motorcycle stunts, bottlerocket wars, street racing, bumper tag, doing things just to get the cops to chase us, etc...

Maybe I was a little harsh on the tide kids.

Taking a knee during the National Anthem
I don't see why whether you taking the knee/or standing should mean anything so it doesn't concern me.

Filming a dead guy in a suicide forest and putting it on YouTube
Highly inappropiate, but it doesn't concern me.

Coolest Monkey in the Jungle
Is this the monkey selfie? Whatever it is it doesn't concern me.

Happy Holidays
No, words don't concern me.

Dressing up as Madeleine McCann for Halloween
You should be allowed to dress up as whoever this is. It's just a costume.

Sexual allegations in Hollywood
Sexual allegations does not concern me.

Apple purposely slowing down older iPhones
I don't buy Apple anymore so this doesn't concern me.

I too have a Nuclear Button, but it is a much bigger & more powerful one than his
This concerns me, because I don't want people to fire nukes. You should never fire nukes.

What's your preferred pronoun?
It's a bit confusing, but it doesn't concern me.

Destruction of Confederate monuments in Virgina
Destroying historical monuments is not something I'm in favor of/and concerns me. I would support taking them down if necessary, but destroying history is bad imo.

Kenya is a shithole
I have never been to Kenya.

California legalizes recreational marijuana
I think it's outlawed here, but if it's helpful for medical use I'm in favor of it.

Death from the flu
I'm not going to die from that so no.

Teenagers eating Tide pods
I don't even know what's going on here.

Mass shootings in the USA
I don't want to be shot in the face and die just for picking the wrong place to tour as a tourist.

Big game hunting
Not sure what this is either.

Lots of statue talk, lots to think about.

I could have misunderstood the Sexual Allegations option. I'm obviously against sexual assaults/rape.
