SELLING ITEMS, FINDING GUTTER WORK, AND POSTING ABOUT THIEVES

LEAVE IT TO BEAVER.jpg

(a found poem: comments from a conversation about a reported case of internet censorship @ nextdoordotcom}

Expressing something as "I have a problem with..." versus "Do this or I will call the cops on you..." will lead to very, very different discussions.

"Our mission is to provide a trusted platform where neighbors work together to build stronger, safer, happier communities, all over the world."

"Putting on a false narrative that we live in Mr. Rogers' neighborhood is not only off putting, it's flagrant propaganda."

"You are trying to rally people who are on nextdoor to sell items, find gutter work and post about thieves."

"Just because somebody has a differing opinion does not make them a bad person."

" I know where to have those conversations and where not to have them."

"Unfortunately this is not the America you or I grew up in anymore."

"I feel we can take this conversation to the messaging place."

"Perhaps we need to call an end to this thread."

"Why not have an all inclusive community?"

" Thin-skinned pansies” need love too!

" It's not a world of all or none."

"Wow, just wow."

Psychopathy is not a political position, whether labeled 'conservatism', 'centrism' or 'left'.

A tin labeled 'coffee' may be a can of worms or pathology identified by a lack of empathy/willingness to harm others to achieve personal desires.

@Ellen North
in prison who don't bother to tell jokes anymore, they just yell out the number that's been assigned to every joke, since they've all been told so many times.

i've often thought it would be nice to have a blog that functioned this way. someone writes, "Israel is the rightful homeland of the Jews. After all, everybody else has a homeland, so the Jews deserve one too," and then the next person just posts a link to the canonical thread in which the partisans talk past each other about the merits or not of Zionism, and nobody else pays any attention.

The earth is a multibillion-year-old sphere.
The Nazis killed millions of Jews.
On 9/11/01 a Boeing 757 (AA77) flew into the Pentagon.
AGCC is happening.
If you cannot accept these facts, I cannot fake an interest in any of your opinions.

It reminded me of this, which leaves me with tears running down my face from laughter every time I read it. If anyone needs to laugh at the absurdity of it all, it doesn’t get much better than this.
