I personally am kind and decent but I have a gun too, I'm not an idiot. A coward dies a thousand times, but the valiant need taste of death but once. Fear cuts deeper than swords. #Notmypresident. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 71121754 United States 09/27/2019 01:51 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Not to knock that WW1 sniper analogy, but a true story from WW2.. a British pilot was shot down & parachuted onto Hitler's Eagle's Nest (his private fortified retreat). The man had his airman's pistol & was within shooting distance of Hitler while he ate breakfast. For whatever reason, the pilot chose not to shoot him & surrendered to the German guards. |

He had a role to play yet, don't be so quick to deal out death and judgement, Gandalf said. Not even the very wise know what's going to happen next. Wise thoughts.

Black youths/teens helping bullied white kid with a slur/autism. See? Dem boys iz good..dey did sumthin! Just like watching the nightly world news at 6:30.

I'm not trying to paint these kids as frauds..but ask yourselves how they're on Ellen. |

This is a superstition that began with a humorous comment. However, showing our good deeds for recognition negates their grace since they are no longer selfless in nature. Quoting: For The Love Of very true If you brag about it that's the only reward you're going to get. am I bragging? do you see me bragging? you must know about bragging. It is not even a word I use. ffs |
