    Though some people can be stupid enough to start supporting terrorism afterwards…

    I used to think the same thing. Then my company got United Healthcare Insurance. Now I’m questioning. Would I have been angry if Osama had attacked their board of directors? I’m not so sure.

      Evil conveniently never harms other evil things.

      I swear not a single (primary) country leader died during covid. Even fat kim jong-un somehow made it out alive. Granted it wasn’t a particularly lethal virus, but man it would have been satisfying to see some dictators kick the bucket.

        A virus cannot be evil, a virus is just a virus. But, I get your sentiment.

          Just look at the ages as you scroll down. They’re mostly all 70 plus, people that age are looking for an excuse to die.

        Odd how I’ve lost so many friends (in the mutiples of 10, dont care to count exactly)to an opiod crisis not worth doing anything effective about, but they blew the entire economy over a cold that hasn’t killed anyone I know in 4 provinces and 3 states (was a trucker, know people everywhere, lived in 3 provinces and one state). tHats aNEcdoTAl tHoUgH

            It fucking sucks. Yeah I used to like to party, but backed the hell off in like 2016 when it became clear everything was tainted. Been watching my old friends that wouldn’t/couldn’t, die ever since.
