Good comment.
These narrow minded people are the ones who blame all Muslims for 9/11 and cheer on waging war against nations who not only had nothing to do with it, but are enemies to the minority ideologies like Al-Qaeda and ISIS etc... They are the ones who get easily manipulated into thinking every Jew is in on a conspiracy and turn their backs when they are rounded up and sent to concentration camps. These are the people who shrug their shoulders when a million Christians in Armenia are killed by the Ottomans or when Jihadist groups in Syria do genocide on the Yazidi Christians because... well they deserve it... look what Christians did in history.
There's always a minority extremist group manipulating the poorly informed. Whether its Jihadists, Zionists or Christian groups like the Klan. Their objective is to get the masses to lash out at a race/religion.
All this applies to skin color as well. Almost all of the white people in the world banded together to fight the Nazis but if you are born with that skin pigment, you are held responsible. News flash folks, this is the root tool of one genocide after another in history. How can a new born baby with a certain skin pigment be responsible for what a minority of people did in history yet I hear it over and over from clueless people. - boonerbuck
all things considered, you raise a good point. - Pacificgem
I have a friend from my teens who was thrown out of his rich parents house in the 80's. They had a rule, go to school or work if he was to be supported. So instead he lived on the streets for a whole summer but couldn't handle Squat life in the winter and went home. They were rich American liberal immigrants from upstate NY. They owned a 2 million dollar house in Rosedale.
About 10 years ago we were reacquainted. I was excited to tell him I owned a piece of property with a house. It was a big deal for me etc... when he saw the house, he was blown away. He thought it would be this great big awesome house out in the mountains on some pristine property. I asked why the (frank) he came to that conclusion? Because how happy I was with it was his answer. I reminded him I was homeless for much of my teens. His reply was "I know Bro, so was I".
He honestly felt our situations were the same back then and he was poopting on how happy I was with what little I had now. He was on the street because he wanted to do nothing for what was given to him. I simply had no home to go to. His life was so tough he thought.
His parents still bail him out and the only reason is he insists on being a seasonal worker half the year and a world traveler the other half. He cant support that lifestyle on his own. Yet he thinks he's still not a spoiled rich brat.
No I'm not suggesting this is you. Just an example on two different perspectives.

At the time, 14 grand. But Me and my son got out alive, and thats what really matters. - WelfareWerewolf
I'll look back I pretty much still have the entire Alan Moore run.
I have JC's first app. as well. You had an Amazing Spidey #1? In what condition for 14K? That's a big book man...
True story though if you and your son are safe that's what matters.

Was in good condition, bagged and boxed (and graded)....think it made it burn faster. Had an offer for 10, but at the time it was worth 14. Thought it was gonna put my kids through college.
Just looked, 47 now. https://comics.gocollect.com/guide/view/124028
Stuff is just stuff. Tough life lesson. I appreciate and see things a bit different now.
(frank)in McFarlane Kiss action figures melted in the package, never enjoyed.
Enjoy your stuff.

Sounds like that you think that only one issue can be dealt with at a time.
Imagine hearing, "stop talking about property crime when we haven't solved all the murders." - RealityChecker
lol the world has many issues that will be ongoing for centuries regardless of what you and I think.
Imagine hearing, Let's shut down the planet for a flu strain that has a 99.99675000 survival rate. So we are going to do that every 6 months? As pressy said the Wuhan flu rages on...

you choose the most random tangents to embark on. White people are being vilified for being Nazis now?
That's like saying Martin Luther King was assassinated for brushing his teeth.

Imagine hearing, I'm not going to change any part of my day to day life to help my community because that's too much of an infringement on my freedom. I'm entitled!! to do what I want.
Oh wait... None of us has to imagine that. It's all around us.

Thanks for sharing that Boon👍🏻
Nice to see some people don’t take for granted what they have.

WTF?
It's insulting to be told your family who fought and died against the Nazis are guilty for what National Socialist Germany did because you share the same skin pigment as them. Thats the idealism that the Nazis used. An acceptable narrative today for some reason.
all things considered, you raise a good point.
