I’m sorry but is there someone around you that usually helps you when you are talking to people?

So what if there was? Adding a backhanded jab that relies on treating special needs people like they’re less than capable of handling themselves and need someone else to do their talking as an insult is a real shitbag comment. If you want to resort to name calling don’t use the idea of special needs as making someone else lesser.

I love you for this. Thank you for calling that shit out. <3

    Wow, I hadn't heard of this.

    Twenty-year-old Kepari Leniata was stripped, tied up, doused in petrol and burned alive by relatives of a boy who had died following an illness in the city of Mount Hagen. The attackers claimed Kepari had caused the boy’s death through sorcery.

    Apparently it wasn't an isolated incident, either.

    Amnesty International has received reports of girls as young as eight years old being attacked and accused of sorcery, and children being orphaned as a result of one or both their parents being killed after accusations of witchcraft.

    Aw, yay!! That makes me happy. :) You're so very welcome! I genuinely thank you for sharing that with me and for thanking me. It may be pathetic, but it made my shitty day. :)

    I love that band so much. They've been putting out great music for ages and should definitely be more popular. Kind of like a hard rock/metal Weird Al type of situation where the lyrics are often funny or silly, but the music is actually genuinely good and the musicians are pretty talented. They do both parodies and original songs. Plus, they tour a lot, have great live shows, and tickets are affordable. They also all seem like good dudes.

    Anywho, I'll stop rambling and leave you with a link to another of my favorites of theirs, in case you may be interested. It's called 'Because Boobs,' and you'll never guess what it's about!

    I hope you have a great day/night, fellow Bruce Campbell enjoyer! :)
