Starburger Member since: Dec 23, 2020 Threads: 6 Posts: 24 | Is that movements are fads where people are really riled up and then quickly move on with their lives and the movement is put on the back burner.. There was a Time magazine article where parents who lost children due to school shootings also made this point I just made. It was something along the lines "The world gets angry for a little while at senseless school shootings, and then quickly moves on, but our beloved children are never coming back and that's a tragic fact." Maybe if movements were more permanent rather than just fads that last a little while and people quickly move on, some serious changes can be made. One man's offense is another man's humor. |

Riverjordan Member since: Mar 21, 2022 Threads: 23 Posts: 604 | Surfside Condo collapse had a brief movement where a lot of people heavily mourned the loss of the people suddenly killed when the Hotel suddenly collapsed and it got a lot of exposure and stuff like,"We stand by Surfside victims! Surfside in our prayers!" The movement was quickly over and it just got mentioned again today for the one year Anniversary of the sudden collapse. Alec Baldwin's gun should have been CGI. Would have prevented the tragedy. Facts. |
