twitter and twitter people kinda suck (by and large)

i don't think they should be the arbiters, and am chagrined at how much power that pack of rabid jackalpoes are being given toward what should be "the norm". but who am I?

wherever you would have referenced would have been a "cosign" to the veracity of the source. in essence pointing people to it <-- this is the whole purpose of a reference, right?

i remember the day he died. i sat with my then office-mate and was completely given pause by the news. he (a then early 20s white dude, fresh outta college) couldn't get why I would be bothered AT ALL. He was literally on some "good. he was a child molester"

i have rarely seen someone so convinced of anything

we went around and around (me pointing out things he wasn't aware of: just how famous jackson was at one point, the charitable works, and the researched refutations to the allegations, etc) and he was like: nope

he had been raised to believe that Jackson was the boogeyman

this to me is one of those OJ things

folk gonna believe whatever the believe till THEY die

>Do you approve?

we are all just bouncing thoughts. my "approval" doesn't matter
