My dad was getting evicted from my childhood home that my dad built. Mostly from little faults on his own.
He was never suicidal but he told us that he was going to fight the police and would rather die than leave the house. He was pretty much planning on going down with the house.
After years and years of battling the bank that screwed my dad and losing my mom to cancer, I asked my dad to stop fighting and we convinced him to live in an apartment that my siblings pool together to pay for.
The point of it is losing a home is very depressing and hurtful. We don’t need police to serve paper, but social workers and government support for people that got displaced.
I assume the comment means in this person’s eyes, not in their own. It seems like sarcastically discussing their beliefs, in that they didn’t actually do anything that matters and are just worried this guy sinned. I don’t know though. It’s impossible to tell the difference between sarcasm and authenticity in text.
Well I mean sarcastic or not, the comment isn’t appropriate. It’s very unlikely she started praying because she thought the person was a sinner, she started praying for the person’s safety. Prayer for something like this is an expression of concern.
Dark humor doesn’t always work with complete strangers. The reason it was taken in a “weirdly negative way” is just because it was either an inappropriate thing you actually believe or an inappropriate joke.
That’s true. Good thing I don’t think that. Good thing I never said anything like that. I wouldn’t want anyone to hear what they wanted to hear, twist the original intent, and then send a retort designed to make me look like some kind of selfish person in order to make themselves feel superior.
Here, I’ll use your tactic: It’s incredibly hypocritical to suggest that you are living in hell because other people suffer, while you enjoy the comforts of a capitalist world. You are not living that hell. You are just viewing other people’s suffering, with popcorn, and offering up your thoughts and prayers.
Christians would believe your sins are forgiven if you repent, but suicide is a special case because you have to be living to repent. If your sin results in your death, you can’t repent.
Ah yeah. There’s always someone who is so devoid of a conscience that they will say something like this. It’s thinking like this and those that participate in it that keep the world from being a good place to live.
If you believe an invisible sky daddy watching all of your moves, ready to send you to burn for eternity at the slightest fuck up, then you need to grow up.
Ah yes. That passage where Jesus said, “pay your landlord, for he is the idol which thou should worship for letting thyself life in thou’s abode.”
Or when he said, “ignore thy neighbor when he is in pain, for he is not thy self.”
Or that passage in the bible that says, “it is easy for a rich man to get into the kingdom of God, and it is also easy for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle.”
I think one of Jesus’ teachings said, “provide housing for thy sojourner, but only if he pays thee 30 silver coins.”
jeez, now the fire dept is going to have to be dispatched every time there’s an eviction… or the police officers will get crosstrained to extinguish fires possibly?
I wasn’t joking. I was being mildly hyperbolic. Landlord is just going to file an insurance claim. Probably get a tax break for the loss. Maybe instead of making 900,000 this year they make 875,000. Life goes on because fuck poor people
I get that this is not the kind of situation where one would think about this, but poor pets are always victims, no matter what. They don’t understand what or why, they just suddenly are suffering :(
I've been watching a documentary about the collapse of the Soviet Union and those are always the worst parts. Fuck people, but don't leave the scared monkeys caged in a zoo in the middle of a war. We carelessly exploit so much and just throw it away.
