@ericclaptonismygod31 Yeah you're right. It's much better to live in a delusional state pretending all is perfect, ignoring what isn't and believing it will just "magically" change. Always be happy (that means pretend to be happy, no one is happy 100% of the time), always have a big fake smile on your face. Be a fake, insincere person. What a great way to live one's life.

Right. Be negative about everything and become a bitchy socialist!

@21avasapi If you wish to use vulgar language, please at least learn how to spell the words first.

@21avasapi Try education - it's great, and like the inventor of the rear-view mirror, you'll never look back.
