This is the silliest take from this whole thread."

It’s not silly listen to what Kecia said and you will see all the buzzwords and terminology which originated from CRT- micro aggression and

This must be some newspeak Orwell talked about ? I would have been angry too if someone called me racist because I thought something was too loud!! This is mental illness- repeat after me- Mental illness"

Personally, I didn't take any i

binau said: "So this has now descended into almost a race war - and yet race has actually NOTHING to do with any of this. Except that Patti happened to be white and Kecia/Audra happened to be Black. And yet, the toxic US culture can't focus on anything except this fact. Emotionally rallying behind Kecia/Audra as if they are a victims of racism and as if Patti is a white oppressor.

And that’s what’s got us into this mess. Kamikaze empathy."

Complete nonsense and lies. Listen, I wish we had a Democratic nominee that was under 80. But the person who can't string a coherent sentence together is Trump. He is clearly mentally unfit for office.

This is why Trump is already trying to lower expect

First off, this is NOT a Broadway musical. It’s a trashy Vegas comic act masquerading as theater. The show has no coherentscript and no music except for one 11 o’clock number sung by the two leading ladiesthat is so ridiculously over the top that you listen in disbelief

Thanks, I must have been thinking of the original album, which did start during WWI. Still

binau said: ""Tell me you're white and clueless" -god - is this the level of argument that is considered not just acceptable but even morally virtuous in the USA today? Imagine if you said "Tell me you're black and clueless" in response to something someone said. It feels ugly to be using people's race in an insult, and I'm pretty sure in a couple decades we will look back on these times and be shocked at how we spoke to each other, and us

I understand the concerns over fake vaccine cards etc.

However, as more businesses require people to show proof of vaccination, far more people are going to choose to get vaccinated than go through the trouble of forging a vaccine card. From what I have read the number of hard-core anti vaxers is small. It has been encouraging to see the vaccination rate going back up this week.

The bigger problem are states that outlaw proof of vaccination and other precautions. But if proof of

I also know two young married teachers that know their limitations and know that they cannot spend a weekend in NYC as a family of four going to a Disneyshows and dinner afterwards. Life is about choices.

Sutton Ross said: "To imply people can't afford theater tickets (or a movie ticket for that matter) is due to poor life choices is pretty ridiculous and a little bit gross.


Yet, completely accurate. Reality can suck sometimes.

Like a kid today couldn’t just cut school or take their allowance or lawn cutting money and take a train into the city and see a show. Something happened that made Broadway prices inflate significantly greater
