    “You can’t make a direct impact tomorrow therefore you can’t have an opinion” is the stupidest take I’ve heard today. Keep raging online about how people vent frustration online lol

      Good thing that’s not what was said. But hey, good job on that public demonstration of your poor reading comprehension.

      This is why it’s important to stay in school.

        “If you aren’t in the area and aren’t willing to stick your neck out”

        “You can’t make a direct impact tomorrow”

        Those are communicating the same idea. “If you’re not one who’s willing and able to enact change, then you shouldn’t have an opinion on it” You’re arguing semantics because you know you have nothing else.

          You added the “tomorrow”. I did not specify a timeline. So, no. They aren’t communicating the same idea.

          But thanks for going so far as to put together a whole powerpoint about the poor reasoning and awful reading comprehension skills that caused you to create your straw man. (Tip: That’s hyperbole. Don’t take it literally, champ.)

          What I said was - If you aren’t in the area and this isn’t “your” issue in some tangible way, why do you feel so strongly that you need to have an opinion about it that you express publicly? What purpose does this meaningless public exhortation for “somebody to do something” serve?

          Maybe if you’d stayed in school, you’d understand that words have meaning beyond whatever your tiny, self-centered mind can conceive of. After all, you’re so unoriginal you chose that username, likely to help communicate to the world the fact that you’ve got the mind of a twelve year-old prepubescent little boy.

                  Projection ain’t just for the cinemas, kiddo.

                  It’s going to be a great moment when you’re old enough to have the lived experience to know that you’re just telling on yourself with every comment.
