Where...where is the validation?

My father's genealogy efforts have brought him into contact with more family, most of which he never would have found without. It has had no effect on his immediate family, and he is a great Dad. Maybe you just coincidentally know people who use it as a crutch to replace their broken family relationships.

Edit: Do I upvote this because I don't agree with it?

You know MLK didn't write that transcript, right?

Why are you getting sidetracked from a message of unity with somthing so trivial. It almost seems intentional, like you'd prefer whites and blacks be separate.

"They're poisoning the blood"

"Id only be dictator for one day"

"When you see the other side chopping off heads, waterboarding doesn't sound very severe"

Would you like more? That took me about 30 seconds.

Does grab em by the pussy ring any bells?

Pretty easy to find examples of each of those points in the MAGA movement.

These people always seem to forget that the majority of economic growth- or the accelerated rate of growth at least- is only possible thanks to the achievements and suggestions of those "weird academics".

But fuck those weird nerds, amirite?!

I stand corrected! Just proves my point more though - even if a small population is at risk, we step in as a society decide that people should do/not do a certain thing that has the potential for harm.

But you don't have a right for your child to endanger someone else's child. Obviously there is a blurry line there e.g., if my kid has a PB&J he might endanger the welfare of a child with nut allergies. Are we going to ban nuts? Probably not, because not enough kids can get sick from them to warrant that kind of action.

Everyone's kids can get measles. Or covid. Or polio. Or -insert preventable disease here-

Therefore everyone's kids should get vaccinated. I get that our government does shady shit sometimes, but people without any scientific background take that and then believe that vaccines are some huge conspiracy.

It's not.

Science proves they work and do not harm you belong a tiny margin of fringe cases where people have severe side effects (like less than 0.1% of ppl).
