Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

Ya know when Conservatives died of Covid in massive numbers because they kept refusing to intentionally antagonize the people fighting Covid and every restriction put in place against it the only thing going through my head was

"I hope enough of them kicked the bucket to make Republicans unelectable so that tragedies like this can't happen again."

Guess what's going through my head now?

I'm sad that it's children paying the price though. They don't have any say in anything. It's child abuse to intentionally infect them with a preventable disease.

And the parents surely won't blame themselves.

If only we stopped Miss Teacherlady from showing little Billy that Rainbow Flag, then maybe God would have loved him enough to save him from the Communist Measles..... sigh

Seriously, there's nothing wrong with having a religion (Despite what r/Atheism thinks), the problem is when you think it's the answer to every question.
