    I've been falsely accused of running amok. The truth is at one time I ran a mok but trust me, there's just no money in it.

    Agree with almost everything on @Lanny's list except people sometimes have to come to work sick because they get fired if they miss days. Outrage against employer.

    I am also outraged by those who define Christianity by how many of their neighbors they hate (gays, Jews, Muslims, immigrants).
    I am outraged by children taken from parents at the border.
    I am outraged that four white men who knowingly cast ballots in the name of dead relatives do they could vote for Trump twice got probation, but a Black woman who completed a prison term, turned her life around, was told in writing but incorrectly by probation officer she could now register to vote since her parole had ended was sentenced to six years in prison.

    I am outraged Kevin McCarthy is a politician. There are others but it is exhausting to list the Republican party. .

    With all due apologies to George Harrison, we're living in a Marxist world.

    There are certainly other forms of thought. They may not line up with your world view, but you can continue to be outraged all the same.

    But, hey, don't think twice, it's all right.

    I never denied there are other views. There are also facts. Florida Republican explained that the don't make white people uncomfortable bill doesn't prohibit teaching about slavery, but they can't say one "race" were the enslavers and another the enslaved.
    Except that happens to be true.

    Holy shit, you are a marksman when it comes to target practice. I'll bet you hit the bullseye every time.

    Damn it, so am I. Seems like they were made by using the thought process of a third grader.

    In this case we need to make it a law that employers must provide two weeks of sick pay every year to all their employees and then my statement makes more sense.
