I mean for non-Americans and non-government-affiliated people who cant affect policies and whatnot, and mostly non religious people. Obviously you should expect more from your president and other people in office/running for office. What are alternatives for other folks?
Anger and sympathies?
Rage and pity?
Considerations and energy?

My mind is an open book, do you find it entertaining? At least be original in your responses then.

What happened with thoughts and prayers that made it taboo? >_>


After extensive studies it was confirmed that thoughts and prayers are insufficient at stopping bullets.

Well maybe its because nobody does it till after people are shot. They obviously should send their thoughts and prayers beforehand.

Thoughts and Prayers and God Bless/whatever the fuck shit is really irritating me nowadays, didn't use to. I'll probably get modded for this, but it's so shit to think and say that crap after a tragedy, it's just so fucking useless and time and time again shows it has done nothing to prevent this.

It's like if a major tragedy occurred and then some fuck face goes "May Harry Potter bless you"

People realised that it was just a way for people to seem sensitive, empathetic and caring while doing absolutely nothing to help the victims or prevent future instances occurring.

"I'll keep them in my thoughts and prayers" provides absolutely nothing other than you feeling good about yourself for feeling bad. If you really care, DO something about it.
