For anyone lacking Nick Sandmann's statement (scroll down a bit to read his letter):

https://heavy.com/news/2019/01/nicholas ... -catholic/

And here's a typical 'progressive' reaction to him:

https://www.democraticunderground.com/100211702240

We had a long and heated debate over the whole affair, which is probably best left to MDB archives. That said, this kid getting savaged by the media was insane. THAT said, Conservatives who champion Nick Sandmann's victim status ought to remember that next time they want to get personal with, say, Greta Thunberg, who admittedly is injecting herself into an international issue. One is not the same as the other, but I think Conservatives could at least not get personal with Great Thunberg just as Liberals shouldn't have gotten personal with that kid. They're both teens that are heavily influenced by their parents and extended community.

Greta Thurnburg is loved. She gave a speach to the UN. She also has aspergers.
Criticism of her is largely related to her age and naïveté. Not her innately evil character.

Meanwhile

This is how Angelina Jolie feels about her own natural daughter.

Angelina Jolie: 'My blonde-haired natural daughter Shiloh is the outcast in our family'

She added: "I felt so much more for Madd, Zahara and Pax because they were survivors. "Shiloh seemed so privileged from the moment she was born. "But I'm conscious that I have to make sure I don't ignore her needs, just because I think the others are more vulnerable."


You don't find it odd that a mother hates her own natural offspring?

Of course. What kind of question is that and what does that have to do with Nick Sandmann?

What in the above statements leads you to believe that Jolie "hates her own natural offspring"? In what way does she hate her natural offspring?

You noticed that too, I see. : D

My money is on IWTT not being able to answer the question, and instead diverting to something else.

I notice everything around here whether I acknowledge it in a post or not.

Tell us where to send the money because you win that bet in advance of the outcome.

for what it's worth I don't hear Smokey or Bach in iwtt's posts. There's plenty of dysfunctional and illiterate people in the world. They don't need to replicate themselves via sock for they are legion.

Definitely not the same person. Smokey was a much more competent speller than bach.

I know who exactly Smokey is. Smokey is a Mormon priesthood holder who lives in Utah county, but I've decided not to do anything with it, though. I just can't bring myself to doxx someone despite the nonsense he posted on this forum. The consequences for him would extend to others in a very real way, and I'm just not going to do that.
