OMG lol, I haven't laughed out loud from a comment in a while. Jesus Christ, that's hilarious.

First off, that scene isn't so they don't recognize their faces. It's to look like spirits and scare/shock them. They were a small army trying to use crazy tactics, I don't see what's so wrong about that. I've read it multiple times and I don't remember a point where they go topless implying no one would ever look at their face if they were topless.

As for the author, I don't know much about him, but I like the books. And way I think Michael Jackson is a bad person but I can still enjoy his music.

Love the series, read it multiple times. It seems to get a lot of hate but I don't get why. I like the story, hate the villains, and can get invested in the characters. Plus it's very adult. My favorites series hands down.

And you could have just responded with the info and not the snide comment, it would have taken less effort, but here we are.

If you say so. I suppose it's easier to complain about other countries than to look within. I mean the housing crisis, the health care system stain, issues with indigenous rights, outdated public transportation, BC and its whole opioid epidemic. But I guess those aren't problems the government could do anything about at all...

“it’s not my fault my country killed a half million civilians, I can’t do anything about it.” -You

And what exactly can I do to stop it aside from vote? You act like you have all the answers so please tell me what the average low income American can do to stop a war half way across the world. I'll wait for the how to guide.

“I demand my government force another country to stop killing civilians immediately” -Also you

Never said I demand anything, I said I vote. You seem to make it a habit of putting words in peoples mouths to fit your agenda. You own a farm? Because you're building straw men like crazy lol.

Why the fuck would I support American political candidates as a non-American? Just because plenty of people are stupid, doesn’t mean I need to be as well. Plenty of people think that most Palestinian civilians are innocent, but it doesn’t make it true.

I dunno, it is a very odd thing for you to do. It's also very odd to tell citizens of another country how to behave and interact with their government. What country praytell are you living in? Are you personally making an effort to stop every bad thing their doing or do you just embrace your hypocrisy full force? Oh no, I bet you're a "wait till people start dying to care" kinda guy.

"You support the American government"

What a brain dead thing to say. Yeah, we do, because we live here and have to pay taxes. We only have so many things we can do as normal citizens, only so many people we can vote for. Seeing you say all these bad faith statements constantly makes you look like a troll.

Also, you don't have to live in America to support JD Vance. Plenty of non Americans support Harris or Trump, wtf are you on about?

A 20% tariff on imported goods?

More tax breaks for the rich?

Come on man. Harris is against those.

So being for a tax break for the rich is wrong. And being against a tax break for the rich is wrong? What other option even is there?

 

It wouldn't be fair to have your felony conviction negatively impact your opportunities. This is how justice works right?
