I was drunk and ridiculous and getting emotional over a thing with which I would have just had a moderate interest in sober, and going on about it at length as I did on this thread was pretentious and stupid.

This is not an apology or anything. I'm not trying to present a picture of myself as some moral paragon and so my casual failings in that regard are irrelevant to me.

I guess I'm just trying to say that this thread was dumb and I feel like a dumbass for posting it. Even the title of the thread is cringeworthy. Why bring this up when the thread was already dead? Because I'm me, I suppose. And I just have to talk. And I'm drunk again.
I think its pretty impressive that you came back in and admitted that he was right in some regard. The thing for me is, he was right in the regard that there are neighbors and people literally hundreds of yards from you in the States in any given day that need assistance and help. I'm not comparing this to genocide as that would make me even more of a cynical ******* then I am, but I can see the point when so many people struggle in the States with no help. Run on sentence FTW. BTW this thread is no more cringeworthy then half of them. The sheer volume of pain and suffering that multiplies daily is the only real thing to feel cringe worthy over. And Don Cheadle was fantastic in the movie, it really spoke to me.
