People really shouldn’t write when their emotions are in over-drive. Emotions distort the reality given the topic titles one can see reading their words is a waste of time. Joel Watts has no idea about life at all and blames something out of personal bias not truth.
when these people write the truth then let me know because emotional responses have little value or insight.
