@ student. As you grow up and learn about the real world, you will realize, it’s a little funny. P.S. I don’t remember seeing you in Church Sunday.
Not really funny that some lost jobs because of budget cuts. Just because someone has different views than you shouldn’t make them a target of ridiculous comments. Jesus teaches to love not hate. It’s hard but the end is near. Use your gifts and energy for good.
@Pat — I really want to comment on that, but you’ve said it all! 🙂
“ACLU Florida is laying off staff amid budget cuts” hahaha. Too Bad, So Sad.
