What a sad depressing stat. Of the ~164 days into 2016, 89 days have had a mass shooting, 76 without. Sad and pathetic. Pretty much every 2nd day you can count on having a mass shooting somewhere in America. Absolutely pathetic for a country that likes to pride itself on being the best country in the world and a place everyone wants to live in. Yeah f'ing right.

The 2nd amendment is one of the worst things that has ever been written and has resulted (and will result) in thousands, if not millions of deaths all over the USA throughout it's history. Congratulations ''forefathers''. The right to bear and keep arms is one of the worst ideas you have ever come up with and infact has done the complete opposite of what you intended it to do.

And now more then ever it's important for every pride parade and every gay bar to be completely packed. I never saw the point of pride parades. Not because I was against it, but because like many others I had the attitude of ''there's no straight parade so why do we need a pride parade?". I slap myself for having thought that way because now more then ever, I see exactly why it's important to have them.
