Astrology, Spirituality & Alternative Healing

I am a student of Buddhism and the lack of "right speech" in this society is overwhelming.

So many TV shows are violent and competitive, losers get humiliated in front of others and are expected to take it without crying.


Movies are full of violence and no human connections.

They don't understand why I called them out on hate speech. They have no idea what they are reading or passing on. I hate that I cannot get through to them. I think of him like a little kid saying "Oooh, pretty snake!" and being unaware that it can bite him and that it is dangerous. The hate speech is the snake.

Hubby and I decided that they have no critical thinking skills. They don't look at hateful stuff and say "Is this true or is it lies?". They don't evaluate it, they just pass it on. He doesn't watch TV but he is just like a Fox news viewer.

His wife said I was like what her dad said was the problem with liberals. I don't know what that is. I don't give a Rattus norwegicus' ass about her dad. He is rich and makes money and thinks he is too good to pay ANY taxes. He writes off way too much stuff. The daughter runs her own business and his too. She warns him that the IRS will come after him some day and he won't listen.

I'm not apologizing to stepson because he IS naive and the shit he put up is rightwing horseshit. His father said so as well.
