Fuck no. I masturbate in as uncivilized manner as I can. I don’t think they will let me back in McDonald’s for a while. If Taiwan had only been in lockdown, then I wouldn’t have gotten in trouble for PornHub and fries. ---

I have no problem with the OP expressing his opinion, some of which I agree with. However, he has not yet learned the difference between ranting and motivating. I understand that he is upset, but coming on to a message board to complain in barely comprehensible prose changes nothing. Even if you don’t want to take action, you don’t convince anyone to change with insults. If you want the level of discourse here to be better then set an example. Put forth a valid argument for what is wrong with society and how you feel it should be fixed. If you truly feel that nothing will be better until an entire generation dies then you can either wait another forty years or seek professional help.In the meantime, perhaps seek out some of the Greatest Generation to talk to. They grew up in hard times just like you yet they survived and even thrived. Maybe read some Studs Turkel. ---
