Man what is wrong with people. Why can't they just leave other people alone, they're just trying to be happy in their own skin.

I know right. I mean why do you give a damn what clothes somebody wears or who they have sex with.

I have never understood this. Like why, you'll never talk to these people, or have anything to do with the community..... What is the point of spending your limited time on this planet getting into other people's business.

Is it bad that I’m surprised the number is so low?

Wait… they’re talking about New Zealand, not America. Yeah, one in five is waaaaay too many.

I wonder how many of the threats are from one small hate group...
