Best response here. 

Reading these comments just makes me want to put on a pair of socks with my favorite sandals and see the reactions! LOL!
The shit people get bent about...

I think it’s more like making lemonade out of lemons... 

Fucking same.
Heartbreaking. 

Pretty accurate, though. I’ve always thought of shrimp as the cockroaches of the ocean. 

Other effective (and some may say, better) ways to roast your chiles - on an open flame on your grill or using a blowtorch. 

That does help. And the fact that you took the time to respond so kindly also helps.

I already have anxiety and depression, so finding out recently that my step-dad’s cancer is no longer treatable feels a whole lot like fear/anxiety.

This comment pretty much sums up the whole story.

Comparing the monarchy to NFL. Interesting take, there...

Fair enough! That makes a lot of sense to me.

And that’s fine. My point is, we’re all entitled to our opinions. We don’t have to be assholes about it, we don’t have to all agree, but we all do get to have our own thoughts. (and the fact that I need to state that is mind-blowing to me!) 

I can’t disagree with that!

Why would you not have an opinion on something simply because you’re not a citizen?
Do you not have opinions on wars? Cultural issues (such as female genital mutilation)? The treatment of citizens by their leaders?

Perspective does indeed help. It doesn’t alleviate, but it does help. 

*shudder*
Washing my eyeballs now. 

I loooove the Australian version. I watch reality tv for the trash, not life lessons. 

Now do the worst dating shows - much more fun to watch!

This seems hostile to all living beings.
