When I got my 2yr degree at the Community College I had not intentions nor desire to attend the graduation ceremony. Of course, by then I was 5 years out of high school. But when I continued and got my bachelor's degree I felt much different. Those last 2 years took a lot of study and effort to complete. I did attend that ceremony. I can understand if someone has completed the 4yr, 5yr, or 7yr requirements to obtain a specific degree and wants to walk across the stage.....but now can't because of a small % of students and non-students who desire to threaten violence. Many of these graduates probably had their high school graduations, proms, spring sports, etc screwed up because of covid too. Life can seem unfair at times.

Did you know that back in history, in Pittsburgh there was a political party called "The Anti Catholic Party"?
Truth is stranger than fiction.......

Ya know, some of this stuff goes back centuries and we have forgotten why we hate. Muslim hate for Christians goes back to the Crusades, maybe further. Catholics and Protestants in Northern Ireland. Why? In my mind, much of the hate and strife in the world is religious based. That's just my opinion Because Catholics used to burn us at the stake as heretics. I was raised Catholic and I have all kinds of issues with that cult.

That was unfair and unnecessary. Nobody knew that at the time. And it still probably saved lives.

One of the biggest shames in this is that many of these kids that are about to graduate could not take place in the normal high school graduation ceremonies in 2020 due to Covid. Now, due to this circus, some universities are cancelling or modifying graduation so these kids will miss out on another one. After 4 years and over a 100 grand, this has been taken from them again. They'll get over it. It's not life changing. We have become wimps if we think college graduation is some sort of right. It is not a right. It is an honor that is earned. That said, I did not attend my college graduation. I worked a remodeling job that day.

I don't understand the hate against Jews.Can someone give me the Cliff's notes version?Even in America,I never understood why jews are hated and discriminated against.To me,it's no different than any other religeon and I honestly could care less what or who someone believes in. Ya know, some of this stuff goes back centuries and we have forgotten why we hate. Muslim hate for Christians goes back to the Crusades, maybe further. Catholics and Protestants in Northern Ireland. Why? In my mind, much of the hate and strife in the world is religious based. That's just my opinion All Americans should hear some of the speeches given by trumps dinner guests Nick Fuents and Kanye West. Maybe one of the three could explain the hatred for the Jewish people to us all. West even calls for death to Jews. The New Republic July 17, 2023. “We’re in a holy war. And I will tell you this: Because we’re willing to die in the holy war, we will make them die in the holy war.”
This is what neo-Nazi Nick Fuentes, who had dinner with Republican front-runner Donald Trump less than one year ago, said at an “America First” rally in West Palm Beach on Sunday.
“They will go down—we have God on our side—and they will go down with their Satanic master,” he continued. “They have no future in America. The enemies of Christ have no future in this world.”
Again, Fuentes had dinner with Trump in Florida last November. Neither Trump nor DeSantis—nor most of the Republican Party, for that matter—criticized Fuentes after learning what he stands for.
Fuentes’s comments on Sunday were livestreamed to some 5,000 people on Rumble. It’s unclear how many people were actually in the crowd, but in-person tickets for the rally went at $50 a pop, with $1,000 netting guests a special private dinner too. And the room of largely socially isolated boys with apparently nothing better to spend their money on roared in applause at Fuentes’s pledge to “make them die in the holy war.”

This guy right here. This one? I'm waiting for the usual tirade of excuses on this one.

The good of the country has nothing to with who one feels they must vote for. Nothing wrong with a man like Fuentes so long as he supports the party and the nominee. And trump says every Jewish American should vote for him? Do you suppose he actually counts on them being as dumb as most maga cult members. The real republican party is gone, and conservatism now means toe the party line and pledge your vote to the one they tell you to. It also means get into/stay in office no matter how much corruption, lying and brainwashing it takes.

Yep, and each succeeding generation teaches that hate.
