I didn't know television had decent programming at all.

Dude, have you never watched Avatar the Last Airbender?

I live in a very rural area, which means that, unfortunately, a lot of animals get dropped off by those who don't want to take care of them. I have two different friends who have more than half a dozen dogs that they take care of because their neighborhoods are popular spots to drop them off. My grandmother has some like that as well. Basically, I've always been a softie for giving animals a new home when they need it.


That's sad. Dumping animals that way. :(


It really is. They're all a bunch of sweethearts, too. One of them, a big German Shepard named Goliath, is one of the biggest dopes I've ever met. The other friend has a cat named Sister that I'm pretty sure is close to achieving World Domination, but I'm totally okay with that.

Hmm. Well they were more like TV documentaries/movie events than series. Like there was Aftermath: Population Zero, basically like Life After People but fit into one tv documentary. They were pretty cool.

Huh. I remember watching one documentry that was at the same time a movie about a virus that struck the entire world and the resulting chaos and stuff, while following a single family.

I'm sorry, I'm just really tired and I realized I'm probably on my way to another all-nighter. And I have to prove to both myself and my sister that this bloody Chromebook won't eat up all my bedtime.

Wanna talk about dark sides?

I just learned that my home city is a major human sex trafficking hub. Yep, wonderful news...

Alien traffickers are traitors, they should be shot on sight for their actions.

Nope, Charlotte NC. Largest city in North Carolina, and apparently an even bigger hub for that disgusting shit.

Holy shit, that's pretty bad. I do hope law enforcement there is working to wipe out the scourge. Here the news talks about occasional raids on trafficker places.

I agree with reducing the market for sex slavery. Legalizing and regulating prostitution is a major avenue in achieving that. So, yes.

Prostitution is not immoral unless it is sex slavery.

Legalizing prostitution shrinks that market into a puddle, if not removing it entirely given enough time.
