Being rude is considered an opinion. What's rude to you may be considered otherwise to me or someone else. That's half of your problem right there. It's almost like you expect people to think the same way that you do or they're "wrong"..
And as far as nobody caring what your opinions or statements are, you dug yourself that grave by being a contrarian.
Saying no one cares what you think is more than just rude. It could drive people to depression and even suicide. And that's not an opinion. I say I'm not depressed or suicidal, but what if I'm lying about that? You don't know me and you shouldn't say such things to anyone.
You could really use a contrarian in your life. You more than most.

I'm not sure a psychologist would agree with that.

Roughly 100 years ago, suicide rates were roughly double what they are today. Your parents and grandparents didn't tell you this because it just wasn't something you were supposed to talk about.

Roughly 100 years ago was Black Monday.. That wasn't the best example to use. Tragedies happen, but to that level on a year to year basis?
I agree that we have a problem with suicide and kids, but that was a poor example.

Lol. You are so full of [BLEEP]. You invite the verbal [BLEEP] whoopings you get by your behavior so don't even try to guilt trip anyone around here. If you can't take what you dish out then leave. You won't be missed.

Actually I was looking at the WWII and Spanish flu years. Suicide rates declined those years. From much higher than they are now to much higher than they are now.

I have been nice to you. I have never said anything mean about you as a person.
I have never told you what I really think of you. The life you have led is remarkable in many ways but it should have taught you things that you clearly don't know.
I have a question for all the Trump supporters out there who, in response to questions about Trump's character, say, "I don't vote for the man, I vote for the policies."
Are there no other Republican candidates out there with better character and the same policies?

DeSantis is the most comparable.. But he doesn't receive my vote unless necessary. I'm sticking with Trump..
For anyone who would like an example of his policies..
