"Keep your private life private" Okay so I can't hold my gf's hand in the street but if I had a bf it would be normal. In some countries I wouldn't be allowed to marry her. Are those issues of making my private life public? A lot of people do care and hate us. Im getting weird looks everytime I'm with her in the street. So shut up about issues you're not concerned with.
I don't even live in America. You should just shut up.
I don’t think it’s good to just generalise a whole country of people. I’m not American but I realise we only really see the lunatics and crazy opinions. The regular people are as boring and uninterested as the rest of us, it’s just that doesn’t drive engagement.
Edit: Dudes complaining about mods here being as bad as Reddit stating no alternative opinions allowed. Strikes me if you’re having comments removed on multiple sites, that you’re the issue and not the mods. Perhaps conduct yourself better.
