- websitescenes 8y agoFair enough.. I’ve honestly never read those guidelines and appreciate you pointing them out. I found the parent comment to my reply very disturbing and thought it needed to be called out because it’s a dangerous point of view that enables very real atrocities both here and abroad. A belief in an inherent superiority is what led to historical events like the holocaust. It’s very difficult for me to stand by and not comment. To us living on the border, this a very real issue that affects us daily not only socially but economically.

- websitescenes 8y agoI completely disagree but will abide.
