Thoughts and prayers....

Yeah, no

What about those that say, Yeah, yes?

Take them and shove them sideways.  It is an insincere bullshit gesture.

What about sending good vibes or thoughts and wishes, or positive energy?  I'm not seeing why there would be a distaste for someone offering what they can offer.

How about keep them to yourself?  No one involved in yet another mass shooting wants to hear that phrase.

I usually do keep them to myself but there is nothing wrong with doing so.  Perhaps it would give comfort to someone.   Who are any of us to say no to someone offering kind thoughts to another?   If you are the person being offered thoughts and prayers, you have a couple of choices; accept them gracefully with a simple thank you, or be a jerk and get angry at them, or ignore them.  We do have choices.

There is everything wrong in offering them. No one that is involved in this regular occurrence wants to hear that.  Now f off.

You are the one that chose to vent on the chat board.   So I chatted.   It was unwelcome.   Which really is quite strange on a chat board.  Thoughts and prayers to you neutral.   Just kidding.   Or not.

What an empty gesture post.

What if it's just prayers without the thoughts, so at least maybe the big guy still gets involved??
