A HUG IS NEARLY A GUN SPELLED BACKWARD

The argument of personal relations being more important than causes or patriotism, is true being that personal relations are more meaningful than patriotism. I agree that personal relations are more important because personal relations can actually spread positively while patriotism can spread negatively. People may say that their country or state is better than others which can start arguments, hatred, and competiveness  between other countries and states. Others may say patriotism is more important by saying 'what's so bad about loving your country'? , well many will do anything to promote their country whether it is in a good or bad way.
Personal relations is essential to a happy and positive life. Such as, having a relationship with family is basic human nature and provides support and comfort between people. A relationship with family can be all peace and calm while patriotism can be aggressive and debatable. Indeed, Patriotism can unite people together and make people agree on one thing however, it can start wars and put countries or states against one another. Supporters recognized wanting the best for their country and promoting it in that way, still they do not recognize many promote in a way that degrades other countries.
Therefore, personal relations are more important than patriotism in a way of spreading more positively. Personal relations is essential while patriotism is unnecessary unless used in a way to unite others together. Patriotism is mainly used in a negative way to bring other countries down, rise hatred and mistrust.

bad words

I think what makes words bad are the way people think of certain words, they may think certain words as impolite or rude. Also, the way the words are being used or in what tones they say it in. Such as, someone who stubs their toe wouldn't say a 'good' word but a 'bad' word to expression how they feel. I think the use of 'good' and 'bad' words help express what a person is thinking & expand how they want to express a certain situation or mood. I think the use of euphemism would be appropriate to use when talking/approaching someone superior & I think it becomes confusing when used in certain tones.

Satire " white lives matter"

White lives matter and it's time for everyone to bring attention to all the white lives lost. These white lives were lost due to black hate crimes and resistance. I mean, black lives have been lost but white lives matter more right? There have been more white lives lost, about 414, according to CNN but only 233 black lives.

Interesting stat on CNN today! #MSM #BiasNews:

 Due to the higher rate we should be more concerned about the white lives, not any other races'.  The murders of white innocent lives have been kept quiet by people with high platforms on social media & media outlets have been focusing more on the black lives lost more than the whites. I mean white lives matter more, right ?
