      This really can’t be said more clearly. OP can let him come to them or move on with life. Love isn’t limited to one chance.

          I’m not sure if you’re deluding yourself or trolling. If the former, I would urge removing the rose-colored glasses, post-haste. If the latter, seek professional help. Either way, best of luck.

              Listen, I am not going to minimize real physical hunger. That’s a huge issue and I’m sorry you’re experiencing it, quite possibly due to current and past US policy. That said, are you not reading articles about visitors being kidnapped off the streets by masked secret police, arrested and deported? The fortunate of those are returned to their countries of origin, the unfortunate to lifetime slave labor in a penal colony in El Salvador. You are most certainly deluding yourself and it would be in your best interest to immediately stop that.

              One need not be particularly bright nor religious to be able to see and apply Ezekiel 23’s “sin of Sodom” to the USA, here. We are spiralling in the grip of fascism, apathy, toward civil war, global nuclear war and collapse. Go make the most of what you have, spend time loving and appreciating your one meal, family, country. You never know how fleeting these can be.

              The thing is, for many Americans, they can’t afford to eat more than one meal a day.

                  McDonald’s used to be cheap; it’s not anymore. No fast food is cheap. People just still have the impression that it is because it used to be.

                  Do not come here.
