Best commencement speech ever

[@tigergreg8]

He speaks a lot of truths, and I applaud him for putting himself out there, in order for others to learn. Most of this, I've never heard, I figured he had some hardships, but not to this extent. The state of the World may be in chaos, but whether you believe or not, we are most def in the Last Days, which the Prophets spoke of so often. The thing people may not realize is, in that audience, and around the World, the Elite of Our Father are here to take a stand. It will be the up and coming generation, and most likely many sitting in that audience, who will bring back the values of The Constitution, which our Forefathers were inspired at the time to bring us. The strongest, noblest of Our Fathers children are arriving now, and they are the ones who will literally take over, when all seems to fail. In time, that will be understood, and those chosen to take over will know their roles. It's going to get worse before it gets better, but when it does, what you will experience will be far beyond in beauty, then you minds could ever comprehend.

[@ctwatcher]

He's the phobe, afraid of God and people with different views of what is right and wrong. He's so wrong we wait for the day his shots take their toll. He did take them right?

[@Ghost-ri7bg]

Uju Anya needs nothing less than being fired from her job at Carnegie Mellon Uni for such foul openly made hate indicator. For a place of Academia & thus Learning she is not of sound mind to be holding even the job of janitor's assistant..
