‘Jus saying’…
opinions are not innocent
loaded with preconceived notions
inherent likes and dislikes
they weave a tangled web of untruths
people believe
what they want to believe
and discard the rest
herd instincts take over
to do the rest
-blow up sane minds
Jus saying

Nothing happens in a vacuum, opinions especially.

When we say we did not mean to say it, we actually meant to say it.

When the world is too complex, the easy way is to do what you believe (or what we are told)

Yes, I could do without the phrase! It speaks for itself. “Just saying” sounds to be just that….words without facts.

Opinions are often said before someone says ”I don’t want to offend” and most of the time it offends.

I used to be very annoyed when that was such a trendy phrase. It’s died down some now, thankfully.

Yeah, I find it offensive too. Why should anyone just say, if there is no intent behind it.
