RANDOM DISCUSSION POST

By -
This is the third random discussion post I have created; I will endeavor to post them more often. 

 At this time I also want to thank my latest donor for their generous donation to the Landing Spot; your gift is greatly appreciated!

 As this is a random discussion, nothing is off-topic, but posters are expected to employ good taste, so to speak (no porn, excreta or graphic depictions of violence, please) 

 Photos, memes, political memes, and other assorted items like jokes are permitted (and they can be tasteless)... I also welcome suggestions for topics, movies, and other ideas!

 Carry on...

Snuff films and/or anything related to them are far from my bag to say the least, but I felt compelled to watch this documentary, as my only brother killed himself by jumping from a bridge elsewhere...
