In reply to the discussion: Florida state senator: Only thoughts and prayers will stop evil behind shootings [View all]TlalocW
(15,378 posts)19. I've had it out with several people on Thoughts and Prayers being worthless
I recently pissed them off by telling them about a side business I'm going to start where 10% of the proceeds (to start with) will be going to charities. I said that I was naming it, "Thoughts and Prayers, Ltd." so that something real, tangible, and useful could finally be gotten from Thoughts and Prayers.
They didn't like that (and it won't be my actual business name).

OP
I don't pray myself, but I always thought people sent "thoughts and prayers" to help the survivors

"Thoughts and prayers" means you don't have to change a damned thing.

I don't believe anyone has ever seen bullets bounce off of thoughts and prayers.

Well if the Senator ever finds herself at the business end of a gun, I hope the nearest officer
