Reply to comment by HarkARC in Julia Roberts reveals Martin Luther King Jr. and Coretta Scott King paid the hospital bill for her birth by CharlieDarwin2
Man puts out fire he started, only 2 of the 5 inhabitants are dead.
Not really an uplifting story, is it. Seems like there should be some threshold for what counts as uplifting

Bull shit. Julia Roberts is, what, 45? 50? In that time frame, Americans are still having their lives ruined due to debt and in stead of doing anything about it, we pat ourselves on the back over "feel good" stories like this. We should all be outraged, where's the fucking anger?

I was heading home from a 8 month deployment with the navy and we just hit Phillipines when that asshole launched some missiles. Rumors started immediately that we were turning around. I could have puked from the disappointment. Thankfully it never came to pass

My point is: despite your gate keeping that nobody is allowed to point out a lack of "uplifting" news, there is in fact an understood threshold of what's actually uplifting. We'd both agree that my example would not fit this sub, in simply arguing that the julia Roberts story doesn't either
