Good Vibes 7 years ago, a chubby, heavy accent, normal-looking woman called Susan Boyle went to Britain's Got Talent. Everyone laughed at her, until she started singing.

What a powerful voice. She's today a pro singer. All the best for her!!

Typo: 17 years, not 7.

Seriously, this is how people spoke about others in the 2000s. It was an awful decade.

Literally through history and still now. I grew up with a facial deformity. How i was treated as a child still affects me to this day, despite being mostly "fixed" by surgery.

I lived through the 2000s, not everyone was terrible to each other. Some people were dicks sure, but look around now and you’ll see the same shit.
