I want to opt out of amber alerts. Unless it is targeted to a geographic areas and I consent, stop wasting my time and trying to kill me.
100% of the time, I have not seen your child.
I'm so sick and fucking tired of you assholes pissing and moaning about amber alerts. Someone's kid is missing. If it was your kid I would want to get the alert in case I was the person who just happened to be standing in front of them in a convenience store or on the street.
Pull your head out of your ass and grow up.
Relevance matters or everyone stops listening. It is not appropriate to spam an entire province.
So when you get an amber alert do you jump out of bed and start running down the street looking for children?
I didn't think so.
No, I take a quick look at the alert and if it doesn't apply to me I go back to sleep like an adult, why, what do you do?
I am a light sleeper, whenever I have been woken up by these alerts I've been unable to sleep again for the remainder of the night. Not everybody can fall asleep easily like you do.
And since you feel so angrily about the subject, perhaps you wouldn't be so grumpy if you had a good night's sleep.
