A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

This was reported for breaking rule 1,4,5.

1 The votes seem to agree that it's not a shower thought. I'm slow to remove a post for this rule, I would rather let the votes do the work.

4 I'm not sure saying this about Putin is saying anything about any people group. You can be hugely supportive of people groups while thinking their leaders are responsible for, or capable of, horrible things. At various times nearly every country could be used as an example of this.

5 I'm not sure what community rule it's breaking. It's not a very positive post but people should be free to be negative online if they that's how they feel. Lord knows that many comment threads are negative. I may feel differently if the the majority of posts suddenly became negative.

As always I'm open to feedback.
