  • What you have is shitty slogans and zero thought. You’re a trumpet for NRA propaganda and you’re too dumb to even realise it.

    The whole “security for liberty” shit you’re referring to? Actually means the exact opposite of what you’re trying to say.

    SIEGEL: So far from being a pro-privacy quotation, if anything, it’s a pro-taxation and pro-defense spending quotation.

    WITTES: It is a quotation that defends the authority of a legislature to govern in the interests of collective security. It means, in context, not quite the opposite of what it’s almost always quoted as saying but much closer to the opposite than to the thing that people think it means.

    Now which is a more real risk to the collective security of Americans, daily mass shootings or some fantasy where the government is “coming to take muh guns” and you end up living in some hills fighting a guerrilla fight against a military made up of your fellow nationals?

    Gee, idk, should we ask the kids who survived Sandy Hook how they feel about it? (They’re old enough to vote now.)







  • That’s not a “life-debt” as much as it’s just regular insurance debt.

    The same logic would apply in western countries, but the practice we have make it less likely you’d get away with murder so actually driving over someone to kill them on purpose after an accidental crash isn’t quite as common as in China.

    Nothing to do with “saved your life so now I’m now responsible for it”.



  • But she never could fathom even going to a restaurant to order a lobster - and that some people thought it was fancy would make her head explode

    This makes me think of how shredded tuna has become very expensive during my lifetime. It’s still not super expensive but it’s not dirt cheap either.

    I’m thinking that when I’m old, will I see fancy restaurants serving spaghetti with shredded tuna, accompanied with real parmesan.

    As it used to cost like some cents or something. Like 60 cents € or something for a can, whereas now it’s more than 2€.

    Hehe, sea bugs.








  • In this case, I think it’s safe to say that whilst he wasn’t a full blown child rapist, that he clearly had an attraction to young boys that went much further than just fantasy.

    What with the whole Wonderland, seems like it, yeah.

    However… was that attraction sexual, per se?

    . Being a weirdly childish dude who wants to play with children seems way less worse than pretending to be a weird childish dude in order to rape kids.
