Drew Carry show is good too.. I've watched it so many times though I think im kinda done with it... but it was great yea!

@LouisIngenthron

Found it, still one of my faves :)

@LouisIngenthron Havent rewatched MASH in a while, but 100% relevant... i think i posted a quote from it not too long ago... let me find it.

@waltercool

No it doesnt say that.

It is showing percentages of the death, not rates... ill try to explain with an exagerated example.

Imagine whites commit suicide 90% of the time and murder 10%... If they have 10 deaths a year then 9 suicide, 1 murder.

Lets say blacks commit suicide 10% of the time but murder 90% of the time... but they have 1000 deaths a year.. that means 900 times their murdered and 100 times they commit suicide.

The black suicide rate here is still almost 10x higher than the white despite having 90% instead of 10%.

I am not saying those are the numbers, i am just pointing out the charts you are showing is **not** saying whaat you think it is saying.

@falken its been around a while.. but yea.

@aschatermees

Sorry I'm back now, but sucked into a nearly 3 hour long business call.

> You didnt say “we shoudl ban all agressors from having guns” .. you said all men."

I didnt say either of these. At no point did I recommend we ban all men or all aggressors... I did point out when **you** suggested we ban all men from having guns that would be a bad idea, but if you could (which you cant) just exclusively ban all aggressors it might make sense.

> As for logics, I wish I could turn around your rhetoric: Not just any man is a potential agressor. I wish I could state in return that not just any woman is a potential victim.

Never said that every woman is a potential victim either... In fact, the ones with guns arent, so that is a counter point to it.

The point is, like it or hate it, statistically speaking if we are talking biological sex at birth, and not talking about trans or other people who change their gender/sex later... then of that studies show that something like 99% (or close to it) of men are physically stronger than women.

Attached is just one of many examples that show this, in this case grip strength.. You can see the overlap between men and women is very small.

So the point is "almost all men are capable of physically overpowering almost all women".. this is a factually correct statement. The fact that you have edge cases and outliers doesnt really change much about this.

> Should you ever decide to study the stat's on rape, you would learn that it mostly takes place inside the victims home, by a person known to her, and often in situations where one would not carry a purse.

I was quite aware of it when I said what I said... it also changes nothing about the reasoning... For starters even if the gun isnt in her purse that doesnt mean she wont have access to it in the home... but more importantly, even if it only protects her out of the home, so what? The point is there are many scenarios where it protects her, thus it is sexist to deny her the right to protect herself and have equal access to security.

> In fact, there is no way an external defensive device could ever "equalize" the difference in body mass, fysical reach or musclepower.

Thats quite naive.. If a man is 10 feet away then no matter what his body mass is, I can shoot him dead before he can get close enough to touch me.. Very clearly equalizing the body mass. No matter how strong you are it wont give you an advantage if your dead before you close the distance as you charge someone.

While"managed"might be debatable the seasonal part is certainly accurate. It does show seasonable effect quite heavily

Im not sure who is calling them anxious, are you saying they arent anxious? I would expect if you are at particular risk for COVID youd be pretty anxious no?

@waltercool Good evidence racism is real and that black women are far more often the victim of murder than whites, thanks.

@Romaq Ha!

@kentborg indeed you did, and I appreciate and welcome it. I'm just trying to spit ball on it.

@maze Ha!

@BigMcLargeHuge Huh? Democrats overwhelmingly supported it in the house, and the GOP had no problem agreeith with the DNC... so clearly they can work together.

They even eventually got it passed in the senate.

@TruthSandwich Masterful rebuttal as always.

Congress: The pentage spending bill vote was split with 214 to 212 bringing the government to a hault...

Them: Its all the GOPs fault, their evil, they are halting the whole governement for themselves!

Me: You talking about that 214 to 212 vote where 209 democrats and 5 GOP voted against it causing it to fail?

Them: yes

Me: And thats the fault of those 5 GOP voters for voting against it?

Them: Yes

Me: Not the 209 democrats who voted ont he same side as those 5 GOP? The democrats arent to blame for that just the GOP?

Them: ....

Me: ....

Them: You're a NAZI!!!!

Me: .....
