@olives To be fair, a totalitarian dictatorship is certainly an overhaul :)
Of all the good things my mother taught me growing up there is one that I think is the best she has instilled in me:
Always offer anyone who needs it food and water... in fact, when you can try and actively find people who need a meal and dont just feed them, but sit with them and be a friend to them if they want when you feed them.
Probably the single biggest thing you can do to change the world with very little money.
@skobkin disney has been a bit hit and miss with star wars... i guess we will see...
The trailer for Ahsooka looks bad ass! Cant wait.
@TruthSandwich i have on multiple occassions addressed why oresenting such data in the way that it is, attempting to make the poi t it is attempting to make, is grossly dishonest.
Simply being able to source data is not what validates propaganda as real.
You really think that somehow makes it credible dont you? You sound like those people whonuse real crime data about blacks, from the cdc, to suggest blacks are inherently violent. The data may be real but the conclusions are still woefully dishonest.
@icedquinn i wouldnt be able to say if i did ;) but no i just applied like 24 hoirs ago and started chatting.
@realcaseyrollins 10 years ago this would have just been absurd... now it is pretty much the defacto standard when it comes to any discourse on the internet.
@TruthSandwich For a man who hates propaganda so much he sees it where it doesnt exist you sure are quick to share it when it agrees with you... funny that.
"Here is a link to a website that very clearly has a biased opinion and a desire to manipulate the data, we call this citing sources"
yea... no, Ill pass on that link thanks.
@TruthSandwich I do t beleive drivers licenses should be required either, but thats another matter.
In pa we have immediate access to guns, i dont see the world falling apart.
Its hardly extreme in my eyes, most first time buys as adults are in a threatening situation. Unless you were raised on guns you usually have an immediate need.
I myself have expiernced this, i was in direct danger of murder and needed a gub immediately. Just letting me die because some people may not need it seems like a stretch.
@TruthSandwich the king of bad takes having an opinion on mine doesnt mean much.. lucky i do t mind talking it out with you...
No licensing and requiring permission to conceal carry is bad in my opinion. It acts as a barrier against someone potentially saving their own life.
I often consider the scenario of a woman who broke uo with an ex and is being stalked or threatened. Ot having immediate access to a gun can easily cost her her life.
Why does america have the right to bear arms but not the right to the arms of other animals?
@stux same here... its just so abrasive.
@Romaq I cant even...
