As someone who has undergone the rabies shots on the very slim to none chance I was bitten by a bat in my sleep, I hope those people don’t venture out into public, ever. Jesus. If the idea of dying of fucking RABIES can’t scare you into sense, you are a lost cause.

JESUS

Mostly Unrelated: The other day I had a close encounter with a rusty nail (thankfully it didn't penetrate my flipflop!) and I started thinking about tetanus shots, and then I started wondering if anti vaxx people are against tetanus and rabies shots. I fell down a google rabbithole (have a phone I can take in the…

yeah, “you’re a fake because I wasn’t very curious or bright when I was 12 years old” is an interesting defense that seems to be proving his point

In fact, what it proves is that our education system well and truly sucks. There is nothing stopping *most* twelve-year-olds from writing well (maybe not as articulately as he does).

Many vaccination opponents aren’t particularly happy with Walgreens to begin with; the company offers immunizations at many of its stores

Then she said that by reading my response and then reading your own journal from when you were my age, you could easily tell that I was not a child, but an adult because of the way I phrase sentences.

And definitely knows the difference between your and you’re. :)

“Kid,” wrote one. “Your [sic] not a doctor...sorry to tell you, but not everything you hear on the Internet is true.”

HOW DARE ANYONE QUESTION MY RIGHT TO TORTURE AND ALLOW MY CHILD TO DIE BY EASILY PREVENTABLE DISEASES

Several anti-vax organizations have been pooling their collective intellectual powers

It’s not the victims that changed their stance. It’s because a brown guy who screamed about Allah got his hands on an AR-15.

When are we going to pass a federal anti-corruption act and get lobbyists’ money out of politics?

But what about the slippery slope? Once the Feds start regulatin’ assault weapons, the next step is takin’ away ALL of our firearms. If you don’t believe that, just look at automobiles. It was only a few years after the Government started with this whole “registration” business that they started up with speed limits,…

I wonder how much of this is honest reassessment based on true self-reflection and how much of this is conservatives maybe seeing the writing on the wall and trying to scramble to avoid slipping into complete irrelevance.

I think people were just simply stunned by the response from the NRA and far right after Sandy Hook. It took a while for it to sink in that these were really the arguments being made, the absurd and perverse priorities being championed in the face of families of dead children. I think now people are galvanized and…

Well if we can prevent 10 deaths a mass shooting, it’s a start (as messed up as that is).

I wonder why it was this shooting and not Sandy Hook that is finally getting conservatives to wake up about America’s ridiculous gun laws. I wouldn’t have thought the massacre of LGBT people and not, y’know, toddlers, would be the turning point for them. I suspect it might have to do with the ethnicity of the shooter…

Bill O’Reilly and Gretchen Carlson made Fox News history this week by experiencing a brief tandem bout of decency. Both hosts came very close to saying that the federal assault weapons ban, which expired in 2004, should be renewed.

Our political climate has honestly become so polarized and hostile that my immediate thought was “BUT WHAT’S THE CATCH?”
