No, it doesn’t.

No. No. No. No. No. Stop. Just stop. Seriously. High functioning autistic people have a perfectly fine grasp of cause and effect and varying degrees of ability for abstract thinking (depends on the severity). Autistic people have difficulties managing external and internal stimuli and often have difficulties…

This is my interpretation of why you can’t fully trust the bible:

How are you dealing with your depression now? I’m always on the lookout for various coping mechanisms and techniques because I know people who suffer from depression (and am even dealing a little bit with it myself right now, although it’s more situational than chronic).

That’s why I said limited restrictions on weapons that are specifically designed for hunting. Bolt-action rifles for example. They have a much slower fire rate which would make mass murder a lot more difficult.

I like that idea. That’s a good idea. Can we take this idea and run with it?

I’ve learned to like it here, so I plan on staying around for the foreseeable future. ;)

I know, but it SOUNDS like such a good idea, doesn’t it? The abysmal mental health infrastructure of America is such a limiting factor for us as a country.

Oh, I absolutely agree, but I think only for the initial implementation of the initiative. Once you get to the renewal phase, it wouldn’t be as bad as people become adopters. Hell, you could have a small handful of therapists that are designated for it by county.

This is my proposed preliminary solution that I banged out in about 5-10 minutes.

As a mental health enthusiast and partaker of the services, I think depression is a fantastic reason to not be able to own a gun. In a particularly depressive episode, you are absolutely a risk to yourself and others since your judgement is greatly impaired.

No one is advocating a War on Guns, which is another bit of right-wing fear mongering (as is the slippery slope argument that is often used that if you increase gun control, it will eventually lead to a ban on most guns). Most people are calling for improved gun regulation measures. Some things that are usually found…

ideasleepfuriously is not blaming Republicans specifically. They’ve only called out the NRA, and the NRA is #notallrepublicans (even though they do make up a majority of the organization). I also see them equally criticizing all religion. I don’t think anyone here is scared of criticizing radical religion in any form…

Why would I be? I’m a white male. By your logic, I should have nothing to fear because I’m innately more qualified.

What? I always get every legendary ever, so I’m not quite sure what your point is. I have them and choose not to use them.

Why? Most people seem to be responding to his apology well, especially since it seems to be so sincere and well thought out.

Way to constructively contribute to the discourse you sad, angry, disenfranchised little man.

Did you ever stop to think that maybe the perceived difference between genders (or race) is more a result of environment than inherent differences. Traditional gender and race roles are still very much a thing in society, and that’s not a product of the way you were born. That’s a structure and way of thinking that is…

Do you know how hard it is to get that shit out of carpets? And the smell! It’ll be there forever. You can always just wash your hands.

Oh, that one! I got that one. I thought you were replying to a different comment, because Kinja.
