The seed of atheism was planted in my brain at 8 years old when they tried to sell me on the Noah’s Ark story. I asked my Sunday school teacher what the lions ate, and how did the keep the penguins cold and the giraffes warm? He told me i shouldn’t ask those questions and have faith in god. Even at 8 years old I knew…

Those are skewed numbers as well. Mass shootings need a certain amount of victims, if we are talking school shooting incidents the number is astronomical.

Our ridiculous amount of incarcerated citizens has no place in this discussion. That is a whole new box of worms. The war on drugs is responsible for that bullshit.

I can’t speak for other states, but in Minnesota you have to apply for a permit to purchase handguns/AR’s, and passing a firearms safety course is a requirement of getting the permit, as is a background check by the county sheriffs. The permit has to be renewed yearly. Of course this only applies to purchasing new…

Hey now, I’m an american gun owner and I despise the NRA. I’m all for well regulated gun control, including background checks, waiting times, and getting rid of the unlicensed dealer loophole, among other things. Just because someone is a gun owner and interprets a document differently than yourself doesn’t make us…

I just had to give you my star for your screen name. Give me all the bacon.

Man I miss firefly.

I think we make jokes because the only logical alternative is face the horrible, disgusting, unbelievable truth. If you can’t laugh you’ll cry.

But don’t you take an oath to protect and serve? I mean, asshole or not, you signed up for the job, and if you can’t do it, you gotta go. And I would say protecting kids during a school shooting is a pretty fucking important part of that job.

Maybe I would if our educational system wasn’t in shambles and our teachers made a better salary that a construction worker. And in all honesty, “teacher” smarts, or book smarts, don’t always translate into real life. So I would posit that being a teacher makes you no more or less qualified to carry a gun in school…

Could you please clarify? How many, exactly, is a fuckton?

Wrong. You’re allowed to spout your ridiculous nonsense, and we are allowed to point out the stupidity that you have made painfully obvious. Fun all around!

Holy shit he’s a unicorn! A Trumper that (wishes) he lived in Colorado and (wishes) he grows weed! Also, you just challenged someone to a fist fight. On an internet forum. While you were complaining about Ad hominem attacks. Wow.

Wow. Using a breitbart article as factual evidence. Now I know you don’t have a college education. The first thing they teach you is the importance of reliable and trustworthy sources. And what exactly do sex offenders from hollywood have to do with anything? Because some are democrats that means all democrats are…

Well I graduated from Harvard, Yale, and Oxford. I also know the best people, have the best words, and my hands are huge. Did you see the institutions I named? That means I’m a super duper genius. Obviously this proves how much more intelligent (not smart dipshit) and educated I am.

He hasn’t. That’s not what god made that hole for, and judging by your horrendous opinions and faulty logic, I can only assume you come from a bible thumping type of family.

Well that’s a shit argument dude. Republicans actively supported a pedophile for public office, while Al Franken admitted his mistakes and left his public office. And Weinstein is just a fucking piece of shit that has nothing to do with the current conversation. So, try again?

I would give all the stars in the sky if I could. Very eloquently put.

Unfortunately, you don’t get to choose whether people do drugs or not. Life is different for everyone, so while it may be easy for you to say “no one should do drugs” that’s just not how the world operates. And functioning addicts aren’t “living a lie” anymore than your regular churchgoing citizen. Functioning addicts…

I say screw your “moral obligation”. There is no universal set of “morals”, so what may seem moral to you could be heinous to another person. And honestly, who the hell are you (or me, for that matter) to stop people from “destroying themselves” (which is a ridiculous assumption, thousands of Americans use drugs daily…
