As much as I loved Obama and hate Trump, Obama sure didn’t fix Flint either.

“We made these problems for ourselves, now bail us out otherwise you’re ‘racist’!”

This is Splinter, all they do are hit pieces. While some of them are well deserved, its still all that the writers do because that is what gets clicks. Its one long b*tch fest with rarely an idea on how to solve things or spotlight pieces on those who are trying to do just that. Its never going to be balanced because…

weird

My only quibble with your comment is that Mother Theresa IS ALSO an asshole LOL But yes this is entirely spot on. Elon Musk is amazing.

I don’t know if you’re new to this website or what, but “balanced perspective” and “Hamilton Nolan” are what we like to call mutually exclusive.

An alternate perspective in the interest of sanity:

Counterpoint: Any billionaire who wears a shirt with the 80’s metal glam band Tesla on it is fucking awesome.

I worked at an inner city school for a few years and the gym teacher decided to write a grant for some archery stuff. There were a lot of skeptics about giving these kids from the hood a bunch of weapons, but it was really successful and the kids had a lot of fun.

“Sympathetic, friendly characters embody the NRA’s infamous (and debunked) “good guy with a gun” theory.”

Debunked? Not according to the FBI and CDC. But a famous nazi once said something about repeating a lie enough times.

There are more or less the same amount of guns as there ever have been. This issue has been far more of social/cultural one as to why these shootings have ramped up so much in the last 20 years, and “gun culture” isn’t it. We have always had the gun culture. I would be more supportive of anti-gun movements if they…

Perhaps add it to the mandatory health classes that kids have to take. Give them one (or two) days of gun safety, if only so they will recognize when friends and family are mishandling guns and acting in an unsafe manner. Also, how to recognize when someone acting in a suicidal manner or talking about suicide. By far…

People were aware of the technology of repeating firearms when the Constitution was written. However, at the time firearms were made by artisans rather than stamped from blank metal components in a factory. Repeating arms were an expensive novelty. It wasn’t until the industrial revolution and the adoption of steam…

Growing up we had several guns around the house and I always had access to them. My Dad taught me how to use them and to be deathly afraid of them. Even as an adult if I go shooting with friends, I’m still terrified. “Guns have one purpose” he would say. I wasn’t allowed to have any toy guns for that purpose.

Yeah, well, he’s not wrong.

You make a case that shooting guns in a virtual world is fun. You even make the case that killing enemies in a virtual world is fun. It’s a fair point, because the overwhelming majority can separate fantasy from reality.

You inadvertently make the case that shooting guns in general is fun. It’s something that a lot of…

Eh not really, there where not many fps type shooters on snes/psx when I was a kid, and I didnt get into PCs until high school, which by then I was already a regular at the range.

Every good man and woman in the game’s fictional Hope County, Montana, is ready to pick up an AR-15 to fight off the maniacal, heavily-armed cult that’s been threatening their homes.

You don’t know a lot about guns. You know about hardware. Let me know when you know what sight picture, sight alignment, and natural point of aim are. And by “know” I do not mean you read the Wikipedia on it, I mean know as in you know with your body and your eye what those things are when you experience them. That’s…

Being an American means spending every day under a shroud of gun-inflicted cultural trauma.
