I'm not sure how to interpret that McCoy in a way that isn't in favor of more gun control, but I know that's his intent.

Gubment doesn't know what its doing and is making an ineffectual thing thinking its doing good.

Ignore the implications that the Government should do way more to fix this, though.

Just peepee poopoo it is a bad government.

What Gov Bureaucracy should be doing to protect that pregnant woman is jailing abortion doctors so she is not kidnapped and aborted against her will, which is a totally real threat and something that happens all the time

I mean, that is after all :thejoke:

Rall considers those valid reasons to hate the Democrats, but right-wingers don't care about any of them

hence "or...?"

The thing is, he is implicitly arguing that pedophiles are still preferable to Democrats, just for a different set of reasons. Dunno if he means to be doing that, but he is.

Technically, he's arguing that Democrats do more aggregate damage, and implicitly that both sides are the same.

It's Rall so it's pure, unadulterated stupidity, but you know how things go.

Her advanced stage of pregnancy will prevent that woman from wearing background checks. So background checks need to be broader and more all-encompassing.

61.6% yes. The number of the beast. The landslide victory for "yes" explains why the government is now going to insist on how non-binding it was.

Oh, and there's been yet another shooting in the USA. Four dead in California, plus two wounded children. Brace for more thoughts and prayers.

I've never heard anyone say this; just that you may like ladies/dudes more/less as you get older or maybe sex in general stops being a big deal for you. Maybe it's because you aren't arguing in good faith and just want an excuse to imprison kids in conversion camps. I hope you die.

More like both gender and sexual preference are fluid, but the degree of fluidity depends on the person and we as a society should reject the imposition of outside rules on the self-determination of either.

Mac on... Letting boys wear tiaras

Mac is right, we should all be in uniforms, with masks. identity is a privilege and instead it should be stripped off, as they are the drones of the future. Until the god of conservatism selects you to be raised and you have gotten yours, you remain a souless machine that exists only to be a tool for the powerful and the elite. Yes, I agree, we need stormtrooper armor in schools. Praise the Empire, and Praise the Emperor. Do not the Rebel Live.
