I go to massively unreasonable lengths and have spent hundreds of dollars and learned Linux and a bunch of stupid fucky networking stuff to never have to see any internet adverts. If you invade my eye space, or my attention, without my explicit consent then gently caress you and gently caress your business model. I feel zero regrets about doing this. My most, and related, boomer opinion is that in a similar vein, I don't understand why people spend thousands to advertise other people's companies (i.e wear designer clothes with big logos on.) Motherfucker if you want me to be a walking billboard for your garments business, then you should be both giving me the thing for free AND paying me as a media buy. I'm still with Bill Hicks on this one.

Vile_Nihlist666 posted:I don't know. I mean, I said mine, and it's not even in support of a conservative position, but more resigning myself to one in my state. But no one read my word wall, so I guess I'm a crazy gun guy now. We did read it, and you said out more guns in schools. That's ridiculous. My old school opinion is putting more guns in schools is not the answer, which is pretty obvious to anyone who doesn't already embrace violence.

A few pages ago I was getting vexed about the ‘my drug opinion is better than your drug opinion’ chat; the monkey paw curled, and now we have gun chat instead.

I'm saying if you're in that position and your local or state government provides no other means of dealing with school shootings but that, you almost have to if you are able. You guys are selectively reading the sentences you want to. What I want is for the Government to do its job and tackle the issues that lead up to and worsen shootings. They instead want to do dumb poo poo like basically putting an armory in schools. That's horseshit, but people have to live while they fight for laws to change, and in the system they inhabit. That's not the same as wanting it to happen or supporting it. I don't need anyone to agree with me, it's not a popular opinion. But I would like people disagreeing with it to actually argue what I'm actually saying, and not what they think I'm saying. Vile_Nihlist666 fucked around with this message at 15:29 on Nov 6, 2022 |

My middle school had all the kids of drug dealers and illegal gambling runners putting their guns on top of their desk as a way of threatening the teachers. To be fair with the people who weren't threatening them, everyone aced every test. An entire school full of gifted kids if you think about it.

Dang It Bhabhi! posted:"i dont want more guns in schools" That last sentence is what you guys are getting wrong. That should be: "if the government is only letting teachers have guns on school instead of working on the actual issues, and I can carry as a teacher, it's a logical action until such time that as government can be forced to take appropriate action." Again, I DON'T WANT GUNS IN SCHOOLS. They shouldn't be anywhere near them. But you people in northern and western states have your heads screwed on straight. The South does not. So if you have NO OTHER OPTIONS and nothing else has changed, and you can, why would you not? Not saying anyone should. Why is this so hard to understand? You can see a point in something without agreeing with it. That's literally my stance here. I don't agree with the republican "more guns in schools" stance, but since it's the winning argument in the South, if you are subjected to that, you would obviously do it if you can, on an individual level. Doesn't make it right or desireable. Vile_Nihlist666 fucked around with this message at 17:13 on Nov 6, 2022 |

Because you are making a distinction without a difference. Whether or not it's "allowed" it is having teachers, untrained civilians, show up armed in classrooms. I can't believe you don't see how stupid this is. It's already stupid we let stupid people walk around with guns on them. God drat I wouldn't trust a teacher to tie their own shoelaces but we have to. Dang It Bhabhi! fucked around with this message at 17:40 on Nov 6, 2022 |

I can't believe you don't see how stupid this is. That's where you guys aren't understanding me. I'm talking about on the individual level, not policy. If, from the perspective of the teacher, this is what is presented to me, i I would do it. We as a society should not want that and strive to ensure it's not even a consideration. But if your choice is " be armed and have a sliver of a chance to defend yourself in an inescapable situation with no promise of police backup or new procedures or gun control, etc," and being unarmed, same scenario, wouldn't you take it, if you have a license? That's all I'm saying. Not that it's OK or right, or acceptable, or that teachers are really not trained for this (and should not be) or it's the thing to do. Just that given only a binary choice, it makes sense to make choice A vs choice B. That's it. But the internet is where nuanced thought goes to die.

Bottle Service just seems like a massive pointless ripoff at clubs. You pay an exorbitant amount of money for the privilege of having some liquor, mixers, and dibs on a table for a few hours? For a fraction of the cost you can buy all this at a liquor store and have a party at home. Through my twenties I discovered that the "pre game" portion of the evening was more cost effective and fun than the clubbing part.

Lol @ strapping teachers because "what else can you do?" Half of them can't even use the copy machine. Let's give them click-kill machines and hope it works out. This is why I've always advocated for remotely controlled machine guns mounted in every classroom and hallway, controlled by the police dept. Sure, accidents will happen when Officer Wifebeat is too hung over and fat fingers the kill-everything-that-moves button, but that's the cost of safety. And our brave officers will not have to go into scary places and risk their own lives when next week's school shooting happens. It's a win-win.

Most kids have plenty of guns at home. Really the main problem are the schools themselves - as my favorite boomer band once said, "we don't need no education, we don't need no mind control." Abolish schools now!

i think we coddle children too much. not in a "lets excuse abuse/trauma as building character" but why is there so many children tv shows or music. ill allow books but why cant they enjoy adult stuff and just find it boring. we shouldnt advertise to them or sell them major things because who cares youre only a child from what 0-12? all this capitalism for what a demographic thats only ensured if we keep loving? give the children a good home, good food, family, education, healthcare. but gently caress their pleasure they better get used to svu and hospital dramas. in a similar vein i think marvel/comic movies are kind of dumb. those are basically for children and see above.

They're for everyone, and everyone of our age grew up eating that food, consuming it, and being unable to move on. Stuff for children is much different and much worse. My main complaint re: stuff for children is that stuff for children used to be dark, and there's not enough cars being crushed like in brave little toaster, or everything re: judge doom, or even death scenes that weren't "and then they accidentally died due to gravity, isn't that a pity, good thing the hero didn't do anything to be part of it". Every kid story used to have some horror element to it and now that is gone from almost every content, for children or otherwise.

Obviously won't say more here as per mod post, but I'm happy to explain in PM if so desired. Which I doubt, that'd be wierd, but still, by all means. Last thing I'll say here about it is that what people are taking away from what I said is not what was trying to say, but I think it's one of those things that's easier to explain in a spoken conversation, rather than a post in a message board.
