It was kind of surreal being a kid and having other Mexicans hating me for being a gringo and having gringos hate me for being Mexican

I really wish this didn't resonate with me so much.

Had a white lady talk to me in broken, very Anglo accented Spanish when I worked at McDonald's in a rich neighborhood of Austin. She got upset when I apologized for not understanding and threatened to have me fired in English after I offered to get a Spanish speaking employee to help me understand the problem. :wtc:

I disagree.

Many of them would have plenty of "fight".

But they would do it during the initial invasion, and get immediately dusted by Soviet air, artillery, and armor. Accomplishing nothing.

Yeah in the red Dawn insurgency, they'd be a big nuisance until they blew their load on the first sustained firefight and run dry.

Alternatively, they'd be too chicken poo poo to resist a big authoritarian government promising to wipe out their enemies, and would maybe even welcome it.

My personal guns are for marksmanship and underpants protection. Dying for a cause is hollow.

Dude you're a weird one, and that's fine.

But try not to make suicide jokes that aren't even funny while tacked onto a fuckin' lame-rear end defense of cop hyperviolence being justified because "some criminal" said something inflammatory.

Like you remember when you were a powerless member of society, beholden to the whims of whoever happened to be appointed over you, and the only way you could exert power was through either insubordination or sarcasm and humor? Now imagine that any violence against you is justified because YOU MADE THAT CHOICE and your superiors are just trying to make it to the end of each day.

I get there are scumbag criminals who are rightly removed from society, but we need to make sure law enforcement is actually taking the high ground and not acting in such a way that were they not protected by law, they wouldn't be in jail.

If you're going to make a suicide joke at least make it sound like a joke to people.

I think there's a wide gulf of difference between friends and family making backwards jokes about minorites they know, and calling for action against groups of people, and publishing lists of minorites publicly to grow of strangers.

I think it's a complicated issue and it is going to require introspection on all sides.

The fears of those concerning themselves with federalism and protection are already centuries ago realized: the government already out guns it's citizenry. The fears of those who who oppose unrestricted gun ownership are also sadly realized by recent events, however, if we're willing to restrict one amendment, it would be troubling to imagine they could take other's away.

I think the reality is that most Americans would rather live with the terrible tragedy if it required no change on their part. I think that arguing the government who would take one right that enshrines tools of violence would take other rights is a logical fallacy. I think that good guys with guns don't stop as much violence as we would hope; and that the proliferation of guns has led to several troubling effects on our society, like police who are fearful of the communities they serve, and have led to more easily committed murders, suicides, and accidents.

Guns are not bad. They are a tool and are used to inflict violence upon a subject. Our society is based on egalitarian ideals of freedom and self determination, and people with guns have used them in service of defending those ideas, but many many more are using them to hurt and kill those around them.

Y'all are loving morons. slaves are a right granted by the loving Constitution idiots just because you don't want or need slaves you don't need to take everyone's. You guys keep trying to legislate away things you don't understand those aren't slaves they're indentured servants and sharecroppers.

I'm for responsible slave ownership. I think there needs to be more restrictions on the types of slaves people have and we can't allow just anyone to go get a slave.

I say this as a slave owner.

Imagine being so vehement about guns that literally hundreds of thousands of excess deaths compared to other developed nations are a reasonable price to pay for a hobby and (with a handful of exceptions) abstract fantasies about resisting tyranny.

The ones with the fantasies voted for the tyrants.
