They're a tribal indicator and thats the problem. Of course, they're a tribal indicator for every reason they might be distasteful.

Kind of like how a pandemic resulted in the erosion of our public health infrastructure instead of strengthening it.

QuoteSteve G. There are over 350 million guns in the U.S.. This country is seemingly bent holding and utilizing killing devices in every hand. Nonsense, the population is 320 million, its barely enough to cover one hand for each American.

Re: What the heck is a long gun? - 4 weeks ago

I do think its fair to ask "why didn't we have mass shootings in the past if gun ownership has been more or less constant?" but it just doesn't matter. Get rid of the guns. One way or another firearm availability is too high, too casual, and generally venerated. Listen, if you have a plan to change the culture so gun violence isn't a problem then I'm all ears. But thats clearl

Re: What the heck is a long gun? - 4 weeks ago

QuotegraylocksThough I find the distinction interesting, in terms of the image in the general public's mind it doesn't really matter. Automatic or semi-automatic - they are weapons that can shoot a crap ton of bullets in seconds and in an instant do immeasurably more damage than Pa's single shot rifle "long gun." I've never understood why guns are regulated by capability rather than s

I replaced a screen on my iphone 7 but managed to bend the metal portion and it was never the same. Sure, it was a dumb mistake but it showed me that apparently subtle changes in technique might affect the structural integrity of the phone. I don't think I'll try that again.

Re: I am continuously surprised by the fixation on 'child trafficking' - 4 weeks ago

QuotekjThank you, it is a big problem, especially if you group it with the larger problem of sexual exploitation of children, which it should be. The fact some people are bonkers about it doesn't diminish that. I've read about it, heard about it and seen it happening. It's real. Its unfortunate an imagined problem starts to discredit a real problem. Also, all the talk of the problem doesn't

I am continuously surprised by the fixation on 'child trafficking' - 5 weeks ago

Am I missing something here? Is the topic of child trafficking popular due to QAnon? I saw a facebook post by someone who's christian and conservative (should we just accept those are one and the same at this point?) complaining about sexualized dolls for little girls. Its an old topic, but I was surprised that she framed her complaint in relation to grooming for sex trafficking. Maybe I'

QuoteLemon DropI don't see any state legislature passing or any federal judge upholding a law that makes contraception illegal. Just don't see it. A few wacky legislators here and there don't make it a likely scenario. All they need to do is equate contraception with abortion. I don't think they'd do it wholesale, but they may pick out contraception formats they don't like and deny availabili

QuotePeterBon the basis of saying that each state has the right to regulate the behavior of its own residents... since we're apparently letting any state do whatever the heck it wants... I'm willing to engage in this game, but I can't see how that would be allowed in another realm of concern.

I think you missed the part where he took abortion out of the political realm and generally resolved the matter. (I have no @#$%& clue how a state could charge someone for an action in another state, but the supreme court has surprised me before)
