  • I have become more conservative as I grew old, but not the kind of conservative these racist bigoted fucks talk about.

    I’m all for personal freedom. Everyone should be given the opportunity to live their lives as they see fit.

    The government’s only duty should be to provide equal growth opportunity to everyone regardless of ethnicity, gender, whatever.

    Education, Health, Safety (both economic and physical).

    Well, good news, a firearm would achieve the exact opposite of protecting you and your loved one from harm.

    https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25910555/

    In fact it’s the opposite. A firearm is far more likely to be involved in an accidental injury or death of someone in the household than it is going to be used in any form of self defense.

    If you want to effectively protect yourself, invest in actual home security measures.

    So rest assured that any firearm you purchase for self defense is always going to be a huge waste of money.








  • Man you guys sure love to jump to absurd conclusions using apples to oranges comparisons… First the guy comparing eating beans to child abuse, now you… It’s almost as if trying to force your lame lifestyle on billions of people requires leaps of logic only a protein deprived brain can achieve.

    First off, you can’t measure the efficiency of one person deciding vs multiple.

    You can, however, determine how much co2 one person emits.

    There’s also no indication that politicians will ever consider banning meat and yet here you are trying to make people eat beans on toast every meal.

    Look, all I’m saying, if you truly care about the planet, instead of trying to force lifestyle changes on 99% of the population, there’s 1% of them that emits 15% of CO2 without really contributing anything useful to society.

    There’s a quick ROI. Be the change you want to see in the world.

    Or you could eat beans I guess.
