But Seriously...

Sweet Jesus.

Let's say you're a family and your 17 year old brother/son is in jail for shooting someone. You need to raise money for his $175,000 bail. What is the worst, most horrific way to raise the needed money?

Here was one family's plan:

FTFY

The root cause of our current crime problems is the war on drugs. Remove the criminality of drugs and it changes our society for the better. This is coming from a guy who has never even smoked pot, and that wouldn't change if it were legal.

 

I don't know where exactly I fall along the lines of "more anti gun folks" but I agree with your take on it: If this was coupled with a universal background check I think it would be a net positive. I can't see suppressors as contributing to crime in any significant impact.

 

And just like fucking clockwork:

"No child left behind"? I have a better idea: leave the children behind. Because they're failures:

 

It's amazing how Ivy League schools contain such mindless fuckwits. "Speech codes" which basically silence dissent and shut down dialogue is only the first step to becoming a communist or even a fascist depending what side of the isle you are on.

They are just so stupid and naive that they don't even realize what they want.

 

Suppressors are to firearms what lime and salt is to tequila. Sure, it takes the edge off, but it's still a fucking tequila shot. Suppressors are not "silencers." They might make a 12 gauge sound like a 410, or a 30-06 sound like a .223. But they don't turn a .223 into a pellet gun. They don't take the "gun" sound out of it, and you'd still be smart to use hearing protection if you value that kinda thing. They're still great to have, especially for the recoil-reducing properties (less muzzle jump, more accuracy). They're scary to people who don't know about guns in the same way AR-15's are scary -- they look somehow "more deadly," even though logically the most deadly part of a firearm is the person shooting it.

But hey, if it can be tacked onto a bill in order to get something productive passed, like say universal background checks, then go for it. Every wanna-be military dude and their brother is gonna have a suppressor now, and it won't make two shits of a difference.

 

It makes perfect sense though. **Generalization Warning** An entitled generation who were given validation to their every whim simply cannot handle discourse, honesty and constructive criticism. It all starts with those damn participation ribbons.

 

Maybe it is just me but I would think that Universities would be careful about bringing these kinds of rules in and supporting this kind of attitude, considering how tuition has become all but unreachable save for the elite or those dumb enough to go in to life altering debt, especially if you weigh job market conditions and potential break even points for that degree. Continuing to find ways to alienate new segments of your only revenue stream with these market conditions doesn't seem like a sound business principle to me.

 

I think that's a titanic problem with a lot of fringe loonie-bin people of the modern generation. As Mistermetokur says in this video:



Admittedly this is a lot of generalization, but really, we live in a narcissist who hates dissent's wet dream in certain First World nations nowadays.

 

Apparently some people can be triggered by anything. For example don't claim anyone is a "Hard Worker", because you don't know anything you racially insensitive asshole.

She's insane. She pulled that rant out of her clear blue asshole. I can almost see her waiting for some phrase, any phrase, that will allow her to pull out that rant and hang it on a line for the whole neighborhood to see.

And anyone who says "I feel you" to a guest on a journalistic program should be embarrassed and ashamed of being an unprofessional moron.

In fact, I had a bad experience with being "felt" as a child. I am offended and frightened, and I demand restitution.

 

Two parts to the SJW problem:
1. Colleges are so expensive they manage students like customer service. And the customer is never wrong....
2. Thing about how the political language has been manipulated over the past 20 years. No wonder they are so sensitive to terms like "hard worker"...that's been a Fox News euphemism for white person for years.

It's not about an entitled generation as much as it is swinging away from our parents racism, as well as being just as poor as the so-called "down-trodden" minorities, so there's more sympathy.

 

I'd argue the more moderate activists are what you described in your last sentence there, but then you take a look at shit like this;



and this



and you end up going, "Not only are these people fucking laughable, they're fucking terrifying. They literally want to shape every aspect of society into a safe place for themselves, at the expense of pretty much any concept of free speech."

 

They are NOT activists. SJWs and activists have a line in the sand wide enough that you couldn't jump it with the General Lee. An activist petitions and works to have a handicap ramp installed in a building where there isn't one. An SJW bitches on their keyboard until the stairs are removed because they insult those who can't use them.

 

They're narcissists who, by cleverer people than they, were given targets to scream at for their inability to be happy, successful. They have an easy immediate-reactionary blame for every imagined or real trouble in their lives.

 

Women like Susan B. Anthony'd be rolling around in their graves roaring about shit like this;
