So you decide to ragepost in a different community that had nothing to do with it? This community is for asking questions, and it’s pretty clear you’re just phrasing things as a question so you can rage and troll without getting the boot

It feels that way to you. Not everyone shares your opinion

which strongly implies that ducks are not in fact birds

Well, duh. Birds aren’t real, they’re drones made by the government. But who in the hell would make a duck-shaped drone? That’s absolutely absurd

Yes. Rice expands when it absorbs water

And I never understood sports fascination of some people

Why not both?

then read the paragraph immediately below it that could have suggested the opposite,

Your second paragraph did not suggest the opposite

You claim you were deliberately being vague, then get mad at someone allegedly misinterpreting what you said? The solution is to not be vague, not to gaslight people by claiming you didn’t say something you absolutely did. Grow up.

The second

It would be much more effective to curb crime by meeting everyone’s basic needs than giving everyone a gun.

If crime is reduced by meeting everyone’s needs, then it shouldn’t matter whether people have guns or not. So let’s have strong social safety nets and quit pissing people off by taking away their hobbies and property.

I mean if someone makes death threats

This is a clear suggestion that Anon was making death threats. Don’t be a liar

I don’t understand folks that pirate games. I don’t think there’s a particular service issue currently between all the platforms and sales

Capcom puts invasive DRM on all of their games now, and retroactively added it after people bought said games. All of the Borderlands games had spyware retroactively added over the past yeat spyware. And Ubisoft can’t be trusted to not take away games from people who paid for them.

I’m not sure if you got to see their comments before they were deleted, but I recall their comment being a bit weirder than that. Things like “sometimes my family forgets to pick their wet towels off the floor. What happens if you add a gun to that?”.

As the second part of your comment, yeah I see your point. That being said, the rules of gun safety aren’t as huge of a hurdle as people seem to think they are. I think it’s more that some people are repelled by any form of friction when starting a new activity.

Given how nonsensical your first comment was, I don’t think you had a point

I mean if someone makes death threats to someone else they should absolutely have their guns taken away.

The thing is, this isn’t shown in the original post. Also, making death threats on its own is illegal, red flag laws aren’t required if the person making the report has proof.

Said victim could even get a restraining order if they were worried about violence, which won’t completely assure safety but will go down a process that actually uses due process and doesn’t violate anyone’s rights.

I don’t understand how you justify in your head adding guns into any of those situations you listed.

If you own guns, you’re supposed to have a secure way to store them. Especially if you have kids. While some people do leave guns sitting around the house, that is strongly discouraged.

You’re supposed to keep guns inside a safe unless you’re about to use it such as going to a range or hunting. And best practice is to keep ammo secured in a separate safe as an extra measure. And when you are handling a gun, you always check if it’s loaded and follow the 4 rules of gun safety

Fair enough

The war in Afghanistan went on for 20 years, with Iraq and Vietnam lasting not much less. And once the US military left all of those countries, all of the regimes that the US put into place fell apart relatively quickly.

In what universe are those conditions a win? In what universe are they even a tie?!?

I know you’re just parroting an argument you’ve seen written by someone else before. Maybe it’s because of patriotism. Maybe it’s because of pride and not wanting to admit defeat. Maybe it’s something else. Regardless, I ask that you take a step back and actually think about your comment logically.

Resorting to calling me a Nazi now? Thanks for telling me that you have no actual counterargument.

The Pro-Choice argument is one of bodily autonomy. If people have the right to refuse the use of their organs to save others after they are dead, then everyone should also have the right to refuse the same while they are alive.

Not only that, bans on abortion adds red tape to many procedures necessary to keep the mother alive, incpuding in situations where the fetus isn’t viable. If the fetus dies in the womb and the mother doesn’t naturally expel it, she needs an abortion ot it’ll rot and kill here. If the zygote never fully makes it to the uterus and starts developing inside the ovarian tubes, it needs to be aborted or it will kill both the mother and the fetus.

Making it harder for pregnant women to gain access to these procedures is needlessly and ridiculously cruel.

And let’s also discuss your Nazi claims: I’m pro-workers right, pro-consumer rights, pro-privacy. I think we need to increase social welfare services to help the most vulnerable of us, including some form of universal healthcare. But I’m a Nazi simply because I support the 2nd ammendment? Yeah, that bullshit. You aren’t worth wasting more of my time on.

Fighting on their own territory where they already have all their bases and equipment is not going to end the same way.

You’re forgetting that it’s also where most of the military’s supplies come from. That means their sources are more vulnerable as well

This. Pro-life supporters don’t care if the mother dies. Hell, corpses get more rights than pregnant women, because at least people can refuse to be organ donors
