Why would you try to sneak a gun into any medical test area? Even if you didn't know an mri will fuck with a gun, what is the motivation to try to sneak a gun into a medical test room?

A liberal might make her gay when she least expects it!

Holy shit I had a conversation the other day with a dude who said, "democrats just want to touch children and change their genitalia"

He went off about how democrats want to change pedophile name and be more accepting. I told him people don't say that. Only pedophiles do. He went off about how democrats are pedophiles.

He went off about how schools, doctors, and liberal agenda is allowing the mutilation of children's genitalia.

Taking something he says is fact and blowing into the massive majority of all Democrat fundamentals.

In that situation, the best thing to do is agree with them and then start telling them about how voting is a way for the goverment to track you and/or .. plant .. fucking alien brocolli seeds in your brain or something, so never ever vote

ask him what he thinks of circumcion without consent at young age and I bet he will defend that without hesitation

Tell him there are more convicted Christian & Republican paedophiles than Democrats.

[–] SendMePhotos@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

He'd challenge it and probably call it propoganda.

BTW, the justification for using different names for pedophiles - like minor attracted person - isn't to normalize child abuse.

Rather its to get people to seek and accepted help.

The real goal for us should be protecting kids. Not punishing people with dirty thoughts.

[–] SendMePhotos@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I think that's a good cause, but isn't the definition of a pedophile meaning one who likes young aged people? Minor attracted person is the same thing with extra steps. Same stigma, same thoughts, same people.

Get the help but unfortunately it may be one of the things that shouldn't be vocalized in a normal setting as most people are too narrow minded to help.

To own the libs, duh

Cowardice. People that think they need a gun on them at all times are paranoid cowards... Which also makes them the last people who should be able to own a gun.

People shouldn't have guns. Simple as that.

Who the hell decided allowing every civilian a fully functional firearm is a good idea

People who were aware of Protestants being murdered by the King of England. People who were aware of the Salem Witch Trials. People who have seen over and over again the natural tendency of power to collect in fewer and fewer hands until there's a revolution and a bunch of bloodshed.

People who understood that power is best kept distributed. People who understood that small groups of citizens needed to have some real kind of threat against tyrannical government actors.

That doesn't mean you need to allow every psychopath have a gun, especially the ones who talk about murdering their peers or are known to torture and kill animals.

I believe well regulated militias are still relevant to this day.

Does it really work in US?

Do Americans actually enjoy healthy democracy? Do they have a say against tyrannical policies, police violence?
