  • Holy crap, where to begin.

    Where I’m from, mental illness is treated for free, and quite well. I’m currently living in Canada, where mental illness is not treated for free, and fuck, It shows. Even in Mexico we take better care of those wil mental illness and again, it shows.

    I’m 100% in favor of free (mental, dental, eye, brain, whatever, everything) healthcare for everyone world wide, it would fix so so much shit. It would cost a penny and save us all a pound, next to it being the right thing to do.

    Having said that. You want more guns, thinking it will fix the too many guns issue. You think guns in the classroom is a good idea.

    Are you crazy?

    It’s a serious question. You, like many extremists in the US, have lost perspective. Let me give you an alternative country. At those point it doesn’t matter which, because any country literally will do as the US is very alone with this particular problem

    In this other country, we don’t give guns to anyone nilly willy. Actually, we don’t give guns to anyone but police and a few people that are at very well registered and regulated sports shooting clubs. Moet types of guns are simply outlawed. AR15? Not even for the police, and the military will use something better.

    Those that do get guns get VERY long and intensive training beforenthey are allowed to even touch guns, let alone shoot them, let alone take them on the streets.

    Howuch gun crime do we have? Pretty much zero. How many mass shootings? In the past 2 decades: One and that is because the police severely fucked up with background checks on one of those sports shooting clubs. People don’t want these gun laws to change, nobody does. Why not?

    Because we see what happens when you let people play with guns. The US is the perfect example of how NOT to do guns

    You have mass shootings DAILY. like WTF, how even… Kids get taught what to do in an “active shooter situation” because obviously the US being the US, they have to make tragedies sound cool.

    And you think arming teachers will fix this? You actually believe this? You know, teachers, those severely underpaid people who are there to relay knowledge to kids? They’re supposed to be Rambo now too? Those same teachers who already “accidentally discharged a firearm” (that is cool sounding US bull for “fucked up and shot a gun”) at schools? Those teachers that can half the time not control truly classes and sometimes go off and hit students?

    Yeah, that is a recipe for a fucking bloodbath, not to mention… Why?

    Just ban all guns. At this point it’s proven a million times over, thousands over thousands of Children have died showing you the point: people (and Americans in particular) cannot be trusted with dangerous toys. Take away the toys, fix the problem.

    All that sanctimonious “but muy rights” bullshit is nonsense. No, the founding fathers (uuuugghhh) did not envision everyone having 5 AR15’s and teachers having anti air installed, as none of that shit existed. Had they known what was coming, they would NOT have allowed everyone bear arms, they would have allowed no-one but police to bear arms. Hell, even police didn’t exist back then

    Guns are cool and dangerous toys, that’s it. Americans love anything that’s “cool” so they love guns. Dear God, at least admit that part. While at it, admit you love guns so much that you don’t mind kids killed because that’s what happens.

    NO OTHER COUNTRY HAS THESE IDIOTIC GUN RULES AND NO OTHER COUNTRY HAS THIS IDIOTIC PROBLEM.

    ^^^^^^^^^^^^ READ THAT ^^^^^^^^^^

    Get rid of guns, get rid of the problem. Mexico is half way a fucking ear zone and I feel safer there every single time that any time I’m in the US.

    You teach little children what to do in case a gunman comes in to murder them all, why are we even having this ridiculous discussion? AAAHHHH!






  • Star wars, star trek, loads of other shows have suffered the same problem here.

    I don’t mind female leads or LGBT, or Latin / Asian / African or whatever typenof actors, none of it is a problem, ehy should it be?

    I mind when the writing is cringe worthy bad, but I’m supposed to like the show because of reasons like

    “the main actor is black, … AND A WOMAN, gasp!”

    or

    “But 30 percent of the characters are gay, it MUST be good now, RIGHT?”

    or

    “That widely know character with a rich and very well defined backstory is now a stone cold murderer AND lesbian, this show rocks!”

    I’m tired of existing shoes being ruined this way. You want to make a show where all characters are black transgender women? Go ahead, make a NEW show, leave existing stories alone. If the writing is good, I’ll watch it, I don’t need a brave gay black Winnie Pooh.

    But that won’t happen, because they’ll take an existing show, shoehorn in a whole bunch of check boxes, black check, gay check, ooohhh bisexual check! And that’s it. Writing? Oh yeah, sure, we’ll have someone throw up over paper and we’ll use that because we have all the checkboxes, we gon be great!

    And another show lies ruined.






  • Yeah you are a right wing type.

    War on guns and muh rights and tyranny, it’s all right wing talking points.

    No-one is “waging a war against guns”, it’s a bullshit argument, just like “guns are needed against tyranny”

    What people want is sane gun laws, so that -for example- crazies that want to shoot up schools and such, can’t get their hands on them. I’ll assume you disagree there and you enjoy school shootings and would want to arm teachers because nothing is better than a gun fight in a school hallway, right?

    You’ve never noticed that the gun violence as it is is a uniquely US problem? Doesn’t happen anywhere else in the world at that insane level. Yeah, each country once in a decade or damn near century might experience a mass shooting, the US experiences those at about once a day. The US is also unique in its gun laws that they want as many guns for people as possible. It totally has nothing to do with gun makers having politicians int heir pockets, mixed with people like you who are Brainwashed into actually believing you need guns to protect against the US armed forces

    I’m literally laughing while writing this, because you peope actually believe that a) you’d stand a chance to survive even a minute, and b) you’d actually fight tyranny. Trump literally is claiming multiple times he’ll install himself as a dictator, and his gun loving followers not only love him for it, they just go in and claim democracy is bad.

    All US gun laws have done is cause suffering and death, and yes, guns and ammo should be heavily restricted. That would make your country liveable instead of it being the hell hole it currently is.
