When you find the answer let me know

Sad times. That’s going to leave a big hole in my week

Just because you can do something doesn’t mean you should.

When was an outcome better when one or more parties to a disagreement were hostile and aggressive?

It’s ok the have different view points but everyone can be better of if they have to defend their point of view from a well reasoned argument against it. Petty name calling benefits no-one, least of all the person doing it since they present themselves as someone incapable of making a counter argument and have to result to personal insults.

I honestly don’t care what you think of me. I’m never going to meet you. You have no impact on my life whatsoever. BUT if we can engage in good faith discussions about our conflicting points of view we could both be better off. Once you resort to aggression, insults, and personal attacks no one benefits.

So by that logic either god made them up or the devil made them up. Ergo they were made up.

Presumably based on the arguments so far narcissist is a word from the devil? If that’s your stance it that would be very fitting because it would probably be an apt adjective for him.

Since we seem to be heading towards an etymology lesson maybe you would care to enlighten us about some other words from the devil so we can steer clear of them.

I don’t disagree that if he speeds up adoption that would be a good thing, but it is an if. And, since mass adoption is a when and not an if, are the side effects of Trump as president and everything that goes along with that worth increased adoption speed?

I don’t know the answer but I think it’s a valid question.

Or, I’ve done a good job of curating my experience to not include racists, bigots or trolls and with no underlying algorithm to push them into my feed I’ve been isolated from their comments.

Excellent point. Well reasoned.

But FYI this isn’t twitter, name calling is not the way to make friends and influence people.

Narcissist

noun

a person who has an excessive interest in or admiration of themselves.

Based on this definition I don’t think calling Trump a narcissist is incorrect.

Using racial and sexual slurs to strengthen your argument doesn’t make you look good. It just presents you as angry and petty.

Was there really any need for the name calling? This isn’t twitter.

I always assumed they grew on trees like other nuts. Never wondered why I had never seen them growing anywhere

Stupidity knows no bounds

I use buddy for kids. Don’t think i would use it to address another adult, feels a bit condescending.

1) humans are omnivores not carnivores. This is why we have incisors and molars.

Try eating a purely carnivore diet and see how that affects your health. A complete lack of fibre will quickly lead to constipation to highlight just one issue.

2) the statement that we’re eating less red meat than ever before is laughable. For most of human history meat was a luxury and difficult to procure let alone store.

1. If belief A and B are the same, then it isn’t a stretch. To believe in gun control is to explicitly believe in the state monopoly on gun violence and to support their direct violent use against its citizens. It’s even in their actual words most of the time, they project whatever hate and anger they have against some murderer onto every innocent person who owns a gun, and some of the shit they openly say “should be done to gun owners” is horrifying. When someone tells you who they are, believe them.

2. If you think guns don’t play a part in the state vs citizen power dynamic then I believe you’ve made a massive miscalculation. People are the same as they’ve always been. The *difference* in power is exactly what causes arrogant tyrants to become more bold and reinforces their worldview that the weak citizens are subjects of the state, not sovereign individuals. The overwhelming violence that follows gun control is something that builds very slowly for a long time, and then explodes all at once. If you are looking at the “very slowly” era and saying things are different, you are just like millions before you in history who made the same mistake. This would not even slightly be the first time people said “it’s different now, we don’t need guns because the state is on our side.” To the contrary this is said EVERY time with the same predictable results. If they didn’t think that, then it wouldn’t have happened.

To the contrary, regardless of how much conflict happens over information and perception, its entire purpose is to control what people allow for direct violence. It doesn’t obsolete guns, it decides who gets to use them with the benefit of appearing like they are “the good guys.”

An armed population remains an irreplaceable deterrent of aggressive, direct state violence against the people. And no, this time is not different.

Can you give any examples of countries that had a functioning democracy, instituted gun control and then ceased to have a functioning democracy because the state exercised its monopoly on gun violence?

I’m generally open to having my mind changed on things but having grown up and lived in several countries where guns are very rare I find it hard to get on board with the argument that guns are needed to keep a government in check. My lived experience just tells me that isn’t true.
