Controversial General Political Discussion

[Zemmi]

I fully support banning firearms in left leaning cities. Whoops, many already have the strictest laws and they still have the worst gun violence.

A large majority of the US is rural population and the chances of police getting there before an intruder causes harm is almost none. It's also a woman's greatest equalizer.

When I was a teenager we were allowed to take guns with us when we went camping without any adult supervision. We done some stupid shit too, I even ran over a guy's foot while they were trying to teach me how to drive a standard. Not once did we ever consider playing around with the gun (besides my cousin almost made me break my collarbone by the kickback) because we were raised to respect them, despite us goofing off with vehicles, knives and an array of other stupid teenage things.

Mississippi has the highest firearm mortality rate. Followed by Louisiana. It's easy to look at big urban centers with fear and skewed data when these places have millions and millions of people living next to each other. If you want to go by raw numbers, Texas has the highest number of deaths. Followed by California, Florida, and then Georgia.

What cities are the rates in? Places like New Orleans? Rapides Parish? Correct?

We have some of the most dangerous cities in the country in my state which also have the strictest guns laws. All blue cities. I picked my words carefully when i said cities.

A couple of years ago, when I was leaving the Christmas light at the Alexandria Zoo. We heard gunfire. That was the last time I took my kids. I do my best to avoid that parish.

Never got an answer to my religion question but I'll assume it's okay to talk about it here
So anyone else think the majority of religions are evil as fuck and total scams?

So is porn banned yet? Because I thought fighting with strangers online achieves all your political and social goals

I think we can talk about here since it seems you want to treat the politic aspect of religions.

I don't think they are evil but I'm not deep in many of them. I do think they are made to control mass though.

Even not believing in religion I can safely say that Jesus teachings are worth following on at life.

"When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life." - John 8:12.

It's true. Praise Him.

**Edit - @Herrera95 could you ever say anything more bad-faith than "pro-gun is a woke policy"? Wokeism pushes for reliance of Government. It seeks protections rather than freedom. Having a gun and being in favour of self-defence runs contrary to wokeism, for it encourages self-agency.

@Logiko What Solis said is completely true. Self-defence is not "a job". It's a duty of every person. We do not live in an ideal world, and no matter how close we approach one, there will always be nefarious actors. We cannot rely on a police force that becomes increasingly ineffectual.

Humans are sinners. We will never be perfect. So we must do the best we can, not look to the unachievable utopia.

My comment is about that hypocrisy of wokeism.

They say to be against gun but as you said they are in favor of Estate/Governament to held them. So they are not against gun they are against self defense.

I once saw a comedian made a joke that politicians claims to be against gun and to not sound hypocrisy they say his guards are pro gun.

More or less. Rules for thee and not for me.

What surprises me is when they act shocked when they release a five-time felon and they kill someone.

That doesn't even surprise me. Many left-leaning individuals believe in looking good over being good. As such, they like the clout of being seen as people who BELIEVE in others, even when it's clear that a lot of felons are just going to recommit against the innocent.

I like to believe most of them believe in the good of people that doesn't exist because of their lack of life experience. So I don't think they are bad, just naive.

This is for just normal people. The politicians know very well what they are doing.

I mean this is so strange, aren't "woke" people left and since when are the left pro government!? None of this makes any sense

I might add that in my country both the police as well as the military have been severely underfunded for the last 2 decades, how can I expect an underfunded police force (that is also infiltrate by Nazis as well as Salafists) to protect me?

I think that is an over-focus on idealism rather than pragmatism. When you want to believe in the good of the world you can become myopic. It's a pure way of seeing the world, and you cannot fault the hearts of people who truly think that way. However, what you can do, is pick at the flaws in their rhetoric.

Not all violent offenders can be rehabilitated.

The real sin is when they completely forgo any responsibility for their careless actions and decry those who point out the genuine flaws in their methods as bigots.

But that's the state of this heavily divided world where black and white thinking is rife, popular and growing by the day.

Brazil have the "saidinha" which allows those type of guy to go out during holidays and spent the day out of prison and come back at night.

Guess what? Many don't come back. Those who don't come back are what? The most evil and deadliest criminals that go out to commit what? More crimes.

Aren't left pro-big government. They want to have their hands on everything?

not the left, but the woke progressive, the old left were anti establishment, they were critical towards pharma and scums like bill gates 20-30 years ago.

Now they are absolutely re-programmed and believe in the government, the pharma and all that bs that destroyed „normal“ society

That's why the concept of left and right is jot good.

This concept began when the left wasn't in power and wanted revolution.

Now that left assumed power it shouldn't be considered left anymore. Right? You can't be in a constant state of revolution unless you never took power.

Left is pro governament because it wants the governament to take care of everything. Take for example Cuba where the governament is responsible to pay every worker and to declare what is the cost of everything. Very strict ruled country. That is what leftist wants.

Meanwhile the right that also is somewhat pro governament but they are a bit more flexible.

That's why I praised more for the liberty than taking right or left. Leftist has some liberty demands that I'm in favor of it and the right is against. Like drugs for recreational use. The LGBT freedom to marry(civil marriage).
