He assumes that "a job" means that work is bad, which is stupid. Humans are literally built for work. We do work all the time. We just don't necessarily do work that gives us money all the time.
He also argues that the far-left and far-right are not brainwashed.
Idk if I agree. Just because someone believes something, that does not mean they are part of a cult. But I WOULD argue that most people are probably a member of a cult.
My first question would be, why does owning a gun inherently mean a person will use it improperly?
So should knives me banned too because they make it "easy to kill people"?
Knives are just as dangerous as guns. That is my point.
Your living in imaginary child's fantasy land.
What will you choose?
I said they are "just as dangerous" not more dangerous.
Not sure what you mean. Can you elaborate?
--> @Public-ChoiceI am willing to hear your experiences with guns if you'd like to talk about themIVe owned one gun. Single shot .22 home made stock{ with crack in it }, with springfield IL stamp on barrel. I was a good shot. My brother passed it on to me. Shot a bird with it once, and felt bad that I did that, afterwords.Killed a frog with it and agin felt bad, so at this time, 1970 or so, I took gun and threw it out in the far in of hog pen. Many years later my friends told me that found the barrel. So I shot shotguns with other friends as teenager, and shot 457 mag. with some other friends. One of those finally stuck his pistol in his mouth and shot himself some years after I have left town.Las time a shot couple of guns was some 40 years later I was at a Turkey shoot, where I borrowed guns from others, and I got first prise in shootoff with couple of others. The sheriff had the exact 22 rifle I had as the rifle my brother gave me..So ive owned several knifes and once skinned a cow and pegged out the skin to try and make leather. Didnt work out for me. I had much better luck with carving art pieces out of wood poplar and cedar.Never killed any animals with a knife. I remmber my mother, killing chickens in backyard by wringing/breaking their necks, and then chicken would run around yard in circle before collasping. Have killed couple of rats by stomping on them with shoe/boot. Killed mice with traps. I did see a muskrat once, lumbering along side of paved road not too far from the rive. Never ever saw another one, and dont care if I ever do. The are like a huge hariy rat from out of sci-fi movie. HahaAnother best friend from childhood was killed by his wife with a gun. I dont know circusmtances, as he wand I had split ways some years. Last time I saw him he was still single man and dressed in his high collar white and all sparkly Elvis costume. When we first met in 7th grade, he used always say I looked like Elvis. So I heard from his younger brother, about the incident, but never got any details of the circumstances. Only wife shot him dead.He was devout Christian type like his parents were.
are you a member of a culture ?
Going back to our previous conversation about this. I don't think I am an active "member" of any cult(ure).It is impossible for humans to be infallible. So I think everyone believes things that a patently false. Does that make one a member of a "cult(ure)?"I don't think so. At least not an active member in any way.But I'm also going off these definitions:Member: one of the individuals composing a group [1]Cult: a religion regarded as unorthodox or spurious (see SPURIOUS sense 2) [2]Religion: a cause, principle, or system of beliefs held to with ardor and faith [3]Active: engaged in full-time service especially in the armed forces [4]So, I would say that I am not an active member of a "cult(ure)."But, this also means evolution, scientism, environmentalism, republicanism, democratism, etc. are all cults.One could argue Voluntaryism is a cult. I would respond that, ultimately, I accept the teachings of the Bible above voluntaryism and that voluntaryist thought is largely undefined. It is centered around just one idea: voluntary participation in anything and zero coercion in society.If agreeing with that puts me in a cult, then, once again, I argue I agree with it until it disagrees with the Bible.SOURCES:
So, the problem with the news is they never report on these situations or the important data like what I listed above showing that people commonly use guns for protection.
