Frokane's Mildly Politcal Hangout Thread

Is gay marriage a victory in my opinion? Absolutely!

@Penny

<.< I mean if we really got into "how" it was passed. Like Roe V Wade, we'd actually have to write cohesive posts. So, I'll just add. I'll assume the not answer of the question in it's entirety is itself the answer. But just to clarify. Do you support the direction of supporting polygamy or otherwise, and think all of it will be pushed to normalcy and that itself is a good thing?

@POOHEAD189 Practice doesn't make perfect. If you practice the wrong way, you just suck worse. And treading the same ground, and not even getting simple facts correct when pushing a narrative, isn't "trying". It's laziness. Plain and simple.

I've seen plenty of conservatives make proposals. Here's one for instance. The suggestion, no one of the right isn't coming up with ideas, is ironically itself. Just misinformation.

Edit: Or what we call, identity politics. In give someone an inch, they'll ask for a mile. (aka. If you're getting into an argument with someone who others you. You aren't going to win. Ever.)

@Penny Is that a victory in your eye? And if you have the basic mindset of "what people believe, is their 'own' truth". Because to me it just makes the slippery slope fallacy, no longer a fallacious argument to make.

@POOHEAD189 Who isn't? By going "Don't you care that 17 bodies hit the floor, you disgust me! You want to fuck guns while more people will die!" Sounds like fear mongering to me...and it's not even sarcasm by a lot of people espousing it.

But what you believe vs what's right in front of anyone to see. Misinformation is every single thing I've thing. From the 18 mass shooting lie. The AR-15 and all the nonsense surrounding that. NBC showing off a goddamn shotgun, to explain what an AR-15 looks like. MSNBC claiming to not arm teachers because of "faster bullets." CNN being CNN. So many ill-informed liars on television and social media.

I want you to direct me to a single person, a single person. That's advocating for specific gun legislation, isn't spending their time bullying companies or blaming the governor while kissing the terrible sheriff's arsh. And hasn't spread a single bit of outright misinformation. I haven't found that guy.

Because the only honest leftists in this argument, as far as I'm concerned are the ones that just want to admit they just want to repeal the 2nd/bans all guns. (And only allow police and military that "right") That's an ideology I at least understand.

Or if you find that a literal impossible task. What exact/specific gun control/regulations do you propose enacting to prevent shootings like these?

twitter.com/BecketAdams/status/968229… Seriously though "this" is liberal media "trying". F*ck me sideways, these people are dumb as bricks.

I'm not against the 2nd amendment in the slightest. At least liberals are trying. All they'll do is say the left is stupid and they hug their guns like 17 deaths is 'no reason to go overboard.' It's honestly disgusting.

@POOHEAD189

The problem with that statement is, if that first sentence is true, you are not the establishment pushing for gun control. No one who actually understands guns, or the 2nd amendment wants what the mainstream/progressive left is pushing for on guns. Using the word liberal, is almost a farce because it's anything but. The policies they've came out with, do nothing to solve gun crime, already exist in law, or want to do something completely unconstitutional. No one is unsympathetic toward loss. People claiming otherwise and using dead children to push broken/unlawful policy is distasteful.

There's two camps here, one completely reactionary and misguided at best. (Passing laws out of panic, isn't intelligent.) Or two, rational thought and knowledge that gun control and gun bans around the world aren't effective in reducing crime. We already have laws that should have stopped this and in this case in particular there's far deeper problems that put holes in several arguments the left usually makes. I.E Only the police force was meant to have guns. In a case where the police were around but stood down while children and teachers were put in danger, injured and killed.

So, what they're trying to do is spread fear and misinformation. So I don't want to give them pats on the back for shouting with passion, since they have no evidence, policy and/or sense to back it up.

@Fabricant451 Are you planning on creating a specific discord for this particular RP? (If beforehand to help brainstorm ideas between each other and get some questions answered and in a sub-list. So hopefully others don't need to ask the same questions. Or if preferred, after everyone's been accepted and finished with their CS's.)

And I'll start writing up parts of my CS, when I'm aware what I need to fill out.

@Apoalo My slow typing curses me again.

@Goldmarble I'm not entirely sure the site is arguing what you think it may be arguing.

Note, the myth isn't talking about the 2.5 million saved. But the idea it cannot possibly be accurate. In the article, the guy making the claim in question adds that his survey may be too low.

But I'm sure like all information and studies, it has its critics. And I don't disagree that it's hard to accurately show prevention of something.

@Regitnui For the newspaper? Maybe opinion editor? Including writing my own column. I have one particular character idea involving someone heavily involved and interested in mysticism. So I'd likely write something akin to spiritual musings, like some self-improvement column or the like. I'd imagine a selection of kids and teenagers would enjoy.
