Why are you angry all of the time? Serious question.

Those posts aren't very angry? Is it because I dropped an F-bomb?

Also, when I do get angry it's because I feel there is a target on my back. I'm a passionate, good person whose government should not interfere in his life.

They manipulate the news and information given to their people. Although thats not necessarily the qualifier since everyone does that to an extent. But they also censor and control internet usage just banning anything that goes against the powers that be.

That's literally any country with any powers-that-be that hate criticism. Donald Trump is a communist if this is a pillar of communism.

Sometimes I wonder if you read the things you post and occasionally think maybe I should tone this down a bit.

Because I compared tankies to the religious right? Do you disagree that many people value labels more than the content behind the label?

It isn't. Makes me laugh when literal communists simp for a country that has like... the fastest growth of millionaires in the fucking world. People will fall for anyone who uses the same label as them, like when evil, heartless politicians say they are Christian and win the religious vote.

I don't think inconveniencing random people that own SUVs is going to do much to scare governments, energy companies, and auto manufacturers into doing something about climate change. Guess I'm not stupid enough to understand what these people are doing.

Pretty mild joke. I'm almost offended by how lame it is.

GTA 1 had at least one female playable character.

Ok, an actual character with an established name, backstory, personality, etc. I forgot GTA 1 gave you a choice

people will want free healthcare until the tax rate becomes ridiculously high or theres a waitlist like Canada have

I beg for higher taxes. It's bullshit that I have to charge people money for medicine at work. Healthcare is the most important thing in the world. Kinda hard to exercise your rights when you're sick or dead.

On the flip side, they kicked off the 3D era with a female main antagonist and have only had one minor female villain since.

Why do people invent all these crazy scenarios. It's like looking at shitty political memes and posts all day so you can find some to share with your buddies and disagree with them together. You're better off just not looking in the first place...

We're going to pretend gamers aren't awful?

Idiot drivers: "I trust myself more than a robot"

Well no one trusts you!

Correct.

Real talk, wouldn't a lot more people be interested in playing as a hot woman than complaining about playing as a woman?

No. Capital G Gamers need to have 100% of protagonists have the same genitals as them or they "can't relate" and it "kills the immersion"

But a woman or a minority asks for some representation and it's suddenly "just video games"

Don't their hosts push the delusion that he isn't legally elected?

Ok, most of us question mark?

Welp I was too slow again lol. Nothing of value was lost.

Interesting and highly offensive. Look at you trying to do mental gymnastics to justify murder. You're so undefined posted... . No That is not even remotely comparable. An umborn human has no consent like a renter. Try again :(

Why do you think consent matters? It's the mother's body. No one ever has a right to it. Would you have the government force a mother to give up an organ for a born child? Again, if I was attached to a woman right now as I'm typing, she should be able to disconnect at any time. Even if she initially consented. Even if I don't think she should.

I'm doubting your bleeding heart when your stance on a child suffering after birth is "Not society's problem. Parents should do better." Are those innocent children consenting to a rough childhood that will, statistically, harm them? Leaving them on their own until the poor upbringing physically hurts them or gets their parents in legal trouble is not pro-life. You are pro-birth at best. George Carlin was right.

Sorry, were you talking to me, Hockeybub?

I couldnt tell considering I wasnt taking a side in this fight other than to say Pootler and Xinnie the Pooh would love it if our country didnt have so many folks armed up in response to the hypothetical suggestion to abolish the 2nd Amendment purely to spite the Bible thumpers.

I know better than to get down in the muck and slug it out over this particular controversy, after all.

Is this why China and Russia have successfully invaded the entirety of the world outside America? Because no one has as many guns as America to scare them? Some places like Japan have no guns!

And I wasn't attempting a gun debate. Merely pointing out that this cool apathy over the abolition of rights flies out the window when it affects conservatives. I'll even let you have your "Now you know how Republicans feel when Biden goes after our guns" or whatever you want to say in response. This will save everyone time.

I work at a small local pharmacy. We are a pillar of the community. We aid in providing people with abortions. We are not murderers and the government has no goddamn right to interfere a necessary medical treatment. It's not a happy thing, but we are glad to help.

I'm not getting over shit. The Republicans need to stop their assault on literally everything I am, everything I live for. I don't want to force them to do anything except nothing.

Mr_Sandbag posted...

We don't believe it's societies job to do that. It's the parents.

So children are allowed to suffer once they are born. Got it. Very compassionate. Much Jesus.

Mr_Sandbag posted...

What the fuck are you blabbering on about? A baby is NOT her body. It has a different DNA for fuck sake. Why do you deny science?

It is inside her. The baby is a renter and the mother is a landlord. Would you force someone to donate an organ to save their family? Society doesn't benefit from unwanted children and bans aren't going to stop abortions. You'll say an abortion is an avoidance of responsibility, but how is bringing a child into the world that won't get what they deserve going to benefit the parents, the child, or the outside world? You do know we live in an interconnected world, right? Poverty, abuse, neglect etc? That bleeds into society at large; harms you, me, everyone

Unless of course you want Xinnie the Pooh and his friends from the Hundred Acre Gulag coming in to collect the return on all their property investments for the last decade or so.

Every politician in both parties makes money off our enemies. Stop trying to pass the buck when your heroes are just as guilty.

I don't want to ban guns. But curious how I went after a freedom that applies to you and suddenly you're up in arms. Abortions, LGBTQ+ freedoms, none of that is actually taking anything from you. I don't want to take anything from anybody.

Mr_Sandbag posted...

My wife, who is a women, disagrees. What is the point of having the right to life, without an effective way of protecting it?

If you and your wife don't want to kill any future fetuses, then good for you. No one is advocating for mandatory abortions or the execution of born human beings.

If you want to protect life, surely you are also for our society sparing no expense for the children forced into this world against a women's wishes to be fully provided for should the mother prove incapable. If no child should suffer a parent's mistakes, then that means post-birth as well.

Why does your wife think the government should be in control of her body, even if she is assaulted or at risk of death? An abortion ban strips women of all humanity and dignity. And if the government can do that to women, what is to stop them for finding ways to control their bodies or men's bodies in other ways. If you aren't affecting someone outside your body, then no government has any right to ever interfere. Doing so is unforgivable.

If I somehow magically became attached to someone right now and was dependent on their body to survive, they should be able to disconnect me at any time. It doesn't matter how human or alive I am. It's their body.

And TC is suspended. What a shocking development, methinks.

Grow a spine and tell us outright that you agree with the man in the video that women should get over being legally reduced to wet holes.

That's the gun one right? Please tell me you dont think only republicans like/have guns.

I have no problem with gun ownership. I just know they definitely are a group that would not just "get over" having those rights taken away. But I guess they don't think rights matter if they don't apply to them.

gatorsPENSbucs posted...

Google isnt much help but I see that in Massachusetts theres 500,000 registered republican voters. Pretty wild that you at least know that many people.

If the rights of innocent people aren't more important to you than some party, then you aren't a good person. How is a woman needing an abortion or a LGBTQ+ person wanting to live free supposed to look at politicians that have vowed to restrict their rights and say to those voters "Oh I'm sure you had your reasons. You're still a good person! Lower taxes and fighting whatever woke is? That's just more important than my rights. I can empathize!"

Let's abolish the 2nd Amendment and watch Republicans "get over it".

Don't even try to get cute with me, conservative CEmen. All women and minorities want is free speech and life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. We don't need your obtuse interpretations of rights.

No, because they aren't pro-life.

I'm an actual pro-lifer. I think we should move heaven and earth to help the lives of the people that are actually born.

GTA continues the trend of "not being made for me."

GTA V had like 37 radio stations, though unfortunately no metal.

Is this serious

I heard Manhunt 2 was kinda meh. L.A. More was solid, but had some issues.

Beyond that, every singleplayer experience has been phenomenal and I got thousands of hours out of GTA Online before my friends and I kind of moved on. If that's gotten long in the tooth, whatever, but that doesn't prove a company with the pedigree of Rockstar is going to put out a flop with GTA 6. Red Dead 2 might be the best Rockstar game and it was one of the best games of the 2010s with one of the best protagonists in gaming history.

Funny and all, but the whole school shooting thing is way overblown.

For example, there have been about 29 shootings this year(depending on what source you find and how they define a shooting) and there are about 100,000 school buildings in the US.

So this is an issue for about 0.00029% of the schools this year.

That's more than 0

Think of how many humans you kill in video games.

If it makes you feel better about your decision, the game tries really hard to make you feel as terrible as possible for killing a dog, so you probably made the right choice.

It really doesn't
