You said that multiple people are saying I'm wrong, as if that matters. Antifar posted... No citizens banded together to fight the slaveocracy of the south (unless you mean John Brown and Nat Turner); that was the U.S. government and its armed forces. Where did the armed forces get its soldiers from? The citizenry. Where did the Revolutionary Army get its soldiers from? Guerrilla warfare and average people. |
| Topic | If gun owner peeps are scared of corrupt government tyranny... |
| pls 10/13/17 6:58:17 PM #38 | You're all saying I'm wrong, but your reasoning why is inconsistent with the other supposed reasons why I'm wrong. As a group you're internally inconsistent and incoherent. The Revolutionary War and Civil War were citizens standing up to tyranny. In both cases it was average people banding together to fight back. The same would happen in modern day America if a tyrant tried to take over and consolidate power. It's painful how wrong you are. |
| Topic | If gun owner peeps are scared of corrupt government tyranny... |
| pls 10/13/17 6:51:38 PM #36 | The Civil War literally happened. The Revolutionary War literally happened. To say that there's no chance of people unifying against tyranny and oppression is to be willfully dishonest about what happened in America's history and what has happened in other parts of the world. To list examples of oppression just proves that there are times when people are oppressed by their government. If only the government is allowed to have weapons, this happens: http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2017/06/22/key-takeaways-on-americans-views-of-guns-and-gun-ownership/ You lot should agree with yourselves what you even believe. On the one hand, we have babby orangutan trying to argue his little soundbyte schpiels about Trump, on the other hand we have SmashedPumkins trying to argue that it's never going to happen and that if it were to happen Americans would have no chance. You lot represent an opposition that is internally inconsistent and incoherent, and I have no further desire to interact with a group of people who aren't in agreement and who are offering pathetically weak arguments. Thanks but no thanks, pls fuck off. |
| Topic | If gun owner peeps are scared of corrupt government tyranny... |
| pls 10/13/17 6:44:31 PM #29 | Antifar posted... When government oppression comes in this country, it has always come first for black people and other minorities. The gun owners we're discussing in this thread are more likely to cheer it on than rise up in unison against it. This is merely an offensive delusion from someone who has clearly bought into a hyper-partisan hyper-isolated political bubble. It is not an argument by any stretch. |

Historically, the private gun owners (or, at least, the stereotypical gun owner that this topic is about) have not been the ones who did anything about it.

It's probable a large portion would not engage in warfare against private citizens. Not to mention that it's better than having no defense whatsoever. When you have no defense whatsoever, this happens: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/10/11/world/asia/rohingya-myanmar-atrocities.html Smashingpmkns posted... 3) Doubtful. Fighting for the military would guarantee safety, money, and your freedoms. Wouldn't be the first example of members of a military killing their own family in defense of their country. The Civil War proves that you're wrong and that it's not as black and white as that. The US military wouldn't be a full capacity single entity fighting against some small band of resistance. Smashingpmkns posted... 5) a right that was imagined hundreds of years ago when the technology was primitive. Needs to be revised for the modern age. How relevant a right is does not depend on when it was conceived. Gay marriage isn't going to stop being something we're all entitled to just because 1,000 years have passed in 3,017. It's a right, sorry not sorry. You are ignoring a lot of history and current events if you really think an armed population isn't a deterrent for tyranny and corruption. And as such you're a complete waste of my time. But pls keep on demonstrating your deep ignorance and dishonesty, it's entertaining. |

| Topic | Ending free college in the UK made college better (with a caveat) |
| pls 10/13/17 12:14:01 PM #16 | Anteaterking posted... Yeah, but how do you do that? Are you going to force businesses to lower their standards? By not subsidizing the cost of college anymore so that it stops being an expectation from the labor pool. Anteaterking posted... Also, even if a degree isn't required, as long as it gives you a leg up in hiring, it's hard to say to people "You shouldn't get a degree and put yourself at a disadvantage." Most degrees are useless for getting jobs that require said degrees. The requirement is only an HR checkbox at this point. |

| pls 10/13/17 12:06:55 PM #12 | Balrog0 posted... what a weird time to play semantics, when you just agreed charging prices makes things "better' (is that not a normative statement iyo?) No because it's objective - more accessible, higher quality. Balrog0 posted... All of that is irrelevant to what I said, and what is presented in the abstract and article, though. It is implied in the word "loan" that you will pay it back (that counts as a cost FYI), which doesn't change the fact that the argument calls for government subsidized loans that are more generous than what the US has for reasons of quality and efficiency. I'm not sure government subsidized loans are the solution. In the US we have a huge student loan bubble because of government subsidies, and schools are just becoming degree mills to keep getting that sweet government cash. Balrog0 posted... No, but the argument is that quality and accessibility would suffer if college were not free upfront for those who are incapable of paying tuition on their own. Imo the best solution is to stop treating college degrees as required when they're not required for most jobs that ask for them. That way people won't feel like they "need" a degree and we won't have to worry about everyone getting something regardless of whether or not they can afford it. |
