Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.

7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.

Yeah, flashing your piece at them does indeed strike me as a tad gay ;-)
Same. I've actually turned down closeted Republican men who didn't hesitate to tell me that they essentially wanted me to be their stay at home girlfriend... As a grown ass man. Fuck all that.
Good for you!!! It's a pity that the shitheads harass you though.
I support your right to put them 6feet under if they take it beyond verbal. But be careful, they can lie and get you targeted by the police. But I’m sure you’re ready to deal with that.
Keywords.
Flash my piece - white in the face - fuck - real quick
In case no one told you over and over, the piece is innuendo for penis
What piece are you talking about? Statement makes sense either way.
Maybe they're worried you'll club them to death with your massive penis
Yah, we're on the interweb. For all I know he could be Drath'nor.
That's brandishing and it's going to get you arrested
Just be careful,.don't want you to get hurt
People are getting kidnapped off the street. Use the strap on whoever tries to "arrest" you
Best be careful doing that. Flashing your gun is called brandishing and is illegal in most cases. You only show your gun when you are ready to fire it.
