[–] FatVegan@leminal.space 3 points 2 hours ago

I quit drinking a good 10 years ago. Once you stop drinking and realise how weird alcohol culture is and how it's somehow everywhere and everything is just better without... Fully agree.

[–] Poojabber@lemmy.world 4 points 4 hours ago

Im not gonna downvote you, but the cocaine use may have also been a factor here...

[–] DioramaOfShit@lemmy.world 3 points 4 hours ago

But then we would have to start bombing Venezuelas booze boats.

That's Polk County FL in a very sad nutshell.

It wasn’t a “shooting” it was a NRA sponsored _Freedom Celebration_™

Sociology class I took ages ago mentioned a very strong correlation of domestic violence with football team performance. Basically in the state that the winning team belongs to, their violence rates dip, and the team that lost gets a surge of husbands assaulting/murdering their wives.

Humans are really shitty animals.

Don't blame humans for what football fans do.

"He absolutely destroyed a family," Judd said. "Our homicide detectives are distraught. When you go in there, there is a beautiful Christmas tree with lots of Christmas presents under the tree, just like the nuclear family should be ... and it ends up this way."

Yeah, so maybe, just maybe the drug using alcoholic with anger management issues should not have had a gun. But no, we can't restrict gun ownership, can we. Some old guys a about 250 years ago said we shouldn't do that. So, sorry folks. All you can do is get your own gun and hope you're fast enough to shoot any crazy fucks who come at you before they can shoot you. It's the American way.

Are you suggesting the ambiguously worded will of the slave owners and their enablers from 250 years ago should be adapted to modern reality? What kind of filthy commie talk is that?

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 1 points 2 hours ago

More relevant is that people who needed to hand pack and load every mystery ball one at a time after every inaccurate shot couldn't possibly imagine a reality in which everyone has easy access to high velocity semi-automatic weapons that hold a dozen or more rounds and can be reloaded in seconds.

There's kinda a big difference between 3 rounds a minute and 3 rounds a second.

[–] Serinus@lemmy.world 32 points 19 hours ago

It's not ambiguously worded.

This man was clearly part of a well-regulated militia.

is this the "well regulated militia" that everyones talkin about?

[–] Aneb@lemmy.world 3 points 9 hours ago

Is the "well regulated militia" in the room with us

[–] cerebralhawks@lemmy.dbzer0.com 25 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

No, no, that argument fell apart the moment the "well" "regulated" 2A "militia" stepped aside and let fascism in. Now they're just tacticool cosplayers.

And now we got the paramilitary gravy seals showing up in jungle camo to kidnap tu abuelo in the fucking Walmart parking lot.

Mental health in the USA is good.

[–] cygnus@lemmy.ca 27 points 19 hours ago

Definitely a normal country full of well-adjusted people. We can see evidence of that on a daily basis.
