@FuckSpotMonkeys @AngyVikingr @AngryRenUSMC @kharyp Well, except that the arms in question are for "the people", not the military or business. Derp!

@SpencerHakimian Oh, look! Your stupid just spewed all over your keyboard.

@AMarch4OurLives Imagine being so obtuse that you live in a country made free with guns, which is currently defended by guns (military), in cities/states defended by more guns (police/sheriff), yet you think guns are the problem. You should probably move to a gun-free country.

@Iamemperor00 Discernment is a wonderful gift. I think it detrimental to condition people to go against their instincts, especially youth.

A week later, our local community Facebook page exploded with posts.
The same man had been arrested.
According to the reports, he had been secretly recording people in public changing rooms for months.
I just sat there staring at the screen.
Was it coincidence?
Maybe.
Kids say random things all the time.
But I couldn’t stop thinking about that little girl’s face.
She wasn’t scared.
She wasn’t dramatic.
She simply said,
“I don’t like him.”
Ever since then, I’ve wondered about something.
Adults are taught to ignore first impressions because they’re often biased.
Children haven’t learned most of those biases yet.
Sometimes they notice things we don’t.
Or maybe we just remember the times they happen to be right.
Either way…
If your child strongly disliked someone for no obvious reason…
Would you trust their instinct?
Or would you assume they were just being a kid?

I was sitting on a packed train when a little girl, maybe six years old, walked up to me and asked,
“Can I sit with you?”
There were empty seats.
I pointed to one and smiled.
“You can sit there.”
She shook her head.
“My mom said I should sit next to the nicest-looking person.”
Her mother looked embarrassed and apologized.
I laughed and told the girl she could sit with me.
For the next twenty minutes we talked about cartoons, dinosaurs, and why she thought pigeons were “government birds.”
When our stop came, the mom thanked me and quietly said,
“I’m sorry if that was awkward.”
I told her it wasn’t a big deal.
Then she said something that stayed with me.
“My daughter has never been wrong about people.”
I thought she was joking.
She wasn’t.
She explained that whenever her daughter instantly liked someone, they usually turned out to be genuinely kind.
Whenever she refused to go near someone, there was almost always a reason later.
She admitted it sounded ridiculous, but after years of seeing it happen, she’d learned to trust her instincts.
I smiled politely and left.
A few months later, I ran into them again at a grocery store.
The little girl recognized me immediately and ran over to say hi.
While we were talking, another customer walked up and started making conversation.
The girl suddenly grabbed her mom’s hand and whispered,
“I don’t like him.”
The man hadn’t done anything strange.
He was friendly.
He even offered to help the mom reach something from the top shelf.
The mom thanked him but quickly ended the conversation and walked away.
I remember thinking,
“That’s unfair.”

@AndrewLowm87443 @Safety_Concerns @RKBAShackleford @gunrights @bradybuzz @fred_guttenberg Imagine telling all those Marines, soldiers, and the rest of the military that. Feel free to do it face to face, please. You’re so full of stupidity that it just flows right out when you don’t even realize it.

@Safety_Concerns @RKBAShackleford @gunrights @bradybuzz @fred_guttenberg I would say needing to carry a gun because you are such a pussy you cant fight would makes you a big bitch

Today, Jaime Guttenberg would have turned 26, but she's forever 14 because she was senselessly murdered at her high school in Parkland, FL.
We can honor her life by taking action to prevent gun violence. Thinking of her family and friends today, especially @fred_guttenberg. 💜

@RealMattCouch Ohhhhh, so NOW they care about the patients...but not while they were on strike. Derp!

@Jonathan_Hinder Also, you make far more money than I do, so you should give me all your money until this wealth inequality is eliminated permanently. ;)
English

@Jonathan_Hinder Arguing that people should be able to keep what they earn and to be able to defend their property and lives IS the exact moral argument of "the Right", so obviously fewer people than you thought find "wealth inequality utterly grotesque".
English

The Right’s response to a wealth tax is always “but it won’t work!”
What I find interesting is that there is rarely an attempt to argue against it on moral grounds, because they know most people find such wealth inequality utterly grotesque.
There is overwhelming public support for doing something about this - I mean, LOOK at that polling👇👀
So, why don’t we crack on with the most effective and practicable ideas?
We know that a proportional property tax, while a bit less flashy, actually works, so let’s start there!

@japan_nobunaga My parents gave me a BB-gun when I was about 12. I fired my first gun (.22 caliber) around the same age, under my father's supervision. I took my 2 daughters shooting the 1st time when they were around 11-12 years old.

@JedediahBila I went into the army straight out of high school and was stationed in Italy for 2 years. The first thing I realized was that many average looking American women had a huge sense of entitlement (chip on their shoulders), whereas many European (model equivalent) women didn’t.

250 years ago, guns helped win American independence. Today, they're the leading cause of death for American kids.
We traced how we got from one to the other.

@Brcremer So, if the DemoKKKrat party founded the KKK that makes them racist haters?

@Ivo2401 @GuntherEagleman @sophaller Yeah, yeah, while the bullies get free rein with no repercussions. I heard the same schtick from cowardly teachers that wouldn't deal with bullies in school. Deaf dumb and blind until the bully sorting began.
