Keep it in my pants when I do OTC. If I were a stripper it would stand for I like big bucks and I can not lie.
Because she's obsessed with Johnny Depp, my fav brought "Platoon" on DVD over, and we watched it. She was pretty shocked at the scenes of Americans killing civilians and raping a prepubescent girl. She had never heard of My Lai. Is that typical for Millennials and Gen-Zers?
We also watch "Private Resort". Automatic 5-star movie for her because it featured a young Johnny Depp's naked butt. It's not a bad slapstick revival comedy, which you can say is either rare now or made more extreme by Johnny Knoxville. She no comprendoed slapstick, but knew who The Three Stooges were.

And yes, for Millennials history started in 1981 with MTV and Ronald Reagan.

I paraphrase, “those who don’t know history are even more determined to repeat the mistakes history has tried to teach us.”
Unlike the armed forces of the United States, our ranks may not be perfect, but our leadership seeks out and punishes American Soldiers that commit any war crimes.
And the red scare is over. No one buys that shit.

A brief intro to American war crimes
20fag no need to throw a tantrum coz you can't deal with the truth.
And the freedom to say what you want is meaningless when if you try to enact change the gov sends in riot police to attack protesters. Or when you're coerced into validating a 2 party plutocracy by voting for the status quo
I’m not throwing any tantrums that’s all you son.
But Iceefag needs to stop slandering the good people that make up the United States Armed Forces, they don’t play politics the serve honorably for the most part, and we have a very strong leadership, that roots out misbehavior by servicemen in any theatre of operations
Here is who did deserve a medal for actions during the My Lai massacre, and who did get it 30 years too late.

And the military is purely political. It does the bidding of the government for its political and economic interests.
War is government sanctioned murder and the military basically a murderous gang with immunity.
When American troops invade countries the people must be terrified and think the world ended like when medieval peasants faced invading vikings or Mongols.

The left says if abortions are banned, they will still happen but will forced to be offered by illegal back channel providers
Yet, they don’t say the same thing about guns. They seem to claim if guns are made illegal all the gang related and mass shootings will magically disappear
If you wanna discuss war crimes, let’s about your Commie Russian pals
They raped 2 million women in WW2
The Green party, like most progressives, has the luxury to fulminate on every issue, knowing no sane politician will ever implement their crazy proposals.
Don't they say something about doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result, that's what the green party is.. LOL
Correct - well thought out comment
I’m not a gun owner so actually I don’t really care either way - I just don’t buy the argument that guns are at fault and if made illegal we are going to have a utopian Society
The Green Party is an amalgam of different interests. Stronger in Europe.
No one says that total gun control would eliminate all guns and gun crimes.
Abortion is something a woman may decide she needs to do. If it is illegal then it is harder.

In their unguarded moments, modern Democrats confess that they would end private firearms ownership if they could. They're getting bolder about it. The "no one is coming to take your guns" is interspersed with comments about the feds having bigger guns than you, or Beto's "hell yes we're coming for your AR-15."
Constitutional rights are not up for debate or negotiation.
25, I think the whole thing is a difficult problem.

1. What is an "assault-style rifle"? Until a few years ago, that meant a rifle with select-fire capability. Now as far as I can tell it's an inflammatory term made up by Dem politicians looking to ban them. Now they're calling them "weapons of war" (even further from the truth). What they are is magazine-fed center-fire rifles. That some of them can accept a bayonet lug or a grenade launcher (LOL) doesn't alter their primary function or lethality. I own a magazine-fed center-fire rifle that can accept a legal pre-ban 30-round magazine--it isn't of the AR-15/AR-10 style though. I don't know what that makes it, other than a lot of fun to shoot.
2. While I keep my firearms ready at my bedside for home defense (I've trained CCW enough to know I wouldn't be much good in that situation, LOL), the 2A isn't about home defense, it's about resisting a tyrannical government. The implications of that are unsettling to modern minds, that we should have access to any arms the military has. I'm willing to compromise somewhat here, which makes me a "squish" or a "pussy" in the minds of many other gun owners.
3. As far as "something needs to be done," I had an epiphany talking to a German coworker on my recent trip (I didn't go there just to FKK, y'know). She and her husband don't see our regard for 2A, but they owned guns for self-defense while they lived here (Bay Area CA and Daytona Beach FL a couple years each). I told them, "maybe you do understand why so many of us own guns." No one wants to be the only one without them.
Fact is, some time in our history, before our lifetimes, Americans decided the ability to resist tyranny was worth the tradeoffs--whether urban drive bys, firearm suicides, mass shootings--and now that the gun genie is out of the bottle, we can't just magic all the guns out of circulation. As a matter of fact, in a PoliceOne survey in 2013, over 70% of police and sheriffs said they would _not_ go door to door confiscating guns.
The problem isn't the firearm, kids carried rifles openly to school in the 50s and 60s and these mass shootings were unheard of. There are more firearms than ever in circulation, but they're in fewer hands--more collectors, fewer (mostly rural) people who use them day-to-day.
The problem is the culture. Unfortunately, we can't magically inculcate a respect for authority, two-parent households, etc. All these attempts to build self-esteem and insulate them from adversity haven't worked. I would support raising the age of purchase of magazine-fed weapons to 21, as well as a robust red flag procedure (as someone who's dealt with his own mental illnesses, I see this as a positive), and monitoring of social media. It seems like every mass shooter has told everyone what he's going to do and often when/how he's going to do it. And for the media, blacking out the guy's name and not giving them the fame they want.
All in all, though, mass shootings are like terrorist attacks. Our fear of them is way out of proportion of the danger they represent.
"Tetradon, the Jan 6th protestors and Trump tried to stage a coup."
LOL, such a coup that they didn't bring a single gun into the Capitol. Viking helmets and selfie sticks. Pictures with Nancy Pelosi's podium.
Please bring Jan 6th to the voters. Meanwhile outside of your internet world, gas hit $5, inflation is at a 40 year high, there's a 32 mile immigrant caravan headed to the southern border, crime is spiking, mothers can't find formula for their babies, and Biden is 15.5 points underwater.
The danger they represent is to completely unarmed and unsuspecting folks, and the truth is this is no less a terrorist attack than any other unprovoked attack anyplace in the world. lots of decent folk are shot in unprovoked attacks in settings they never would have suspected they were in danger, if this is the world we are to leave to our children all I have to say is wow just wow.
Now we have to use progressive income and wealth taxes to get that money back.
Jan 6th was a planed and direct attack on our democracy. And no they didn't use guns, it revolved around a traitor in the White House.
SJG
And like any other terrorist attack, it is much less a threat than an ordinary car accident, or an inner-city gang shooting. We are drawn to spectacular though low-probability events.
"High inflation is caused by the idiotic bail out payments made by the leaders of both parties."
Really, go to the voters with that. Statute of limitations on blaming the last guy has run out. And guess what, it was a blessing in disguise to run Trump off Twitter, he hasn't been able to irritate the populace in a year and a half. Dems own this, and all the Jan 6 legerdemain in the world won't distract the American people from what hits them in the face every day.
Trump unleased an extreme fascist tendency which is in our populace. It is fanned by Fox News and by other stuff further to the Right on the Internet.
SJG
The left has cried "fascist" about every major conservative in my 40+ years. Boy who cried wolf.
Banning guns is irrelevant to the abortion debate unless you consider women as inanimate objects there for your pleasure and to control.
The Trumpist terrorists are well terrorists and traitors. Its ironic how the US supports violent insurrection abroad and not at home though. Terrorists storming the capitol get better treatment than civil rights protestors.
Still the same broken economic system and hard to deal with that.
Best is to pass his Build Back Better and his upper income tax hikes, as well as the Green New Deal.
THis stuff starts us moving the direction we need to.

Don't know where you're getting Biden's "economy running again" when we're likely in stagflation and the Green Leap Forward only dials that up.
SJG
The reason they get _any_ votes is because the people voting for them know they have no chance in hell.
Tripling the federal budget during a time of 40-year-high inflation is Smoot-Hawley level stupid.
Him and Manchin have the same donors....thus why Biden never fights him
