Never heard this argument before and it’s really thrown me.

Got a lot of thinking to do.
OK back from my thinking. The car argument has totally defeated me, I think guns are great now.

Thank you Francis Waffle for showing me, the way.
More people are giving me serious answers to this than I might have thought.

Thank you for your serious answers, I once again wish to pursue gun control.

Also I now want to ban cars.

Private ownership of guns is only a basic human right in a sick society.

But, when someone walks into a church with a duffel bag full of offensive speech that makes 49 people commit suicide in a few minutes, let me know. I might compromise.
Jones is a good example. Imagine if what Jones did was considered protected free speech (it’s not). What would you think of a society that interpreted the right to speech in that way?

That’s what we have with guns.
Imagine if, after Jonestown, there were more Jonestowns, many more.

Dozens a year.

Imagine if people fiercely defended the option to compel mass suicide as enshrined within their basic human rights.

What would you think of such people?

Government agents, of course. Citizens aren't in charge of enforcing individual laws. What a silly question.

No blood. It sounds like you are willing to spill blood in defiance of laws, though.

Doesn't make me think you should have guns.
Gun nuts talking "are YOU going to come get my guns, tough guy??" hahahaha, no, of course not, do you write parking tickets? how stupid are you anyway
Just can't get over how much this dude seems like he should be able to carry lethal force everywhere he goes.

People who think gun control advocates need to compromise more, realize a key fact:

Gun control *is* the compromise position.

Other countries just have bans, you realize.

Gun control advocates are by definition compromising.

Would YOU like to compromise?
People on the left would do well to realize that in MOST cases our desired policy ends are already the compromise positions, and the requests for further compromise are simply requests to capitulate entirely.

Reject that frame. We're already at the halfway point.
It's a negotiation.

Sweeping gun control legislation at the federal level is the offer.

It's an opportunity to avoid a total gun control ban down the road.

Those who don't want to work on the former are opting for the latter.

That's how this works.

1. Attention people of Twitter, ladies, dudes, and enbys, children of all ages (ok actually not for kids)! Embark with me on a journey into a bizarre parallel world often hidden in plain sight, a dark dimension whose denizens seek to transform our own. Let us enter: #TheJesusZone
2. This is going to be a primary-source-based thread focusing on the evangelical children's book Dinosaurs: Those Terrible Lizards, by creationist Duane T. Gish, who got a Ph.D. in biochemistry from Berkeley in 1953 and died in 2013. But before I dive into it, some background.
3. Most of my threads I write more or less spontaneously from ideas I've worked out in my head to varying degrees. This one I've actually been working on, on and off, for weeks. Taking pictures of the book and organizing them, reading up on the history of creationism in the U.S.

So, That happened
[#JiKook AU]

Jimin is a Beauty Youtuber; but not knowing what look to post in his next video, he takes on the challenge of dating his best friend for 24hrs instead. What happens when Jungkook turns out to be a better boyfriend than he thought?
Heads up:
—> please don’t reply; only quote
—> more narration than social media
—> don’t mind time stamps
—> I apologize for editing mistakes 😔
—>Oh and Jungkook and Jimin are the same age
—>Thank you all for reading, I hope you like it💜💜💜

ok this is gonna sound kind of odd but.
just saw this lady, Dr. Catherine Alicia Georges, from AARP testifying to house oversight committee and im like: "this voice. something about this voice. this accent." ive never heard this lady before but i know this speech pattern/cadence
so i do some googling and yeah, there it is. she's from st thomas, in the virgin islands. she's caribbean. she's one of us. i've heard strong black women with this kind of voice my whole life. catherinealiciageorges.com/home.html
it was this odd, guttural response i felt. like "yep. yep. yep. i know where this voice is coming from. i know exactly the power this lady has. yep yep yep." its like a jedi sensing someone else strong in the force.

Soonyoung shattered.

"Jihoonie!" Soonyoung sobbed hard, wrapping his arms around Jihoon and pulling him close in a blink of an eye. He buried his face into Jihoon's neck as his whole body shook violently, sobs completely wrecking him. "J-Jihoonie, Ji— Jihoon! Jihoonie, J-Ji—"
Soonyoung was sobbing uncontrollably; he kept coughing in between in his sobs, having a hard time breathing as he held onto Jihoon tighter.

"J-Ji— Jihoon," Soonyoung choked out, voice sounding painfully raw and strained but still, he kept calling one name over and over again.
Jihoon held back his own sobs and wrapped his arms tighter around the other, wishing that his hug could mend the broken pieces together and prevent Soonyoung from shattering even more.

"J-Jihoo— hoonie," Soonyoung brokenly cried, pressing his face further onto the other's neck.

45 Days Of @ElvisCostello: a twitter megathread in anticipation of the Oct 12 release date of LOOK NOW, the new LP by Elvis Costello & The Imposters

This is either a bright idea or a brilliant mistake, but this is only, this is only, this is only the beginning...
I did something similar to this 5 years ago, in anticipation of EC & @theroots' Wise Up Ghost LP, on tumblr.

(You can still find all those posts if you look, although a lot of the YouTube links etc are now dead ends. It was 40 Days Of EC then, so for 2018 I'm upping it to 45.)
Mostly I will be going chronologically from the early years right up to the present, but it feels right to start out with Costello's 2002 song, "45."

(There's an alternate "diner" version I can't find anywhere online)

Ok jesus christ, I just saw the latest woke english lesson form NatGeo-Disney.

I am supposed to teach Chinese 8 year olds spanish because we are so woke and multicultural.

Today's words are tio, abuela and abuelo
Disney must be burned to the ground
I think my lesson plans are based on a third grade american english class from national geographic.
While it is harmless to pepper a native english lesson with some foreign words, it is ludicrous to teach 'abuela' to 8 year old Shanghai kids
