Anyway, this is off topic. We should get back to something politics-related. Perhaps something related to schools, if that is what we want to discuss.


i just wanted to clarify whether you were saying you hate cowards and the oh so strong ethics at your school regarding fighting despite your own lack of experience in the matter

inability to relate to the lives of others has a serious political effect, i find

Better question:

Why not? Think about owning an operational M1 Garand. The feel of it, the smell of it.

Quite an intelligent troll, too.

Just because I disagree with you on several fundamental topics, it does not mean I am a troll!

According to the aforementioned half a year group, yes, and they were inherently hilarious too.


were you ever, at any point, convinced you were in actual fact a gay jew

because i can see how a random kid becoming convinced they are a gay jew could be seen as humourous

Weak justification for legalising the ownership of literal killing machines.

This is why my posts to you will come across as aggressive (mostly because they are).

You hold all these ideals, that have been fed to you by your surroundings and your family, yet you keep admitting that you've never had to live any of those ideals, or follow the advice you mete out.
You just have your opinion, it's right because it's yours, and everyone who that opinion applies to can get fucked and march in lockstep.
It's an attitude I find astounding, and it sums up everything I despise about stereotypical people with wealthy backgrounds.

Because Moctina, you are a stereotype.
Please don't be a stereotype.

Why?

Because there is no good argument against the basic suggestion.
There isn't.

There are many excellent arguments, many I'd probably agree with, against how such a suggestion could be implemented. Adopt US gun laws? I'd rather jump in front of a train and inconvenience some commuters.

1. Those weapons are highly secured, and the point of having nukes is to be so scary as to never need to use them.
2. Would would get to elect who gets rifles? No.

honestly war isn't cool. it's really sad. my granddad saw his best friend die in front of his eyes and never talked about the war and when he became nuts he would start repeating war stories and forgetting his own family members.

that doesn't mean that his collection of wartime medals aren't my most treasured collection, however. because i am mixed race and the nazis would have gassed me and i have been in their gas chambers in real life (its actually really creepy irl). but also more than that because to me they represent a sacrifice made, one that nobody really wanted to make but had to anyway, for a whole collection of principles that i also think are more important than my own life, if i had to choose.

war is bad. horrific. awful. but it is sometimes better than the alternative.

Agree with absolutly everything youve just said, my dad teaches me to hate those people.
