Nice of her not to include the trips to and from the shops, walking to the kitchen, taking it out of the shopping bag, pressing buttons on the microwave, putting it in and taking it out the microwave. And what if it's put in the fridge first? More time spent sorting that out. All while that Mac and Cheese just sits there with it's taunting claims of readiness! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean yes, I agree with what you said but I don’t think he needed 4 officers to arrest him or the 10? Taser shots. The officer who initially responded was really patient with him but I do think that perhaps the force to bring him down was excessive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

badgerx16 Posted 6 March, 2023 Share Posted 6 March, 2023 Just watched the whole John Stewart program. At the end of the interview with the Oklahoma Senator he asks "Does training with guns make you safer ?", to which the Senator replies "Yes". JS then aks "And you would remove that as mandsatory ?", "Yes". "So you are making us less safe ?", "No". JS concludes with "Are you familiar with logic ?". Earlier in the show they say that in States that reduce controls on gun ownership the rate of per capita gun deaths increases, including the rate of civilians shot by Law Enforcement. Yet the answer is more guns and less regulation. Lunacy. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hypochondriac Posted 7 March, 2023 Share Posted 7 March, 2023 As a Brit, I will never understand Americans who are rabidly pro gun. The John Stewart clip above is interesting. It's a shame he had to bring drag queen stuff into it because you can quite clearly be against children hanging out with drag queens and think that more guns making you safer is insane.

My Dad moved there when I was 13. I had the chance to join him when I finished my A levels. This was 1980s Wisconsin. I was put off with the obsession with guns (and drive through banks but that's another story). Needless to say I haven't regretted my decision once.

His point wasn't really about drag queens, it was a wider one that if you can infringe right to free speech in order to protect children from a non deadly threat why cant you act to protect them from the leading cause of child death?

I'd have had a bit more sympathy for that argument if he hadn't made an entire show last year about the problem with white people. It's hard not to see him bringing drag Queens into it as some sort of defence. You're right on your first point though. It's unrealistic to expect America to give up guns so at the very least they should be regulated. Edited 8 March, 2023 by hypochondriac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
