Going all 'flat is justice' on Facebook is already a pretty fucking bad idea but going so far as to tag flat-chested friends just kicks it up to 11.

Flat chest, or why we don't need women anymore.

probably popular but given how many people I see who obviously don't shower i'm inclined to think otherwise

we had so many dirty fucks at my work that they were forced to put up signs in the mens toilets that reminded people if they'd washed their hands before they left
some of the people who come to work at my supermarket are disgusting as hell
"The government can't be trusted, that's why we need guns to keep them in check. That's what the government 250 years ago said and I trust them!"
The idea that anything can be divorced from politics is ignorant at best and really means "stop bringing politics into my media if your politics don't align with mine."
Of course things can be stretched and you can have shit political analysis(i.e. Star Wars is anti-white propaganda about cuckolding and the LITTLE WHITE CUCK BALL) but you can have good ones too(i.e. Star Wars paints the only choice of governance being fascism or liberal democracy).
All media is a product of the material conditions in which it was created and can't be divorced from the world it was created in.

This is terrible, it could be applied to any kind of checks and balances.
[QUOTE=Kljunas;53166680]This is terrible, it could be applied to any kind of checks and balances.[/QUOTE]
Yes, that's why you use other arguments to justify the presence of those checks and balances, yet the 2nd Amendment seems to get a free pass on this.
But this still doesn't make any sense. There's a difference between trusting that an institution will remain benevolent in the future and trusting (more like agreeing with) someone's opinion on something.

I want to believe this is Poe's Law at work. I really do. But I can't.
Americans need their guns. Their gun violence problem comes from huge wealth inequality and lack of easy health care. If you took their guns away, and we assume an unlikely scenario where it's impossible to get guns illegally, the potential offenders would just switch to stabbing,bludgeoning, poison or the next best way to kill people.
Everyone always goes for the "mental health my dude" angle, but where are all the school shootings in Asia? It's widely recognised that schoolchildren there are subject to way more stress and have more mental health issues than their American counterparts, so why don't we see way more school shootings coming out of Japan, South Korea, or India?

They actually have many, many mass knife attacks in schools and metro stations that bring in similar numbers of casualties

Not really.
You'd advance an actual argument for those things instead of just saying "constitution lol"

Gimme your sources.
As far as I know, my country has none. And we still got pretty shit mental health awareness.

It's not really a matter of guns are cool, it's more of a matter of defending yourself against the government if it becomes tyrannical.

But realistically, how are civilians armed with rifles going to fend off the government, assuming that the military continues supporting tyrannical government?

Same way that Vietnamese rice farmers and Iraqi insurgents did. Guerilla attacks and acts of terror. Besides, 1 guy with a rifle can cause a huge commotion, look how long it took to neutralize the Vegas shooter and how many armed police officers it took.

I understand your point, but to be fair, they were sent to fight a war most people didn't want to fight to begin with, and in a alien environment with a totally different culture and way of life.
"kids will be kids", I do agree with that but there are times and places that they should try not to be.
Also I really dislikes when kids who keeps staring at you and tend to never stop. I call them "the devil children".

Then look at the armed resistance in the Warsaw ghetto, it took the Nazis weeks to stop a small amount of untrained starved people with guns

Well the knife guy's nice in that the option of beating the shit out of him's more likely to work, but police'll respond to a gunshot. Someone can play axe in the dark for a long, long time, but a gunshot reveals that there's a gunner.
Also, If you spent hundreds or even thousands of dollars on a hobby, and some folks really wanted to take your hobby-related stuff away on account of some other dude misusing his, you'd be pissed. It's not a "creepy" obsession, it's a fucking rational reaction.
Republicans being the party that advocate guns whilst advocating economic policies that create problems is really this nice icing of america being a one party system with two faces. "what are civilians with guns supposed to do against military anyway?" Well, the idea is that people in the military defect, civilians might have ex-military with them, or so on or so forth. Battle is more about morale than scoring kills, and someone's more likely to defect to a poorly trained but armed militia than peasants with sticks.
[QUOTE=RichyZ;53167482]vietnamese rice farmers and iraqi insurgents got their weapons from outside sources or from leftover war caches, they didnt have this infectious culture of everyone owning a combat efficient rifle for fun until france/america shat on their doorsteps[/QUOTE]
They did though? It used to be super common for Iraqis to have some sort of firearm, most likely an AK variant

if some civil war happened in the us, people in the military would defect in droves and armories in those defected forts would become places where civis would take up arms to join the fight, as it has been in literally every other uprising known to man[/QUOTE]
And the point of them being left overs? Fighters were armed and took their guns home when they were dismissed
[QUOTE=RichyZ;53167520]the point is that the us hasnt seen a war on its home territory in centuries and that we really do not need to be armed to have some sort of uprising, the proliferation of weapons has only harmed us and made us look like idiots on a world stage
iraq didnt have a strong gun culture until it became a battleground for any country that wanted its resources, the us is pretty much never at risk of any invasion or actual government crackdowns yet people act like theyre in fuckin afghanistan with how they talk about needing every gun on their person to stay alive in the mean suburbs of california[/QUOTE]
So how does an uprising happen without weapons?
