@Mum,
That is less a dumb elder, and more of a general asshole. And yet you describe him as “normal”. Sadly, I agree - I would say about 80% of elders I knew would hit their wife and children.

Dumb Elders
by minimus ini knew a few pretty intelligent elders .
sometimes i would wonder why they remained as elders or even witnesses because they were successful men who made a good living and were highly respected because of their qualities.. that is a rather small group.
most elders that i know of aren’t the brightest bulbs in the sky.

Is it possible for any Country to have “Reasonable” Gun Laws? What would they be?
by pistolpete inso the new biden/harris gun policies are starting to appear.
it’s not clear yet, what they will be.. some suggestions; confiscate all guns.------buyback programs in each state.. there is much talk on social media that if this happens, the pandemic, + all the riots, + all the damaged property, + all the annual murders in america, - put together-will be like a sunday afternoon picnic, compared to all the deaths and property damage that will result because of “civil uprising” by millions of 2nd amendments advocates and just plain gun lovers.
americans love guns!.

More guns equals more safety
More assault guns equals more safety
More grenade launchers equals more safety
More flamethrowers equals more safety
More nuclear bombs equals more safety.
Where does this logic break down?
There are net effects. This is the same one-step, one-layer, monomaniacal logic that’s applied to just about everything these days, even COVID.
All of these weapons are, in one shape or form, equalizers. A woman walking through a dark parking lot is approached by a rapist. Are you really saying that she should feel safer because your regulations made it harder for him to get a gun? What if she knows for a fact he doesn’t have a gun? Is that any better? Is that going to prevent the rape? Sadly, it’s probably more accurate to assume that your preferred regulations would make it difficult for the woman to get a gun, but since the rapist is willing to rape in dark parking lots, he doesn’t really care about your stupid regulations, and is therefore more likely to be armed.
Or how about my neighborhood’s situation? How can decent people fend off leftist mobs? With sticks? Maybe, with the press of your miracle gun-go-away button, you can get a leftist mob without guns. Great. How the fork does that help? It doesn’t.
Less guns, less effective deterrent. You may think your society is safer, but on net, it’s not.
I suppose a world without any guns at all, nuclear weapons, crime, government, or roving mobs of leftists would be safer. But that’s fantasy land. Utopia is not for this world, and will never be.
Good lord - “assault guns”? Dare you to try and define that one.

Stefan Basil Molyneux is a Canadian far-right white nationalist, white supremacist, podcaster and banned YouTuber, who is best known for his promotion of conspiracy theories, scientific racism, eugenics, and racist views.
No he is not. ... except the part about being Canadian. That part is true. And being banned from YouTube - except that is more like a badge of honor these days. And it’s only half true, since all his videos still get uploaded to YouTube under a different account.
This has come up time and time again, even on this forum. Prove it. Quote him - in context. He has an entire series of videos stepping through these claims one at a time. If you went searching for a smear site, they are all out-of-context bull shirt.
But even if all your baseless claims were true, how does that change the substance of the argument above?

I remember some elders privately joking that this thing had been “ handled”.
Ha ha. An unfortunate choice of words.

Nurses are unwilling to take the COVID-19 Vaccine
by adjusted knowledge ini work at two separate hospitals and most of the rns i work with have stated they won't take the vaccine.
i've read a report that 1/3 of rns will refuse the vaccine.
for those in other countries do you see this being an issue or is it more an american phenomenon?.

I remember at elder’s school, a former Bethelite couldn’t take it anymore and announced to the instructors and fellow elders that he was a chronic masturbator and he had to express his guilt over his “secret sin”. You could’ve heard a pin drop.
Ha ha. Nice. I feel like I would have wanted to publicly ask him what his definition of “chronic,” in this context, meant.
Did he also think his vice was becoming noticeable, as each time he went to the eye doctor, he came away with a higher prescription?

Is there a clip of him saying this? I would like to add it to my funny video collection, right next to Swalwell’s public CNN fart, and Nelson Mandela’s funeral sign language translator.

Seems like it might be a bad idea to give it to the most critical people first, eh?
Yes! Exactly. #government
I vote for all politicians being injected with it first - we can totally spare them.

I heard reports that the vaccine has a high rate of anaphylaxis. You can’t get this vaccine at, say, the drug store down the road. You have to get it at a hospital, surrounded by epipens. Then you go home and are horribly sick for a week, even though contracting the virus has a much higher probability of being symptomless.
I am perfectly content letting others give it a try first. Actually, I would prefer ALL politicians take it first as an example. If something goes wrong and they platz ... or grow a third nipple... well, the world would be better for it.
