So we’re not allowed to advocate for people to defend themselves from masked, unidentified kidnappers because that’s a “cAlL fOr ViOlEnCe”.

Pathetic.

I don’t give half a could fuck what you think you are outside of this forum. Your slavish devotion to enforcing this rule emboldens and encourages the fascists who see it. You help fascists. You are a fascist that’s all there is to that equation.

So you’re a fascist, got it.

There was even a song called Never Go Walking Without Your Hatpin.

To 1, your “example” is a bad faith gotcha based on an insane hypothetical. It does absolutely nothing to prove my argument wrong that everyone would be safer is speeders slowed down to a reasonable speed.

For 2, nearly all highways in the US are set for a speed limit that is both safe for that road and allows for reasonable efficiency of travel. Your example here is once again a bad faith gotcha argument based on insane hypotheticals.

It’s become clear that you have nothing meaningful to contribute here. Have a nice life, I’m out.

What you’re advocating for is allowing entitled psychopaths to set the speed everyone is forced to go because you somehow think that if someone is doing 90 in a 55 and hits someone actually doing 55 that it was the normal person’s fault.

I’m obviously not saying anyone should be doing fucking 10 on the highway, I’m saying nobody needs to be doing more than the speed limit.

Every study we have shows that the roads are safer, there are less crashes and they are less deadly when everyone just goes slower. But apparently you would rather risk getting turned into a rorschach splat than advocate for the thing that actually makes roads safer.

The state of the road in your scenario is already unsafe because of the people doing 75. Every. Single. Study. Shows that there are less crashes and they are less lethal when everyone just slows the fuck down. But none of you entitled fuckwits will accept even the tiniest bit of personal inconvenience for the sake of your own safety and that of everyone around you, so we have to live in fucking Mad Max instead.

This is a bullshit talking point used by psychopaths to try to justify their antisocial behavior. If the people around you are going so fast that just doing the speed limit becomes unsafe, they are the ones wholly responsible for creating those unsafe conditions. They are driving faster than the conditions (and let’s be real, their own ability) would reasonably allow for, they are the only ones that should be held responsible for the consequences of their freakish behavior.

At this point we either fight or accept end of US as a democracy.

I really wish we could stop all the pussyfooting and just get to the actual open conflict portion on the program already. It’s obviously what both sides want at this point, let’s cut the shit and just do the fuckin thing already.

Dammit, now I gotta go get me a sketti.

When the tree of Liberty is thirsty, all hands are welcome that are willing to help in the watering.

Why would they care? It’s not the first red line they’d have crossed. Hell, it’s not even the tenth one this year. This is their new normal, and they aren’t going to stop until we all collectively stand up and make them stop.

It’s an experiment I’ve been trying: if I have nothing to say, I don’t say anything. I’ve found I tend to make myself look like an asshole far less often this way.

Bruh, why your meatballs come with a analog horror filter?

Fillin that whole establishment with uppercut.

All of which effectively means that we have two parties, because no serious candidate is going to run outside of those parties when they know the system is engineered to ensure only those parties actually matter.

I’m just sayin, chaining up pedos in public parks and lettin folks pelt em with rocks and cow shit might help raise morale a little.

Man we really need to bring back public pillory.
