“Britain’s worst attack on children occurred in 1996, when 43-year-old Thomas Hamilton shot 16 kindergarten pupils and their teacher dead in a school gymnasium in Dunblane, Scotland. The U.K. subsequently banned the private ownership of almost all handguns.”
It’s like they know that one of our major problems is that capitalists have destroyed all our manufacturing and sent all of our production jobs overseas thus weakening our economy our society and our National Defense. Yet instead of doing anything about it they just do this thumb their nose bill that does nothing. Kind of like a fuck you to the entire country.
I’d really like to see who drafted this bill and a who the share holders in the company that will be making these flags are. My gut says they are the same people.
I didn’t mean Walz in particular is socially conservative. I meant that when people say midwesterners are sensible in general, they mean “not a bunch of weirdos like on the coasts.”
Ah, ok. Yeah, I didn't grok that from the original post.
To still provide something of a counter point, I think the urban rural divide exists as much in the coastal states as it does in the midwest. These attitudes exist to greater it lesser degrees pretty much anywhere you go. On balance though, there is a lot more corn in the midwest than in the coastal states, if you catch my meaning.
I'm sorry that that's been your experience. Hopefully you at least remain open to having your mind changed about it. There really are quite a lot of us who contradict that sentiment.
I live in Ireland and I like McDonalds occasionally. But there is no doubt that there food is quite expensive and they aren’t innovating. Once a month there will be some new burger which is usually just the same as a normal burger but with bacon or bbq sauce or some shit but it’s just boring and lazy marketing. What is worse than the food is the entire ordering experience - those bullshit kiosks are very time consuming and aggravating to use and then because they’re cutting staff you can look forward to a 5 or 10 minute wait for food to appear. I remember when I worked in McDs at peak periods you’d get your food almost as soon as you ordered it (unless it was a grill item) but not any more.
Is it pretty common to have a governor lieutenant governor be of different parties? I’ve never heard of that before. Of course where I live the Republicans have controlled pretty much every state office for 40 straight years. Yet they still try to run on how shitty everything is…
It is uncommon. North Carolina is a weird state when it comes to politics, and it’s impressive that cooper has been as popular as he has been in the state.
I remember reading about a guy who got on the list because he got blackout drunk and peed on a fence. At something like 2AM. That fence? Happened to be an Elementary school fence. So his life got destroyed because he peed in the wrong place, while too drunk to even know where he was, even though there were absolutely no children in the area to “harm” at the time of the incident.
I am all for strong laws that put large barriers between actual pedophiles and children. But current laws are hoovering up far too many people who are not pedophiles in the least.
