This is so freaking real. Some old folks seem to want that kids just stay still in silence like a furniture when they’re bored. No playing outside cuz “is annoying and dangerous”, not playing with their phones cuz “is unhealthy and dangerous”.
What the hell should they do then?!
I remember quite a few adults telling me that children should be seen, not heard when I was little. It was popular and sucked.
My ex step mom (may she rest in piss) favorite saying. She said that shit all the time.
Few others I don’t hate people, I hate their actions. (She had a lot of hate)
Actions Speak Louder then Words (only good saying I took from her)
She would say these things at least once a day. But always hated the seen but not heard one. Because I was an active kid and couldn’t be ignored.
You have my sympathies.
Id offer you a hug but im too irony poisoned to figure out hiw to write the offer in such a way that it doesnt come off as mocking.
No need she died last month and apparently was just as hateful at the end as she was in lif. So no big loss.

Thanks, never knew about that guy. Wow.
They want them to go toil in the mines
Does that count as playing outside?
We do more mountain top removal than underground mining these days.
So fresh air and sunshine! Seems like perfectly good leisure to me!

Get a job
The real answer.
Invest in real estate.
Die, i think, given our position on climate change. Kids shoukd die,
We should all collectively commit suicide, and these damn kids should shut the fuck up while we do.
A lot of people just hate kids. It’s a big problem
So this reminds me of when I was taking my CCW class and going over hypotheticals and legal ramifications.
One scenario was you see a kid opening your fridge would you shoot the kid. Now there was a church group there that was also taking the class with us and a few of them raised their hands and one was called.
His answer was yes.
My group I was with all looked at each other and went WTF and just shook our heads, raised our hands and went of freaking course not because morally it would be soooo wrong even if it was legally okay.
I’m from Texas and can count the number of responsible gun owners with one hand. I understand why we need to be armed; still there are a lot of people that shouldn’t. Your story reminds of that shooting that happened at a church that happen to have the good guy with a gun tm. There was some talk about allowing some people to be armed at the church I was going to with my parents at the time. Some members and the pastor went to some event with a lawyer talking about some stuff around it and I joined out of curiosity. The overall meeting was pretty mehh, but there was a nice tangent about how much you can drink and still have your gun and ammo. Some cop that was in attendance tried to call them stupid, but they pushed back that its okay if you only drink such percent drink per hour or remove the receiver. Not a great look for the cream of the crop.
I understand why we need to armed;
I don’t. Why?
Because in America things like the Tulsa Race Massacre happen a fair bit, and the cops either stand by or join in, so you have to be able to defend you and yours.
Remember folks, armed minorities are harder to oppress.

That’s why we hear of all those cases were ICE agents are shot by the people they bully. Oh wait… we don’t.
No but we do hear about things like this
I’d join them in a heartbeat as a minority and you’ll notice that they didn’t go and randomly shoot people either.
Because those people weren’t armed.
Edit: and if that wasn’t true, why are the racists trying to disarm them?
Because we need to be able to defend ourselves and our communities from fascism and others who want to oppress us. Easier said than done of course.
Unfortunately the definition of fascism varies depending on who you’re talking to. There are an astounding number of people in this country who think that allowing abortion or gender affirming care are a form of fascism. And they think it’s alright to use guns to fight what they perceive as fascism.
So how many ICE agents did you already shoot?
Not enough
So what you wanted to say was not a single one right? And you surely are not going to any time soon, just as any other guy that parroted those talking points over the last couple decades.
You wouldn’t believe it. Still not something to post in a public forum.
Have you recently watched the news? Looks like it’s not working.
I have and that does not mean we won’t need to arm ourselves for our defense.
Nazis everywhere
Not according to the bible. Elisha called bears to maul kids for making fun of his bald head.
Is this about the kids that got shot playing ding dong ditch the other day?

There was another one where the guy got in his car, chased them down, and ran them off the road. 3 murder charges over a doorbell.

Sadly yes
To be fair it was a millenial (42 year old) who did that. Still horrible. But yeah.
Replace the gun with a car.
How much of the “outside” can a kid access today without taking the risk of being it by a car ? As soon as he crosses the door of the house he risks his life.
I don’t understand how we accepted that as normal.
Now compare that with a carless world, kids could go everywhere.
Abduction or aggression are still a risk but almost insignificant compared to the risk of being hit by a car, yet this is the one we are talking about.
Bad straw man, bad.

I did this a lot as a kid. One time I went too far and my neighbor threw me up on a fence. He told me if I ever did it again, he would whip me with a belt.
Jesus Christ! That’s ridiculous. I am so sorry.
I kinda deserved it. We were doing that shit at 2 am.
meme is killing it.
hey uhhh…you tink da gun sto still open?
Ding Dong ditch was knocking or ringing the doorbell and hauling ass away. These dipshits were beating and kicking on the door in a state where you can legally shoot through the door. Agree or disagree with that but if you live there you shouldn’t be so stupid.
