… and? You say that like there’s some kind of dissonance there. Something can be a common ammosexual view and also a good reason not to miss a poster.
Especially when they purposefully post that ammosexual opinion to get a rise out of people.
No, they said that they argued that mass shootings are a price we have to pay for gun freedom. Most pro-gun people do not argue that. They may be against restricting guns, but they still do have ideas about how to stop mass shootings. They don’t just say that it’s worth it.
Condoning mass shootings is a horrible thing, no matter what your reason. If it was a common pro-gun position, that would just mean pro-gun people believe horrible things. Horrible ideas don’t become better if they are common. Many horrible ideas are quite popular, in fact.
No you don’t.
That’s not arguing. Arguing involves taking a contrary position, not the automatic gainsaying of the other’s point of view.
(That was from memory, probably all wrong)
Thank you! Your 5 minutes is up.
Agreed, but it isn’t something special about our not so dearly departed.
Do they? Could have fooled me. Usually they just offer tots and pears while declaring that this is not the time to politicize a tragedy.
I know that’s a typo, but… I can’t help but imagine what meal tater tot’s and pears would be good for. Brunch maybe? High tea? Do we have any British people on the forum who can weigh in? Would tots and pears be suitable for high tea?

These memes, jokes and political cartoons were tweeted after the Parkland shooting. The photo of tater tots and pears plays on the nonsense phrase “tots and pears” – used to spoof what some people see as the ineffectiveness of “thoughts and prayers” messages.
Oh, so not a typo? First I heard.
It’s a meme, not a typo
As for what tots and pears are good for - about the same stuff that thoughts and prayers are good for, IE, nothing.
Did anyone say he was unique? No, although none of the other ammosexuals here expressed that particular view, IIRC.
Tots and pears when used properly can be delicious.
I’m thinking of a nice pork dish with grilled slices of pear with a side of crispy tater tots.
I’m not sure what to think of chappachula in the Ukraine thread. Every week or two, they post something about how awesome Russia is doing, how Ukraine has no hope, and how “today I am sad.” It’s a weird performance.
They’re just relentlessly pessimistic and gloomy. chappachula was quite unhappily certain Trump would win in 2020 and last I saw is quite unhappily certain he’ll win in 2024.
So, Eeyore without being cute.
I don’t think their trolling, but Blaylock just got a temporary topic ban about COVID and masks. The conversation went like this:
Blaylock: Masks don’t work because the holes in the mask are too big
Everyone else: Masks are designed to be electrostatic and can capture very tiny particles. Heck, just look at the filters in your heating system
Blaylock: Here, I looked at the mask with a microscope
Everyone else: So what? It’s about the electrostatic attraction
Blaylock: You all just took the blue pill
Everyone else: Jeez, I wish I could call you a dangerous dumbass outside the Pit!
Hooray, looks like Bootb has eliminated himself, at long last. (see ATMB thread)
Another self-martyr.
Too bad, so sad.
Yeah, just about to post that. The thread will probably join him in the cornfield.
