    That wiki article makes your country seem like a pretty cool place. I think I'll try to visit someday.

    Which country are you from? Those percentages seem very low so I'm curious.

    There's just so much stigma attached to these things. I think part of the only reason that the war on drugs is starting to become more and more criticized is not because it's such a fucking catastrophe but that it's a catastrophe which is beginning to affect everybody in some way. Only when the number of convicts and issue of recidivism begins to affect everybody will any movement begin to form.

    Oh man, I've written my fair share of papers / speeches about the need for prison reform and other ways to lower recidivism. It's a criminally overlooked issue that's only going to get worse the longer we sit around ignoring it. The push to legalize marijuana is certainly a big help though and I've been seeing more and more mainstream criticism about the war on drugs(minorities) but god damn are we behind when it comes to this shit.

    I think more often than not most defensive shootings aren't particularly newsworthy just like most offensive shootings aren't either. This one certainly is though, at least to me.

    Your comment about limiting (really just stripping) gun rights of felons got me thinking though. It puts a bad taste in my mouth that just because someone is a felon, they could lose even one of their constitutional rights. I don't believe that anybody under any circumstances should lose their rights but the argument that violent felons shouldn't have the right to bear arms is pretty sound. With that being said, I would really just prefer that gun rights not be something granted by the federal government (i.e. the constitution) but rather granted by the states so that no rights granted by the constitution would be able to be taken away. This is just an opinion I have, not something I think is feasible. But again, my views on our constitutional rights are that if any one of them is able to be taken away for any reason, then it shouldn't be considered a right in the first place.

    Yeah but if you ask 10 different people what they think the gun controversy is then you might get 10 different answers. So I was wondering what the OP's thoughts are about it.

    I'm of the opinion that any post should be allowed so long as the user explains why they're choosing to share that content and maybe pose an open ended, discussion-based question because that tends to get people contributing which prevents the problem of multiple low-effort, commentless posts.

    So a guy at a park loses a fist fight and then returns with a gun and starts firing at, I presume, the victor when children are present. He's a total piece of shit and his death isn't surprising but the title makes it seem like he was targeting children when that is not the case.

    Kudos to the CCW bystander.

    Joining the military. I was a college burnout sick of working retail and was scared and anxious about my future. I felt like I couldn't breath and was barely hanging on most of the time. I joined mainly for the stability that the military would provide and needed time to think about what I want to do with my future. Since joining I've made progress toward my degree that I've finally been able to settle on - completely paid for by the government, saved up thousands of dollars, met my beautiful wife, purchased a house and a dog with her, and am fully enjoying life.

    Yes, there is plenty to gripe about when in the military but the benefits are more than worth it to me.

    There are a lot of aggressively confrontational people as well. Like, it's just normal to be over-defensive / aggressive over an innocuous comment.

    I don't like cauliflower mash (it's a texture thing) but my wife loves it. They sell cauliflower rice in the frozen veggie section at most grocery stores though.

    Well they would rather the most-seen comments consist of jokes and memes instead of actual negative criticism. Plus it's great PR to be guilding them and joking right along side of them.
