Lmao, not really trying to act smart. It seems like someone correcting you can really "grind your gears". lmfao, you seem pretty pissed bro. I suggest you see a counselor for that. So, bye.

Oh and yeah, the letters E and A are so close to each other on the keyboard right? Pfft, yeah I think not. Just accept your mistake and move on.

Really? I am dreaming? Can someone be this ignorant?(Rhetorical question.) First of all, A and E are close to eachother, E is diagonally eachother, they're diagnal to eachother. So when I'm typing very fast on my phhones, I'm bound to make a few mistakes every now and then.

Seriously, you proved my point once again when you said A and E aren't close to eachother.

K, Cool.

How is it proven bullshit, if it was just on the news this morning.

Proof of alien life on the Philae Comet also popped up on the news earlier this month. Unsurprisingly, that turned out to be false.

And there's also the fact that the mini-Ice Age article was already proven wrong based on multiple studies.

And actually nah, they say 3.1 million years until the sun turns into a red giant. 5 billion for it to become a nebula.

Who's "they"? Because it certainly ain't NASA.

Damn, I remember watching it first launch back when I was a high school freshman...good times. It's mind-blowing to see how far we've come since then.

russia don't want no beef (they want beets). but no, really: they aren't itching for WWIII. they want an unstable region they can fuck with to get a reaction out of when things don't go their way. it's sort of like insurance to prevent nato or the eu from pushing too close, or making unfavorable moves. "do this, and ukraine burns!!! we'll piss off the rebels!!!"

One was prevented IN MY AREA. Something needs to be done NOW. These shootings are rapidly becoming more and more often.

The House of Reps passed a bill preventing states from requiring GMO labeling on foods.

Fine by me. The less stigma GMO's get, the better.

[Finalwar22]

I swear to god if someone even thinks banning guns will solve this..

You guys thought I was stubborn in my viewpoints before...

Believe me I know the feeling.

Yes. Because then that'll just turn it into an illegal market.

Really, banning guns may of worked if this was done way back in the day... But now guns are too common among the public.

[Noble Saber]

The right to bare arms in reality means I have the right to wear sleeveless shirts.

[Finalwar22]

Even if guns are banned what's to keep people from using homemade bombs? Or a knife? Or some other weapon? Even if someone tries to ban guns I can guarantee that there will be protests.

On the subject of guns in America:

I wouldn't care for a total ban at all, but I don't think that what we're doing right now is working, either. I think I could back a 10-15 detachable magazine/clip limit, increased background checks, and a national may-issue concealed carry policy, as a start. Sorta kinda like Canada.


Yeah, I know I'll get flak for "sacrificing freedom for security", but in the end, some sacrifices must be made, or else one day Americans will tire of all the massacres and the NRA's "never compromise" schtik, and gun rights may very well end up a thing of the past. Either sacrifice some freedom for increased security, or else you will loose all of the former.

That's just my opinion on it, though.
