Very rarely we have "no choice." At the very least we have the choice of how to react to whatever happens. Sure, our choices are influenced by experience and biology, but we still have choices. Let's accept responsibility for our choices.
@uhroboboy@rand_ecliptic@NBCNews It's a correlation, not a causation. You're statistically more likely to die with a criminal or violent person in your house, and most criminals tend to own guns. But it isn't the gun that makes it more likely you'll be killed.
@podcasting1968@JoeSnowbird@NBCNews Actually, we don't know she meant anything by it ... She most likely misunderstood the name. My last name gets miswritten 99% of the time. As for being hurtful, I got intentionally called slurs a lot in my first 10 years in the US, and I couldn't care less. Idiots are everywhere.
@football_beth @jordanhyunyoung@rand_ecliptic@NBCNews But the article does not state how many of those households with guns belong to people with a known criminal/violent past, thus giving the impression that otherwise law-abiding men are more likely to murder their partners if they have a gun. It's a faulty premise.
@mattmcvilla@NEWSMAX@JamesComer Are you saying I'm a bot and was reported? ๐ I needed a good laugh. Honestly, I couldn't care less if my account got suspended. I only come here every once in a while, what with working 7 days a week thanks to this booming economy. If it does, it does.๐ Got bigger worries.
@mattmcvilla@NEWSMAX@JamesComer Oh please! They're all corrupted, on both sides. Let's not be naive. What matters is whether they better the country's situation or worsen it. This administration worsened it in so many ways. No, I'm not Republican, just fair. So take off your Party hat and assess honestly.
@Ogunjemiluajad@NEWSMAX@JamesComer All politicians are corrupted. I don't expect honesty, but I expect that they don't make the country worse, which this administration has done. And I voted for them, so no, I'm not a Trumpist. He needs to go, and this probe may help with that.
And the virus didn't cause it, btw.
@torrey_rockwell@langleyvideo @ontelopanos @NEWSMAX Ok, so this is how it works: ppl don't want to go to war, those in power do because of "national" & corporate interest. They convince ppl it's for a good cause. We go to war, hate the "villain" of the moment, ppl die on both sides. Blah blah, next war, repeat. It's a chess game.
@torrey_rockwell@caitos3@NEWSMAX I agree with you on this one. But we didn't go to war because we *truly* thought the Iraqi attacked us... That would be naive. ๐ We wanted our foot there, and we would have gone to war regardless. The reason was irrelevant.
@torrey_rockwell@_KJCUE04_ @BlammaDan @NEWSMAX Then maybe we should stop declaring war every few years and stop poking Russia in every way. Also we should stop selling our land, ports and industry to China. Being isolationist requires self-sufficiency, and that went out the door a long time ago, unfortunately.
@BillClatterbuck @JoshSmi83349576 @iammarsalis @OccupyDemocrats This is the biggest case of gaslighting I've seen. Maybe we're living in parallel realities? Paychecks can't keep up with inflation. Got furloughed, like thousands of others across the nation, & had to get a 2nd job in retail to make ends meet. Work 7 days/week & barely scrape by
@Ignominious_Us @adamantNEO@AtheistL01@Paper_Blossoms@DaniRevord You would get the same care today. Miscarriages are not intentional abortions, and are not any more illegal than a heart attack. They are a medical condition that requires immediate attention. If you have a miscarriage today you go to the ER.
@AtheistL01 @Ignominious_Us @Paper_Blossoms@DaniRevord Why would you have to prove it? Nobody is asking anyone to prove it. Where are you getting this idea? And it isn't that easy to abort intentionally on your own, even if you wanted to, especially further into the pregnancy. But again, nobody is questioning women who miscarry.
@AtheistL01@LvlyWords@theplantkilla @Ignominious_Us @Paper_Blossoms@DaniRevord A miscarriage is not a choice. The "anti-choice crowd" says nothing about miscarriages because they are not abortions. If you are afraid of being investigated, don't... It's truly unfounded. If you are telling unfortunate women who miscarried that they should worry, please stop.
@AtheistL01 @Ignominious_Us @Paper_Blossoms@DaniRevord Please don't fear being investigated... Nobody does. It's bad enough you lost your baby without having fears that aren't based in reality. Miscarriages unfortunately happen all the time -- I know of so many! -- and there is absolutely zero reason to think any would be questioned.
@Ignominious_Us @Paper_Blossoms@DaniRevord I'm so sorry you lost your baby! ๐ข But why would you have to prove it? Did anyone ask you to prove it? Miscarriages happen all the time... I know quite a few women who miscarried, but none was ever asked to prove it.
