@schwulest@even_steven8tht I’m pretty sure this has more to do just with how people act online. I’m 21, and when I was in high school and middle school people were making very offensive jokes all the time. Nobody would have cared if a guy had aids written on him
@doomercore I don’t understand this. Why would you not tell your husband what you want and what makes you feel good, and why wouldn’t the husband be trying to do this and make his wife happy
They want to ban abortions because, from their perspective, abortion is in and of itself a moral wrong that they don't want to happen. So even if a minority of people will still be able to get one illegally, reducing the total number of abortions is still a positive with no downsides.
But, You don't want to ban guns because it's inherently wrong in and of itself to own a gun, You want to ban them as a preventative measure to stop shootings. So in their logic, the type of person who's already willing to commit crimes with a legally owned gun will also be willing to illegally obtain a gun to commit crimes with. So banning guns won't be able to significantly reduce gun crime, but it will have a major downside of unarming law abiding citizens from defending themselves.
You might disagree with the accuracy of some of this, like whether abortion is morally wrong, how much gun control actually does reduce gun crime, etc., but I don't think these two beliefs are obviously contradictory.
@Provokethoughtz Regardless of whether you agree with them, I don't think there's necessarily a big contradiction Within the logic of someone who wants to ban abortion but doesn't think guns should be banned because criminals will still be able to get them illegally.
@oubagaku He’d do stuff like In the middle of class, he’d put his head down in his arms and act sad, cause he knew his crush would come over and check on him and comfort him
@oubagaku This is a bit different, but it reminded me of a story I haven't thought about in years, where this guy I knew in middle school would fake being depressed to get attention from girls.
