I love when church leaders are like “we have the women coming to church every week and that’s great, but we need the men to get more involved!”

Bro, men didn’t even show up to the crucifixion. You really think they’re gonna roll out of bed 2,000 years later?

@BobWulff Thanks Bob! Not a huge fan of Starbucks's super dark roasts, but the other three look great and I'm debating which one to go to. Thanks again.

@BobWulff Hey Bob. I am visiting NYC for a little day trip soon, and I want to go to a good coffee shop. Do you have any recommendations? Probably going to Manhattan, but if there's a 10/10 place in Brooklyn, I might go there instead.

@schwabsauce @justinamash If Smith tries to defraud the American people and calls you "too honest" for refusing to help him, then yes. He will be indicted.

@WatchBigotry @blackmaniac @RightWingCope @negativestatic I don't know why population density causes higher crime. Maybe you could research that. I'm more interested in your original statement that supposedly states without gun control are safer. How is AZ, a constitutional carry state that borders CA, more dangerous than CA?

@oldemptyeye @gehrmanthefirst @RightWingCope @negativestatic Again, the people who sent them to war are the cause. It's not veterans' fault. 1 in 3 veterans are incarcerated. That's outrageous. We need to give them support—not lock them up.

[Alex (🥞) @_alex_finch]

@oldemptyeye @gehrmanthefirst @RightWingCope @negativestatic I agree with politicians like Bernie Sanders who have spent their careers trying to make it easier for veterans to receive health care, opportunities, and housing.

Make no mistake, I do not blame Vietnam veterans for anything. I blame the evil men who forced them to fight.

@WatchBigotry @blackmaniac @RightWingCope @negativestatic I don't mean to be mean. I just don't think your original statement about gun control is correct. It does apply to Montana and California (barely), but there are so many exceptions that I don't believe the rule can be said to generally apply across the United States.

[Alex (🥞) @_alex_finch]

@WatchBigotry @blackmaniac @RightWingCope @negativestatic Also, Washington and Oregon (closer than CA) have almost the exact same homicide rate as Montana in 2021. In fact, in 2020, a MT resident was actually more likely to be murdered than a resident of OR or WA, states that have stricter gun controls laws than MT.

[Alex (🥞) @_alex_finch]

@WatchBigotry @blackmaniac @RightWingCope @negativestatic Also, going along with your original statement. PA has much looser gun control than neighboring NJ and NY, but the homicide rate is nearly double those states. How do you account for that?

[Alex (🥞) @_alex_finch]

@WatchBigotry @blackmaniac @RightWingCope @negativestatic My bad. You did say homicide and not firearm homicide.

That said, do you not account the higher homicide rate in CA for the significantly higher urban population? There is no city with more than 120,000 people in MT. To me, it's actually crazy that MT's rate is so close to CA.

@WatchBigotry @blackmaniac @RightWingCope @negativestatic ?

[Alex (🥞) @_alex_finch]

@oldemptyeye @gehrmanthefirst @RightWingCope @negativestatic What? You think being drafted into wars makes people less violent?

[Alex (🥞) @_alex_finch]

@gehrmanthefirst @RightWingCope @negativestatic Crime peaked in the 80s and has gone down ever since. The exception is this post-pandemic spike we are in right now.

The reasons for the crime drop are often speculated, but nothing is definitive.

One theory that makes sense to me is that war made people more violent.

@ListenHereTwerp @Bluringed @SxarletRed @fracquiao @SocDoneLeft @Mike_from_PA I applaud your patience, sir.

@softwarnet @nypost Yes, the Disney employees love Ron Desantis and Adolf Hitler.

@AveAmericae @richardrahl1086 @jameslpusey @SimpleSCOTUS Also: "Between 70 to 90 percent of guns recovered at crime scenes in Mexico can be traced back to the U.S. Drug cartels, in particular, buy those weapons in the U.S., mostly in Texas or Arizona, and smuggle them across the border." https://t.co/y88s24MPDz

[Alex (🥞) @_alex_finch]

@AveAmericae @richardrahl1086 @jameslpusey @SimpleSCOTUS Then how did Canada do it? They share a 5,525 mile border with the only country in the world that has more guns than people. And yet, somehow their gun violence (and violence in general) is nothing compared to the U.S.

@Wal1868 @jameslpusey @SimpleSCOTUS The first clause can't even exist on its own. It's not a complete idea or thought.
