Originally posted by T. A. Gardner View PostWe no longer take the needs of boys seriously in public schools. When our education system's teachers are 85% + females, there's a problem. When the curricula is geared to what might be called a nerd / female liberal arts one there's a problem.
The result is that many boys in the school system now feel marginalized and that they're not getting anything useful out being there. This and a feeling of general worthlessness is leading to them lashing out..
The fact that women have generally been entrusted to raising and educating children for millennia is irrelevant, and now considered the problem?
On a more serious, why hasn't this seriously stupid piece of misogynistic crap already been pulled. It is incredibly pathetic on moral, historical and intellectual grounds

You really need to check your facts before posting a truly shocking distortion of the true picture.

The USA is closer for murder rates to Kazakhstan and Somalia than the UK.

The National Guard is the Militia of old. It's not a mob running around with guns calling themselves one.
The SCOTUS has resolved the meaning of the 2nd Amendment.
It is a personal right, and does not require membership in a militia.
The belief that the 2nd Amendment requires membership in a state run militia is completely contrary to the whole point of the Bill of Rights.
The Bill of Rights identifies personal rights. There is no need for it to identify a right held by the state. The point was not to protect the rights of the state, but rather to protect the rights of the individuals.
The 2nd Amendment protects the right of the individual to possess arms.
There is no longer anything to debate about that.Avatar is General Gerard, courtesy of Zouave.

Look at the history of just about every mass murder in this country and you will find one thing common to nearly all of them.
No, it is not the gun, or a bathtub full of water.
As information about the perpetrator emerges, a relative confides to a newspaper that the “troubled youth” who committed the mass murder was on psychiatric medications – you know, those powerful, little understood, mind-altering drugs with fearsome side effects including “suicidal ideation” and even “homicidal ideation.”
The article continues with numerous examples including the Columbine killer, Stockton, even the assassination attempt on Ronald Regan.
Until we stop drugging people in order to control their behavior, the side effects from those drugs are going to allow the Devil to do his dirty work“Breaking News,”

I like this bit though; "without the Second Amendment there would be no American Revolution."
Can anyone point out what's wrong with that line? (Hint; which came first? One happened in 1791, the other ended in 1787)

As a law-abiding citizen, I should be able to own anything I want. If I only could afford to own ONE firearm, it would be an AR-15.
Originally posted by Sparlingo View PostWell that's at least an honest argument. Out of curiosity why do you feel that you need to own an AR-15 instead of just a shot gun or handgun? Signed - Curious.My worst jump story:

Egocentrism and megalomania-These are truly despicable attributes.We are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven; that which we are we are; One equal temper of heroic hearts
Made weak by time and fate but strong in will
To strive to seek to find and not to yield.
