In my first post here, I was only responding to what a senator said in response to a Trump quote about the legal age of buying a rifle. You disagreed with me...and told me that I have "no clue" about your type of "living". You don't know a thing about me...but you presume to tell me what I "know", or "don't know". When was the last time that I've ever tried to pigeon-hole you?

I've played the "victim card" with you? When? I don't remember EVER tangling with you here...OR in the horse-forums. Refresh my memory.
I'm no "victim", my friend. Stop believing that you "know" people...when you really don't.

No, it proves liberals are not responsible for the end of western civilization as is proclaimed here all the fr**kin time.
Actually there are many explanations, an interesting one is the banning of leaded gasoline and paint.

And there is little doubt you've had your share of lead paint.

Firearms expert Debbie Wasserman Schultz says we need to ban the sale of rapid-fire magazines to civilians.

I'll agree that its not really a political spectrum issue but more of a technological, pharma, medical, societal issue as a whole.
We've entered in to an interesting era of moral relativism as well. (Again not on the political spectrum.)

Since the Turnip ran, this off topic board (with exceptions) has disintegrated, mostly led by hatred of the left. How many threads have started disparaging liberals? The craziness of the tin foil contingent is impossible to deal with because of the alt right news sources presented as real news. It's like arguing with tobacco executives swearing to the "healthfulness" of cigarettes.
I brought up a real concern of leaded gasoline affecting primarily our young and one poster here thinks my post was a symptom of me breathing too much leaded vapors.
Moral relativism has been used by the religious types to argue against non believers ignorant of many philosophers who fall into the "humanist" camp have strongly believed in universal moral standards, exactly the opposite of relativism. A few examples of such thinkers might be: Immanuel Kant, John Stuart Mill, and John Rawls.

No, but according to CNN, it will probably turn it into a "full semi-automatic" rifle.

Are you blind, extremely biased or both? I have never in my life heard a politician condescend and bad mouth the other side as often as Obama. I guess you were ok with that? Now it is the other side's turn and you can't deal with it. I sure hope you were one of those I saw balling their eyes out on election night. That was so awesome, freaking hilarious.
