And abusive in relationships with women (or with other men). I don't think we need to amend the rules for women until we actually start doing this shit.

I LOVE those old sexist ads. I bought a pair of end tables from the thrift store and repainted them and gave htem new handles on the drawer, and I bought special cut glass tops for the tops (It wasn't that bad, each piece of glass was like $15), but I printed out all the most sexist old ads I could find and put them under one of the glass tops. It was a total hit at parties since they were all real and some of them are SO SEXIST, it's just hilarious.

We haven't created a culture that supports men doing what comes natural to them — protecting women and children

And what do women and children need protecting from again? Oh right, other men.

Since Im from Europe, I dont really know what is a law-abiding gun owner, but it is definitly obvious that you are the main problem.

True!The rest of the world uses a different name (which always translates as 'single mother')

" ... the people in northern California know better than God ... "The notion that Jason Whitlock's views are congruent with God's is doubtful at best.

I reckon that when they think about "manhood" they conjure images like Chris and Vin driving the hearse up the slope to confront the armed bigots who don't want that poor old Indian buried in Boot Hill. They probably see themselves as Chris and Vin. Actually, they'd be the armed bigots. They'd agree that Sam wasn't fit to be buried among the "killers, cut-throats and derelict old barflies" who happened to be white.

I'm pretty dam' sure you are not.The usual people on the right are tub-thumping and howling about the things they claim are the cause of mass shootings. It's women getting above themselves and undercutting male pride! It's failure to turn schools into one-entrance fortresses! It's this sick society turning away from God! It's failure to address mental illness!According to Pastor Jack Hibbs just recently, it's all due to the amount of traction the theory of evolution has gained since accredited servant of Satan Charles Darwin published his pernicious books. And schools teach it! Oh, no! "We tell them they're animals ... and this man, this young man, conducted himself like an animal."None of them believe the crap they are talking. All of them know it's the obscenely easy access to deadly firearms. They don't want to limit that access. Since they know they can't propose any other essential cause of mass shootings that makes sense, they just spout causes that don't make sense, and double down after each new atrocity

Everyone's a "law-abiding gun" owner until they murder someone with their gun.

If you participate in the toxic gun culture that makes it impossible for us to make any meaningful change to stop mass shooting, you're goddamned right I blame you.

Sam was probably offended to be there. Also, too, great Magnificent Seven reference.

Just HOW are the NorCal nerds imposing anything on anyone? Nobody is required to be on Facebook or Twitter.

Stroh's was pretty foul. So was Schlitz.

My observation is that the smart ones are the outliers. I am kind of ordinary myself, but I always strive to be at least 10 percent better than I was yesterday. (I'm a bit cautious that way)

Just ordered it. Besides, I was never taught in any way to be horrible or mean to others. whatever harm I have done, I picked it up by myself. It's on me. And it is my responsibility to correct my behavior accordingly. I do not think I am unique in this respect.

Thanks! And yeah, probably. If Sam could've talked I imagine he'd say, "No! Take me to the Indian burial ground. Don't plant me among these heathen savages!"
