Comparisons

antigovernmentextremist:

  • Columbine: 13 dead
  • Virginia Tech: 32 dead
  • Dark Knight Rises shooting: 12 dead
  • Norway massacre: 77 people killed

Total: 134 dead in mass shootings over the lest decade or so.

  • Great Leap Forward: 45 million dead
  • Holocaust: 11 million dead
  • Pol Pot’s Cambodia: 3 million dead
The numbers are in. Time to ban government.

Also, the latter 3 were all committed against a disarmed populace.

Morgan Freeman’s brilliant take on what happened yesterday :“You want to know why. This may sound cynical, but here’s why.It’s because of the way the media reports it. Flip on the news and watch how we treat the Batman theater shooter and the Oregon mall shooter like celebrities. Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris are household names, but do you know the name of a single *victim* of Columbine? Disturbedpeople who would otherwise just off themselves in their basements see the news and want to top it by doing something worse, and going out in a memorable way. Why a grade school? Why children? Because he’ll be remembered as a horrible monster, instead of a sad nobody.CNN’s article says that if the body count “holds up”, this will rank as the second deadliest shooting behind Virginia Tech, as if statistics somehow make one shooting worse than another. Then they post a video interview of third-graders for all the details of what they saw and heard while the shootings were happening. Fox News has plastered the killer’s face on all their reports for hours. Any articles or news stories yet that focus on the victims and ignore the killer’s identity? None that I’ve seen yet. Because they don’t sell. So congratulations, sensationalist media, you’ve just lit the fire for someone to top this and knock off a day care center or a maternity ward next.You can help by forgetting you ever read this man’s name, and remembering the name of at least one victim. You can help by donating to mental health research instead of pointing to gun control as the problem. You can help by turning off the news.”




Morgan is the king.

GMO

To be honest, there is no way it is possible to label GMO foods. There is no way you can possibly know whether the crop you grow has or has not been pollinated by a GMO crop. Pandora’s Box has opened. There’s no going back. It’s in nature now.

No, but I’d invent it to say “What we have is so good that I want to refer to you as my husband/wife because it means more than boyfriend/girlfriend, it has more of a permanency about it. I want to have a day where our families get together to become one and celebrate. I want us to have the same last name and start a family together. I want to declare my undying love for you in front of everyone we know so they know that they’d be fools to try to come between us.”
If you’re marrying to get the government and lawyers in on it, you’re doing it wrong.

All these “I need feminism” pictures are taking over my dash… I just read one that said “I need feminism because equality isn’t enough, I want control”
so I thought I would make one of my own… :)

One of my followers made this excellent response to the “I need Feminism” phenomenon.
I was thinking of making my own sooner or later. ;)

Legislating Equality

hateforthestate:

Legislating “equality” operates off of the presumption that someone is not equal to begin with. It doesn’t create “equality” it just further perpetuates the mindset that someone is not equal to begin with.
