the world’s slackening grip on reality

Journal by c0lo

(in the loving memory of Runaway1956, who succumbed after a long battle to gatewaypundits. May his brain rest in peace, squeaky clean and smoothed over)

because "Doing your own research" is far easier nowadays than building the habit of thinking critically.
Add COVID-anxiety, a chaotic narcissistic Orange clown and compound with the lack of survival problems to solve for the everyday life in a westernized society and (where appropriate) a good dose of American exceptionalism.

    Then you can go live in a state with abortion and no guns, or vice versa. What's the problem?

    Wiow. That sounds an awful lot like arguments I've heard about the civil war. The South was merely fighting for the right of a region to govern its own affairs and run their economy as they saw fit.

    About guns: I don't want there to be NO guns. As I said somewhere, some democrats own guns. What I want is for crazy people to not have guns. And maybe a minimum level of marksmanship, just as a drivers license requires a minimal level of driving competency.

    About abortions. I would prefer that there be no abortions ever. But I recognize that sometimes there are circumstances where a family is faced with a horrible decision. Like late in a pregnancy. If a women is waiting until late in the pregnancy to have an abortion, then it is obvious that she intended to give birth, and something has gone horribly wrong. A tragedy for the family. The government should stay out of it, and leave it to the doctor and the family to deal with. Someone who simply uses abortion as a form of birth control doesn't wait until late in the pregnancy and put themselves through all of the physical discomforts.

    So youve got no real solutions in mind. Just want to force your lifestyle on everyone else. No different than the religious freaks.

      My lifestyle involves hunting and despatching deplorables. They made a documentary about it, called, "Columbine". Maybe you saw it. Not forcing my lifestyle, just targeting deplorables. World is better off, I am happy, win-win situation.

        So, you're an abortion doctor?
