depends... there ARE conservatives that can think for themselves... not that many but they exist

2018-02-16 22:27:19 UTC  

but yes, both have the tendency to sound like parrots

2018-02-16 22:27:38 UTC  

its Optimists vs Pessimists

Progressives see changes as "It MIGHT work, we better try it"
Conservatives see changes as "It MIGHT NOT work, we better not try it"

and they shut off any other thought, i'm with Falko on this one
Any rational person can be reasoned with and if a change is reasonable they'll agree

which is why we have accepted gayness, as opposed to throwing those people off of roofs

2018-02-16 22:28:49 UTC  

if you give me a policy proposal i look at it, look at the risk/reward and then make my mind up based on that.

2018-02-16 22:28:55 UTC  

exactly

2018-02-16 22:29:39 UTC  

And that's not even to mention the corporate interests and lobbyists being involved.

2018-02-16 22:30:03 UTC  

those are just using people as a means to an end, wahtever works for their income they'll stand with

2018-02-16 22:30:49 UTC  

pretty much like every single person does, no one votes for what they believe is bad for them

2018-02-16 22:31:49 UTC  

for example: i personally do not think that civilians should be allowed to own guns (with VERY specific exceptions). but if i look at the US it obvious that it is impossible to get rid of all the guns (especially the illegal ones) which makes the risk of a ban outweigh the reward.

Pew Pew Bang Bang.

2018-02-16 22:33:17 UTC  

On Christmas, I received my permit (because the state regulates firearms excessively). :3

2018-02-16 22:33:45 UTC  

SHALL NOT, etc.

2018-02-16 22:33:56 UTC  

Next month, I attend a safety-course!

2018-02-16 22:34:43 UTC  

what state?

2018-02-16 22:35:14 UTC  

The United States' most gerrymandered one.

2018-02-16 22:35:23 UTC  

Maryland?

2018-02-16 22:35:49 UTC  

👍🏽

2018-02-16 22:38:00 UTC  

The 2nd & 4th Districts appear awkward, but the 3rd proves comical.

2018-02-16 22:38:13 UTC  

gun regulation in germany: only for police, military, hunters (hunting rifles only) and security personnel...

2018-02-16 22:38:37 UTC  

So it goes.

2018-02-16 22:38:59 UTC  

There exist more private security officers than police in the United States.

2018-02-16 22:40:46 UTC  

and most of the police in the US would probably not be able to become police officers in germany...

2018-02-16 22:41:11 UTC  

Why?

2018-02-16 22:41:18 UTC  

Simply incorrect, about german gunlegislation

2018-02-16 22:41:22 UTC  

They could.

2018-02-16 22:41:59 UTC  

somi, what is wrong about it?

2018-02-16 22:42:00 UTC  

Issue is the typical german police officer has been in training for about three years before finally becoming an officer? Whereas in the US the typical training time is about six months.

2018-02-16 22:42:21 UTC  

There's a fuckton more people that own guns in Germany than just those groups.

2018-02-16 22:42:49 UTC  

It's simply not correct that there's no such thing as recreational gun ownership in Germany.

2018-02-16 22:43:56 UTC  

yeah, 3 years training and physical and mental tests to before you can even begin training

2018-02-16 22:43:58 UTC  

One professor from Germany stated there exists a "right to technology" in Germany that grants arriving refugees iPhones, though he specialized in economics so that may prove unreliable.

2018-02-16 22:44:17 UTC  

Nope.

2018-02-16 22:44:23 UTC  
2018-02-16 22:44:32 UTC  

Sure as fuck not what I've heard from German gun owners.

2018-02-16 22:44:37 UTC  

right to technology...?

2018-02-16 22:44:49 UTC  

3 years was police 😉

2018-02-16 22:44:59 UTC  

You meant that "Nope" for me, or Falko?

2018-02-16 22:45:12 UTC  

I think that should be obvious.
