Can we all just shut the Hell up for a while? (Page 2)

[Waffles731]

"Michael D. Harmon,"
Well if he'd have kept it on safe he'd still be alive, really anyone who doesn't practice proper gun safety is really asking for that.
My favorite saying, don't mind those who ignore procedure as you'll outlive them

[OlderAndWiser]

Why are liberals, who profess to be motivated by love and tolerance, gleefully rejoicing at the death of another human being?

[Waffles731]

Why?
People are dicks, conservative, liberal doesn't matter people get hypocritcal and get assholish.
me, I'm a liberal and honestly all I can say is, follow gun safety and this wouldn't have happened.
This is why gun safety is a thing, because if you don't follow it, shit like this happens

[OlderAndWiser]

But that is not a reason to celebrate the death of another person.

[Waffles731]

no, but it should be posted all over the internet saying, DON'T DO THIS OR YOU WILL END UP DEAD. He'll be doing far more for gun owners in death than when he was alive

[OlderAndWiser]

I believe that is a disrespectful attitude. As you get older, you will come to appreciate that there are times in life when having a logically defensible base for asserting that you are right counts for very little.

[Waffles731]

I'm not a fan of people who don't follow gun safety, they make reasonable gun owners look bad and get people hurt

[OlderAndWiser]

Are you capable of respecting people with whom you disagree?

[Waffles731]

Yes. I can, I've got a hell of a lot of respect for John McCain or bob dole

[OlderAndWiser]

I have much disrespect for Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid but I would not celebrate their deaths. I would not pretend to feel horribly sad about their passing but I would not disrespect them or their survivors by posting hateful messages on social media.

You don't believe that political differences should lead to a celebration of an opponent's death, do you?

[Waffles731]

I do not, its not politics in this case, My problem is with people who don't care about gun safety.
I don't think politics are a good reason for it at all.

[OlderAndWiser]

Of course it's stupid and ironic but what's the point is saying those things when he's dead? We really don't need someone else to point out the irony in the situation. Why be the head cheerleader for the Firm-Grasp-Of-The-Obvious team?

[Waffles731]

Its not that,
I'm rather pro-gun you know that,
it bugs me when this happens because this will just add fuel to the fire

[OlderAndWiser]

These displays of poor taste do not advance the cause of the left.

[Waffles731]

They advance no ones cause.
This case a man who advocated for gun rights blatantly ignored gun safety and died because of it.
That hurts his side,
The reaction of good riddance and whoopsie of anti-gun people makes them look like dicks.

[OlderAndWiser]

Correct on all counts!

[John_Doesnt]

I don't get it. You say "Can't we all shut the hell up?", but then you go on a rant about liberals. I also don't get why you would point out how you have a liberal girlfriend, respect her views then start generalizing liberals in a rant.

[OlderAndWiser]

Of course I see things from my bias and my illustration of the problem reflects that. But I did not engage in any name calling, did I? I also tried to show that conservatives are also guilty of contributing to the problem and that none of them is helping us. In case you missed it, "the point is to say 'can't we mutually exist without constantly bashing each other?'"

[John_Doesnt]

You did name call, multiple times"As a conservative, I hear liberals - primarily younger liberals - become very acerbic in painting the distinctions between liberals and conservatives." Sarcasm is still name calling, even if you want to sound mature by not using specific names. And your statement of "the point is to say 'can't we mutually exist without constantly bashing each other?'" completely contradicts everything you just said, because you're bashing liberals and some conservatives in this rant.

[OlderAndWiser]

John Doesn't Get It.

[John_Doesnt]

Name calling again? You might be older, but not wiser.

[OlderAndWiser]

Saying that you don't get it is not calling you a name. . . unless you are one of those people who is so addicted to outrage that they simply see whatever they want to see.

[bloodmountain1990]

You can be a decent person and not hateful regardless of your political views

[ASEXY]

I don't care anymore. If you want us all to shut up, just 1. Don't invalidate us. 2. Don't disrespect us 3. Don't infringe our rights. 4. Don't interfere with our lives and our decisions...

And we won't have a problem...

[OlderAndWiser]

The point of this myTake was that we shouldn't be disrespecting each other.

[SeraBarton]

Conservative and liberal describe practically nothing specific. If I disagree with people it's on a specific topic like gay marriage or death penalty, not "oh you're conservative? Fuck you!" That's the opposite of having a discussion people.

[YourFutureEx]

But then.. what's the point in politics if there's no polarity?

[OlderAndWiser]

I never suggested that we should try to agree on everything. I am only suggesting that the bitter name calling stop.

[YourFutureEx]

Humans don't have any other way to oppose than scorning and disdaining. You have to provoke the society.

Matthew 10:22
And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved

[SuccessfulHornDog]

I say whatever I please and don't try to censor me asshats

[OlderAndWiser]

No one is trying to censor you; that is just a dramatic and reactionary response to what I wrote.

[SuccessfulHornDog]

You need to settle down and accept what you betters tell you.

[OlderAndWiser]

WTF does that mean?

[SuccessfulHornDog]

Please don't swear on the internet, thanks

[OlderAndWiser]

Pardon me but your hypocrisy is showing.

[Rissyanne]

Great take!!!

[ColinHarvey]

This is gay.

[OlderAndWiser]

I have a sense of humor and appreciate that in others!

[Luci92]

I like this message.

[SheDevilxx]

I love this post, specially on 'bitch'

[Thrifty]

I say all of these. Bitches.
