Polls: Society & Politics

Yesterday I took a Political Compass Test and the question came up "Some people are naturally unlucky" and since I don't believe in magic, curses, karma or any of that I voted "Strongly Disagree" and moved on, but then I put some thought into it and had to change my answer to "Agree" and here's why.

When I think of someone who is naturally unlucky I'm not talking about someone who got cursed for breaking a mirror or and nonsense like that, I'm talking about someone who was born in unfortunate circumstances. Someone who was born in a poor family or has horrible parents, growing up in a bad area, having a physical and/or mental illness, or anything that negatively affects their life. I'm not talking about something that happens later in someones life, I'm talking about what they were born with since nobody can choose where they are born or what family they were born with, and bad thing that happen later in life are things that everyone has to deal with at some time or another.
Can these unlucky people get out of their situations with enough effort? Of course they can, but they're going to have it a lot harder than someone who was blessed to have been raised in a stable environment with money (doesn't have to be rich), with good parents and live in a good neighborhood.

So I don't think that being unlucky has anything mystical to it, it's just the unfairness of the world.

I like animals more, because a lot of people just want to make rules up to control your life. Plus, people love messing up things from destroying environment to causing drama

Animals do not make rules to control your life or cause drama

If a tree falls in the woods, and there’s nobody there to hear it, but you chopped it down, is it wrong?

Name a war in the last 50 years where the United States really needed to fight in a war to save rights and freedoms for Americans? Plus, the US Military is only in the Middle East to hijack oil and minerals not to save your rights. Even Trump admitted that the Iraqi War was a big fat mistake. Plus guess who formed both Al-Qaeda and the Taliban? The US Military never cared about our freedoms, if they care while they support Saudi Arabia where 80% of the 911 hijackers who killed over 3,000 Americans came from?

For those of you that don't know, Mossberg danced around legalities to make a 590 as small as it can legally be without a tax stamp or any other nonsense like that. They avoided the label as a shotgun which would make it an NFA item as a SBS by never having a stock on it, the definition of shotgun is predicated on it being able to be fired from the shoulder, since there's never a shock on it, it isn't a shotgun. It's not a pistol, where it would be illegal if it was since smooth bore handguns are illegal, because it's meant to be fired two handed, and it's not a rifle because it has a smooth bore which keeps it from being an NFA item as an SBR, and it's not an AOW because it's above the 26" minimum length, so legally, it's simply classified as a "firearm". Now that all of that stuff is out of the way, I see it as viable, but it's an expert's gun and just about any reliable modern gun is more practical than this for home defense and hunting. However, since it is nice and small, it can be an OK truck gun, but I'd much rather use a handgun or an AR pistol with a 7.5" barrel in 300 Blackout. The best part about it for me is how it's a huge middle finger to the NFA and their dumb laws. I believe that worthless is being too hard on it, but saying it's one of the better choices for anything, really, to me is an overstatement. What's your take on the Mossberg Shockwave?

Like if you were Republican but she was a Democrat.
