    We’ve always heard the benefit of playing sports for boys but it’s really no different for girls so I’m ecstatic that she’s so into it. It’s so much fun!!
    I can hardly believe she's six already. IIRC you were just bringing her home from the hospital in a USC onesie! Things must have been pretty tense around your house during the divisional playoffs, you and the princess v. your poor wife.

    You're right about the benefit of girls playing sports and I hope the two of you have lots of good times sharing your interests.

    How many times do you think you've threatened to murder Americans on JPP, Matt? 10 times? 20?

    Does fantasizing about my purple dick make you wet, Ms. Moon? Would you like a picture sent in PM?
    https://www.justplainpolitics.com/sh...uld-end/page26 #378 The fact you still dream about being reamed by a purple dick is interesting, Ms. Moon #346

    Translation: No, Dutch, I can't quote posts of you threatening to murder Americans like I've done on JPP.

    I blame it on your alcoholism and unresolved anger issues, Matt. Still, that won't save you from prison.

    The answer? We're sick as a nation. And this is a symptom. If we had a doctor for countries, we'd be admitted to the emergency room right away. This is like a Stage 4 kind of symptom. We've let things go. We've allowed divisiveness, hate & fear trump the better angels of our nature. We've allowed demagogues to rule the day, and we've let the internet run wild. And guns are PART of the problem, as well. There is no coincidence between the fact that we lead the world in gun ownership, and gun violence. Saying the answer is "more guns" is an incredible disconnect.

    I have no answer, but I know where the answers lie: in honest discussion. Not "how can this help my side" knee-jerk reactions. We've gotta stop politicizing this stuff, and think through all aspects of it in an unbiased, critical way. We need real leaders, and not cartoon characters.

    Lives depend on this. We have to step up. It is time.
    The answer is to stop voting Democrat. Problem solved.

    Kind of what I was talking about in the OP.
    It isn't the guns halfwit. There are 400 million of them in the US. A testimony that GUNS are not the issue. It's mental patients with zero morals or mores that commit heinous crimes. Not the guns.

    Halfwits will never comprehend the OBVIOUS.

    Remember, you're arguing with a lying leftist halfwit. They can't remember what they said five minutes ago.

    Posters like TD really show why this problem is so hard to solve. Just a purely partisan position, shutting down any & all discussion.
