Ever changing. Forever bettering. Never perfect

“Your perception does not alter reality, and reality is never parallel to your perceptions.” "Our culture has accepted two huge lies. The first is that if you disagree with someone’s lifestyle, you must fear or hate them. The second is that to love someone means you agree with everything they believe or do. Both are nonsense. You don’t have to compromise convictions to be compassionate.”

[kit-foxx]

Up until I was like 9  I thought that “gunpoint” was an actual place where crimes happen. Think about it. It’s always on the news: 

“A man is being held up at gunpoint.”

“Terrorists are being terrorized at gunpoint.”

And I just kept thinking, why do people continue to go there?!

Weinstein warns Congress about ‘cult’ of campus progressivism

Bret Weinstein warned Congress last week that Evergreen State is just the most visible example of a despotic progressive “cult” on college campuses.

Campus police advised Weinstein to leave campus, saying they could not ensure his safety, but the protests continued to escalate, climaxing when students held the school’s president and other high-ranking administrators hostage until they agreed to fully comply with a list of demands.

The hostage-taking earned the students praise from faculty members, but drew a rebuke from the school’s Board of Trustees, which called the protest tactics “indefensible.”

Referencing his subsequent experience at Evergreen State, which later led to a $3.8 million lawsuitagainst the institution, Weinstein warned the committee that lawmakers “should take my tale as cautionary.”

Weinstein, however, warned against simply characterizing the demonstrations as a free speech crisis, asserting far more pernicious problems lurk beneath that surface.

“Is there a free speech crisis on college campuses? One can certainly make that argument, but that portrayal is at least as misleading as it is informative,” he said. “What is occurring on college campuses is about power and control—speech is impeded as a last resort, used when people or groups fail to self-censor in response to a threat of crippling stigma and the destruction of their capacity to earn.”

“These tools are being used to unhook the values that bind us together as a nation: equal protection under the law, the presumption of innocence, a free marketplace of ideas, the concept that people should be judged by the content of their character rather than the color of their skin,” he added.

According to Weinstein, the wave of activist demonstrations “functions much more like a cult, in which the purpose is only understood by the leaders, and the rest have been seduced into a carefully architected fiction.”

students held the school’s president and other high-ranking administrators hostage until they agreed to fully comply with a list of demands

The incident took place during the second day of demonstrations demanding the resignation of Professor Bret Weinstein, who angered many students when he challenged the school’s decision to ask white people to leave campus for a day of diversity programming in an all-staff email.

“The priority is that they stay in that room. If they aren’t in that room, then we did something wrong, so you all need to watch that door, watch all the doors, the windows, you need to keep eyes on them,” one protester commands, referencing all of the potential exit points that administrators could use to make an escape. “Somebody needs to go in that room real quick to make sure there’s no way for them to leave.”

What the actual fuck. 

[whiskey-gunpowder]

socialized anything in a nutshell… 

[gray-firearms-deactivated201905]

If this fucking happened here in the us. There would be a militia group going in with the parents to go take there son back.

[bigwordsandsharpedges]

Alfie was expected to survive a few hours once they took him off life support. So far, he has survived a few days of breathing independently. Italy granted the infant citizenship and requested that he be moved to a Vatican-sponsored hospital in Rome, but the UK High Court responded by banning the family from traveling to Italy.

[coolmanfromthepast]

When the Crown says you should die, you just better fucking die and get it over with.

[matt-ruins-your-shit]

Wait I missed this story what’s happening? What’s wrong with the kid and why wont they let him leave the hospital or travel to Italy for treatment? What do they mean by sentenced to die?

The statement from the police without even knowing the situation is fucked up. I immediately know they’re all doing something they know is wrong. If you start threatening people to not talk about something you’re doing…maybe you’re not doing a good thing. 

[metalcatholic-deactivated202202]

@matt-ruins-your-shit A child in the UK has a undiagnosed brain disorder doctors don’t know what it is. The parents what to travel to Italy for alternate treatment however the government has blocked them from leaving the hospital and order the child’s breathing tube to be removed. The doctors believed he would die immediately but its been..two days(?) and he hasn’t. So last I heard they weren’t giving him food or water (I think that may have changed but Im not 100% sure). Parents are going through UK court system which keeps denying their request to let their son travel to Italy and say he must die. Italy has provided the boy with a citizenship and a helicopter to get him to the hospital there. 

[matt-ruins-your-shit]

Okay so I read about it a bit more and here are my thoughts. I understand the recommendation to not pursue treatment it happens. Treatment can be brutal and in a lot of cases it’s just suffering piled onto dying which is why palliative care exists. You can’t always save someone. Maybe it’s the right call maybe it isn’t I’m not a doctor.

The part that’s outrageous is that the decision is being made for them. It’s their fucking child and if they want to pursue every option who the fuck are you to say no, order 12 guards to prevent them from leaving without a dead child and deny them the ability to travel. Fuck the UK I hope your burn yourselves to the ground you fucking deserve it.

And the fucking court oh my God these pieces of shit not only keep rejecting their appeals but got pissy with the parents for even trying, making some snarky comment about it not being groundhog day and they don’t get to keep trying every day. They’re son is dying and you’re not letting them pursue options..maybe pick a better spot for a shitty joke you fuckwad. 

[princessofbadvibes]

At the last court hearing, that same Italian helicopter mentioned was waiting at the hospital, ready to fly little Alfie straight to the Vatican hospital they wanted to take him to. They were waiting and ready. Prepared. I have literally been on and off crying over this case for weeks because I don’t want another Charlie Gard. I really don’t.

And the no food thing hasn’t changed. He’s allowed water though from what I’ve heard.

[justadeadpineapple-deactivated2]

It doesn’t matter if treatment isn’t usually a good option. Its that the FUCKING GOVERNMENT IS DENYING A BABY TREATMENT FOR A BRAIN DISORDER! THE FUCKING GOVERNMENT!!!! I would love to grab some fucking assault rifles and just shoot down the British Government.

LET ALFIE LEAVE!!! LET ALFIE LIVE!!!

[princessofbadvibes]

They act as if he is property of the state and not the child of his parents. I hate it. This is the kind of shit that honestly makes me want to just end myself because I really don’t want to live at the same time as a society where this is what the government will do to children as if they are objects and not human beings. I hate it so much. It depresses me. I don’t want this. So that’s why I’m fighting for these things to be prevented. Canada’s Liberal government has been pondering options like these for a while. There’s a reason why I’m going into medical practices where babies are involved.

[friendly-neighborhood-patriarch]

It’s sad that I hesitate to reblog this cuz I don’t want 100 “contexts” to leap down my throat.

But I truly believe the situation is sad amd screwed up.

[adrunkensailor]

The reason the don’t release him is because prolonging his life on painful and torturous treatment is cruel. And Child Cruelty is illegal in Britain. The child isn’t the parents property any more than it is the states, Alfie has a right not to be tortured.

[friendly-neighborhood-patriarch]

I don’t believe it’s the government’s place to make these decisions.

[metalcatholic-deactivated202202]

“Alfie has a right to not be tortured” so denying him food and water isn’t torture? hmmm ok.

Florida man shoots suspect in home invasion: ‘They messed with the wrong house’

Two men attempting a home invasion at a Florida residence got more than they bargained for, the Jack...

The men knocked on the door and forced their way into the Jacksonville home. When they put a gun up to the owner’s face, the man pulled out his own weapon, a .380 that was in his pocket, and fired. He went to another room and retrieved a Glock.

“I shot him once, then I got my other gun and said ‘I got a big gun now,‘” the homeowner said

@everytown Good guy with a gun

[12-angry-misogynists]

@vashersinclaire What was that about a good guy with a gun?

[vashersinclaire]

*sigh* I already addressed this in another comment in response to someone else. I’ll just copy and paste my response.

I have seen such studies, and I’m aware that people use guns successfully to defend themselves all the time. However, there are problems with this. For one, it’s not enough. It simply doesn’t work on the large scale. We still lead the civilized world by quite a margin in things like school shootings and other domestic terrorism, despite having some of the loosest gun control. The cases where someone actually kills a person who would have killed them first are extremely rare, and most times someone brings a gun into the situation, even in defence of themselves or others, a preventable death occurs. For another, those “bad guys with guns”? The vast majority weren’t committing crimes that would have carried the death sentence. People get killed for things like breaking and entering, mugging, etc. when they should just get a few months of jail time and a fine. These aren’t “bad guys” getting killed by “good guys”, it’s poor people turning to crime to support themselves because the capitalist economy failed them, then getting murdered for it while their murderers are celebrated as heroes for “standing their ground.”

[triggeredmedia]

What is a large enough scale? Kennesaw GA made gun ownership mandatory and crime dropped. Population has tripled.

Would you support trying it on a larger city?

[gray-firearms-deactivated201905]

No one told them to go rob someone of there hard earned property. You try to steal my shit or I find you in my house. You’re going to end up with a few extra holes to breath out of. Why the fuck should I be sorry for the sack of shits back story on why he’s stealing my shit??

[vashersinclaire]

And there it is: the real issue. You have a complete lack of empathy, and I don’t. I understand that extreme situations can cause people to go to extreme lengths to provide for their loved ones, and apparently you don’t care. You’re a fucking monster.

[allamericankindofguy-actual]

Theft isn’t right no matter how you dress it up.

[vashersinclaire]

But theft doesn’t carry the death sentence! Also holy shit, you need to read Les Miserables if you really believe what you just said.

[allamericankindofguy-actual]

Works of fiction don’t change the fact that there’s no right reason to break into my house in the middle of the night.

[vashersinclaire]

Wow. Such ignorance. So, no message delivered through the lens of fiction has any merit? No ideas posed via novels instead of essays should be listened to?

Also, the root of the issue here is the culture and the climate in which these concerns are even rooted. The issue isn’t whether or not someone should be able to defend themselves from an attacker. The issue is *why* some citizens resort to crime, including and especially violent crime, and also, what kind of society do we want to create? What kind of culture do we want to live in? Would it be better to address the economical problems that lead to higher crime rates, or just let the economy collapse and instead make sure everyone has a gun? The answer should be pretty obvious.

If we instituted proper gun control like places like Singapore and Japan and Australia have, then we might be able to get away from the culture of “us vs. them” and “stand your ground” we live in. We need to stop being so afraid of each other and start using reason instead of force to solve issues. Otherwise we will continue to have many times more gun deaths per capita than almost any other first world country and perpetuate a culture of fear and dehumanization that has already left is divided more than ever before.

Guns give you something to hide behind. Have the courage to use your mind instead of bullets. Violence is the coward’s way.

[allamericankindofguy-actual]

You’re right. The guy breaking into your house at 3 am who’s hopped up on ketamine and god knows what else just needs to be reasoned with, even as he’s driving a steak knife through your heart.

[vashersinclaire]

That person only exists in your paranoid delusions, unless you happen to be one of the unluckiest people around. Are you just incapable of thinking on a larger scale than you and the people you know? You’re aware that there are over 320 million people in this country right? And that the scenario you’re describing is so rare, it’s basically a statistical outlier? Think about this from outside your own perspective, if you’re even capable.

[allamericankindofguy-actual]

Look if someone breaks into my house, I’m well within my rights in the state of Georgia to shoot them.

Nothing behind the locked door of someone’s house is worth dying for, stop apologizing for criminals.

Lol I won three reblogs ago, insulting you is just for fun

[allamericankindofguy-actual]

You didn’t though. You’ve failed to sway my opinion on why I should let someone break into my house, take my things, and potentially hurt me and my family in the process.

So please, give me a reason as to why I should appease some lowlife that wants to hurt me.

[whostolemymonkey]

Another prime example of someone growing up in the luxury of a “good neighborhood”. If you honestly think that drug addicts breaking into homes and stabbing others isn’t a thing, it’s only made up by paranoid gun nuts… I’m sorry but you’re fucking retarded.

Some junkies in my hometown just kidnapped a woman, cut her 8 month developed baby out of her stomach while SHE WAS STILL ALIVE, and then dumped her body like trash.

[jokeractual-deactivated20181217]

Please do tell how we should sympathize with the guy who broke into my moms house to rape and kill her. Im interested what I could have said that has a clearer message than the cocking of a gun. I cant think of any.

Or the guy stealing the christmas presents from my truck a few years back? Stopped him pretty quick when he saw my AR 15. Too bad i couldnt just reason wirh him.

Fuck you lol

[whostolemymonkey]

@vashersinclaire Care to explain that away?

[american--support]

We already have immensely restrictive gun control in places like Chicago, St Louis, LA, NYC and New Orleans, yet the majority of all US gun crime occurs in those very same cities. If we deleted stats from those five cities, the US would be one of the nations with lowest gun crime in the world. Gun control does nothing, especially when 20 bucks, this very person advocating for gun control is likely pro-open borders.

Class, notice how Val is clearly a) taking it personally, as evidenced by her personal attack against allamericankindofguy-actual, and b) is not actually admitting there’s even a single situation where reason won’t work. 

Come to think, I don’t think she ever expresses the slightest bit of concern for the people criminals might hurt. In the entire thread. She literally cares more about criminals than their victims.

[kit-foxx]

That person only exists in your paranoid delusions, unless you happen to be one of the unluckiest people around.

I’m going to add my own experience here. 

I have a cousin who has been a crackhead for over 20 years. Now, even the rare times she IS sober she’s still highly irrational, violent, and ultra-paranoid. 

She has broken into and assaulted quite a number of people, stolen vehicles, lunged at family members with a weapon, she’s even found a way to cut power to an entire city then break into a police station because she thought she could erase her info from the mother ship (whom all the townspeople worshiped, worked for and and spied on her to gather said info...which was also sold to ISIS...she used another term but it’s extremely racist and I don’t wanna use it). 

I’m not even exaggerating, that was literally what she thought was happening. There is no talking reason to her.

Obviously you’ve lived an unusually privileged life if you don’t believe there are plenty of crazed and violent desperate addicts who break into places and assault people. Or even believe they’re such a rarity that the victims just have to be “one of the unluckiest people around”. 

 Reason will NOT reach people in altered mental states. That aside, reason will NOT reach people who have decided they are going to hurt you. The sound of a gun cocking definitely will, though. Even if I never plan to fire, at least there’s the high chance the sound itself will scare them off.

For those who don’t know what’s happening in the video, she untied her shoelaces, pulled one through the inside of the zip tie binding her hands, then tied the shoelaces together. Then, by pulling downward and back and forth on the shoelaces with her feet, she created enough friction to wear away part of the ziptie, making it weak enough to snap right off her hands.
