Mexican Government Weighs In

Now the Mexican government is putting their two cents’ worth into the gun debate.

The gun lobby has succeeded in selling weapons of war, of a military nature, with the potential to leave victims unrecognizable, to civilians knowing the damage they cause. This failure to foresee, to prevent the damage is negligence, and the gun firms must be held responsible.

I want to tell the Mexican government this: When you can stop your citizens from entering the USA and murdering our citizens, murdering their own children, and getting in deadly DUI accidents, you can have an opinion. Until then, either shut the fuck up, or you can pay for a wall between our countries to keep your citizens the fuck out of our country.

That’s Racist

A student complaining of stroke like symptoms went to the school nurse. The nurse accused him of faking, and instead of calling 911, called the mother to come get him. It turns out that the 17 year old was indeed having a stroke.

Now I get that the nurse was assuming that 17 year olds don’t typically have strokes, but they DO try to come up with excuses to be sent home. Still, the nurse can’t simply assume that the complaint is fake, and was 100% wrong for refusing to call 911. Especially considering that this school is a K-12 public school for children with disabilities. You would think that the nurse there would be better than your average school nurse, so she obviously needs some training, or they need to get a better nurse. That isn’t the point here, because I think we can all agree on that.

The problem that I have is that, instead of simply saying that the nurse was incompetent and screwed up, she has to accuse the school of racism. The school has issues with the students. Just last year, a student beat the principal unconscious in a vicious attack.

The demographics of this school paint a picture. This school has a student/teacher ratio of 9:1, so the students are pretty closely watched. Two thirds of them have learning disabilities, and 85% of the student body is black. As to the staff, 57% of the staff is white, and 19% of the staff is black. This means that there are more black and fewer white teachers at this school than at the average Boston school.

Bad things happen. Just because you happen to be black doesn’t mean that it is always due to racism.

Keep Your Body Out of My Wallet

Women keep screaming about how men should have no say in whether or not women get an abortion. They say “my body, my choice.” Let’s put aside the whole “I want to murder another human being because letting it live is inconvenient” argument for a moment.

Let’s just suppose for a moment that a developing fetus is not a living organism. The women claim that denying them access to abortions is akin to slavery by forcing them to provide sustenance to a developing child against their will.

Ok. Let’s take that to it’s logical conclusion.

No more welfare, food stamps, or other forms of public assistance. That includes Medicaid. Forcing me to support your freeloading ass while you fuck, party, drink, and get high is slavery. Find a way to earn your own living. Beg on the corner. Get an OnlyFans page. Suck dicks for money. I don’t care. Just don’t expect me to pay for your lazy ass.

How is that? Fair trade?

Othering

Take a look at this article: The Buffalo Shooter Isn’t a ‘Lone Wolf.’ He’s a Mainstream Republican. The “othering” continues. The road looks like this:

The left began with “Anyone who says things that I disagree with is a racist,” which has turned into “Anyone who says things that I disagree with needs to be prevented from speaking.” A quote from the article:

He may have, as he claims, become radicalized by over-enthused browsing of the Internet’s sewers, principally 4chan. But his fixations mirror those of the right wing more broadly, from violent transphobia to a loathing of immigration to a preoccupation with the possibility of civil war.

Enter the new Disinformation Governance Board. Expect there to be a wholesale attack on things like 4chan. Note that the line is now: “Anyone who says something that I disagree with is a mass murderer.”

How long before it turns into “Anyone who says something that I disagree with needs to be eliminated?”
