Because she believes that the changes they want to make are a bad idea?
When did we develop this automatic assumption that any change is necessarily a good one?
Hitler and Stalin were working for a change in the world.
And wouldn't it be nice if the lambs and the lions could frolic happily together in the perry winkle!! Tra La Tra La
Carrying a weapon means you are afraid; carrying a concealed weapon means you are very afraid.
No, carrying a weapon means you believe like the Boy Scouts- Be Prepared.
The woman wants to be able to walk around unconcerned that some mook is going to jump her.
Well, as long as there are people on this planet, you will never have that option. Some folk go to their baser instincts & pray on others. Those people need to be put away, never to see the light of a free day again.
There are two ways to make the streets safe: Assurance on the mook's part that he will not get away with it, because fear of getting caught is the only deterrent to crime, just ask a CEO or a mugger,
Well, without punishment in the justice system, that ain't gonna happen. Thugs know they'll be out relatively soon, it is seen as a badge of honor to them to have been imprisoned, and they learn from other thugs how better to do their trade.
and teaching mooks that jumping people who are weaker or more vulnerable is wrong and we don't do it, which is basic Christianity.
This is just wishful thinking. Sorry to break it to you.
I would always shave my legs even if I was wearing pants, that is, until 3 little words changed this forever...laser hair removal. Rocks!
Nice post. On the money. I carry about 50% of the time and I'm never afraid. Even when I am not packing.
Today's "feminist" is about identity-politics, not about "equal pay" or such similar. Modern feminists spend all of their time complaining about how biased society is against them, and no time at all on actually doing things for women.
RE: paid significantly less in every type of job
A d$#@ lie. Take any SPECIFIC job. There is no difference in pay between men and women of the same pay grade. Of course, what is never mentioned in all the infamous studies is that those studies don't compare men and women in specific jobs, they compare them overall. Men tend to have high paying jobs and do not interrupt their careers to raise children. This is not rocket science. And by the way, the rocket scientist field is overwhelmingly peopled by men.
that gif is hilarious!
Sure, it'd be wonderful if everyone was peaceful. But, until that happens (which will be on or about the 47th of Never) we need the military, cops, and an armed citizenry (sp)
