I submitted a tip with pictures of Trump and anti-choice signs all over my parents church, the property outside, as well as direct links to streamed sermons where the pastor is outright telling people if they vote Democrat they're going to hell so be a good Christian and vote for trump.
Over a year after the abortion issue signs and nothing has come of it.
Every time I see some of my relatives, I make sure I bring up "oh, by the way shouldn't I be dead now? You made a pretty big fuss about how everyone who was vaccinated [would] be dead within a year"
There's also a safety on some guns, which I personally hate, that allows you to pull the trigger, but the safety disconnects the mechanism from the pin, or blocks the pin from going forward.
Personally I'd rather they just not allow a trigger pull at all. It's especially freaky when you get one that still moves the hammer.
My dad thinks climate change is a scam and "someone [i]s making a lot of money from it"
My dad also laments that the local lake doesn't freeze over like it did when he was a teenager, DRIVING on top of it with his brothers.
Totally unrelated to climate change though. Cause that's totes fake.
Also storms are more violent and frequent, winters are basically spring 2.0 now and the local river has flooded way past historic levels and could threaten the downtown area of their city within the decade.
Going to the youtube comments section for History Time's videos on early human civilizations, and Peter Pringle's songs about the Epic of Gilgamesh...
Basically any mention of historic/legend/mythological events that the Bible based one of its stories on is met with protests of do your research and you'll see the Bible didn't steal anything ever, and you're dumb for thinking that
All they had to do was just keep swimming. But no, they got a stick up their ass that told them "hey Bro, go on land Bro, surely you will not regret walking on land" and now my ass has to go to work on Monday.
I've seen someone get their firearm slapped out of their hand, decked, and ejected from a firing range for "accidentally" flashing someone with the barrel and pulling the trigger at the same time. Neither of which should EVER BE FUCKING DONE UNLESS YOU INTEND TO KILL THAT PERSON
I can't speak for the other commenter, but I'm not naive enough to think conflict just appeared out of nowhere. It's come from beefs between historic tribes and stretches back to before people wrote things down.
It's more like "those cops were just regular people whose families were beating other people up, then someone with a lot more Big Sticks came over and told them they're now part of a special group who are the only ones allowed to beat people up and gave them a shiny gold star plaque? to prove it"
Only instead of a gold star, it was drawing lines on a map and saying "this is yours, have fun", and pretending to not see anything negative they do after that.
There sure is a place that popped up in 1948 that has carte Blanche to do whatever the fuck they want to surrounding areas because they have a trillion dollar war machine mommy that comes calling every time she hears baby cry foul.
I guess you skipped all that in your perusing of Wikipedia summaries.
And it's not like being soft on an attempted fascist coup has never backfired on anyone either...
