I'm actually fiscally conservative, and liberal on social issues. I understand exactly how the government works and it's kind of naive to think that you can make a change. Just saying, that's my opinion on the matter. Our government is so corrupted by corporations and lobbying groups that nothing ever gets done and we just keep perpetuating what's convenient or what we can make an election issue. No matter how many letters I write to my state rep, or who I vote for, it doesn't matter in the end.
Not enough of us (citizens) can agree on anything or are even willing to secede any points we are trying to make. Take this thread for example, no one, that I've read, has taken a step back to try and view it from another's perspective or even propose some sort of solution. Except for myself, and I was quickly told by Antiblitz, that's that what he was trying to tell me, because he missed my point on the gun issue to begin with. At which point, I was too tired from working 12 hour shifts all week to try and argue further.
We need stricter laws on gun control and we need to seriously consider what is acceptable as far as firearm possession is concerned. The problem, 98% of gun owner's don't want to give up shit, instead blaming mental health of the shooter's. That's fine and stuff but you can't make progress unless a discussion can be established, and one can't. You've got each side holding strong to a position, no one trying to make a common ground for discussion. NRA saying more guns and "liberals", as ignorant fucks blanket umbrella anyone with a differing opinion call them, saying less guns more laws. So again I ask, what's the fucking point?
