exactly. gun control only started when minorities started exercising their right to bear arms. The right don’t want gun control laws until the groups they are trying to oppress start exercising their second amendment rights.
i'd just like to interject for a moment, concerning the plural of octopus.
If you had looked it up, you would have discovered that ‘octopi’ is not the preferred spelling. It is not a spelling at all. The word does not exist, except in the mouths of those who are pretending to be educated but in fact are not. This is because the ‘us’ ending of ‘octopus’ is not a Latin nominative singular ending, which would form its plural by changing to the letter ‘i’. Instead, the syllable ‘pus’ in ‘octopus’ is the Greek word for ‘foot.’ And it forms its plural the Greek way. Therefore ‘octopoda’, not ‘octopi’. Never ‘octopi’.
it would be nice if there was an undertale kind of thing for pokemon, where you could either fight and capture them, like in classic pokemon style, or just not fight them, and somehow convince them to join your party or something. and i guess if there are trainer battles, you just shoot the trainers with a gun and liberate their pokemon from the yoke of their oppressors.
i don't get how it could not be about israel. are kids not taught what self-immolation is these days? I seem to remember learning about it in my 9th grade history classe
basically that's why he was elected. he wasn't trump. That's his whole platform, that's it. It's not necessarily a bad platform, but it's not really gonna leave much, as far as his legacy is concerned.
