Ridiculous Things You Read On Facebook

No. And it's illegal to operate a firearm while drunk.

Same lack of reality when Aurora happened. Lots of internet tough guys that can suddenly expertly navigate a crowded, dark, and smoke-filled theater during the chaos of a psychopath going off with bookoo guns and ammo.

If a guy did this sort of thing at a bar near an NRA convention, I wonder how many people would die from "friendly fire" in the ensuing drunken wild-west melee.

Any volunteers to conduct this experiment?

I'm gonna guess it's 50-50 that the person who posted that image isn't terribly upset about who was singled out in Orlando.

Another two brilliant posts on my feed. Sheesh.

*man (not me) posts link to Snopes and Fact Check*

Both of your sources are fairly liberal leaning so I would suspect them as to accuracy.

and same thread, by a different person

If people who are mysteriously placed on the no fly list banned from buying a gun from a gun store, should people who are under criminal investigation by the FBI be able to run for president?

My parents completely refuse to believe Snopes or any other of those sites. Unless of course they agree with them.

Snopes makes people lose their fucking minds.

"Yeah...the Pope never said that." (Snopes link)

IT'S STILL A COOL QUOTE!!! I JUST LIKE THE QUOTE!!! IT DOESN'T MATTER WHO SAID IT!!!

"Ummm...that's not even close to what a 6-week old fetus looks like." (Snopes link)

WHO CARES WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE? IT'S STILL A LIFE!!!

This one drove me particularly batshit this week. And the verbal judo used against me when I brought up this was anti abortion propaganda mixed with anti gun propaganda with no attributable sources was ridiculous.

Suddenly *I* am the one who was conflating this with religion when no such suggestion was brought up! Clearly I am completely wrong because all doctors believe abortion is a cause of death. And obviously *I* am wrong about where our priorities lie when trying to save lives.

I think they are missing all gun related deaths. And do they only count "murder by gun" for those that were found guilty of murdering. What about manslaughter by gun, or accidental shootings? I am so glad I am not on Facebook to see this shit.

Most of those aren't even causes of death. Obesity isn't a cause of death, but a contributing factor in other causes of death.

So it could be you, since he said friend of a friend, right?

In other ridiculous FB stuff, I decided to read the comment HDO replied to on some batshit crazy PATRIOT FREEDOM site. All these yahoos praising Putin for having the balls to move an aircraft carrier into range to attack ISIS. All sorts of shit about how we need a strong leader, like Putin, instead of the pansy ass Obama who refuses to do anything about ISIS, or is helping ISIS because they are his brothers in the fight to rule the world under Sharia Law.

First, imagine how they would respond if Obama praised Putin (like Trump does). They would go batshit crazy that Obama is weak and caving to Putin, or a commie teaming up with Russia. Pointing out that Obama moved the USS Truman aircraft carrier to run bombing missions against ISIS back in November 2015, and recently added the USS Eisenhower carrier as well means nothing to them. They crave an authoritarian dictator because they love the Constitution so damned much.

Absolutely no need to apologize. Just a case of my biggest annoyance with Facebook right now--somewhere along the line, they decided that everyone in your friends list needs to see your "likes" and comments exchanges with other, non-mutual friends.

For instance, I really want to "like" Gunpowder's post from this morning, but had to hold off from the apprehension that it will just pull over to my own feed and invite a #PRIVILIGEENTITLEDTRIGGERTHUG shitstorm for everyone else to see.

Yeah, Giff's relatives infuriate me. Good luck with that family reunion. Edibles, lots of edibles. If I were in your position, I'd probably drink too much and go off. You don't want to talk politics with me after I have a couple drinks.

That was me in the late 90s until after Bush won re-election. I didn't even need drinks. But it's just not worth it to talk about in person. I'm not wasting a vacation pissed off at my parents, one of my sisters and my brother believing every single news item that comes out against their cemented opinions is just liberal lies.

It's sad to see all of this hate, racism, ignorance and everything else. We need more love in the style of MLK. This unnecessary violence and killing needs to stop. The sad thing is the media is trying to force a racial divide between us. On a side note is Pokemon Go as real as everyone says?

Yea I made that mistake with BSFGF's stepdad when we were in MN. Safe to say he hasn't been out of rural Minnesota very much in his life.

I am so sick of these posts. I'm fighting the urge to say unless you're waiting for your dark skinned son to get home from work every day, worried that he won't make it home, then you don't get to pass judgment on those who are.

Well put. I don't think there is anything inconsistent between saying "Most cops are good and they do an important and difficult job" and "Cops should really stop shooting unarmed black guys."
