The Myth of the Responsible Gun Owner: An American Nightmare (Part I)
ozimoron replied to onthedarkside's topic in World News
Do you support laws to enforce the "great care in storing my guns away from criminals and malicious individuals."? -
The same conservative opposition is prevalent in the UK as well. A classic example of how low income blue collar workers who are most prone to be conservative vote against their own best interests. Recent data from the Pew Research Center (2020) show that most American conservatives opposed UBI: while 72% of liberals favored it, 84% of conservatives opposed it. Such opposition, however, is not necessarily rigid because political elites can often deploy frames to sway public opinion in specific ideological directions the negative stereotypes of welfare recipients are especially strong among American conservatives. As many conservatives believe that welfare programs disproportionately benefit Black Americans, they regard welfare with fundamental disdain https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11109-022-09824-z

The Myth of the Responsible Gun Owner: An American Nightmare (Part I)

The problem is that neither of those lists actually exist or could exist and so gun control needs to be broader. -
It's coming. Worldwide corporate tax agreements are already in place. Next will be the universal basic income. 45% of Americans support it, including a fifth of Republicans. Nearly eight-in-ten Republicans and Republican-leaning independents (78%) oppose the federal government providing a universal basic income of about $1,000 per person, with 62% strongly opposed. A smaller share of Democrats and Democratic leaners (66%) favor a UBI, with just a third supporting the proposal strongly. https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2020/08/19/more-americans-oppose-than-favor-the-government-providing-a-universal-basic-income-for-all-adult-citizens/

Yes, my point is I'd add to that list. In Australia we have far fewer gun owners and no school shootings or mass shootings of any kind. Not since guns were made much harder to get anyway. -

I don't think it ,means that to anybody. Certainly only a handful of extremists advocate for a total gun ban. I would take out more of the more egregious weapons such as are already banned despite the 2nd amendment. -

You don't often get to do a Wyatt Earp when somebody decides to shoot you. -

If you just need any computer shop there is one on Pattaya Klang opposite Foodland. Not big on parts but carry a lot of peripherals and do servicing work.

Children under 12 months old should be vaccinated against COVID-19
ozimoron replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
My problem is that the torrent of misinformation which ensues with every covid thread endangers people's lives. All because some extremist zealots want to obey their political puppeteer. -
Thanks for clearing up your misunderstanding, I was getting frustrated. From the Atlantic link which underscores my point that left wing use of the word is to complain about it's use. Going further, you should acknowledge that as with cancel culture, critical race theory, and even structural racism, the contested nature of the term imposes a preemptive barrier to productive disagreement.

There's no automatic presumption that a person who died with covid died from covid. The actual cause of death is determined by the doctor. -
