But that does not apply to many families. If you treat a toy gun as you would a real weapon and teach children to do the same, that is a good thing, but I have seen many teens who had toy guns as a child and never developed safe practices; some end up shooting themselves or their best friend while "horsing around" with a real gun as they did with the toys they had as a kid. You cannot assume that other people will train children and grandchildren as you do/did. The accidental shooting will then be used in anti-gun propaganda and even legislation. I have even seen "toy" guns that I could not tell from real ones unless I looked down the barrel (although that was not in the U.S.). Those even had working actions and looked and operated like areal weapon. I think the ones here have orange around the muzzle, but kids get shot by cops because the kid is pointing a "toy" gun at an officer who cannot tell that it is not real. My kids grew up around guns as it is part of the culture here and necessary to protect oneself from dangerous animals. The ones who still live in Alaska are avid hunters, and carry large revolvers when fishing. I am not at all anti-gun.

Don - parenting. You can teach dumb but not stupid. You cannot expect a system to educate your kids.
Thank you for teaching your kids. I grew up in a “guns!!!!” environment. My very first shot was a 7mm Remington full load and on target. It included a shiner for the recall but the deer would have been in the freezer.

You have to teach not only your own kids but also any they associate with. A 7 mm Rem Magnum is the perfect rifle IMHO, esepcially if you have a Remington 700, as you can use it for almost anything, just change the load and the projectile. A .300 Win Mag is almost as good.

Things must be getting grim for Canadians. Jobs drying up, housing costs and energy costs skyrocketing, high taxes and headed higher. Now they toy with charging those who try to escape?

500K TO LEAVE CANADA? Punishing citizens for leaving, shows signs of a failing nation- Gunter

I wonder who ends up on Basic Income handouts via a CBDC first? Canada, the UK, Australia, Spain, France? Or should I bet on the Netherlands?

These extractive economies are finding things tough as the old dog of the US shakes the ticks off its back.

There are American shit holes cities that are also charging Exit Taxes.

There's a place in New York that's charging extra taxes if you own a second home there and it's not your primary residence (meaning you currently pay the same real estate tax on that home that permanent residents pay while consuming a fraction of the services that you are funding, but somehow that's causing budget issues.)

San Diego (or some equally well-known California city) now levies an additional $40,000 fee when you sell a home there, on top of whatever else it gets from the transaction.

As an aside, America has had an Exit Tax for high net worth individuals for a very long time. Gotta love it when an abuser can collect a fee from the abusee if the abusee wants out.

Uncle Ned called his son to his bedside in the hospital. He said, "Son, I want you to hurry over to the Board of Elections office and bring me a form to change my registration from Republican to Democrat." "But why, Dad?' You have been a Republican all your life." "Uncle Ned said, "The doctor just told me I am dying. When I die, I want it to be one of them not one of us." 😊
 
I've nearly lost hope that things can ever reach a new "balance" in US politics. It feels like 3/4 of the people don't want anything to do with Dems any more. They seem to be left with leftist crazies, free-stuffers, feministas, hard-headed partisans, wealthy redistributionists who hate the idea of a middle class, and crooked anti-American factions like the Roman Catholic Church who champion untrammeled immigration from the third world.

Now that the race hustlers have lost ground I'm not sure what the Democrats have left aside from lunatics, enemies within, and the irresponsible.
 
My disappointment in this administration is its failure to get the economy back on track. Inflation is killing a lot of us and it isn't funny.

Also, Trump has pledged to get after the health insurance companies to permit people who purchase their offerings, to be able to use these in all states. So far, it hasn't happened. My later daughter in law's oncologist wanted her to be admitted to Sloan Kettering, just across the Hudson River, but Blue Cross, Blue Shield stated she had to use her insurance in NJ.

Sloan Kettering's satellite facilities here are out patient only. They are purely treatment and research centers.

Fortunately they are a part of the Hackensack Meridian Health Group, so, she was able to use one of their hospitals near her home when it became necessary.
 
Trump has now recovered Pope Leo's twitter account and is reposting all the anti-Trump and anti-Vance stuff the Archbishop of Chicago posted before he was elected Pope. David Axelrod from the Obama Administration is reportedly one of Leo's political advisors as the Pope claims he is not political.;)
 
Feminism, the existential scourge of civilization. So many ills of society tree back up to this single disaster. This video tries to tally up just a few of them.

The Girl Boss Illusion: How the State Launders Men's Futures for “Female Empowerment”

I don't really see any "fix" for this. Clearly the start requires stripping the right to vote from women. Otherwise politicians have no resource but to continue rewarding emotionally-driven irrational adult children. I don't see ANY political will for such a radical course of action.

Something's going to give. Maybe we'll have to bring on another Dark Age first, perhaps collapsing to the Islamification feminists are greasing the skids for foolishly. Perhaps the catalyst for that will be the chaos that comes when, as the video points out, A.I. wipes out many of the high-wage paper-pushing and jabber-jawing jobs that parasitize our economy today and mainly employ "educated" women.

They also mention the retard-level IQs of those granted teaching degrees these days. We've allowed this cancer to hollow things out badly.

If there's a less draconian "fix" than a collapse and restriction of "rights" and roles I'm not sure what it might be.
