  • He’s saying the call to close a beach should be local, not at the state level. Of course the locals will never close a beach. Anyone seen Jaws?

    OTOH, I’m not aware of anywhere here in NW Florida that suffers pollution. Red tide maybe should call for a shutdown, and I believe it occasionally does.

    And I have to agree. Anyone choking our economic lifeline isn’t getting back in office to do it again. Seems an easy call when you’re not fucking with 10’s of thousands of livelihoods.

    No idea what the answer is, but a higher authority (the state) should make the call.








  • Then I ask this: School shootings simply never happened when I was a kid in the 70’s and 80’s. We had far less regulation*. Any asshole could buy a gun, get it delivered to their doorstep, and they were cheap. Yes, even AR-15s.

    This shit all started with Columbine. Want to suicide and go out the most horrific way possible? Shoot up a school!

    So no, it’s not the guns. Nothing has really changed on that front. So what happened?

    * One exception: Conceal carry laws were nothing like today, far more restrictive. I’m leaving that out because criminals and mass murderers hardly give a shit about carrying illegally. Would that stop you if you were intent on murder? Also, at the same time, the laws around transporting guns generally became more restrictive.


  • To opponents it’s not a medical diagnosis, it’s a choice. Same for anything other than cis people, except the notion of people transitioning is far, far worse.

    They believe that a person chooses to be gay, but at least that choice is reversible, fixable. If it’s a choice, it’s not a choice a child can make. And teens are certainly impressionable.

    Once you truly internalize where conservatives are coming from, it pretty much explains all these views. Almost forgot, we gotta throw in the child molester thing. What a win that propaganda turned out to be.

    We can talk all night about how stupid these views are. Turned a friend around years ago by simply asking, “If it’s a choice we all have, when did you make yours? Because Wonder Woman comics got me a hardon when I was 5.”
