I've lived in 4 different countries, been a legal gun owner in 3 of them. Im an immigrant to Canada and have watched this country deteriorate first hand. I try to make the best of what I can here like all of us do with guns, but its dishonest to say that we have more freedom than USA or that our situation isnt straight fucked.
Easy mistake to make, assuming a guy making points contrary to presented evidence is fueled by social media. Guess rephrasing is needed: "Guy thinks his anecdotes are above evidence." That more palatable?
Yeah. As a matter of fact, yeah. My lived experiences or anecdotal evidence is much more real than what others say it is. And I'm tired of pretending otherwise. Call me a fool all you want, but I see the world person by person, place by place, experience by experience.
I would not dare call you a fool. Even a fool can accept that lived experience does not constitute evidence other than testimony. Further still, you are supposedly too worldly. No, you are much worse. Confidently ignorant, maybe.
Man, come on. Get off the high horse. Lived experience is the most real evidence you'll ever receive. But if you want to judge others and call them ignorant, that's on you. I won't hold against you what you've been told to think about others who share different beliefs than you. So as long as you don't resort to violence, I don't care man. I can be civil.
It is the most VIVID evidence one can receive, absolutely. Not the most 'real.' Eyes can deceive, worse still, so can people. If you are as worldly as you say then you should know.
You should hold it against me, I'm the one saying it, not some made up being you conjured. I own what I said. Funny you think someone told me to think you're ignorant. Its easy to minimize what someone is saying when you pass it off as not their own.
