"I don't like what you said therefore it's bullshit."

Also - you don't seem to understand what the saying "fuck you I got mine" means eh? I support child care spending even though I'm at the end of my having to pay for it. I think a UBI should be piloted better because one of the root causes of gun crime is extreme poverty. I support more social programs for everyone.

So no, I don't think "fuck you I got mine" is a appropriate description of me. You should probably try and insult me by calling me a socialist.

No it's not the case but I appear to have pressed one too many buttons. You're ranting now for very little good reason and putting words into my mouth to try and make yourself feel better. You're indirectly implying how virtuous you are by stating your beliefs and what the government should do. We're on a gun related subreddit*.

I don't really care.

You are utterly frustrating to argue with. This is why we're losing the gun debate, people like yourself can't string a complete and logical thought together.

Frustrating to argue with? I'm not trying to waste time arguing about politics that aren't related to guns in any matter. Someone asked you how cost of living has improved at all, now here you are ranting about socialism and trying to prove how good of a person you are. I never wanted to argue.

"People like myself" aren't the reason why we're losing the gun debate. People like you voting liberal are why this debate is in such a bad state; liberal voters give liberals more room to talk and act irrational towards guns.

I don't vote Liberal, but my guns aren't my only identity and other things in life matter more.

Also if you don't want to talk about politics perhaps you shouldn't be in the weekly/bi-weekly politics thread buds.

NDP somehow is a better vote? It's not Layton era anymore. Sorry to inform you that there are many other people like me where guns comprise a big part of their values. I know it's hard to understand that other people think differently.

This thread is related to gun related politics. This isn't the place for me to virtue signal and talk about carbon taxes; neither have anything to do with guns. I talk about guns and gun culture because that's what this place is for.

I love how you make assumptions about me, then attack those assumptions. I feel like that is a logical fallacy of some sort...oh wait it is. Leave the strawmen in the cornfields.

Well, no CPC, PPC or independent voter says things like you've said. Maybe if you didn't wear your politics on your sleeve I wouldn't be saying these things.

Also, you're still going. I don't understand how you're this invested. I think it's time to give it a rest.

I'm clearly bored to continue engaging with either of you. How's the weather where you live?

u/[deleted] Jun 11 '22

No, I think it's because one of us pushed your buttons and you're trying to one up us by going on some tangent. Stop.

2

u/Cadaren99 on Jun 11 '22

No, I don't think I will. It clearly annoys you otherwise you'd stop egging me on.

u/[deleted] Jun 11 '22

Lol it doesn't annoy me I'm grilling food. You just proved my point, you're trying to one up us in an attempt to save face. Stop.

u/Cadaren99 on Jun 11 '22

You know I'm not going to stop, so you stop.

What do you think of the argument of 9mm vs 45? Personally I like the idea of having more than 8 rounds but an argument could be made for 45 and all that stopping power. What's the saying, the best weapon is the one you only have to fire once?

Do you genuinely have any kids because I don't see a parent acting like this. Why were you so riled up over daycare?

That's a dead debate and the fact you're even asking proves you're no-guns.

u/Cadaren99 on Jun 11 '22
