MODERATORS
When it's about cars, the "think of the children" machine suddenly breaks.
Or guns in the ’Murica.
These fucking people always uses "think of the children", religion, and the Constitution for their own perspective but suddenly dismiss it when it comes to feeding children, children safety and freedom of speech of speech they don't like.
They are hypocrites and they don't care that they are.
Disarming the rich and powerful won't ever happen. Disarming queer then black then poor folk will.
Come on. Electing pedophile presidents ring a bell?
And ironically it's one of the few cases where it's a legitimate argument since the kids are actually being killed instead of merely exercising their autonomy in a way someone doesn't like.
No, it just switches to “ten points each” mode.
Oh for cars it works, just not for anything actually benefitting children directly.
