Sure, two of us quoted it and didn't get your edit, but it's OUR FAULT we didn't see it.

I quoted your entire post, as did @lickin_starfish. There was NOTHING about mental health in it. So you edited it AFTER I quoted it. So: 1) Your original post had nothing to do with mental health. 2) Don't give me sh*t for not rereading your edited post where you tried to pretend you had more to say than I quoted originally. What a pathetic tactic, to edit a post and pretend I somehow ignored part of it.

I'll simply quote a small portion of your first post, that I responded to: Now, you didn't mention guns by name, but if you're not talking an incident that involved guns and a school you're getting in to @squistion territory, as Jerry noted in another thread. I hope you don't want to be associated with his ability to argue semantics.

This is not my point, and I'm not opposed to additional gun control. I'm opposed to gun control theater that won't make a difference and will clog up our already congested court system. When we can agree on a baseline for acceptable gun incidents and measures that may help us get to that baseline I'm more than willing to talk. But when politicians say we need to ban guns they can't even define like "assault rifles" after an incident involving a handgun I tune out.

No. If you want to counter anything I've written go ahead. The FACT is we have REASONABLE gun control in most of this country already. Your post is a lazy post. Just a drive by nothingburger post really. Oh, and I say this frequently in these discussion, but it's worth noting. I don't own a gun and likely never will. But I see what the end game is from the gun control lobby. So, I'm willing to listen to changes to our rules but only when supported by logic and/or data on how it will have an impact on these incidents and not just restrict gun rights with no ROI.

Eh. They should just go straight to a Lingerie league. That might garner some actual interest.

We have 300+ million people in this country. In a free society there WILL be incidents. Until the lefties are willing to acknowledge that FACT and talk about a baseline for when they will stop b*tching about gun control before the bodies have even been counted I'm not playing their game. In this case the guns used were a handgun and shotgun which are the two weapons the lefties constantly tell us are the guns they DON'T want to take away from us. Yet here we are talking about gun control already. The only "charade" is the one where the lefties pretend they don't want to eliminate guns completely. At least @GobbleDog doesn't push that notion. He admits he wants to get rid of all of them.

It's almost like teaching kids that the world isn't fair might be a wise thing for us to do. Too bad we stopped doing that 25 years ago. Now we're reaping the repercussions of that choice.

As I suggested yesterday, I think Rusty uses his Pimpledoosh account when he just wants to "normal" troll and his Ron Artest account when he's going full a-hole. Only explanation I've got for why someone would actively use multiple accounts.

Well, so much for Star Wars. It was a good run for the most part.

I heard commentators in a men's basketball game talking about Caitlin Clark. I guess she's some hot shot chick college bball player. They said she stayed in college because she can earn more with her NIL deals than the WNBA. Last time I remember hearing, and it was early in the WNBA's existence, those chicks made like 100k a year. Let's assume it's 200k now, maybe it's a bit more, I dunno. But Clark is making millions via NIL deals. No reason for her to leave early.

Such a simplistic view. Here, have a cookie.

Yeah, give us money so we can continue leaving the door wide open. Republicans: Ok. DEAL!!!!

Neither do I. Guns prevent more tragedies than they cause. It's a shame people such as yourself and RustyRon are so ignorant.

The following are comments from the Medical Director of the largest hospital in Los Angeles: Now, for some reason, the county has just reinstituted a mask mandate for healthcare facilities in the county.

Better listen to him @jonmx. He is the bored expert on such matters.

You mean Blackface Jimmy? Don't fool yourself. They're both Dooshes.

Based upon previous precedent we should just hand this "award" to CH and call it a day.

Two out of three ain't bad. It's too bad @jerryskids was unable to use his substantial influence to help root out the third bad apple:

Why do you switch accounts so much Rusty? Do you use pimpledoosh when you're just regular trolling and Ron Artest when you want to be particularly distasteful? What is the criteria?

Oh, there's no doubt her testimony had something to do with all of this. But the fact is she never should have been President of Harvard to begin with. She's done irreparable harm to their reputation. Just because the impetus behind investigating her was her atrocious statements to Congress doesn't mean the investigation and/or it's findings aren't legit.  Why do you switch accounts so much Rusty? Do you use pimpledoosh when you're just regular trolling and Ron Artest when you want to be particularly distasteful? What is the criteria?

I dunno about that. I assumed Mike just didn't want his personal info shared.
