  • Same here.

    To me it’s a useless item.

    I saw a competition where competitors would stand on a blue square and quickly shoot all the blue targets that popped up, then move to a red square and shoot the red ones. It was timed and looked like a ton of fun. I thought, this would be the only reason I would buy one. But you know, I have a lot of hobbies. That looked real expensive. I would have to hang around gun ranges and gun people. There would be a dangerous weapon in the house. We don’t have kids but visitors do. My wife doesn’t want it. In the end I just didn’t want it.

    I have a lot of friends who are Democrats and a lot of them own guns. I laugh every time Republicans say Dems want to take their guns. I’m like, no, they just want some simple safety rules and the strange thing is 80% of all gun owners used to to. I don’t know if that’s still true but the number came from the NRA a decade or two ago. Yeah, THE NRA. They even used to be in favor of an automatic weapons ban.

    I don’t think more guns is the answer, but I can kind of see the logic for a lefty to want to defend himself…or his country.


  • Major corporations caused this, only major corporations can solve it. Laws would have to be passed requiring them to offset the damage from everything they do. Coops would need to be set up wherever possible for one industry to reuse waste from another. Subsidies would need to be ethically set up to encourage industry involved with cleaning the environment. Cooperation between nations to combat global issues would be needed. Actual consequences for industries it nations that violate. Education!! And most importantly convince half the world’s population to give a shit or even believe the problem exists. I’ve probably missed some.

    The alternative would be magic.

    Yeah, between the two, I think magic is probably more realistic. Let’s go with that.
