They are certainly NOT radical or communist. They are a tacit recognition and understanding that all want to be free of suffering and that all want to be happy and live in peace. Rich, middle class, or poor.
The self serving ego however must be controlled by the recognition it is the vehicle of separation, not unity.
People like skud, -FJ, Joe Conservative, Thersites, Lisa, et all likely will never recognize the deluded aspect of their self serving selfishness. And the masters of pure selfishness will always be around feeding the victim mentality that will keep us divided and fighting.
If altruism were possible the founding fathers would have never needed to establish a Constitutional system of checks and balances. Keep pretending they were wrong.
btw - The "pc" word is no longer "homeless", it's "unhoused"... shifting the burden of responsibility from "unhoused" individuals and their families to the society, writ large.
I am all for all of these except I would like to add that politicians should not be allowed to capitalize on insider knowledge to become wealthy. No one has to work more than forty hours to live but everyone has to work to pay for food Equal pay for equal work. Support veterans and homeless citizens not illegals. Make schools safe by quickly enforcing the law including swift capital punishment. Make basic healthcare available for everyone but outside of basic healthcare like gender altering surgery and abortions should be private pay.
We could go to china tibetan healthcare where forced abortions, sterilization and infanticide are part of their offering but I don't think many would support it.
Skud posted these two things he supports from our federal government...
Make schools safe by quickly enforcing the law including swift capital punishment. Skud... a person gets pissed off and decides to take his leggally obtained semi auto AR 15 to an elementary school, hops the fence and before the 5 minutes it takes for the cops to get there, has killed 10 kids and then kills himself. How would your solution change this?
Make basic healthcare available for everyone... Skud... can you explain what "basic healthcare" is? Does it include birth control? Cancer care? Mental health care? Elective surgeries like a knee replacement? How about annual checkups or anything known as "well care"? Most healthcare professionals I know would say yes, but do you?
All life should be considered precious skud. Is that not what Jesus of Nazareth taught? Taking additional life solves no problem. It simply desensitizes society to violence.
In a fully civilized society Healthcare would be considered a human right. Not subject to the profit motives of muti- millionaires CEO's and the politicians they buy.
So yeah skud, tell us precisely what you mean by basic Healthcare.
An AR 15 is just a semi automatic rifle and is no more deadly than a Savage Mark ll or a garand. No matter they use to kill there should be swift action taken against them. The only way to prevent shootings is to confiscate all firearms and melt them down. I doubt criminals and gang members will give them up so the effectiveness would be less than ideal.
What you mentioned would be basic healthcare if it allowed a person to resume normal function. I can testify how great TKR allowing people to get back to an active, productive life. I have no issue with abortions because it is the women who has to live with her decision and should be paid for if the womens life in in danger. Breast implants, gender altering surgery on a 15 year old is totally elective. Whatever medicare currently covers is basic.
Of course that will require us to go to a Canadian healthcare system but we could implement the England pay more to get more.
Just an automatic rifle - "May 24, 2022: The Uvalde, Texas, mass shooting at Robb Elementary School that killed 19 students and two teachers. May 14, 2022: The Buffalo, N.Y., Tops supermarket shooting that left 10 people dead. Feb. 14, 2018: Shooting at Stoneman Douglas High School in Fla., leaves 17 people dead. Nov. 5, 2017: The Sutherland Springs, Texas, church shooting that claimed 26 lives. Oct. 1, 2017: The Las Vegas slaughter of 58 people. Two others died later from their injuries. June 12, 2016: The Pulse nightclub shooting in Orlando, Fla., that left 49 dead. Dec. 2, 2015: The San Bernardino, Calif., shooting that killed 14 people. Dec. 14, 2012: The shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut that took 27 lives." Just collateral damage for the NRA
Yup, collateral damage to the morons at the NRA. Until it happens to one of theirs. Or maybe they're so heartless they would consider it collateral loss.
Especially if their Felon Fuhrer framed it as such.
Skud... you didn't even try to explain how your solution of faster capital punishment and quicker enforcement of laws would lead to fewer mass school shootings.
Was the question unclear? Too difficult? I'm just asking how your solution would work. Perhaps your real answer, which you are unwilling to say is in your mind this; there's simply nothing to be done, no change we can make that will help solve school shootings.
At least be willing to say it, if that's where you are.
And no, my asking the question is not me arguing for eliminating all gun ownership in the US. I do not, nor have I ever advocated, the abolition of the right to "bear arms".

Says the deluded who still believe human evolution stopped at colonialism and slavery.
Your egos simply get in the way. Your fear keeps it in charge of your life.

Check your source skud. China might do what you say. Tibetans not so much. In case you're unaware China took control of Tibet in 1959.
