You are starting to making me very uncomfortable accusing me of things that are not in any way true. Accusations of intolerance when no intolerance exists is intolerance.

I haven't accused you of anything. I'm asking why you thought that information was relevant to either the "never again" movement, or to #metoo?
If it is indeed relevant in some way that's totally fine by me. I just don't see it. Perhaps you could be so kind as to enlighten me?

Agreed.
@Pokeyslow you’ve already been instructed by Admin @joeylittle to start a new thread if you can’t stay on topic. 7 day threadban.
Anyone else who wishes to continue the OT discussion can either start a new thread, or also be threadbanned from this one.

As awful as that idea sounds technically It would be a sorta reveal on how the real power operates. Instead of the shadow government electing multiple faces for periods and terms giving the illusion of choice to the people. We'd be forced to deal with the fact that the same small group of people run the show time and time again. Belonging to their massive secret societies like Skull n Bones an what not. Plus the new world order is pushing for a one world government. So I wouldn't see why they wouldn't have it lined up for a one world leader either.

When the 2nd amendment was created, we did not have these assault rifles. At first, I thought that citizens do not really need to have these and maybe they do need to be banned, but theres always more to think about in any of these decisions. Im a democrat basically but like most of us, I have my unique set of beliefs and they are open for discussion and change.
As others have pointed out, the 2nd amendment allows individuals to have guns( assault weapons) to protect themselves against government (should that ever be necessary). I don't think we need to loose more rights. I guess I am on the fence about gun laws.
I think it was justmehere , in an earlier post, who stated that any expelled kid needs to have social services involved and an evaluation. I totally agree and thought that was already happening too. I also know that social workers are overworked with heavy caseloads and that prevention requires that no kid falls between the cracks here. I just don't think that our country is willing to provide the necessary funding and adequate programs to do what is needed to prevent these tragedies.
I worked for a short time for an agency that provides services for adolescents. Counselors/Social Workers see these at risk kids, often in the home or school setting and less frequently in the office. Most are paid for by Medicaid rather than private insurance. Medicaid pays substantially more than private insurances would and it was all about billing, not doing a good job in many aspects. There are some good agencies that provide services, but there are many that are not so good and it comes down to making big $$$ for CEO's and paying workers very little. I did not have to work and could not do what I consider a half ass job so I resigned, but I got a first hand view of how this all works and it made me sick. I was told to back date reports($$$) which is reason to loose license-of course I did not do it! I have had many colleagues that also worked for different agencies right out of school and heard the same kinds of things from them. IMO, so much is needed to repair the mental health system that is in place for these kids.

@Justmehere I was sickened by Trump and his statement about extending the presidency. But not surprised. He has already gotten away with so many stupid things and possibly unlawful that nothing really shocks me anymore.
If this was any other president, they would have been out of office by now, or at the very least impeached. Bill Clinton anyone????????

Pediatricians Call For Universal Depression Screening For Teens
This is a start. If they did it like they do scoliosis screenings and had counselors available to do further assessments on students and make referrals, it would make a huge difference.

Last week 300 high school students in my area walked out of school to protest. I haven’t heard if there will be a protest in my area, but I was kind of hoping to make it to Washington. IDK.
I hope and pray that these kids don’t stop. I want them to continue their fight. I want them to have a voice, and to do the things that the adults have failed to do.
I can’t believe that Florida didn’t pass a new law banning assault rifles. They failed to get the votes. They failed to get the votes for making it a crime to carry a weapon within 50 yards of a school zone too.
I should be happy that they banned bump stocks and they raised the age to 21 to purchase a gun. I just don’t think they went far enough. But, it’s progress.

The raising the age to purchase/ own a firearm thing that’s cropping up all over just blows my mind. My own state is being particularly brain dead about the wording of various proposed laws, trying to -essentially- simply duplicate alcohol purchase/ possession/ consumption laws.
They wanna raise the age to ENLIST to 21, too??? Hell. I enlisted at 17. 4 years later I was still only 20. 18%-37% of the US Military, depending on branch, is UNDER 21. https://www.statisticbrain.com/demographics-of-active-duty-u-s-military/
