    Exposure to anti-feminist conspiracy theories intensifies rape myth acceptance among sexist individuals

    "Those already inclined to bigotry tend to get worse when exposed to things that validate their bigotry." What a shock, eh?

    Iran Warns US It Will Become Target if it Joins "Zionists" After Retaliatory Drone Attack for Israel Bombing of Iran Embassy

    Bring it. Iran ass won't be any harder to kick than Iraq's.

    What grade do you give your candidates campaign strategy so far?

    I don't have a candidate, really. I am pretty sure I cannot bear to vote for either Trump or Biden.

    True centrists are more repulsed by…

    I find both so repulsive I will probably vote Libertarian this year, first time in a long time.

    Lyrics to the Rolling Stone's Brown Sugar

    There's a LOT of old songs and classic rock that I listened to back-when, and never knew the lyrics very well until I saw them in text, and mostly that was after the Internet became high-baud, and I was in my 40s. Had never read the full lyrics to this before. Back in the day I always thought...

    What should the West do if Isreal and Iran go to war?

    No sir. The US backed the Shah of Iran, who for all his faults was trying to modernize the country, which is what antagonized the Islamist Ayatollahs. Not that it is hard to piss off Islamist extremists. The first thing the Ayatollah did was take hundreds of Americans hostage for around 400...

    What should the West do if Isreal and Iran go to war?

    Iran's ass has been begging to be kicked for 40-some years. Good excuse to get'r done. Smash the ayatollahs and put the moderates in control... the population hates them anyway.

    Biden needs to STOP all weapons aid to Israel NOW! They aren't a member of NATO or any other international body and they do not recognize any UN

    If the USA had a neighboring country that had done something as horrible to us as the Oct 7 attack, we'd bomb them flat, invade and root out the perpetrators and if 500,000 civilian people were killed we'd thumb our nose to the world and say they had it coming. This is easily proven as we...

    South Carolina becomes 29th state in nation with constitutional carry law: 'hard-fought victory'

    I appreciate your extensive reply to the question. I have one caveat: obviously this isn't in America. What works in another country won't necessarily work here. There are already over 400 million guns in circulation, many of them never registered. You can never put that genie back in the...

    South Carolina becomes 29th state in nation with constitutional carry law: 'hard-fought victory'

    I sometimes went to my friend's theater and helped him close up. I had intended to do so that night, but I was tired and fell asleep. If I'd been there, I would have been armed, and much more ready to act than he would have been. I think of this often. It's not anyone's norm, until...

    South Carolina becomes 29th state in nation with constitutional carry law: 'hard-fought victory'

    A ridiculous example that has nothing to do with what I am advocating. My lifestyle is that I protect people who matter to me. I've tried to use the law whenever possible, but they've proven sadly ineffective most of the time... rarely will they take decisive action until someone is already...

    South Carolina becomes 29th state in nation with constitutional carry law: 'hard-fought victory'

    There are plenty of studies proving otherwise. Many that show those who resist suffer less harm on average; that resisting with a firearm is most effective and least likely to result in harm to the victim. The vast majority of DGUs involve no shots fired, and often no police called (probably...

    South Carolina becomes 29th state in nation with constitutional carry law: 'hard-fought victory'

    Friend, I tell you plainly: being armed has saved my ass, and saved people I love, from Bad Things. I tell you plainly: I've lost friends who might have lived if they'd been armed and prepared. Being armed *may* not save me next time... but it might. I'll have much better odds than not...

    South Carolina becomes 29th state in nation with constitutional carry law: 'hard-fought victory'

    Yeah, I had one of those conversations before. "Where did you buy that? I've never seen one of those before..." :)

    South Carolina becomes 29th state in nation with constitutional carry law: 'hard-fought victory'

    You really like to emphasize that fear aspect. There's a joke I think illustrates the disconnect between you and yours, and me and mine. A cop pulled over an older lady on the highway, because her tail light was out. As part of the stop he asked her if she had any weapons. "Well let's...
