The Republican Utopia

Porn ruins lives and families. However legislators trying to ban it will have the same success as prohibition unfortunately.   Crack down on child porn and predatory practices somehow/ someway. Provide mental health initiatives to those addicted to porn.

Gambling, alcohol, religion, and pretty much anything else also potentially ruins families.  
 

And no, I didn’t say religion as a cheap point.  A former student killed herself because her “religious” parents couldn’t handle her being gay.  That seems pretty destructive to the family unit to me…
 

 
in the republican utopia....wearing a mask is living in fear and a violation of your freedoms.....but kids wearing bulletproof backpacks to school in class rooms with bullet proof glass on the doors and windows and doing active shooter drills while wackos can buy any type of weapon and as much ammo as they like isn't living in fear and all within everyone's rights

I had a neighbor shoot and kill his mom when he was a 14-year old.  His parents were very religious, strict, and home schooled their 3 kids.  The final straw was when the parents told the kid he wouldn't be able to attend the public high school (which he could see from his front door).  Of course the dad had a cabinet with a few guns, which he kept on display and unlocked.  I don't have an issue with religious people, but I do think that extremes to either side lead to destructive behavior.

Geesh.   Never knew this.   
 

I wonder if this is like the companies that sell 30 year food pouches to the doomsday’rs.   How effective would a bulletproof backpack be when it doesn’t protect the front chest cavity, many kids would have them in their lockers or cubbies during the day and not by them in the unlikely event a school shooting happened.

I think the rationale is they could hold it in front of them towards the shooter if needed. Not ideal but at least it would be something.  Tragic that it even needs to be considered.
