You’re an idealistic moron. Find me a society that exists on a scale like a modern nation that doesn’t have police. Your fantastical communism exists on a kibbutz and nowhere else.

Even if 100% of the police officers in the country need to be replaced, we still need police. Are you truly debating this?

If you’re simply against the establishment of having police, you’re by default “pro-criminal.”

Yes, or just not vote at all.

But I like shitting on the sidewalk. 😉

No, I’m not that pessimistic. Their allegiance is to party loyalty, not an opposing political viewpoint like facism. The guy’s a true believer, and his intent isn’t to sabotage to Democratic Party but to reform it. I don’t agree with all of his positions, but I like him better than Cuomo right now. The real issue is that Cuomo isn’t a right-wing Nazi like the Far-Left want you to believe. Maintain your centricity and don’t get played into viewing things the way the media outlets and political parties want you to see them.

I’m so tired of people opposing a “pro-cop” bias. You can be against corruption in police departments without being pro-criminal. Police are the people we should be supporting, because they enact the force of law, which is what keeps society stable. That there is corruption among the police just means we need to attack that problem directly, not get rid of police. Those who want to get rid of police are anarchist fuckwits who want crime lords to rule society, and they should be dealt with the same way we deal with criminals.

Won’t work. Democrats are like any other voting group: they stick with their party, no matter the majority candidate. Because losing to the enemy is worse than losing to an infra-party faction. This is how Trump got elected twice. It’ll happen again, because people are predictable.

I couldn’t for most of my life, but then I just tried about two years ago and it clicked. I’ve been able to ever since. It’s a cognitive skill. Once you learn it, it’s like riding a bike. I hate to make it sound as exclusive as it is, because that’s what turned me off of it to begin with, but it really is true. Just figure it out and it’s like a code that you can decode at will.

And why should he not? Obama runs the Shadow Government, along with Hillary. They head the Jewish cabal that owns the world. They sent Joe Biden and Kamala Harris to rape our babies. Jeffery Epstein was a Jewish mole who was trafficking our children and turning them away from Christ. Bernie Sanders is a Jewish scientist who has been secretly turning the mosquitoes gay so they can spread the gay agenda.

Not that hard.

I get her username reference! Gnome Anne’s Inn from Quest for Glory V: Dragon Fire.

I don’t really see how that’s possible, but okay.

Okay, well, I guess stupid people gonna suffer then.

I don’t see how you could survive a shotgun blast to the back or top of your mouth, much less a bomb. At the very least, the brain stem is vaporized, and you can’t survive without that. I suppose if you turned the barrel to the side and just blew out your cheek and jaw, perhaps, but that’s being stupid.

Yeah, my point was simply that it’s not hard to kill yourself, like the OP asserted. Obviously, many people would have other considerations in mind (e.g. pain, the state of your body afterwards, etc).

It is NOT difficult to kill yourself intentionally, at all.

• Make a simple, strong slip knot to use as a noose, secure it somewhere that will support your body weight, tie your hands behind your back so that you can’t easily get out of the restraints, and jump off a ledge of some kind. It won’t break your neck and you’ll die agonizingly, but you will almost certainly die of asphyxiation. Even more effective if you tie yourself up in weights and jump into deep water.
• Shotgun. Easily procurable in America. Stick in mouth with buckshot and pull trigger. Messy, but effective.
• Lots of ways to make powerful bombs with materials you can find in stores. Make one and set it off in your mouth.
• Lock yourself in a room with carbon monoxide. So long as no one’s coming to get you, it’s a nice, peaceful way to go out.
• Snort a sugar cube’s worth of fentanyl.
• Sever any major artery and get in a bathtub full of water so the wound can’t seal easily. Cope with the pain until you pass out. As long as no one finds you, you dead.

I could go on, but I think I’ve been morbid enough.

Thankfully, suicidal impulses are just that: impulses. They are relatively short-lived (10-20 minutes on average) and then they pass. You may still be depressed, but the urge to end it all is no longer there, for most people. One of the best things you can do when you’re feeling suicidal is just to go to sleep. When you wake up, you’ll likely feel better. The vast majority of people who attempt suicide and live regret it almost immediately, and most of them do not attempt it again.

However, there are people who enter long suicidal states, where they’ve genuinely made up their mind to end their lives. With these people, no matter what the psychiatric intervention is, short of permanently restraining them, they will almost always find a way to kill themselves. The truth is you cannot stop a person who is truly intent on ending their life. And I for one am very thankful for that, because living should always be a choice. We should not be in the business of forcing people to live torturous, agonizing lives from which there is no real escape or remedy. Everyone should have the option of “getting off the ride” if they so choose. Ultimately, it’s no one’s business but their own.

From what I know about people who voted for Trump most of them are well aware of that

Mhrm…I don’t know that I agree with that. Most Trumpers I’ve talked to have dismissed obvious criticisms of him as overblown slander and have cast him as a respectable businessman who genuinely wants to help the working and middle class. The one thing they seem to accept is that he’s rude and lewd, but they’re willing to forgive him for that.

Sadly, Trump’s success has shown me that when it comes to character judgment, the general population is severely lacking.

They may be internally consistent with their own ideologies sometimes, but the real problem is that they make the mistake of believing that Trump and the people supporting him have ideologies consistent with theirs. The rude awakening will be that they voted for simple racists who want to kick non-Whites out of America for absolutely no reason at all.

I suspect that if she is allowed to stay in the country it will be because of the media coverage her case has gotten, not because ICE sees that she’s one of the “good ones.” For her and her family though, it will be irrefutable proof that they were right to place their faith in Trump. For that reason alone, I hope she’s deported; because it will shatter that faith for them and many other Trump supporters. I know it’s wrong, but I think it will serve a greater purpose.

Personality disorders aren’t like “regular” mental health disorders, because with most disorders, it’s the patient who suffers. With personality disorders, those suffering are usually the ones around the patient.
