It's the low standard of living, stupid!

It's the new mantra of the Right wing Repuggies. Child executions are fine in your party.

Only a liberal stooge would say that. We value all children’s lives. All children. Even the ones at the border. But if a priority must be placed on which ones we help first (and it always has) I will always default to our own citizens first. Always. Period.

Now, when you have the father of a Parkland victim even saying that gun control is not the answer, you know liberals have a long uphill battle. You all refuse to acknowledge the destruction of cities like Chicago and Detroit, blaming it on racism and white privilege. Funny how you never scream for gun control, save when it’s a “mass” shooting. Yet, there are “mass” shootings, by definition, all the time in the inner cities and you all remain quiet. Why is that? Why do you think that making something illegal or banning it will simply make the problem disappear? That’s never happened in the history of the world. I’ve written this before: every day, about 32 people in the United States die in drunk-driving crashes — that's one person every 45 minutes. In 2020, 11,654 people died in alcohol-impaired driving traffic deaths. Yet, we don’t ban cars, liquor or increase the age of drinking. We blame the individual for doing the wrong thing. With great freedoms come even greater responsibilities.

Congratulations, you have set the official "whatabout" record for this thread! Thus demonstrating that you have about as many solutions as your hero Republicans.

Thank you. I accept this award on behalf of every Republican who knows how hypocritical liberals are.

Reading is fundamental.
Nowhere in my meme, Stan's reply, or my reply did anyone mention gun control.
Congrats on being "concerned" with "inner cities".
The caption applies to that issue as well.

You’re very opinionated (and familiar with Stan’s politics and his commenting) for someone who just joined the website today. I’m guessing you are probably Octavia, Stan or ACAB.

Lots of people are opinionated, it would likely be helpful for you to listen to more of them.
And no, I simply scanned our comments for the words "gun" and "control", and found neither.
I'm not any of those people, I just joined today, obviously, since I managed to f**k up my first meme. And I'm still wondering if you are ever going to make a comment that has any kind of helpful opinion or policy debate. Or if you're only interested in bumper sticker politics and spreading nonsense.

Nice try, Stan. Troll somewhere else.

Cool story bro

PoorBarry spends his Friday nights writing "Dear Stan....." love letters lol

Says the guy who joined this site a mere few hours ago.. Good job, Stan, or Octavia or ACAB or whatever liberal troll you are.

"Yet, we don’t ban cars, liquor or increase the age of drinking."

We require driver's licenses, car registrations, speed limits, liquor dealer licenses, drinking age verification, and the age of drinking was raised from 18 to 21 in the mid 80s precisely to reduce drunk driving accidents which those at that age outdid those in older age brackets. Prohibition was a thing once, sadly that came to an end. Drinking age minimums were once nonexistent as well.

Last anyone checked, crimes in cities were generally believed to be committed by the criminals who commit them.
Also, larger popluations tend to have larger numbers of most things because math. When comparisons are made per capita, those crime rates end up telling a somewhat different tale.

Here's an example of a lovely typical safe Georgia town's crime rate vs that of big bad NYC

Note, I ain't a mathematician or statistician, so hopefully I didn't fudge the numbers,,,

This is your very first meme on imgflip & you used it to call out people for being “stupid.” Then, you make a moronic mistake by using “its” instead of it’s. Good job!

For the record, it’s is a contraction of “it is” or “it has.” Its is a possessive determiner we use to say that something belongs to or refers to something. Hope that helps.

Not a good look for your first day on this site and stream.

Yes, I made a mistake, thank you for pointing that out. Honestly it's pretty embarrassing.
Wow, I just admitted making a mistake, praised a "political opponent",
and even showed remorse for a bad decision.
I guess I just disqualified myself from ever being a Republican politician.

Low standard of living that allowed thousands upon thousands spent on guns? The two rifles alone were 5k

Standard of living is about much more than just money or objects. A disturbing portion of this society suffers from a rot that causes hatred to be the default emotion without any critical thinking being applied to the root cause of their problems. Just read any ten replies from "PoorBarry" here, for an example. Parents who exhibit hate on a near daily basis cultivate that environment that their kids grow up in. And here we are. Did you ever ask yourself why there are not (or far less) shootings at private schools?

They claimed that he was poor but he spent over 5k on rifles

No idea, but he got them somehow. We live in a society where "alpha males" have $80k pickup trucks for daily drivers, but cry and whine about fuel prices and minimum wage. First world problems.
