Anything you lose from being honest
You never really had to begin with.


Sometimes it's not the song that makes you emotional it's the people and things that come to your mind when you hear it.

    Thank you ND.It had to be done.

    I'm just proud of students standing up and saying enough to the gun craziness. I don't want to live in a world where carrying a gun is legal and more accepted but carrying a dildo isn't.

    College campuses also tend have a high level of alcohol and drug use which can lead to “impaired judgment about whether to shoot a gun.”

    Like this wouldn't be an issue either. Total recipe for disaster.

    Now dildos, in on the other hand... :whistle:

    It'll be interesting to see whether there are A) more shootings on campus, B) more sexual assaults or C) more very relaxed, chilled out, focused less stressed and sexually frustrated students as a result of guns and dildos on campus. I'm pulling for C in more ways than one.

    I thought this was an all ages forum?

    And all ages will benefit from a protest about open carry being legal on college campuses. One day they will end up on those campuses and I'm sure they will want a say on how this plays out.

    Won't be long before sexual harassment groups shut this down.
    The protest is a unique idea but won't get traction.

    It is and I just know the protesters chose this particular way to protest just so my life would be more difficult. Please discuss this as adults and be mindful that we're an all-ages forum. It's possible to discuss the topic of guns without going all crazy, ok? Thanks.

    My 18 year old daughter, a freshman in college, sent me the link this weekend. I would rather have her in a classroom with students and a teacher carrying dildos instead of guns. (Although that would be kind of a weird class, wouldn't it, ha ha.)

    If the protest continues and moves to her campus, I'll let you know.

    I think it is the best way to point out the ridiculousness of the new law. I don't think giving emotionally immature children the right to carry is a well thought out or appropriate idea. This is going to end badly and anyone with any foresight can see that.

  • northerndragonnortherndragon Posts: 9,851
    The part that truly concerns me is that all of these law abiding citizens carrying guns around have found it necessary to openly publish the personal contact info of the protest organizer and that she has been openly threatened by these folks. This seems to really back up there fervent demand that it is their right and that they are fine upstanding members of society. If the sight of a didlo incites you to threaten another individual you are merely making the point that having guns in the middle of emotional turmoil is not a good idea.

    be careful. someone might go on a rampage with that dildo and kill a bunch of people. hopefully they will have enough good people with dildos to neutralize the bad one.
