| QUOTE (DevastatingNews @ 5/26/2022, 06:10 AM) I just have to jump in. I’m in Canada and I’m a lot of ways, we are very much like the States. Similar culture, food, pop culture etc. However, I saw a stat today saying that there has only ever been 2 school shootings in Canada……ever. I can remember one as it was a few hours from where we lived and it was literally days after Columbine so it had everyone on edge. And I can honestly say I don’t even know what the other school shooting even was. I am so sorry to all you mamas scared to send you kids to school. I cannot imagine the stress. All this to say- guns are the problem. You can have guns here- but the only people I know who have them are hunters. People don’t just have guns in their home. That’s not a thing. And we definitely have mentally I’ll people here. And like I said we are very similar to the States. So what’s the big difference here? Gun laws. I don’t understand how people like Nick and Aaryn don’t see that? I truly wonder if they have even thought “what if that was skylas school?”. I HIGHLY doubt they would be defending guns then if it was their child. So gross 🤮
Canada's population is 38 milion and America's population is 329 million... in no way are Canada and America comparable to one another. You're basically California. It's a lot easier to regulate a smaller population.
I can't get over the level of stupidity on here. Seriously! |

Poor little Canadian, Jen! "This American xenophobe is attacking me on a snark forum..." LOL
Don't you have a hockey game to watch? Isn't it the playoffs?
Can we always count on you being here, stoking the flames? Or will you give us a break? You're literally on here... all day, every day. |

| QUOTE (Citrusxoxoxo @ 5/26/2022, 02:36 AM) We don’t need to fund security so that our schools function like prisons. The answer isn’t to hire more police with more weapons so that y’all can have your guns. Gross and disgusting. Moving on from you because if I say what I want I’ll be banned. That’s to byosnark or whatever their name is.
Bless your heart!
They have liaison officers at most high schools, so why can't they have them at elementary and middle schools? No one is asking for towers, barbed wires, and regular pat downs.
If I'm gross and disgusting then you're delusional. |

You care enough about sending 40B to Ukraine and women having access to abortions, but how much do you care about the poor women and girls left behind to suffer in Afghanistan?
You're full of shit! Lololol now you care about the women and girls in Afghanistan? Since when? Your party has always said the US shouldn’t have ever even been there. YOURE FULL OF SHIT. All of the sudden, you care about the people from Afghanistan but up until recently, they were all terrorists. Okay.
This is about as backwards as it can get. It's almost not even worth dignifying with a response.
First, Republicans supported the war on terror which was why George W. Bush was elected for a second term, so they did want our military over there.
Why does it matter to you whether or not I care about women and girls in Afghanistan because you clearly do not. |

USA: sends money to help
People like Aaryn: why are we sending out money to other counties?!? All lives matter just not those ones.
Jen you are not allowed to talk because you are speaking facts lol
You are missing the point, if they have 40B to send to Ukraine then why don't they have more funding for school security?
The two aren't mutually exclusive. |

Apparently I’m not allowed to talk about things that Aaryn herself posts unless I’m American. So maybe mom can give me a special dispensation to discuss Aaryn’s posts on the Aaryn thread. She doesn’t talk about Celine Dion often so I’m limited on things I’m allowed to ✨ discuss ✨.
No, you're telling me that I'm not allowed to have an opinion about the 40b being sent to Ukraine, but when I gave you pushback about how little your own country sent... your only retort is to call me a xenophobe and say that I shouldn't have an opinion about it because x amount of money was spent on the military last year. |

It certainly didn't help when sleepy Joe left all that military equipment in the hands of terrorists, but that's all Trump's fault because "he was planning to pull out anyway." I have expertise in this so I’ll just let you know it would be more expensive than the cost of that equipment to bring it back than to destroy what we can and leave the rest. So stfu about sleepy Joe leaving 20 year old military equipment behind bc you have no idea wtf you’re talking about.

It's not her fault that America doesn't invest enough in public school. You are missing her point. Out of ALL that military budget only a fraction is going to Ukraine. Nah, I’m not allowed to point out the obvious, that some of that bloated spending of $900B could be used for its actual purpose instead of whining about $40B. I’m only allowed to chime in when we discuss maple syrup or toques. You guys give me a ring next time beavers or Tim Horton’s come up.
We should have just matched what Canada sent over.
It's not my fault nothing that great has ever come out of Canada. |

I’m not dictating how the US spends its money, I’m criticizing the thought process that $40 billion in aid is “too much” but $900 billion in defence that’s not being used to defend is somehow okay.

| QUOTE (Citrusxoxoxo @ 5/26/2022, 01:35 AM) More security?? There was security!!!! I send my kid to school to learn not to be surrounded by MORE GUNS/security. The irony of wanting freedom to own guns at the expense of our children having to be locked up In their schools surrounded by more security with less freedoms. Every president has sent aid to other countries. We don’t need to use money for Ukraine to pay more people to guard our schools like prisons. Schools are not prisons. Truly deranged. 40B for our schools to have police/military guard them so gun owners can keep their freedumbs. Only in good ole murica. Such patriots.
Oh please, what would happen if a car drove through kids walking to school at morning drop off? They could potentially kill more than 20 kids. You honestly believe that getting rid of guns will end violence? They'll just make bombs instead.
This country has so many problems because people don't value other people's lives anymore or anything for that matter. |

| QUOTE (OstracizedLikeJen @ 5/26/2022, 01:44 AM) And even if more security WAS the solution… whining about $40b when you already spend $801 BILLION on the military and over $100 billion in federal funding on policing? Here’s a crazy fucking idea if you truly believe that school security is the only option (it’s not) UTILIZE THE DEFENCE YOU ALREADY PAY UPWARDS OF $901 BILLION FOR.
No, you must complain about money sent to a war torn country. THAT money is the money wasted.
Meanwhile Canada hasn't even offered up $1 billion to send to Ukraine, but of course America has to save everyone! Even at our own peril. God forbid American parents wish to have more funding for our public schools instead of sending it off to be given to God knows who, to do God knows what with.
What's more funny is y'all complain about money being sent to support Israel's iron dome so they can avoid getting bombed to death all day long by Hamas, but sure... you care so much!

let’s spend 40B turning our schools into prisons with armed guards thats a good idea I think the point is that if they have 40B to send to Ukraine then they could easily fund schools to have more security. It is a little maddening how much money the government wastes. I think getting rid of guns might solve gun violence, but it's not going to end other types of violence. As it is, they have no security at any of the elementary schools in our district. QUOTE (Purpleaurora @ 5/25/2022, 09:12 PM) She is a SCUMBAG!!
Lookin real piggy today! The glutton that she is. Every time I see a picture of her, she looks fatter than she did before. Agreed about the government wasting money. I do disagree that getting rid of guns will stop gun violence. Unfortunately, the guns won't magically disappear if they are banned. Criminals find ways to get their hands on anything that they want because that's just it...they are criminals. I grew up and worked as a teacher where all the doors were locked and you had to ring a doorbell and show id/state why you were there to enter. Once you were in you were greeted by security guards and I never once felt like it was a prison. I felt safe. It is 100 percent okay for you to disagree with me. I don't need to be called ignorant and stupid JMO.
I agree with you that getting rid of guns will not stop gun violence, but I wanted to appease the people who do believe that. |

The shooter had an AR-15 and forced his way through. The money sent to Ukraine, of all the money the US spends, is not “wasted” money. The US spent $801 Billion last year in military spending. $40 billion is a drop in the bucket and Aaryn pretending that THAT is the money that should be rerouted is just silly.
That's easy for you to say while you're sitting north of us, don't you think? |
