A Good Kid With a Rock

Found on Facebook.

1. And that doesn't make any more sense than

what the gun nuts say about guns

We are so fucked and on so many levels

[BannonsLiver]

6. I don't believe making sense is the aim of the meme.

The aim of the meme is to mock the gun nut logic, it would appear.

[madokie]

8. Oh I agree with your assessment

just making light of the fact that the nutters logic is stupid too.

We're on the same page

Peace

35. Exactly!

My best friends' daughter, who in the last few years turned into a rw gun nut after hanging out in Vegas with cowboys too often, wrote -

Guns don't kill people
Bad people kill people one way or another
Punish the bad people, not the good gun owners.

They argued for a bit and then finally he wrote - I'm done with you!

So sad that she put her guns first. Why the fuck are so many people so attached to guns that will never help them and have a far greater likelihood of killing them, their children or others? I just don't get it. (I unfriended her ages ago when she started posting anti-Hillary and pro-Drumpf memes on FB. I've known her since she was born, and am best friends with her parents, but had to unfriend her since she's now a Drumpf voter and a gun crazy.

2. That's all well and good

But how large were the rocks? That's what really matters in this discussion.

[Different Drummer]

3. They were YUGE! The biggest rocks! The best rocks! n/t

[ProudLib72]

5. Were they thrown silently

Or did each kid let out a yell before throwing? How many rocks was each kid allowed to carry at any given time? Were there mildly dangerous animals in the vicinity of the playground? Did any of the rocks hold sentimental or historical value? Were all rocks obtained through proper channels, or were some rocks obtained through trading at a rock show?

Look, there are just too many questions that need answering before we can decide on the issue of kids with rocks. I am going to have to say that, in order not to infringe on any kid's constitutional right to have a rock on a playground, we must cease all consideration of the issue and just let them do whatever they want.

23. Also, youre not using the correct terms, so the point is moot.

You’re talking about “rocks” when the correct term is “stones,” and sometimes you really seem to be referring to “boulders” so it’s impossible to discuss this with you at all. You clearly don’t know the difference between granite or shale. Your opinion is dismissed.

[ProudLib72]

24. I'm going with Gorsuch on this

Point out the specific place in the Constitution where is says that kids cannot have rocks on a playground. If it makes the kid happy, then taking the rocks away would infringe upon his/her right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. I refer to the case of Beatles White Album of 1968 in which it was clearly noted that happiness is a warm rock.

[yardwork]

25. Well, if The Beatles said it, it must be true.

[ret5hd]

4. Well, just wait till one of the kids gets one of THESE!

[Mendocino]

13. You'll put your eye out!

[Binkie The Clown]

7. Brilliant! K&R nt

[ffr]

9. Now's not the time to have a rock debate.

[MyOwnPeace]

20. Time-out!

Have to clean the keyboard after that one!

[ewagner]

32. ...and the winner of the internet today is...

FFR!!!

[hack89]

10. FB is not know for intellectual discourse.

the OP is just one of many examples.

[sarisataka]

11. Obviously we need to ban rocks

Or at most if a kid wants to keep a rock at home that can be okay with his parents permission. There is no need for any kid to carry a rock in public

[ToxMarz]

17. If you ban rocks, then only the bad kids who don't follow the rules will have rocks

No, everyone must have a rock. Better, everyone must have many rocks. Everyone must have as many rocks as they can get their hands on.

[anneboleyn]

19. Yep. And there are so many rocks out there why not be sure that every kid has at least several rocks

You know, for self-defense against the bad kids with rocks? And of course we should always assume that all kids trying to acquire rocks through the teacher have only good intentions and do not intend to misuse their rocks in any way whatsoever.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

28. Oh yes. As many rocks as they can buy. Rock stores, and rock dealers, more new and improved rocks,

A National Rock Association to represent them, whip up business, and look out for Our interests in Congress.

I love how every time there's a massacre, my rock stock portfolio gets fatter.

[Mendocino]

12. It's a rock

a hard rock...a biggly rock...made from ocean rocks.

[Doreen]

30. Don't forget there are islands of rocks.

[billh58]

14. K & R

Too subtle for some it seems...

[anneboleyn]

18. Seriously. I think some people are missing that it's sarcasm, as in /s

[jayschool2013]

15. Thoughts and Prayers

This is not the time to be discussing anyone's god-given right to possess a nuclear rock. Now is the time to keep the child hit by the rock in our thoughts and prayers.

There will be a time and place for that discussion.

Until then, rock on, kids!

[Mr. Ected]

16. Except there are hundreds if not thousands of rocks already on that playground

It'll be impossible removing all those rocks.

Even harder to get the kids to cough up the rocks they already have in their pockets.

They should have never allowed so many rocks on the playground before the kids went out for recess.

[Generic Brad]

21. Or a good Kid Rock

Is there such a thing?

[Different Drummer]

22. That thought just occurred to me. n/t

[Ohiya]

26. I want my kid to have an automatic rock throwing device...

... so he'll be even safer!

P.S. with a silencer so his ears don't get hurt!

[IronLionZion]

27. A heavily rocked society is a polite society

as we know all of those kids will be sure to play nice with each other since the alternative is mutually assured rock throwing.

[Ray Bruns]

29. I think we should look at this from the military point of view

I mean, supposing the Russkies stashes away some big rocks, see. When they come out in a hundred years they could take over... In fact, they might even try an immediate sneak attack so they could take over our rocks... I think it would be extremely naive of us, Mr. President, to imagine that these new developments are going to cause any change in Russian expansionist policy. I mean, we must be... increasingly on the alert to prevent them from taking over other rock producing spaces, in order to breed more prodigiously than we do, thus, knocking us out in superior numbers when we emerge! Mr. President, we must not allow... a rock throwing gap!"

33. Love a Dr. Strangelove reference.

I blame the fluoridation of the children's ice cream. Ice cream, Mandrake, children's ice cream!

Clearly, this is too important to be left to politicians. They have neither the time, the training, nor the inclination for strategic thought.

God willing, we will prevail, in peace and freedom from fear, and in true health, through the purity and essence of our natural fluids

[Doreen]

31. It's Obama's fault for not having all of those rocks removed.

[VOX]

34. "I'll give you my rocks when you pry them from my cold, ossified hands!"

And not a moment before.
