In reply to the discussion: 911 tells young mother, "do what you have to do to protect your baby" [View all]iverglas

Your respect and honor of thugs, while touching, is in stark contrast to your disrespect of people who merely hold the wrong political views. (Anyone who doubts this can search on iverglas right wing piece of shit to see her calling people "shit" for their views on politics.)
My goodness. What, exactly, are "views on politics"?
I imagine they would be something like:
Politics is an honourable profession
or
Politics is a dirty game.
I don't recall ever expressing any opinion of anyone for their views on politics.
Now, if someone cares to google iverglas breitkreutz right wing piece of shit, for example, you will find an example of me calling someone a right wing piece of shit because of his views on women (e.g. his sustained efforts to enact legislation to violate women's fundamental rights, demonstrating his contempt for women and desire to have women treated as subhuman).
Oh hey, maybe I did call him a right wing piece of shit for his views on politics -- given that he made up and propagated the big lie about the cost of the Canadian firearms registry over a decade, and thereby irremediably fouled the Canadian political discourse, with the aim of overturning a public policy that the vast majority of Canadians supported, in order to further the agenda of the right-wing pieces of shit who comprise his political constituency ... you may have a point there: his view of politics is obviously that it is a dirty game, since he played it by lying and cheating. So hey, maybe that statement of yours isn't entirely false after all!

I know, you've invested lot of money in guns and learning to kill. That would be your first move.

I think that most fair-minded people can detect "dirty" when they see it.

I'm glad mom and baby are fine. Of course, robbers might have been there to steal guns.

If they were there to steal guns, they would be "robbers." Still mom did right thing.

So you're saying if she had been denied ownership of the guns she would have been safer?

As a case in point, post 63 above is your defense of the honor of an armed robber and home invader.
