Would love to see a citation on this. Not familiar with the specifics and would love to know more but I had trouble finding this specific story

🙌PREACH🙌

These are the types of arguments we ought to be making memes about. Well reasoned, well spoken, and based in facts that are irrefutable

Kudos. Thank you for doing "fuck cars" the right way 💪❤️

See, THAT is a reasonable, thoughtful argument. Yes, the density of cars in our cities is dangerous.

But there is not some epidemic of vehicular murders going unpunished.

Rather, we have normalized living in a high risk environment. And THAT is the crux of the problem. Not law enforcement

Perhaps that's because... There usually aren't fatalities inside the home???

Like, not only is it a giant, loud object that can be seen coming in many cases, but the impact with the house exterior dissipates a huge portion of the energy.

When people get killed my a car, they don't die from the car hitting them. It's almost always the impact with the ground that causes severe head trauma. Otherwise it's a neck or spinal injury.

Those types of injuries are just way, way less likely to happen when a car drives into a building.

I'm getting really sick of people around here not showing even a modicum of logical thought and just screeching "CaRs BaD!!" every other sentence.

Fuck cars, for a lot of reasons. We don't need to make up new ones that are silly and illogical. We have plenty of really good reasons to say fuck cars that don't involve bullshit claims re: murder charges or a lack thereof

And did that kid get off with a "oopsies!"? No? Then how is that related to this thread?

I just crossposted a meme that referenced one of my favorite Stargate scenes 🤷

They're not comparable.

If I'm at a firing range, where it is expected that people are carrying guns and ammunition, I can pull the same "oops, my finger slipped" excuse.

Similarly, if I drive my car around the side of your house and into your back yard to run you over, I can't claim "my foot slipped".

Seriously, stop with the mental gymnastics. We don't need to reach for more reasons to say "fuck cars." There are plenty within arms reach

Great questions! You've identified systemic racism! Congratulations!

You're not helping. Stop being an inflammatory troll

When you believe that showing children that something exists is equivalent to propaganda, you are part of the problem.

God forbid someone have to tell their kids "sometimes men love other men", or "sometimes, people are born with a body and mind that don't agree with each other".

You are using the exact same arguments people have used to keep gay people, black people, and anyone else they hate from being represented in media forever

You don't see the cross being tossed into every children's show

This is a ridiculously inaccurate statement. Characters have been going to church, or reading the Bible, or wearing a cross necklace, or any of a hundred other forms of displaying Christian identity in television, movies, and ALL other media since the rise of Christianity.

I'm not sure whether you're being intentionally misleading or just are blind to the reality you've been living in, but it's seriously worrying.

Seriously, reflect on yourself a bit. You sound really ignorant and hateful

This is incredibly reductive and makes us look like idiots who don't understand "intent".

I get it, fuck cars, but this is ridiculous and only serves to make us look like a joke

You used the term "NATO stan" and call my response a cliche? I could tell you were a .ml user without even looking at your account.

The irony is entertaining. Thanks for the laugh, tanky
