So I feel like I got a Participation Award today

[Mark W.]

So someone posted a TicTok reel with some guy in a balaclava asking what would you do if I was breaking in your house. I said I would move over to my baseball bat as I headed to my revolver. Should you manage to actually get into my house. I would spend about .2 seconds deciding if I could stop your threat to me and my family with the bat (which would take the form of me hitting you with the bat many many times) should I determine the bat would not stop you I would use the revolver at which point you would never worry about anything again. And I'll be danged if they Facebook didn't ban me from commenting for 2 days. I feel like in some small way my work is done and they gave me the Facebook version of a participation award. I've learned my lesson when I get back on I'll just start posting videos of girls about 1/2 a step from porn they seam just fine with that!

Getting banned on lefty platforms let's you know you're over the target

Hmmm....now only if there was a firearm forum where the questions of :

What gun is best for home defense...?
What cartridge is best for home defense...?
Were asked... seemingly endlessly....

In any event...glad that you hang your hat here Mark.

I find it questionable that people use fark-book for anything other than keeping up with family or close friends in other cities. That kind of crap should, I would think, tend to stifle the urge to post anything. they make money off treating people like garbage. Half of what you read on those kinds of sites may be altered anyway.

Getting myself banned for a week on ifish because I posted mainstream media links for informational purposes on a thread that got closed. "Secret" demerit points add up. Makes me not want to participate.

When someone gets that upset over links to mainstream reporting it just tells you they only want echo chamber. It is amazing to watch people who claim to want "free speech" as they scream for censorship to protect freedom. The best part is the useful idiots who go along really do not see what they are asking for, until it hits them. I LOVE it when someone who was all in on cancel culture gets eaten by the monster they fed.

So if your answer was (politically) correct, did they tell you what the right answer is? They must know.......

I think we've come to the point that "Those People" Do NOT want free speech. Seem like it's come to that in the last three years or so. Because speech has become "Harmful' and hurts feelings.
Sticks and stones will break your bones, and speech can hurt you too! Nome sayin' ??

Shouldn't it be "Weakness is strength?" I mean, if you want to be consistent. I'm surprised @sobo hasn't corrected you by now. Is he OK?

He hasn't corrected me because I'm right.

It's from the book 1984 by George Orwell.

Wait, I want to change my answer.

I'd have expected a well-read person to recognize the source.
