@@Shrimp_Eggg Damn really? I read Anne Frank not too long ago and It's definetly appropriate for most ages (I wouldn't say children, but teens are A-OK), what were the arguments? 1984 is sort of understandable, but It's also not that heavy (Anne Frank is heavier because, you know, Holocaust and all that) and Its sexual themes aren't pornographic at all, but rather part of Its political message around puritanism. Hot take: 1984 is fine, not very good, just fine since both on Its political message and as a work of fiction aren't all that well developed, part of the political part is an incomplete rehash of anarchist criticism towards socialism, and the characters aren't very deep but the universe is really interesting and carefully thought out (the fictional Trotsky part is really good, It's actually one of my favorites in the whole book).

Dude. Are you nuts? The problem isn't guns. Wow, isn't that crazy! The problem is who uses it. We shouldn't ban guns because that WON'T solve anything. We banned alcohol for a short period of time and you know what happened? Riots. So if we outright banned guns conservatives would riot. Another thing is that it doesn't stop bad people from getting guns. They'll still find a way. Shootings would still happen. The only difference is we wouldn't be able to defend ourselves. If someone breaks into our home, we're screwed. There's no point in banning guns because it'd just make things worse. Sure a lot of those things would be less common, but that doesn't mean people would resort to peace. What we need to do is make it harder to get guns. Yeah sick people can still find a way to get it like if we were to outright ban guns, but good people can get them too. Wanna go hunting? Go for it! Someone breaks into your house? Protect yourself, your property, and your family! And another thing, there's just no point in pride flags being in schools. It's just a cheap way of making gay kids feel included. But at the same time we have a lot of christians and muslims who believe it's a sin, and chances are we have more christians then gay kids. Not to mention pride flags are just stupid. There's no point in them. We've grown so much as a nation where gay people are accepted as normal, pride flags are now just a sign of a crazy person, a narcissist, or a very annoying person. Pride month is completely ignored now, the only people that celebrate it are either insane, annoying, or narcissistic. There's no point. Funny enough, if we had straight flags everywhere you would understand why we're annoyed. It's just narcissists forcing their beliefs down your throat. Why can't we just grow brains and realize when something's stupid? Kids don't need to be showered with gay shit. They don't care. I don't get giddy when someone notices I'm colorblind and puts up a colorblind flag to make me feel included 💀 If anything it'd make me feel uncomfortable. Why?

@@hoffmanmotors I agree but just walk around any major city and you'll see like fifteen pride flags lol It's a little obsessive. If I were gay I wouldn't wanna be treated like I'm special, to the point where straight people think I need validation from a flag lol I don't even remember what I wrote bc YT's hiding my comment, so I don't even know if I'm off topic lol But yea, I just think it's stupid how we still celebrate things like pride month and we shower gay people with parades when they're already accepted as normal. Literally only annoying people, narcissists, and genuinely crazy people treat their pride flags like a god and their pride parades like a religious ritual 💀

@@kyle57688 Not really. I learned about what sex was from sex ed, but that doesn’t I then became a sex expert. Regardless of weather your kids know something, or are even engaging in it no matter what it is, you sitting down with them and talking to them, as a TRUSTED adult, is so much different from them simply learning about it from the internet or school. I study environmental science, and am constantly learning new things about it. Anything truly, but especially things that are vital to a kids life, such as social interactions which include gender, sexual orientation, and race or ethnicity, or drug and alcohol substances and sexual activity are all complex topics that a kid can and will learn about during there middle school and teenage years. Them knowing about it however doesn’t mean they’re well versed or even truly understand the topic. As a parent, one of your many jobs is to provide them with as much basic knowledge including any experiences you’ve had you think will help them. You’re passing your knowledge onto your children! And if you don’t understand a topic, research it, or have them research it. (Hopefully you trust your kid enough to do that.) I love gaining in new information about everything, art, self-care, interior design, science, socializing, you name it. And while I’m constantly learning new things, it doesn’t mean I know the topic completely.

[@kyle57688]

@@HinataElyonToph That might be true but it should still shouldn't be a talking point in schools. It's a double standard. It wouldn't be okay to talk to kids about being straight in schools. That's weird same way it is weird to talk to kids about other sexual orientations. They way I view it your sexual orientation is a small part of you and doesn't need to be broadcast to others. Especially when those others aren't of age. There are plenty of places for people to learn this information now days. Maybe its just bc I'm an adult now so I notice things more but it seems everything has gone way too far in the past couple years. People are making up new words to identify themselves. We need to help people regain control over their mental health not feed into their delusions by making up neo pronouns etc. to make them feel comfortable in their compromised mental position. A kid in my in college English who wanted to be know as "vampself" what is that? In my mind buying into that is like telling a schizophrenic their delusions are real. It's actively harming and doing a disservice to that person. They actually got mad at the professor for not addressing them as such. I don't mind using they them to make people feel comfortable, but we have to draw the line somewhere or everyone is going to have mental problems going forward. It's gonna be to complicated for kids to understand. If they think they can be hundreds of different things. Being a kid is confusing with all the hormones going on in your body. You often feel or I often felt like I didn't know where I fit in. Now instead of taking that journey to to learn about yourself and who you are. Kids are going online and creating a persona for themselves because they don't feel comfortable in their own skin, and don't take the time to get to know themselves. People throw themselves into the internet as an escape and come across people with feelings similar to themselves and band together in creating some "identifier for what they feel." I feel like the LGBT has gone so far past not conforming to the normal heterosexual person that it's lost it's identity. Maybe you'd consider me hateful for holding this opinion. I really am not I have no issues with any adult based on what they choose to do or how they choose to act. But I can't help but think some of this exploded while everyone was in lockdown and isolation when people were struggling mentally and couldn't get help. I know I got way off script here, but I hope it sort of makes sense why I don't want it in schools. It's such a complex and diverse issue that people view in so many way. It's come so far so fast in just a few years, and people who aren't in the in group hardly understand what it means anymore. I used to understand it perfectly. There's so many identifiers now days that it gets lost on me so easily and I'm 21. I hope this sheds some light on where my head is at in all this. Everyone should be treated with respect, but not everyone should be taught these things in school. Hope u have a lovely day/nigh though!
