I think you misread the statement you're quoting. Can you elaborate on what your take on it was?

My take was "China is banning acts that undermine a general Chinese Ethnic unity or create Ethnic Division (saying one group is different than another, you know, like a cultural pride or language teaching services in their native dialect would be examples)"

I think you're being downvoted because, although facetious in comparison because of it's clearly inflammatory and directed-hate kind of nature, the Bible and Mein Kampf both pose terrible ideas and concepts for any young mind. The murder/rape/incest/genocide/slavery-justifying stuff is all over the place, sprinkled in with stuff about how to be a good person.

Maybe if it wasn't currently the main religious text now hopelessly tied to the political right of the nation (and not even getting into the uniquely extreme version of protestantism the US has compared to the rest of the world) and actively being used as justification for shitty beliefs/actions/legislation, I could see your point about having it as a text to study, but also probably only in the final years of high school if not just for college, and with religious studies professors/experts and not Mr. Bortner the P.E./history teacher that also coaches the football team.

To be fair that was like 10 years ago and not long after the Disney channel fame was transitioning to 'socially acceptable adult attention' fame. Weird time for any child star

I can't say for sure, I only shoot skeet and wood targets on dirt/ground-backed hills.

But https://www.atomicdefense.com/blogs/news/can-bullets-go-through-brick seems to say: "Heavier rounds such as a 7.62x39mm or .308 rifle may penetrate the walls of a brick-veneered house, but it is not likely"

I could imagine a higher caliber hunting round going through a brick wall when pointed at it, but it should be rare to have a high caliber rifle loaded with high caliber rounds off-safety and able to be misfired by a child/dog/freak accident.

And in the UK, that's just pretty much too impossibly rare to be occurring. The likelihood is higher here, but god I wish it wasn't

Have you ever shot at brick or stone? Yeah, the right caliber will go right through, but it's not flying through with near the same velocity as through drywall, paint, and dreams , the stuff my walls are made of right now.

Surely there were better semi-action RPGs..but the vibes and the depth of some systems on those games were great

I think it's more like our bodies are blank canvases. They need some color and embellishing to really accent what's already there

Why do you say that? I had this exact conversation today at work

I just went digging to find quotes from that episode for my husband. Thank you for this lol

Live in the north where southerners flee to for jobs (still a shitty Red state) and the range is a regular for gun people. When I had friends that shoot, it was an every or every other weekend thing for the cheap shit, once month take out something nice to shoot that costs a little.

And some steel workers wild tanks, some auto workers are contracted for government vehicles, email providers facilitate global pedophile rings.

It's weird to make the claim in general because... yeah, every job might have people doing evil things in some section of the industry. Tearing down unions only supports the rich and the evil
