They should have never put doors on that hospital, they were just asking for it.

I wonder why this is so prevalent in the US? Is it access to firearms, being a divided nation or both? A cultural thing?

I have several US friends, wonderful people. But I'm also aware they're wired differently than most Canadians.

I think it starts in the educational system or lack thereof.

It starts with a constitution that was born from a revolution. That and they are completely fucked as a nation.

It's a lot of things. Access to firearms, growing income/class inequality, an ever dividing nation, stupid ass health care system with no mental health support, gutting/politicizing/neglect of school systems, and like Marwood said their outdated constitution written over 200 years ago that people take so literally and pridefully and unwaveringly it's painful. You don't think the world has evolved since those white ass old men who owned people and shot muskets wrote some things down?

Have you not been following the Conservative leadership race? Or the people with nooses waiting for Trudeau at a fundraiser? Canada is not far behind the states.

Just read that 13 mass shootings occurred during the Memorial Day long weekend in the U.S. according to the Gun Violence Archive. The organization classifies a "mass shooting" as an incident in which at least four victims are injured, killed or shot.

Thirteen? Crazy.

Until the root of the problem is solved no amount of 'banning' guns or removal will make a difference. If anything...it's going to get worse. Look at the mental health issues arising around these kids with horrible parenting and indoctrinations by schools/social media now. We are not headed for a good time. If you look at the History of the Texas shooter and the gender dysphoria/Trans/Suicidal issues it was all there to be prevented. Suicides among Trans/Gender dysphoria patients are in the 60%'s now. But socially these poor kids are being pushed too far in one direction and not allowed to be kids anymore. Solve those issues first. Sure trimming down AR-15's and handguns will help...but will not come anywhere close to solving future issues.

You've hit quite a few good points here but try explaining it properly to fucking idiots like Marwood. Need a little bit of protection from being locked in camps for a virus with 99.9% survival rate and what's coming. lol

I'm going to start a 3 day water fast as a cleanse after the Mexico trip.

Has anyone here tried this before?

There are a lot of issues at play. Access to guns is a big part of it, but not the only part to it. It's going to require a whole bunch of the Swiss cheese theory: a lot of laws and aid and progress that have holes in them, but over time each part overlaps eachothers' holes and sorts of fills it in.

But banning assault rifles and high capacity guns is a good start.

I try and do it regularly but rarely successful. This time I’m doing it because I think I have gluten intolerance. I think my psoriasis gets worse when I eat certain foods. One of my site-supers has psoriasis and he found out he was gluten intolerant, stopped eating breads and some dairy, and his condition improved greatly.

I’ll try anything before going the pharmaceutical route.

You have all the tell-tale signs of a defeated little man. All you have left is the race card, insults and profiling folks that don't succumb to your sad little narrative. It truly must be a struggle to wake up every morning in that small headspace of yours so angry at the world every single day. I truly wish the best for you man and forgive you for all your insults and mis-labelling...but it's really all you have in your life. Whenever you are put in your place plus others you just resort to the same old crap. It's just sad man is all. Hopefully one day you will wake up but I fear you are long past that stage. Best to you anyways dude. Hoping for you.

I did a 2-day water diet before I had to start drinking fluid before the colonoscopy. Honestly felt great after all the garbage was out of my system. I might do it all again just because. Haven't felt that good in awhile. It's amazing the crap that is in food out there and I mean food of all kinds.

Overall I'm healthy and in good shape, I'll treat this as a cleanse.

Water and black coffee only, the joy.

Yeah, the most I did it for was a day and that wasn't the end of the world, felt great as well after. 3 days will go quick I hope.

Tonight I get a big greasy Pizza or Chinese from the Diarrhea Dragon for my good intentions.

So the 72 hour cleanse is over. No food, water and black coffee only. Worst part was the first 12 hours and the last. Wasn't overweight when I started but lost 10 pounds during the process. Will do it again, but I'm happy it's over.

So now I can eat, but I'm not hungry

Out of curiosity, why did you do a cleanse? From my reading, most cleanses/detoxes are poopty gimmicks that don't really do much. Fasting (or intermittent fasting), though, has had some marked impacts on peoples health.
