You're probably not going to have a lot of crap going on in a place like that.

It would basically be a CFMB hangout. Lots of cock.

Wow, what an ignorant comparison. How insulting to African-Americans.

Try to have some bit of respect in your conversations. The same respect a man of color might want in respect to not being equated with being a gang member selling drugs by virtue of being black because a small fraction of his community might be in gangs.

Ok kirkwood... i understand what you're saying.
I think the thread is just evolving though... And it's an interesting sidebar.

Many that is true, but an incomplete statement.

Yeah. Like profits for one.

MANY of those bars do really well. No fights or gunshots. My kinda place.

I didn’t know that was a thing. There are 30+ only bars out there?

Yeah but they only enforce it for people who are probably trouble.

This is going to reach a head pretty soon.

I also like:

private business refuses gay customers = Public accommodation! You cannot refuse service based on orientation because you are a public accommodation!

private business refuses age of majority customers = Private business! They are a private business. Private. Business.

Maybe an exception on females.

Is it fair to say this is simply about PR and profit and Dick’s almost certainly doesn’t give a shit about actually saving lives? If not, please explain why they continued to sell this stuff at their affiliated stores after Sandy Hook.

Wow, what an ignorant comparison. How insulting to African-Americans.

Visiting Martin Luther King Jr. during the Montgomery, Alabama, bus boycott, journalist William Worthy almost sat on a loaded pistol. "Just for self-defense," King assured him. It was not the only weapon King kept for such a purpose; one of his advisors remembered the reverend’s Montgomery, Alabama, home as "an arsenal." Like King, many ostensibly "nonviolent" civil rights activists embraced their constitutional right to self-protection—yet this crucial dimension of the Afro-American freedom struggle has been long ignored by history. In This Nonviolent Stuff’ll Get You Killed, Charles E. Cobb Jr. recovers this history, describing the vital role that armed self-defense has played in the survival and liberation of black communities. Drawing on his experiences in the civil rights movement and giving voice to its participants, Cobb lays bare the paradoxical relationship between the nonviolent civil rights struggle and the long history and importance of African Americans taking up arms to defend themselves against white supremacist violence.

Have a terrible night and die in MANY fires.

Those joints bring their fare share of bullshit too.

The victims are the American People and the Republic itself.

Liquor consumption brings bullshit. No matter what the establishment is.

This is going to reach a head pretty soon.

It is. Younger folks are more likely to do dumb shit when drinking. Younger folks are more likely NOT to know when to stop drinking.

I believe you have wagered against me when drinking. It’s not just the kids that do dumb shit after having a few drinks

There is not a damned thing wrong with people who are bull shitters.

Walmart to Raise Age to Buy Guns and Ammunition to 21

Dick's philosophy shift here aligns with what 85% Americans agree with on gun control(21 years, no high capacity magazines assault riffles). It's SMART BUSINESS to shift into a paradigm for which MOST of america agrees with. Not the bat-shit crazy 15%. Stop taking shots at the free market.

I’m not taking shots. On the contrary, I applaud their business acumen. A large corporation that is going to continue to profit of gun and ammo sales just successfully duped you, Ugie, and IMU into publicly lauding their civic responsibility. Dick Cheney is probably smiling somewhere at their effort.

Yeah but they only enforce it for people who are probably trouble.
