2	Passers-by help robber(female) by holding down victim(male) In no way is it hypothetical, we see cases of untrained people trying to use a gun to resolve a situation and making it worse. You just want to drop it because you know I'm right. Examples? Perhaps some statistics to indicate that there are more instances of people making it worse than there are instances of people successfully defending themselves? After you fail to find statistics to support what you claim, perhaps you can try and explain why violent crime tends to be less common in areas with…	/r/MensRights	03/10/12 07:40 PM
4	Passers-by help robber(female) by holding down victim(male) It's incredibly common for random owners to be better shots than the police.	/r/MensRights	03/10/12 07:37 PM
1	Passers-by help robber(female) by holding down victim(male) Wait so you say it's reasonable to be concerned about the possible repercussions of letting people concealed carry, but the people who want to concealed carry aren't being reasonable when they consider the possible repercussions of not carrying?	/r/MensRights	03/10/12 07:36 PM
4	Passers-by help robber(female) by holding down victim(male) If you carry a gun when you don't need it, you don't need to worry about someone being killed. Unless you think guns have a will of their own? Or maybe you don't trust yourself to not randomly start shooting people?	/r/MensRights	03/10/12 07:32 PM
92	Who Needs Feminism campaign - WTF? I would say instead of rape culture, the West has victim culture, wherein everyone is a victim, and being a victim is the best thing someone can be, and people often compete to see who is the biggest victim. Excellent statement, and it's completely true, unfortunately.	/r/MensRights	13/04/12 05:14 PM

0	The entire world is programmed against women...apparently [FIXED] So is going on about how it is a valid phrase, when it is not. It's valid enough to get the point across concisely in a comic. If you have to shorten it into a questionable catchy phrase to get your point across, you are not conveying your thoughts effectively. No one was confused about the meaning, so their thoughts were conveyed just fine.	/r/MensRights	29/02/12 07:35 PM
5	The entire world is programmed against women...apparently [FIXED] The difference is that calling an apple a "reverse apple" offers absolutely no additional information or clarification to the statement. Saying "reverse discrimination" adds the clarification that the discrimination being discussed is going in the opposite direction of what is perceived as the societal norm. If you were to say "True equality cannot be reached through more sexism." it leaves open the potential interpretation of the additional sexism just being more sexism piled onto what is alrea…	/r/MensRights	29/02/12 09:37 AM
22	White grandfather takes black granddaughter for a walk in the park. Nine cops draw tasers, handcuff him, and take granddaughter in a patrol car. This isn't the first time this has happened to them. C'mon, man, you're making this too easy... Actually you are with your intentionally obtuse (I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt here and presuming you're intentionally misrepresenting the facts rather than thinking you're just unable to properly read) presentation of the numbers. Remember, almost 3/4 of a FUCKING MILLION kids are kidnapped each year in America alone. No, what your link specifically states is, "797,500 children (younger than 18) were reported missing in a one-year period of t…	/r/MensRights	12/02/12 10:21 PM
