Society is going all to hell. - by van HellSing

I was on the bus yesterday, and a woman got in, a mom with a toddler in a carriage. She sat right next to me, with the carriage in front of us. I smiled at the kid, and then it pulled out a toy from under the blanket.
A gun.
And not even some abstract, colourful ray-gun - a 1:1 scale, black, scary, realistic revolver. The woman could probably terrorize the bus with it if she so wanted. The thing was bigger than the toddler's arm.
When I remarked that it's probably not a suitable toy for a kid that age, the woman looked at me as if I was some sociopath freak and changed her seat.

Society went to hell a long time ago. Good to see you finally noticed though, that's encouraging.

Society is no worse now than it ever has been. In fact, it is in all likelihood better than its been in a long time (or ever).
This is nothing more than the same bitching that every person of every generation has said about everything. What are you going to say next, that the world will end in your lifetime? I mean, everyone who's ever said that has been wrong but you might be the one!
Get the fuck over yourself.

The real solution of course, is that you get a gun too. A real one, preferably. Everyone should get a real gun. And carry it around all the time. Including kids and toddlers. That would fix the problem immediately. If the kid threatens you, you just shoot it, in the face. If everybody acts like that, and everybody knows that the others will act like that, it is the end of all violence. Nobody likes to be shot in the face, so everyone will be careful.
Guns will make you safe. Buy one for your toddler now !

I just pictured that. And I lol'd. Thanks for making my day a bit better.

This just in:
Everybody in world history took care of their children in ways that met van HellSing's approval--until September 26, 2008.

Just out of curiosity, does anyone think this is special? Do you think its different than little kids playing with swords and sticks?
The only difference is that that child will in all likelihood never shoot another human being, a far cry from the times when play was training for real violence that was much more common at every time in history than now.

I think this is rather big. Maybe 10 years ago this kinda thing might have not been a big deal, but the problem is society is moving on and some people arn't. Fortunatly, they will be the ones first removed from the gene pool (hopefully not taking anyone else with them).
If I were you VH, I would have marched to the front of the bus and told the bus driver that the lady had a gun on board. That's just me, I like to try to manipulate society for my own personal gain:sly:

maybe toy guns are big news in whatever backwards pussy communist euroshithole you're from, but here in god's land (america) we don't cower and wet ourselves over the mere sight of a cap blaster. We smile, pat the mother on the back for standing up to liberal tyrrany and light our cigars off burning korans, usa #1
