My apologies if this has been posted---not sure how old this one is.

Your images don't seem to be working.
Is the security setting on 'public'?

[hurleyman.livejournal.com]

I just changed what I believe should make it work...I wasn't aware there was a security setting for the post AND the picture! geez!

Let me know if it's still not view-able

thanks!

[unnamed525.livejournal.com]

Still not viewable.

[hurleyman.livejournal.com]

Grr, apparently I am now too old to function on a social media site...

It's an image with the text:

“If selling a gay couple a wedding cake means a “christian” baker participated In their marriage, does selling a gun to a murderer mean a “christian” gun store owner participated in the murder?”

Bad logic being fought with bad logic…

I suspect it's more of an LJ design problem. Malasadas had trouble too and he's a pretty good brainiac.

[hurleyman.livejournal.com]

yeah not making a whole lot of sense to me...I uploaded it the exact same way as the last post I did...I will always err on the side of it being my doing!

[hardblue.livejournal.com]

It didn't show up the last time either.

[hurleyman.livejournal.com]

well, damn!

[yes-justice.livejournal.com]

Nice zing though.

[enders-shadow.livejournal.com]

If your joke includes an image, the image is missing.

If it's the text in the OP......IDGI.

[hurleyman.livejournal.com]

3rd time's the charm (hopefully)...

The image you're sharing is marked as private - nobody but you (or possibly you and your Friends) can see it.

[moonshaz.livejournal.com]

I didn't even know an image could be marked as private, and I still have no idea how one would do that.

I learn something new every day around here, lol!

[theweaselking.livejournal.com]

It's specifically an lj-gallery setting. I don't know how to change it, though, because I don't use livejournal to host images.

[hurleyman.livejournal.com]

I just uploaded via PB, if that doesn't work then goodnight, I'm going home! Privacy settings are becoming more of a headache than benefit since between here and facebook, I rarely know who sees what, when...them and damn pesky algorithms.

[theweaselking.livejournal.com]

Looks good now!

To answer the question, if the gun salesman knows the gun will be used in a murder, I'm pretty sure they're an accessory.

[hurleyman.livejournal.com]

Guns have a purpose other than killing and/or maiming? Interesting.

[badlydrawnjeff.livejournal.com]

Of course. Also, not all killings are murders.

[dexeron.livejournal.com]

To be fair, guns can be used for legal killing, such as hunting, or self defense, as well as for participation in the various shooting sports.

But the point of your original image still stands: it's not that christian gun sellers are wrong for selling guns, it's that christian cake bakers are wrong for refusing to sell to gay people. And Christians can't have it both ways.

[drblasphlemy.livejournal.com]

Yes shooting sport is an Olympic event. I shoot often for recreation as well as hunting.

[yes-justice.livejournal.com]

if the gun salesman knows the gun will be used in a murder, I'm pretty sure they're an accessory.

Let's say I own a factory which produces weapons and I know that a percentage of my weapons will be used to murder and the rest will be just used to kill. I know it will happen, and yet I make the guns and sell them and make a profit.

Oh, what a good boy am I.....

[badlydrawnjeff.livejournal.com]

No, because you're not building them to be used for that purpose.

[yes-justice.livejournal.com]

How do you know what my inner motivations are?

[badlydrawnjeff.livejournal.com]

I don't, and I would not reasonably be expected to. In the event that your motivations are clear, however, I would have some culpability. That's the point.

[yes-justice.livejournal.com]

How would my motivations become clear?
