WalMart Shooting

Coming from the guy telling me what I was thinking and what I was doing, that's pretty funny.

Haha! Love this place!

Go ahead and use the word "retarded". It does have its uses. You could probably say "mentally challenged" or whatever the hell is appropriate this year but it means the same gawdamn thing. So sick of this PC language bullcrap. It's retarded. Actually no it's worse, it's stupid.

But now I've offended all the stupid people on this board. Damn.

I mean we're back to calling people "colored" (people of color) so I say bring it on. Retarded should be back to being just fine soon enough.

People would rather niitpick so they can be outraged, avoiding the actual conversation. It's an easy win.

What was this thread about?

Oh ya a shooting. I don't like lumping things into one big thread. I tend to skip those, plus it just creates 10 different conversations going on at once.

Go on then, drop the 'N'-word. You know you want to, you anti-PC crusader you.

Nobody complained about the use of the word "retarded" (at least I didn't), I suppose we could call people who think so...retarded? What was complained about was the blatant hypocrisy shown by plague in taking the moral high ground over Matthew showing disinterest in this particular group of 250 people who died.

Well, I suppose we've found an effective way to shut down any thread about gun violence henceforth. Simply reply to the OP with "ho-hum, same boring thing" and/or pontificate about why the OP doesn't start a thread every time someone drowns too.

Like the hypocrisy of showing up to a thread you have no interest in just to post and tell everyone how you don't have any interest in it?

Please, go on.
 
Get used to it America. You have neither the will or ability to do anything about it. Mass killings are simply the new American way.

114 killed & 274 injured by gun violence in the US over the weekend.

Six mass shootings: Chicago, Washington DC, Gilroy, Philadelphia, Wichita, Brooklyn.

Can't quite see what's particularly interesting about this one.

What's with no links? Do you not want anyone to see who's pushing this information?

Remember when there was the phrase "going postal" after a disgruntled postal worker went back and shot up his old office?

Is there a profession that this can't be said about these days?

No, but psychological studies of people who go postal show a frequent pattern: anger, blaming everyone else for their failures, low self esteem. It's not the occupation, it's the individual.

"The Tree of Liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of elementary schoolchildren and low-income weekend shoppers", or something like that.

Sadly I don’t think I will live long enough to see the US restrict gun ownership like most of the civilised world.

A friend of mine posts daily updates on Facebook about the number of gun deaths in the US, and that's where I got this weekend's figure from. I would have to look back several months to find her source if it's really important to you.
