assault weapons have no place in the hands of anyone - so how is law enforcement gonna deal with shooters, terrorists and other dangerous individuals?
They gonna tickle them to death, right?
N*gga, please ...
i have been sad to see so many groups and individuals say that the cause of these events are the mental status of the shooters.
i have looked over the backgrounds of these shooters, and few had medically identified mental health issues.
it is too easy to think that people shoot or kill other people because they are mentally ill.. actually, many or most people with real mental illnesses are most likely to be the victims of others.. i have been a volunteer with the organization called nami (national alliance of mental lillness) for 25 years now.

i was in full time service for six years including bethel.
once i got out of bethel, i figured i had already given them six of the best years of my life (ages 18-24) working as a slave/drone in their factory, so i rationalized that i had given them enough... so over the next 27 years i would say maybe $200 bucks is it.
i think their whole "voluntary contributions" idea is biting them in the ass, because over all jehovah's witnesses are a cheap group people with a few exceptions.
Money! How much did you "Contribute" To The WTB@TS When You Were A Member - NOTHING!!!
Not a f**king thing.
And I'm very proud of that.

A certain segment of people don't seem able to cope with any form of hardship (lack of constant praise) without lashing out and hurting others. They have never been taught any accountability - everything in their life has been declared not their fault or out of their control. Anti-social behavior is "treated" with drugs instead of consequence and some work ethic to teach them any sense of purpose and achievement. - yep, this is the naked, unvarnished truth. But the truth sometimes hurts, so expect a few down-votes.
the truly mentally ill are rarely dangerous - yes, I think I agree. My mum was a manic depressive. She had to take Lithium tablets to be 'stable', as it were. Once or twice she refused to take them. She never was violent, or a danger to herself or others.
'So-and-so wouldn't harm a fly' - that phrase was made for my mum.
Weird how the Democrats are perfectly fine in making slurs against the mentally-ill in order to avoid an honest, open discussion about mass shootings and terrorism.
evolution is how we got here.. demonstrate that you believe that all species evolved from a single cell over/within 3.5 billion years by tapping "like" below.. demonstrate that you believe in special creation by tapping "unlike" below..
it may be that evolution needs to be modified in unexpected ways - good point, but note that scientists argue over how evolution happened. Not whether it happened.
staff in a takeaway were offended by two lesbians' full-on kissing and expressed their opinion about the behaviour.
the lesbians complained to police that a "hate crime" was committed.. homosexual or heterosexual - do it in private, it's not a spectator sport or a public statement.. minority groups can invoke police action if they are "offended," but society in general cannot do likewise.. why has "being offended" been turned into a hate crime in the uk?
who is pushing this agenda?.
what would happen if I as a straight white (ish), male, rang the rozzers and reported (insert a minority group), for being racist or sexist - you would probably get charged for wasting police time. They might take a closer look at your finances, your social media comments, etc., anything to try and get something on you.
Here's another question: what would happen if a member of one minority group goes to the police with allegations of racism or sexism against a member of another minority group?

Anybody can invoke police action. It's up to the police to determine if action is warranted - but minorities and all hate crime incidents are a special case. If someone alleges racism, homophobia or sexism then police MUST follow it up.
That's kinda what this OP is touching upon: super-special members of minorities are treated super-special.
^^^ sounds like the ranting of a stroppy teenager ...

I think it may be good at this point to make a brief mention of the attitudes and actions of believers in divine creation and those who accept evolution: centuries ago before Darwin, most people believed in divine creation. If anyone dared to speak against this, there would be a good chance that they'd be killed for blasphemy.
In the West today, most people accept evolution, with a minority still believing in divine creation. But the evolutionists haven't burnt anyone at the stake.
Global warming/climate change isn't a big issue for me.
I agree that human activity harms the environment and therefore we should be cleaner and greener.
My issues that I have is similar to what Cofty is exploring on his thread. Environmentalists behave as if they were in a cult. They are intellectually dishonest when it comes to discussing data. They also have a strong anti-capitalist, anti-West bent. How many times do we hear climate change activists lambast India or China for all their polluting factories? Answer: never.
I don't trust scientists, either, because their research is funded by the same governments who want to put more taxes onto us.
We need an open, honest discussion.
i believe the environmental movement has many of the hallmarks of an apocalyptic millenarian cult.. urgent predictions of doom and fear-mongering.
utopian ideology.
us v them, good v evil mindset.
why are you taking issue with a young lady wanting to make a statement about something she believes in - because what she says must be questioned and critically analysed. But anyone who does that is immediately labelled a hater because Thunberg is on the autism spectrum. This is wrong.
We must be allowed to question and discuss such statements. This will be a first step in helping us deal with the problem, if there is one.
I've not heard anyone suggesting looking to Greta Thunberg for life direction - well, I have. On FaceBook, I follow a page called JOE. They post Greta Thunberg stuff. She gets lots of below the line comments about how she is an example for everyone. Her views are sometimes challenged, but when this happens people get called 'haters', 'gammons', etc.
Sorry, just because Thunberg is autistic, that doesn't mean she gets to pontificate on serious issues unchallenged.
