  my father died a couple of months ago.

  he'd been ill for some time and had many health scares and heart troubles over the years but always managed to keep on going.

  then one time he didn't.. i'm glad i got to know him again and spend some more time with him after so many years missed because of the wts but those years will always be lost forever.

  Thanks for bumping this thread, I missed it first time. Well done on helping your little brother avoid the cult.

  I won't be bothering to attend the next funeral

  SHe has made that decision easy.

  tommie robinson has reported often about what he sees as the demise of british society by the imposition of 'sharia' norms.. https://www.infowars.com/update-tommy-robinson-gets-13-months-for-livestreaming-outside-courthouse/?utm_source=nightly+newsletter&utm_campaign=9e3ceb30f6-email_campaign_2018_05_25_03_10&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_e12661a83c-9e3ceb30f6-38680565.

  yesterday he was jailed for 13 months for reporting outside a court in the uk.

  his was a non violent offence.. what no community service?

  Why did the rape gangs go on so long?

  Because 'leftie' social workers were too afraid of being accused of racism and too indoctrinated with multiculturalism to make a stand.

  why are so many youth flipping out and gunning down fellow students?

  is there something seriously wrong with society?

  does the public education/indoctrination system need some serious tweaking?

  there are also mitigating factors such as racism, economic inequality etc

  Have any of the mass shootings in American schools been motivated by a reaction to racism?

  Have any of them been carried out by kids who were from particularly poor families?

  Are you grasping at straws?

  So Fink are you saying that if Canadian youths had access to guns as freely as American youths the incidence of mass shootings would be the same?

  Is there nothing different about the USA apart from the quantity of guns?

  This idea that Muslims are/were the only ones that did this is absolutely stupid. Really stupid. - Humbled

  Except for the inconvenient fact that multiple pedophile gangs in multiple UK cities are 99% Muslim.

  No wonder the govt are terrified of the potential for riots.

  If there is a court order on reporting how come it is a lead article on The Independent website?

  Interesting points Pete Zahut and truth_b_known

  If the problem is a combination of factors then that those observations have to be a strong candidates.

  but more to the accessibility to guns - Fink

  Canada has no shortage of guns.

  Of course it's a truism that if these kids had no access to guns they wouldn't commit mass shootings but that hardly addresses the question.

  dare I say " cult " type thinking - Flipper

  That's EXACTLY what the Watchtower does - Neuela

  I really HATE it when people accuse those who disagree with them to be cult-like. It is the worst possible insult you could use on an ex-cult forum.

  Mass shootings are mostly, but admittedly not exclusively, an American phenomena. So what factor - or combination of factors is unique to the USA?

  It's not caused by violent entertainment - the world is awash with violent media.

  It's not caused by neglectful or over-indulgent parents - Europe has no shortage of those.

  It's definitely not about 'haves versus have-nots'. Inequality is universal and the perpetrators are frequently among the 'haves'.

  Could it be a part of a narcissistic obsession with fame (infamy will do) and celebrity?
