For crying out loud, not this old argument again. Guns don't kill children, bullets kill children.

Are you saying men can't wear pink gear?

Capote’s version of the story was not straight forward reporting. There was some dramatic license taken.
-
You are correct. In order for those people to feel threatened it would take a state of revolution. Or, "SHTF" times 10.

The shooting of innocents will never be enough. Change will only come when the powerful become fearful that they and their own children are at risk.

Biden’s war on fossil fuel and gas price timeline
gowlerk replied to brenthutch's topic in Speakers Corner
That is hyperbole. The economy is adapting and will be fine. The reason prices are so high is the fallout of the war and the Covid recovery. It has absolutely nothing to do with Keystone or Biden. -
I think it means we are not supposed to say a bunch of rude things about the Billy because he has ex-friends here who may be upset. I don't think that was ever going to happen, but Wendy seems to think it might. The fact that Billy has always more or less been someone who couldn't control himself well enough to avoid several bans from here over the years and liked to denigrate public figures who he disagreed with is something that we should avoid dwelling on.

Do you think those brave children suffered much as they died? At least the two children our friend murdered got to live to be teens. They probably were shot while sleeping, at least we can hope that was the case. What a fucked up world and what a fucked up law the 2nd amendment to the US constitution is. Maybe we can all take consolation in the fact that several areas of the world are far worse for children right now. Seems like a fairly hollow feeling though.

Of course it will. They will have no where to hide. The crossfire could be a bitch, but what the hell, you can't make an omelette without breaking some eggs.

There were two men in that crime. It's been a long time since I read that book. Plus they were tied up, plus they were shot as well as some of them having their throats slit.

Name one that kills three people in their beds that a man can just impulsively do without a firearm.
-
I would say that the fact that people knew him does not mean that he deserves anything at all from us. But I also believe that WE deserve better than having him turn into a go-to argument.
-
No, that is not what I believe about psychiatry. What I am saying is that none of us have any reason to think that Billy had a psychiatric illness that would account for his actions. That does not mean he did not. Almost certainly he did not have a condition that would allow for a legal insanity defense.
-
I blame him 100% for the deaths of his family. And if you read the news story it makes it clear that he did as well and that he decided to end his life rather than face the consequences. There is nothing we know of that indicates any mental illness. Men kill for many reasons and domestic violence is common and often hidden. We will never know what was happening within that family. The witnesses were all murdered.
-
On the other hand Ts and Ps are the traditional and completely useless response which also benefits no one. We don't actually know and probably can never know the motivation for these crimes so we speak of "mental illness". What does that even mean?
-
The concept did not originate on the right, but it has been very effectively hijacked by culture warriors. It has an interesting history going back to at least the 1930s. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woke

I have no words.

God made young girls attractive to preachers for a reason. It’s not always their fault that they make mistakes sometimes. The church must be protected, ask any bishop.
-
That is mere opinion. There is no reason to believe that other than your feelings.
-
Usually these twisted young men do this sort of thing because someone else did and they thought they could start a race war if only enough others did as well. Inspire and be inspired.
-
Perfect man for the job then!

I agree that that feeling is out there. But the reality is that even as a minority they will be, I should say we will be a privileged minority for a very long time
-
That is what Ron calls SHTF. I’m not a believer.

It doesn't work all that well on mobile with small screens. -
The last group that had a legitimate complaint about being invaded by aliens was the native population. No other group has ever lost anything to immigration in North America.
