    Yes. A critical look at the main common denominator in school shootings going back over thirty years has no place in the discussion.

    I'm just asking questions about her skirt length!

  2. Jean Paul Sartre on anti-Semites - apt today for the political right in America

    Quote

    “Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.”

    A "high school student" with a verified Twitter account......Yeah that just happens without a little head scratching 

    What, in your mind, is a verified Twitter account?

    And what is Hogg if not a high school student? Why is that in quotation marks?

    Well they aren’t protesting themselves. Students shoot up schools. They don’t go to random public places. The school shooters aren’t random mad men. 

     

    The students need to look in the mirror and ask themselves why they breed shooters and they and not the teachers are the primary targets. But that’s a shitty hashtag to make. 

    Take away all guns and it would be a matter of time before a bomb or fire takes its place. 

    Missed this literal victim blaming post. Jesus Christ you fucking people are depraved and should be sent to the fucking gulags.

  5. This thread is only missing DSA and we would be putting the Pizzagate band back together! Hello bicycle man!

    Literal reptilian conspiracy material in this thread, holy lol shit

    All that shows is that you don't actually listen to the people you are arguing with.

    More that people don't walk around with "pro-life" and "pro-choice" stamped onto their foreheads. The people I talk with talk about policy and ideas, not which label they prefer.

    Also, do you still believe the pro-life outnumber gun control advocates?

    The link you provided showed 46% pro-life which was the exact same term I used.  You sure like to create strawmen.

    Pro-life is in the minority. Pro-gun-control is in the majority. But "Pro-Life outnumbers gun control advocates in this country."?

    How?

    Honestly, though, I did not realize that people simultaneously supported legal abortion AND called themselves "pro-life". That's kind of hilarious, actually. What a meaningless bullshit term. You could have two people with the exact same idea about abortion policy and one could be "pro-choice" and the other "pro-life".

  8. Omar Mateen being gay would be news to his wife, probably.

    Yes, school shooters feel alienated. And no, you're dead fucking wrong about being made outcasts. Eric Harris was popular. The morning of the shooting, girls were shouting at him through an open car window to invite him to a party. The problem was in his head, just like basically every single other one of these monsters. Couple mental unwellness with firearms and, hey, this is what happens.

    We can either fix the human condition or make the human condition safer to inhabit.

    Sorry, MAGA CHUDs and other various deplorable, hate-filled scum; you're not an angry piece of shit because that girl rejected you, that girl rejected you because you are an angry piece of shit. Fix yourself.

    Yes, bad people are going to do bad things. When bad people are identified existing law should be followed to ensure they can't purchase guns. The last 2 mass shootings were text book failures of the government failing to report bad people through the proper channels. So yes, please tell me, what new laws should we pass, when the current ones aren't even fucking enforced.

    Which laws would, if properly enforced, have stopped the Parkland shooting? Dylan Roof? Please be a s specific as you can because, once again, it seems like you're just spouting vague talking points.

    Dude, your school was different from mine.  If it means a sanctioned excuse to skip class I can't imagine the cause that couldn't get 20%.  I bet I could get 20% for the right to fuck donkeys.

    I think kids are more likely to walk out for that than to protest against abortion. Not really an issue that moves teenagers.

    Julian Assange has been dead since 10/16/16. He no longer uses his personal keys and his deadman switch was flipped. He hasnt been seen waving from his window since then, and the one interview they did with him since then was very weird. It also had a few "morphs" that were spotted, which seems like they were using a computerized version of him as it is imperfect and mid sentence his collar disappears and changes.

    Assange and Wikileaks has been part of the politics show ever sense.

    Please tell me about the morphs.

    If you made decisions for a school system and had been stupid enough to tolerate the walkout to protest gun violence, how would you respond to this?

    Do you only support  left-wing walkouts?  Do you come up with some silly rationale about why the school violence walkout deserved special treatment?  Do you tolerate any kind of walkout?  How do you undo your stupid precedent?

    Jesus, you're mad.

    I think the tipping point has to do with number of students participating. At a certain point, a popular movement is unstoppable and the smart course of action is to take responsible action to minimize the negative effects. If 75% of your students are going to walk out for CauseX then it's smart to make sure that it all flows safely and with as little disruption as possible; probably even smart to work ahead of time with the organizers.

    But if it's 1% of the kids? Then going the hard-ass route makes more sense from a simple numbers standpoint.

    Or maybe it's a nationwide liberal conspiracy. 9_9

  12. The argument that bullying causes school shooters is absurd on its face. If it was bullying that caused school shooters you'd see transgender shooters, obese female shooters, and a hell of a lot of shooters of color. But what you see is, almost every time, white boys. The LEAST marginalized group in the nation represents the vast majority of the mass shooters. Yes, the white boys felt marginalized, but why is it essentially only them that do this? What the fuck is it with white maleness that decides that the world needs to die when his white maleness is not validated?

    Besides that, avoiding a violent and threatening person is not bullying. Men are not owed the attention of women. I know the cool thing is to rage at the seemingly-gay kid and the shaved-head minority girl, but how the hell is avoiding and shunning someone tantamount to "bullying"? If some racist MAGA CHUD threatens you you're supposed to invite him to your birthday party? Fuck off.

    "Substantive"

    How about the section  you purposely omitted?

    This is a huge problem with a lot of you, you have no ideology. You have no spine. You have no values. Either that or you lack the ability to articulate any kind of vision for the world. #sad
