Certainly the fact that the USA has 5% of the population yet 45% of all the guns might skew the statistics from the norm. Perhaps.
Where do most of the mass bombings happen?
Mass stabbings?
Mass blunt force traumas?

Deaths are deaths, way more people being killed in car accidents caused by inattentive drivers than from firearms wielded by mentally unstable individuals. No one calling for highways to made illegal, cars to be made illegal or driving to be made illegal.

Stop trying to put the genie back in the bottle by making inanimate objects the brunt of your scorn.

Perhaps the 200,000 violent acts or 16,000 murders the average child sees on TV by age 18 has something to do with it?
Maybe we should make violence on TV illegal?

Perhaps the hero worship we dole out to rifle toting soldiers and Marines has an effect on the mental well being of young boys who want to be like the hero?
Not sure on mass bombings. Proly in Syria
Mass stabbing happen in China.
Mass blunt force, unsure.

Picking up a gun and walking into a movie theater with no other intention but to kill people is the issue.

But Death by premeditation and death by accident or stupidity is another thing altogether.

As for what children see on tv. I blame parents.
Maybe the way we treat those heroes when they come home has something to do with how those heroes look. when so many come home and kill themselves, beat their loved one, and other craziness from PTSD, we can look at the republicans and ask them "why did you block every bill that was put to you to help veterans?"

I have a touchy subject to this right now because technically I'm illegally here by anyone's standards if I'm here longer than 6 months and 6 months go fast and paperwork does not
since my paperwork is going through process
If my husband did not have the job he did we could not afford this my first set of paperwork costed 1700$ just to file the fucking request

right I specifically meant that you can't say Canadians aren't happy with their country though the majority of us are not but we stay because we have access to basic human needs like water that doesn't kill us unlike Mexico
I have a brother who is a Canadian citizen. He is the only sibling who is a citizen as my parents were there briefly in the 50s. His children have had health issues similar to another sibling; issues that destroyed the American sibling financially, then emotionally. Although my Canadian brother did not finish high school, In juxtaposition to my level of social stratification, I consider him a far better example of Western Civilization than I (Lot's of toys /vacations and such) .I only posted that comment to ask one question. What would possess you to give up Canadian citizenship?

Am I the only one who thinks you are vastly underestimating the need in the states for illegal immigrants, I mean I know it's not something people talk about often but has anyone actually thought about all the business' and stuff that benefit from the immigrants. I mean yeah criminals have to cross the border illegally because they actually cant go through legally and they should be stopped, but how many people do you think are really moving to the states to fuck shit up? A lot of them are just people who realize how bad the situation is in mexico and are trying to help provide a better life for their families who cant get visa's because they cant afford it or because they aren't relatively rich. I used to tutor migrant kids (not mexicans cos I wasn't in the states) and I can tell you people who are trying to work to keep their family from having to go back to a situation where things are actually dangerous work harder than any body you've ever seen I mean I've heard kids tell me there parents work 18 hour shifts 7 fucking days a week. They would be very willing to do things legally if they could I mean they'd have much better pay and living conditions but they cant, and can you really blame them for not taking no for an answer when people are being killed and shit all the time in mexico? I know if I had a family I'd be trying to get the fuck outta there asap. Maybe if the states relaxed their legal immigration a bit they would have an easier time sorting out those who were willing to do honest work from the criminals and they could turn what is now seen as a major issue into a benefit to their society. Either way painting them all with the same brush and just saying they all bring in crime and shit is some stupid bullshit imo sounds like you somehow couldn't be bothered to think that they are all individual people who make their own decisions with some being bad and some good just like everywhere else. Most "good" law abiding people would choose to leave a dangerous situation, and obviously they do.
Having worked in the trucking/ produce business, I would like to see what a head of lettuce would cost without immigrants. I have witnessed with my own eyes some very thought provoking things on the Mexican border. Things that don't go away when you close your eyes.IMG_2409.JPG

I'm getting dual citizenship so technically I'm not giving it up in just adding on
But I married an American who is in the military so I need to get American citizenship because we have to live here

How much you want to bet "Merry Christmas" is micro-aggressive?
Inspirational phrases such as “America is the land of opportunity,” “America is a melting pot” and “I believe the most qualified person should get the job” have all been deemed “macroaggressions” and are in the process of being eliminated from the campus vocabulary through a series of seminars, according to the College Fix.

That list is pretty interesting..where did it come from?

NO SHIT!

Thank you for admitting more guns = more death

Deaths are deaths, way more people being killed in car accidents caused by inattentive drivers than from firearms wielded by mentally unstable individuals. No one calling for highways to made illegal, cars to be made illegal or driving to be made illegal.
Highways/Freeways are necessary, guns are not

Imagine that!

Stop trying to put the genie back in the bottle by making inanimate objects the brunt of your scorn.
If "inanimate objects" were the problem, why wouldn't you see anyone blaming TV's or toasters for all the violent deaths in America? It would seem the "inanimate objects defense" is pretty fucking stupid if you ask me..

People kill people with guns BECAUSE IT'S EASY. You don't see people out there killing people with rugs or lamp shades

Perhaps the 200,000 violent acts or 16,000 murders the average child sees on TV by age 18 has something to do with it?
Maybe we should make violence on TV illegal?
If you think TV violence should be illegal, feel free to outline how you plan to divert the first amendment to do that, I'm all ears! TV, music, movies, comic books, rap, etc., don't cause violence. This is a well-established fact since Rock music came of age in the 1950s
Perhaps the hero worship we dole out to rifle toting soldiers and Marines has an effect on the mental well being of young boys who want to be like the hero?
100% agree

100% agree

If guns are not necessary, what do you fight bad guys with guns with, your sneakers, or your hat ? The only acceptable answer is an assurance that bad guys wont get guns.

People kill people with guns because you can do it from a distance and the guy you are after may be able to stop you if you don`t use a gun. So, the only acceptable answer to that is to stop people from wanting to kill.

Shooting people on TV NEWS with lots of National coverage is the newest form of copy-cat crime. Yesterday, all the locals covered this all day long, commercial breaks went from four every ten minutes to about twenty.

If you agree 100% about the hero worship thing, then you cancelled out your Rock n Roll fact, so.... ??

Remember when I posted an article from June/July 2015? This is from 2014. Soooo "Why are you trying to pass this off as new?" Lol.
I wasn't a member last summer. So no, I don't remember. Also, this thread was created in August.
its not new and neither is this... Still cracks me up every time though.

Was just having a go at you (all in fun, like I said earlier in another thread tone can sometimes be hard to convey/pick up). I liked Trump better when he was a media personality and not a candidate.

8/100 rofl.
In due time. "Patience is a virtue" Campaigns are not run overnight. (unless your name is Rick Perry) It's a step in the right direction, rather than a step back. Unlike Hillary, and her rape statements
