Waiting to see how you libtards will blame this one on Fox News.
Hey nice one, Repeater. Way to get in there with the pre-emptive strike / straw man. Now that you've set up the argument yourself you might as well run with it.Quote:

But hey you just worry about what some "libtard" might say about Fox News because clearly that's the important thing.
What a batch of bs, you talk like my post might be distracting from something that might come out on this forum to make a difference. Why would I not suspect an eventual finger being pointed at Fox News, it seems to be the usual scapegoat.Quote:

And, again, that's only for today.
It's a lot of dead people. Yet apparently one of your most pressing concerns is to call people names on a Thai-centric Internet forum and worry about what they might say about Fox News.
So my question to you would be: do you consider yourself to be a part of the problem or a part of the solution?
:chitown:
Here you go, Repeater.
I very much get the sense that bright colours will assist you in putting things into perspective:

In the past 13 years, 486 people have been killed in mass shootings.

Thank you very much for the graphics, but I already have things in perspective.to put your calendar into perspective I don't see one or two people dying in a shooting as a mass shooting.Quote:

Compared to the population it's a minuscule amount. These things happen in a civilized country, you know.
So is this one Obama's fault for letting in so many Syrians or Hillary's fault for defending Planned Parenthood?
You are talking rubbish, Rick.
This year alone there have been incidents leading to 447 fatalities and over 1,200 injured.
Don't think that includes the slaughter in San Bernadino.
Your quoted report now specifies an erratum in which it stated that the FBI had not included data that corresponded with what normal folk would define as "mass shootings".
Don't shoot the messanger. Read the article which I quoted.
The same thing happened in France and they have gun control.
Gun control only works on people who obey the law.
unfortunate turn of phrase there, but the fact is that there is something seriously awry with the american male psyche that sees such a preponderence of mass killings by young loner nerds, emasculated monosyllabic backwoodsmen and disgruntled lower class meatheads.Quote:
Don't shoot the messanger.
i think it is the effects your fearsome and masculinized women have on the hapless american male that are as much to blame as the lax gun laws.
Another moron chimes in throwing 320 million people under the bus. Stick to shoving sausages up your arse.Quote:

5. America is an unusually violent country. But we're not as violent as we used to be.
https://teakdoor.com/images/imported/2015/12/97.jpg
Kieran Healy, a sociologist at Duke University, made this graph of deaths due to assault in the United States and other developed countries. We are a clear outlier -- along with Estonia and Mexico. Yet this country is a far less violent place than it was 40 years ago, with the rate of deaths due to assault declining by roughly half.
As Healy writes, "The most striking features of the data are (1) how much more violent the U.S. is than other OECD countries (except possibly Estonia and Mexico, not shown here), and (2) the degree of change—and recently, decline—there has been in the U.S. time series considered by itself."
Rick, it's all in the statistics and the NY Times published an erratum a month after the article appeared. The FBI methodology excluded many shootings.Quote:

Admission of the reality will lead to acceptance and then maybe, just maybe, your people might achieve progress.
Frankly, I think you are all a bit too, well, stupid.
I knew you would be pleased.Quote:

1. Shooting sprees are not rare in the United States.
Mother Jones tracked and mapped shooting sprees over the three decades since 1982. They counted 72 mass shootings in 31 states.
A Congressional Research Service report published in 2013 counted 78 incidents over roughly the same period, in which 547 people were killed. Definitions of mass shootings vary. The report excludes those for whom terrorist ideology or criminal profit was a motivation. The Mother Jones staff limited themselves to indiscriminate killings of at least four people in public places by lone shooters.
It's too early to say whether this latest incident would satisfy either definition.
In most cases, the Mother Jones staff found, the killers had obtained their weapons legally:

Using a much broader definition that includes any incident in at least four people were wounded by gunfire, mass shootings are a daily occurrence in the United States. There have been at least 355 such incidents so far this year.
Quite amusing that septics refer to themselves as a nation of 320 millions yet when they begin to attribute reasons why their country is such a social morass they invariably blame the non-white immigrant stock for their woes yet they in fact make up the majority of their mongrel race.Quote:
