The most recent mass murder in the USA barely registered with me. It's so routine that it isn't even front page news, worth checking into the details.

Buncha more people murdered. Don't know if it was more schoolkids or people in a mall or wut.

Maybe I should specify: I'm talking about something in Oregon. There was something in Oregon not too long ago.

For all I know I am a mass murder or two behind though. Maybe there has been something since then?
 
Most of Europe doesn't have physical borders. You drive through Germany and then BLAM the road signs suddenly turn to Czech. Same thing when driving from the Czech Republic to Poland. Same with France and Germany.

Not sure how many countries allow people to freely move in and out, but there's a whole bunch of non-borders out there.

Word. I was in Colorado during Columbine and I will never forget that...I remember being at work and listening to the play by play on the radio.. and the whole city was fucked up for a while. Maybe it was because I was in Denver, maybe it was because it was one of the first school shootings, but it was chilling. CHILLING.

Now, yeah...another one...sad, but it's lost it's punch.

But I guess we knew that...a few mass murders ago. Internet has let crazies meet up with crazies who support their crazy agenda. I blame the internet...oh and parents...FW spot on about pathetic parenting.
 
Sometimes I feel like some kind of tax might help, Dave. Reducible death tax.

People will say completely ridiculous things to justify anything. On no topic is that more apparent than the things those special Americans say to justify allowing a lot of unnecessary death to continue. They can spin nonsense 24/7 - because there is no cost (besides a lot of people dying).

It's like guys spouting idiotic theories about sports betting on the internet. It's easy to say shit - BUT once you start actually placing bets, and your stupid ideas are consistently costing you money, people notice. They change their tune pretty fast.

I'm just speculating but if citizens had to pay out-of-pocket whenever reducible deaths happen - a system where the tax kicks in when the country is at a rate above a reasonable expectation based on civilized societies - talkin' yer mass murders, yer serials, yer assassinations - we'll leave unnecessary wars as a separate issue for now - people might start to say, "Hey wait a minute. Let's really think about this."

Maybe what is needed is a little incentive (besides a lot of people dying.)

Not a bad idea, except for we have enough false flag conspiracists already.

:facepalm:

Seems to me that most school shooters had easy access to guns owned by their parents.

Y'all are beyond retarded with your gun fetishism.

I think most get them from other sources. I don't think many parents use assault rifles to protect the household.

Mass murders are bad but are they worse than 50 shootings in Chicago every weekend?
