Bomb in NYC injures 29 people - Page 4

Real talk: I can't even get worked up over this. I'm just tired. It'll happen again, and again, and again, in a theater, or a school, or a subway, but nothing will ever change.

We'll talk, and we'll point fingers, and we'll incriminate and discriminate and investigate, but at the end of the day, we're still only a couple of weeks from the next local terrorist attack.

Not according to Snopes.

Since that would probably ruin his chances of beating Clinton, he most likely wouldn't, he's smart enough to know that.

He's a Protestant? Presbyterian? Something.
But come on. This is Trump, everything is a show.

but yeah, better the devil you know, who isn't looking to bring more religious tension to the country.

It's one thing to have differences, but the number of attacks...

These attacks only happen because gun laws.

*plastroncafe* · 09-19-2016, 08:03 PM

And because they sell explosives at sporting goods stores.

*ToTheNines* · 09-19-2016, 08:08 PM

Yeah! ****in Dick's!

NY should just go open carry.

Things would just be so much simpler.

You fool. People will only stop doing bad things if the government makes everything related to said thing illegal.

It really is the kind of thing that, while troubling, doesn't hit home until it, you know, actually hits home.

I hasn't affected me directly, yet, but if it ever did, I'd have a hard time suppressing my rage, considering it's completely preventable.

Lol, some people aren't old enough to remember the war on drugs. Went over like a lead F*cking balloon, not to mention Regan being implicit in the escalation of the crisis.
We manufacture fear at first, but after a while, it picks up speed under it's own momentum.

There's really not much to talk about when, as a culture, we've decided we're okay with little kids getting shot in school.

At this point it's just a matter of time.

I am rather entertained by people so easily mollified by the containment of one person. Like...We can all sleep easier now, we have the One Guy.

Agreed. We grow numb through overexposure until those incidents strike a little closer to home or regain our "interest", if you will, through escalation.

Then let's talk about Bastille Day. Should we outlaw diesel trucks?

As an aside, i just want to say, I read the other day that Texas is on track to over comply with the new emissions standards for 2030.

For once the "everything's bigger in Texas" falls on the side of good.
Congrats.

The only thing that will stop a badguy driving a diesel truck, is a goodguy driving a diesel truck.

Get rid of the zealots and deal with the mentally ill, the gun "problem" solves itself.

Then again, if we all have guns, the gun problem again, solves itself.

You're overestimating the smartness of people. If every dumbf*ck had a weapon AND open carry was legal could you imagine the amount of shootings over minor things? Sure, let the stupid kill themselves, but when you'd find yourself looking down the barrel after spilling your popcorn at the movie theatre, what are you gonna do?

Considering the impending water shortage/crisis...

What I'm saying, there is an upside to everything.

I never spill my popcorn. I don't do popcorn.

When we have a major water crisis, I wouldn't even care. I'd go full mad max at that point. No laws, no rules except my own. Immortan Snake.
