Another School Shooting

[Otern]

This is a solid point.

Mind you it's hard to kill dozens of people in a few minutes with a whisky.

Yet it has happened, plenty of times:

It's hard to kill dozens of people in a few minutes with a whisky, but it's way easier for an individual to kill a lot of people when losing control of himself, an this is where alcohol comes in.

And this is not really the primary casualties of alcohol either, just like mass shootings aren't the primary cause of deaths due to guns. It's all those small scale deaths that contribute to the statistics, which we simply don't care about.

But drinking is fun, so it's not going away. I'm just pointing out how even if most of us in the west aren't gun owners, most of us are guilty of supporting some sort of "death industry" anyway.

I can only hazard a guess at what you mean by "anarchy," but I flatly dispute that the state is needed to own, administer, and compel attendance at the point of a gun at "schools."

Y'all are compelling attendance at the point of a gun...

Shiet... you ARE bad ass.

Social isolation and alienation.

Disintegration of the community.

Breakdown of the human family.


Nobody wants to discuss the actual problems. It's too easy to ban a gun.

Ban it on paper, actually doing the hard work of enforcing said ban. Not so much.

We've discussed these problems...

But I haven't heard any really bright ideas about what to do about them.

One community at a time... boots on the ground... start getting together...

Turn off the smartphones... neighborhood bbqs. Stop moving around all the time look for greener grass on the other side of town or the country...

Loyalty to place, people, local culture... stop blaming, start connecting.

We are a long way off from any of this.

Down with temperance, a pox on reformers, step on that lawn, and you're gonna get two in the Che Guevara T-shirt, one in the Guy Fawkes Mask.

Negative on this sector, I say again negative on this sector. No hostiles present, personnel in area.

Hockey sucks.

[StCapps]

Hockey is shit.

Enemy identified. Good thing the Rangers are looking to rebuild, the sooner y'all trade Rick Nash, the better clubby. Good thing the trade deadline is coming up.
