Maybe he meant if every person in Inda Africa and China consumed as much as the poorest person in America that we would run out of fossil fuels in a short time.

I thought you were going to talk about high tech gun magazines.

I wonder how she would have reacted to a severed head held by a female comedian?

You should avoid using words like "every" and "all." It makes you look like a retard.

Plus it would put statisticians out of a job.

Not that I really have any love for ALL statisticians...

Europe is no utopia.

For the first time ever, terrorism is perceived by Europeans as the most important issue confronting the European Union. Nearly half of all survey respondents, 44%, now say they believe it to be the most pressing issue — in the fall of 2016, just 32% thought so.
The survey showed that the issue was deemed most concerning by people in Lithuania, the Czech Republic, Cyprus, and Malta.
The finding follows a slew of terror attacks across Europe within the last year, and particularly around the time when Eurobarometer was conducting its survey. Here are some of the incidents that may have set Europeans on edge:

• An attacker plowed a truck into a Christmas market in Berlin, Germany, on December 19, 2016, killing 12 and injuring 56.
  
• A terrorist with a machete rushed a group of soldiers guarding theLouvre Museum in Paris, France, on February 3, 2017. One of the soldiers was wounded.
  
• An attacker mowed down pedestrians on London's Westminster Bridge on March 22, 2017, killing five and injuring 49.
  
• A man plowed a hijacked beer truck into a crowd of shoppers in Stockholm, Sweden, on April 7, 2017, killing four and injuring 15.
  
• A gunman armed with an assault rifle shot and killed a police officer in a shootout on the famed Champs-Élysées boulevard in Paris, France, on April 20, 2017.
  
• A suicide bombing outside an Ariana Grande concert in Manchester, England, on May 22, 2017 killed 22 and wounded dozens of concert-goers.
  
• A group of attackers killed eight people and injured 48 others when they plowed a vehicle into pedestrians on London Bridge on June 3, 2017, then took to the nearby Borough Market, wearing fake explosive belts and armed with 12-inch knives, to stab passers-by.
  

We had less suicidal crazy people when we had a sense of purpose as a nation. This problem is only going to get worse as technology advances to replace the human purpose for living. Government has no solution.

Getting rid of guns might have been a feasible aid at the technology level of the 1980's, but in 2020, you can manufacture a home arsenal of various mass killing devices at the speed of Wifi and amazon and bitcoin. 

A nuclear winter, natural massive volcano event, or asteroid impact may be required to restore a sense of purpose for humanity, otherwise, the robots won't even have to try to take us over. We will be begging them to do it.

And it's going to take a hell of alot more than the deaths of 1 passenger airliner to rewrite the Constitution. Last time we fundamentally rewrote the constitution it took 600,000 lives. Better strap in for some serious carnage boi.

who cares if the KKK goes from 3000 members to 4000? You're statistically more likely to be hit with a bicycle lock or milkshake from an Antifa fag than you are likely to meet a member of the KKK.

Mass shootings happen under every president, not just the ones you love or hate the most. Get over it.

More men fall into the bad end of the tail for random personality traits, so you will see far more male outliers than women capable of performing atrocities ...couple this with the driving testosterone that encourages risky behaviors among males...

More male criminals, more male stupidity to balance out the more male geniuses. It's the male curse.

Most killers are males because they are far more likely to act out on their suicidal impulses than women. It's basic biology.

Most successful suicides are males.

Obviously, I'd like to target the second one seeing as the 1st one is impossible considering the scope of how many guns are already in the country.. Trump's pledge to strengthen red-flag laws is a step in the right direction provided he can build a coalition to refine the policy.

Your turn now, and no more whataboutisms, please.

While having a national fatherless epidemic alone or a sensationalist media alone probably does not breed many mass shooters, the MIXTURE of those 2 things is most certainly toxic enough to account for most abused and neglected shooters seeking validation. Which of those 2 national social problems would you like to see tackled and how?

White nationalism is currently outside the Overton window. There just are not enough people alive that still believe in inherent ability or disability based on melanin content. Even the leftists that believe people of color are too stupid to survive without white-controlled government assistance are dying off.

And the congressional shooter probs was not far right.

Probably groups outside of the Overton window.

As far as wings go, the defining central core tenet between the "wings" in America is more government control and social authority on one side and less government control and more national authority on the other side. I don't see how either wing is particularly appealing to a suicidal misfit.

I'll cut and past it for you.

Third, most of the shooters had studied the actions of other shooters and sought validation for their motives. People in crisis have always existed. But in the age of 24-hour rolling news and social media, there are scripts to follow that promise notoriety in death. (profit-driven narrative) Societal fear and fascination with mass shootings partly drives the motivation to commit them. Hence, as we have seen in the last week, mass shootings tend to come in clusters. They are socially contagious. Perpetrators study other perpetrators and model their acts after previous shootings. Many are radicalized online in their search for validation from others that their will to murder is justified.

Read the 3rd cause in this article.

That provides a tangible link as to why neglected and abused kids find validation through the media.

Every mass shooting is done in a gun-free zone. Checkmate.

 FAKE NARRATIVE NEWS is BAD though...how does society benefit from corporate media profit-driven narratives?

Also, feel free to address the fatherless epidemic sometime before you become a grandfather.

There's also a push from big pharma to incentivize psychologists to hyper- diagnose kids to push pill sales.

Another epidemic aided by a fake narrative.

Correct..media pushing a narrative wasn't a factor back then.

I'm just saying the image that some whacko would go in and shoot a bunch of people in the wild west as depicted in the movies(media) never historically happened. In addition to those 2 problems I described 1) fatherless homes..2) Race-baiting...you can add on 3) media sensationalizing and pushing a narrative they hope crazy people will follow which will then generate profits for them. 

those 3 things should be addressed before attempting to disarm the country.

If the "wild west" had those 3 problems back then, I'm sure you would have seen a similar amount of crazy, maladjusted people blowing up churches and town halls and general stores with Dynomite and sniping people from towers with stolen Remington rifles. (but that only happened in the movies)...no matter who was president or how many guns other people owned.

Those 3 problems are fucking brutal to a functioning society.

00=0

01=1

10=2

2+9 = 11

Okay.

A really large unreported problem in the USA is the collapse of the nuclear family and the rise of absentee parenting. This isn't just a problem affecting minorities as there is a 70% chance if you are a baby born with melanin that you will grow up in a culture of a fatherless household.

20 million American kids of all backgrounds and cultures have no father as I write this.

Couple that with the other slightly lesser problem of the meteoric rise of race-baiting in a climate of competing cultures, and it encourages violence in an otherwise prosperous country with more 1st world problems than any other nation on the planet.

Guns have always been prevalent in the USA for hundreds of years, but these mass shootings and gun violence are relatively new observations in the long history of the USA. Despite what Hollywood would have you believe, it was historically extremely rare to die from a gun in the "wild west."

ahem...

If you're already dead, reveal the flip.

How long is shortly? Inquiring minds want to know!!

Disc has 2 OMGUS votes on him and 1 Bandcamp.

Sorry, I am just being a paranoid townie...nothing to see here... 

Or more precisely is that votecount accurate? It seems maybe scum has a role that messes with the votes maybe.

Are you sure disc voted for himself?

Did you read my post? What are your collective thoughts on 497? I value your opinion.

If loving BSH is wrong, I don't wanna be right.

read post #497. I have some sketchy logic pointing toward Club as town, and Mharman as scum riding on town coattails.

Israel won many wars of independence sadly, so Palestine is basically fucked until they can win a war.

I'd say we can afford to cut ties with Israel now that we can make do without Arabian oil.

whoopsie..VTL MHARMAN

I have to go to work for a few hours so VTL HARMAN 

for riding Club as town all day long with no real logical reason to.

Just to be clear, there is a good chance club is town based on the odds being in favor of a scum poisoner...mod wise a balance would have a poison doctor as a town role, and nobody is stepping up yet to counterclaim club's claim. 

It still does not excuse the tunnel-buddying of Mharman on a player who refuses to cooperate with town.

Wylted may have been right all along to choose Mharman over Club for that unfounded behavior all along, since Mharman offered zero rationale for Club CERTAINLY being town.

At least here I can find some reasons for club possibly being town. 

Mharman offers ZERO reasons...but staunchly teams up with Club to defend him, that's indicative of scum using town as a shield.

UNVOTE so others can chime in on what to do.

We are up to near 500 posts today, and Club has yet to clarify how his role as poison doctor works. The only thing club posted is "even day poison doctor" ...whoa! big help to town here....

Oromagi posts the wiki for poison doctor and club has yet to clarify...heal during even days...heal during even nights? AND WE ARE 500 FUCKING POSTS IN.

If club refuses to help town, then town owes him zero favors. I'm sick of the lack of help from people town asks info from. If we excuse Club from giving town info when town asks for it, what's to stop scum from doing the exact same thing?

We need to lynch club on that principle alone. And if Mharman is town, he is a blathering fool for protecting a useless player like that.

I mean it may well be Mharman is scum buddying to club for town cred knowing Club is such a doofus at this game as to believe scum will support him for no reason while OMGUSSING anyone who questions him as scum.

Town can't use players like that. Zero utility.

This only proves why we need to get rid of Club. He has zero utility for town, and scum will keep him alive as a liability if we choose to not lynch club.

I need a votecount from Warren before I swap to Mharman.

I said it's my guess that he is the poisoner. It's still a riskier lynch.

A win for scum? are you braindead? How many times do I have to explain this to you...

TOWN DOES NOT FUCKING WIN THE GAME IN THE NIGHT WITH POWER ROLES.

The odds are enormously against town winning at night..like 10 to 1 odds that town is going to stop a night kill, so get off this idea that town needs power roles to win the game. Claiming a power role doesn't give you any town cred in my eyes.

Not worth the risk. Club is the safest town lynch right now.
