You need to go see a doctor. Tons of people are talking about how you are dead or dying, and are very worried about your current state.

The attacker used a knife to injure nine people and was then shot by the police. So I guess he's technically correct in that SOMEONE died of gun violence.

I'd say that "millennial" has become one of those words that just means "person I dislike for x reason," but it already meant "anyone born after, I don't know, 1985?? 30 years is a single generation, right???" so it was basically useless from the start.

It's even earlier than that. I was born in 1981 and there's only 1 out of about 7 groups that study generations that says I'm too old to be a millennial.

So it's hilarious when you read people in their late 20s/early 30s complain about their own generation without realizing it.

The first news story I read about it on the morning that it happened claimed it was an active shooter situation -- the idea that it was gun violence was widely disseminated by the news media before they got all the information and started airing corrections. Don't think it's fair to chide someone for believing what the news told them about a news item, tbqh

STRAIGHT TROPIN'


Okay, I’ll bite the political bullet here:

The reason why my generation has been convinced socialism is the answer is that Reagan was before our time, and all our options other than that were fake capitalists who need the government to regulate their competitors out of business, half of whom were named Bush. We’ve had republicans who seem to not understand their own party’s platform who spent so much time trying to minimize their weaknesses that they forgot to maximize their strengths. Small wonder that they get blown out by a real estate guy with no political experience, a reputation as a jerk, and a terrible haircut.

I remember a beer commercial, showing a street. It started raining, and the people outside tasted the rain, and concluded that it was magically raining beer. So, they celebrated and ran around frantically shouting “It’s raining beer!” and collecting it in wheel-barrels. Then, one of them runs into a bar, says to the patrons, “Hey guys, it’s raining….Oh” only to notice Brand X on the table, considerably darker than the ‘beer’ outside.

I honestly think Ted Cruz is going to win Wisconsin, then we’ll realize it isn’t ‘over’. Cruz will then get a national platform. And I think, he’ll be the ‘Oh’ moment of my generation. The Bushes and Romney were not capitalists. What the republicans were previously selling was not beer, and due to it being so watered down it was actually losing to the kool-aid sellers across the street, now it’s losing to the guy selling ‘mystery drink’.

All my generation really needs is to know what “beer” supposed to actually taste like.

Besides, it was the previous generations that told us college was a requirement to make it in the job market, and it was them that allowed leftists to congregate in the faculty. Not like you can expect to send young minds through a marxist indoctrination mill and expect them to come out balanced.

I was merely providing context for the poster who asked. I too saw the stories about an active shooter, because in our country that was the most likely scenario. Wasn't "chiding" Kaine or anything.

I wonder if there's a way of finding out sales figures for before and after these alleged boycotts take place. At least companies aren't stupid enough to actually take this poo poo seriously, and realise aligning with progression generally works out for the best despite some outcry.

I don't know about the actual sales figures, and the actual extent of these internet led boycotts, but most major companies are giant scared babies, and will do anything to avoid an "outcry" or "offense", or anything that has the Company's name in print in a bad light.

This is why they are so slow to actually do anything progressive, but are lightning quick to drop sponsorship if/when a scandal hits the news.
