Are people really forwarding/Facebook posting that email without even updating the year counts?

This is so wrong it's farcical. For the US to be 3rd in the world in murder rates it'd need to have 57 murders per 100,000 population, or 180,710 murders a year. For the US minus Chicago, Detroit, DC and NO to be 4th from bottom in the world in murder rates it'd need 0.3 murders per 100,000 population, or 889 murders a year. So in those 4 metros you're looking at 179,821 murders a year, out of a population of 20,624,787. That's 0.9% of the population murdered each year, at a rate of one every 3 minutes. e: numbers taken from here

Neruz posted:It's all word salad. I think it's half "drat lie-berals posting on their Twitters will never get anything done" and half "Obummer stop being such a pussy and let's go kill us some Ay-rabs". Ignoring the fact that a) the ALS ice bucket challenge has just recently become absolutely huge because of social media's influence and b) it's not exactly a matter of sending some SEALs over and shooting anyone in an ISIS t-shirt.

When a white, middle-aged Republican poses for photos with a gun they're a "patriot" and a "real American" exercising their Second Amendment rights. When a young black man does the same, he's a "violent thug" and a "gangsta wannabe". The level of double standards is just amazing.

If you ever want to kill some time (and end up hating people) search on Twitter for "I'm not racist but".

Well, the other options are a) do loving nothing, which won't change anything, and b) invade, which we've seen work so loving well over the last 15 years or so.

Today I spent my lunch hour listening to a group of 60-something men discuss how we'd be better off if the country was run like in Logan's Run, without noticing the apparent irony.

Coffee And Pie posted:I got to hear my dad complaining today that he can't go back to Yankee Stadium anymore because concealed carry is forbidden. It's like, just don't have a gun for a day, you'll be fine. I never carry a gun, I do pretty well for myself. What could you possibly need a gun at a baseball stadium for? Unless he really really hates the wave.

"Hitler said it, therefore it must be bad" is just terrible logic even by right-wingers' standards. This is of course assuming that Hitler did actually say it, because at least half the quotes I see on macros like this are just made up to get the point across.

Meepo posted:This came across my Facebook today, and the comments are the most ridiculous combination of keyboard toughguys mixed with blatant racism. If there are countries where you'd be shot for this (and there's no loving way it's most of them) then it's places like Iran, North Korea, Zimbabwe, Libya, Somalia - definitely countries we should be trying to emulate.

Mo_Steel posted:Originally fifth, behind the proposed second article: "No law varying the compensation to the members of Congress, shall take effect, until an election of Representatives shall have intervened." It's so important, in fact, that it was left out of the original Constitution entirely and had to be added in later.

The Macaroni posted:Okay, fine, Hilary is not a conventionally pretty young woman. The worst thing is that if she were, the very same people playing the "Ewww, Hilary so ugly!" card would immediately turn around and say "She's a shallow airhead model, no substance like the stately femininity of the elder Bush women!" Also the same group who were shouting "how dare Obama attack Palin for her appearance" back in 2008.

Forceholy posted:That's one thing that bothers me about beauty standards on the internet. Whenever a pretty black lady is shown on the internet, her beauty is always dismissed as her having "white features" or she's declared not pretty at all due to her being black, as if white people have a monopoly on looking good. It's not just beauty standards either. A well-dressed black person will be accused of "dressing white" and a well-spoken one of "talking white". Because the only way a black person can achieve anything is by trying to be less black.

You'd certainly need to give them all full psychiatric screening first. The last thing you want is Private Jeff, who did two tours in Iraq, hearing a door slam and suddenly having flashbacks to Fallujah.

Jabarto posted:It might be too late for that, Sven just said this to me: He's clearly never worked in any kind of food or catering business. Since a) he clearly believes that someone sitting in an office that happens to be on a military base is working harder than a server or a bartender or a short-order cook (all of which can be tough and incredibly stressful jobs) and b) any business in that sector that has labour as its #1 expenditure is shittily-run and has bigger problems to deal with than a few dollars an hour wage rise.

Nyarai posted:Hey, so I have a friend who seems to have run afoul of the the right-wing propaganda machine. He's a nice guy. Just very afraid. Could people help me debunk some of his other concerns? Thanks. To be honest I think he might be too far gone to help. Once people start spouting conspiracy theories about Soros et al I usually give up and put them on ignore. If you want to keep fighting I'd try and get some info together on Stockholm, and how it's a modern and vibrant city mainly known for its lack of mortar attacks, mass killings, general barbarity etc. He'll probably claim that any mainstream media sources are biased, but a few Stockholm-based blogs might do something.
