ComradeCosmobot posted:When asked to explain why he would classify the deadly shooting as a hate crime, Carson said, "Well it's hard to imagine that you would shoot a bunch of people if you didn't hate them, right? You don't do that to people you love." As usual, my first thought is "is he really that ignorant or is he just pandering to people who are?"

Internet Kraken posted:So is it actually controversial to say that people who go on mass shooting sprees are mentally ill? I mean its not an excuse for someone's action but it can be an explanation for why they did it somewhat. I just struggle to see another reason someone would think that killing a bunch of civilians is okay.

Also, at some point you're going to run into the problem of where religious fervor ends and mental illness starts, and no one really wants to talk about that.

I don't even watch American media anymore because of this poo poo but pictures from inside the apartment appeared in a BBC article and I was like argh. I mean, the BBC is also a big powerful media thing with a lot of the same problems but I guess somewhere inside I thought they wouldn't go there.

It seems to me that this is a pretty different thing that defies historical comparison but will be kept on hand to compare future mass shootings to. Like the three or so that will happen next week at the current rate.

at Trump's statement. It's deeply unnerving to me that this man is the frontrunner of one of the two major political parties, and that if he gets the nomination he is just one scandal / disaster / recession away from taking the presidency.

I assume he isn't literally on ISIL's payroll, so does he know he's working for them for free?

Did Trump say how we should identify Muslims to keep them out, or is that just left to the imagination of his supporters (skin color, devil horns hidden under turbans, etc)?

The last article I read about them used the term "self-radicalized". I dunno why but that gives me a funny mental picture, of them looking at themselves in the mirror going "I am radical! I am so radical!"

I know in retrospect that MADD's work was mostly just on an emotional level and not particularly fact based but it sure did its work on me as a kid and now deep inside I think of drunk drivers as ridiculous ultra-scum regardless of their situation.

PUGGERNAUT posted:Forcing women to look at ultrasounds, making them decide how they want the fetuses disposed of - All of this stuff would be so traumatizing for a scared woman seeking an abortion. Do these politicians not realize it would just lead to a bunch of self-induced miscarriages or neglected/abandoned babies? What about rape victims, or women who would want to keep their babies but they're not viable? It's just so heartless and cruel, and it's just pandering for votes.

On Terra Firma posted:I don't think many people who want to restrict access to abortion or any of that really believe it. They know a shitload of yokels out there do though, and that's who they're pandering to. There are tens of millions of people in this country that think that way, and they vote. That somehow makes it worse in my mind.

So I just visited Wall Street for the first time and saw people literally lined up to rub the bull's balls for good luck in business. Is there any more blatant pagan idol worship than that that happens in America these days? Where the hell are all the Christian protesters?
