Mavric posted:There is nothing new or funny about this so why make something new? Yeah. I've noticed they have fun with the NRA reaction, like LaPierre visiting the evidence room with balloons and stuffed animals for the gun used in the shooting. But for the shootings themselves, I think they've squeezes the subject dry.

RusteJuxx posted:What could Obama do, even in a legally grey area way, to in someway address gun control? Is there anything he can do via executive order that might help even a little? Maybe this time he can try reverse psychology and issue an executive order to suspend all Federal gun control and permit civilians to buy military arms at cost. It'd put the Republicans in a position where they'd have to sue to stop him.

AlternateNu posted:Local news is saying there's no confirmation this chase/shooting has anything to do with the earlier shooting. They're just covering their bases. It's good practice to not jump to conclusions or make assumptions, even when they're really obvious. Once the situation is resolved, they'll approach it from a detached, analytical perspective and confirm that it's the same SUV.

I saw an article that said that one of the suspects worked for the department of health, so it looks like a personal beef. No idea how three people became involved.

KirbyKhan posted:You dont do a cost-benefit analysis on the value of a soldier being held hostage. You work to get that person back, then figgure out what to do with Bhergdal when he is safely back in US custody. I wonder if it depends on whether or not people have been through Code of Conduct training or other SERE training. I went through the basics when I was in the Navy, we went over the code of conduct and watched videos with interviews of former POWs and stuff. The thing that they really emphasized was that the things that led up to your capture aren't going to be forgotten, but you don't need to worry about that while you're in captivity because as long as you keep to the code of conduct, your country is going to be fighting to get you back. I think that it's easy to forget that Berghdal isnt the first guy to get captured in sketchy circumstances and he won't be the last. The media campaign against Berghdal is powerful ammunition against future POWs who might not have been captured under perfect circumstances. Let's imagine that some sailor misses movement because he got drunk at a Korean brothel. He makes a few calls to try and get in touch with his command but before making it to the embassy, he's kidnapped and smuggled to North Korea. His captors now control his access to information. How is this sailor going to stay strong when he's told that the US considers him a deserter and that several Marines have died as a result and Rush Limbaugh holds him personally responsible. With Berghdal, the United States has made it clear that if you're a POW, you can't necessarily count on us for support.

Muscle Tracer posted:People are getting paid, they're just getting paid poo poo and don't trust their positions enough to voluntarily move out of the most stable housing available to them. I'm seeing more homes built with multigenerational families in mind. There's a main household and then an attached apartment that shares the garage and laundry room etc. The idea is that one of the kids can come back, move into the apartment, get married etc. Once they have kids, and especially as the kids get older, you swap houses.

sugar free jazz posted:So a drunk driver killing no one should be treated the same as a drunk driver killing ten people? What the gently caress is wrong with you? I kinda get the idea behind this train of thought. I don't necessarily agree, but I think you can create a consistent code of laws that doesn't distinguish between reckless behavior that kills people and reckless behavior that, by luck, does not kill people. If I get mad at my TV, pull out a gun and open fire into the TV and apartment on the other side, it's only a matter of luck whether or not someone dies. Why should I get a break just because I happened to not kill anyone while behaving in an absurdly reckless manner?

TheDisreputableDog posted:Yeah it's almost like there was a missing piece of information that guy didn't have. Did the missing piece of information involve a former squadmates that hated Berghdal, claimed that if he'd found him he would have murdered Berghdal, and personally blamed Berghdal for the deaths of every soldier who died afterwards?

They certainly did, his squad was under a gag order to keep them from Jane Fondaing him by releasing information that would be used to exploit a POW.

I think mayonnaise would be a more tolerable condiment if it came in Dijon mustard sized containers. A teaspoon can really go a long way in giving bland scrambled eggs some nice flavor. But when you're slathering all over your food... I don't know, what the gently caress is wrong with people?

radical meme posted:But, the reason I love baseball so much is because it's the nerdiest, most geeky sport in the world. While I will admit that the stats side of baseball is geeky; weightlifting is nerdy as hell. There's very little need for teamwork, aside from spotting. It involves keeping track of what you do, lots of logs and numbers. It's pretty much a real life RPG, you've got to grind your muscle groups and they slowly go up in level.

I think it sorta makes sense that he's trying to reach across to the Trump supporters. I think that there's a large chunk of people who have a sinking feeling that something is wrong. You've got people who have worked hard their whole life, mostly followed the rules to success and now they're no better off than either their parents or themselves 30 years ago. When someone is in this vulnerable state, they're looking for answers. Some people get sucked into conspiracy theories. It's that darn Jewish Conspiracy that cost me that promotion! Others buy the story that it's some racial minority that's stealing all the prosperity. If it wasn't for those darn blacks and their welfare Cadillacs, I'd be rich! Or maybe it's those darn Mexicans who are stealing all our jobs? Libertarianism offers a convenient story, it's the government's fault. Government can't do anything right, so if we got the government out of our business, we'd all be better off. And then there's Socialism. I assume a lot of us here have landed on this as the solution. I think a good chunk of us (including myself) got here via Libertarianism, until we realized it was a sham. People are scared, they want answers that make sense. The same person that can be convinced that they're poor because of greedy immigrants, greedy blacks, greedy lizardmen or greedy statists can be convinced that the real problem is greedy rich people.

Maybe if someone put up a sign that said "Colorectal Cancer Kills" after a family member died from Colorectral cancer, and then someone cut out Colorectal. Edit: If we were to travel back in time to when Breast Cancer really did need an awareness campaign, the Breast Cancer analogy would apply.

ratbert90 posted:I hate our health care system and I also hate this bullshit rhetoric that comes from the news stations whenever the VA is mentioned. If this guy really wanted to rob a bank just for the healthcare he would have immediately turned himself in, he wouldn't have paid for his rent, and he wouldn't have tried to sell his place. Yeah, if the guy had stolen a much smaller amount, $100 or something and turned himself in the same day, I'd find him much more sympathetic. That said, it doesn't sound like the guy is 100% all there

It's probably pride."
