People who say these shootings are because of 2012...how can you attribute the end of the world to human nature? Shouldn't the end of the world or life be caused by natural disasters, not from choices made by humans who were probably influenced by other humans?

Studies show that men think about sex every 7 seconds. I do my best to eat hotdogs in under 6, just so things don't get weird.

Please allow me to introduce Myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
I've been around for a long, long year
Stole many a man's soul and faith

Yup. I really could use some Christmas cheer right about now.

Quality over quantity. Maybe if you made threads with actual discussion value, not people yelling at each other, you wouldn't have an army of alts you would need in order to participate in these forums. Funny how your accounts last days; mine, years.

You mean the threads you're not smart enough to take part in? My thread in regards to war had good discussion value, yet you were quite literally the only idiot not smart enough to actually think about what I said yet called me a troll simply because I posted it. I am quite certain you are one of the least intelligent people on this forum. You're not the dumbest, but you're by no means the smartest, yet average.
Tell me, Rose. What do you consider yourself then?

If only a couple died, this honestly isn't something to unordinary. In my local news, two police officers were killed tonight.

Are we really this desensitized?
Not at all. It's just that this happens all the time, but those shootings are never recognized until a mass shooting makes everything look worse.

And still, the US thinks banning guns is stupid. Lol.

You could argue the end of the world could be caused by nuclear annihilation, which is a product of human choices.

Yes you could, but in this situation, the end of the world theory for 2012 has been predicted long, long ago. If the world were to end in 2012 because humans decided to kill everyone...wouldn't that just be because of mental influence? No one has a prediction for when someone is going to drop an end of the world bomb and wipe everyone out.

I'm the cult of personality,
I call it like i see it, if i feel the need to be blunt and to the point, then i will, if i feel the need to be very detailed, i will, im here to stay and im here to do things my way, if you respect that or not is your choice, not mine,
and don't worry, while i don't agree with everyone's opinion, i do respect everyone's opinion.

I wish you were a troll.
I was hoping that same thing before entering this thread, it seems we were/are both disappointed.

A real test of a man is if he is willing to scrape a sharpened razor up and down his junk just to please a woman.

A lot of people (crazy psychos) think the world will end on 12/21/12. Since they have nothing left to live for due to the world ending next week, they'll go out with a bang.
That's my theory, too.

Dear tomorrow, Find some sensibility, Respond to emotion.
Dear Politician, Define sagacity,
All chances of survival are beginning to diminish.
Comedy is no excuse for our own blasphemies.
Mass media, Mass pessimism, Mass Denial.
My television tells me to panic, but I don't think I'll listen.
The apathetic force us to persevere, with their backwards priorities.

Tsk tsk is all I will say.

December 21, 2012. And people thought I was a troll, but I called it.


If all else fails... look for the crystal skulls. Just sayin.

NEWS FLASH

The world is way more connected, so news travels faster and to more people. Shooting have happened for as long as guns have existed. We just hear about them a lot more now.

Meanwhile estimates of deaths in the Syrian civil war vary between 40,000 and 56,050 over the last year and a half and no one cares.

I don't live in Syria and therefore that war poses no immediate threat to me or my family and friends. That's how the world works.

I don't live in Connecticut, I actually live quite far from there, But all I hear about is that shooting and why I "should" care. I mean I am pissed that children died, but children dying to adults is nothing new.

And what happens in the world does affect us, especially major wars. The media just shields you from it very well.

EDIT: Also don't say children dying is a tragedy people should remember. Just happened in the last couple hours. But the U.S. media may briefly mention it...
