Please do not send me group invites.

Slacktivism. Only slightly better than "like"ing something on facebook to show your support of a cause.

So people are blaming video games for the shooting of 26 people?

Call me crazy, but I thought it would make more sense to blame the guy who shot 26 people...

I hate MLP. It is cancerous and pretty stupid to see men watching a show for girls. They can deny the truth but the truth shall prevail!

Because violent video games totally caused the shooting.

Because scapegoating video games, movies, and music is so much easier than addressing the real problem: responsible gun ownership and access to proper mental health care.

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

It's this mentality that makes me shake my head. Is responsibility that hard to take?

Idiots.

Good for them. They will be bored -blam!-less though.

Yes, there're too many numbers in my name.

Why not destroy their televisions? No more violent movies, shows, or vidya games.

Pretty much this IMO

If we disagree, it's nothing personal, opinions are opinions.
Antagonizing me to build a false sense of worth is so damn cute.

Brighten your day with science.

Stupid response to shootings is stupid.

Responsible gun owners are not the problem.

So that leaves the obvious answer of more focus on proper mental health assessment and care.
