"Before you insult someone, try walking a mile in their shoes. This way, when you insult them, you are a mile away and have their shoes."

Another shooting in Aurora, a hostage crisis due to a man with a gun has reportedly killed 4 people. The situation is under control. Source is in Dutch, so I've translated the article for you:


In Aurora, a county within the state Colorado, a hostage situation has caused the death of 4 people. This after a press release from the police, according to 9news.

In a house (where the summer of 2012 saw a shooting at a move premiere), a man held 4 people hostage. One of the hostages escaped and notified the police. After a few hours, the police intruded the home and killed the hostage taker.

Was that aimed at me or the shooting? A bit confused, Ben.

The shooting. I have nothing against you.

The fact that America in general seems to keep thinking it's ok to pull a gun and go on one disgusts me.

Thanks for clarifying, my English is a bit shoddy.

And of course, as always, agreed.

“I didn't want to wake up. I was having a much better time asleep. And that's really sad. It was almost like a reverse nightmare, like when you wake up from a nightmare you're so relieved. I woke up into a nightmare.”

Watch a bunch of -blam!- -blam!-s use this as a basis as to why guns should be banned.

Just saying, I can guarantee you most American's don't, and will not, ever pull a gun and go mass shooting. If you believe that then there is something wrong with your head.

I'm done with gun threads though. They just make my blood boil over misconception and I end up banned. I'll leave this thread to you guys.

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.

Who is up for helping to make a new country where only intelligent and well educated people can live?

I say build up tons of rock and soil in the middle of the Atlantic, call it a country, and keep anyone out that doesn't have the skills, knowledge, or mental state to contribute to it in a crime-free manor.

I'm with you!

While I think it's a bad idea to enforce laws regarding intelligence, laws can be broken and I'm an egalitarian, I think we should at least test people for competence.

Also, legal weed
