19 students, 3 adults dead in Texas elementary shooting.

This is the problem. The idea that everything requires a government response.

I was being somewhat sarcastic. I’m not opposed to a few changes, but I don’t think there is a solution. The world is full of evil.

The problem with gun ownership in America is the ones keeping an arsenal in their basement are the most likley to shoot 15 kids.

That’s why there needs to be deterrence. People would be less likely to do these things if someone or something is starting in their way.

I do: massive mental health reform.

But you can’t do that without offending a lot of people.

 

[theFallGuy]

So basically what I’ve gathered from this thread is that no one has any idea or suggestions to stop any further gun violence?

Laws obviously!

 

[Vol8188]

Instead of telling people they’re “beautiful and brave”, perhaps we should try getting them mental help

But you can’t do that without offending a lot of people.

I'm not really concerned with that. There is almost nothing that can be done now unless a person is deemed an immediate threat to themselves or others. Resources are scarce. Referrals take months. It's a completely broken system.

Nope, and you'd better not think of any. Just insult the LGBTQ community for no reason and you might fit in enough to avoid the Usual Suspects.

Adult homosexuals should at least be adamant about not being grouped with the rest of the alphabet soup.

Why don’t they?

When you're the minority and the majority has people who openly wish you harm (or worse), you take advantage of every ally possible.

I can make many more. There are literally shootings in gun zones every day. I am pro 2 A. Your argument is terrible

I know you’re pro 2-A but what I’m saying is
I’d like to see the stats on gun friendly zones that get shot up opposed to gun free and then let’s talk. But using NY as an example is just plain bad argument knowing they make it as hard as they possibly can on those people to get a gun in the first place. That shooter wrote a 180 page manifesto and in it he mentioned he chose NY because he’d be less likely to see return fire. Learned that Colion Noir. I’ll post the video if you’d like

There's a depressing amount of that going on. There are none so blind as those who choose not to see.

Of course, they say the same things about us.

The hatred of LGBTQ folks on this board has kept me from participating here like I used too. The hatred is just off the charts.

 

[allvol123]

Not buying that.

Not a lot of people wishing harm to homosexuals. Not seen any on this site.

I don’t agree with it, but it isn’t my business to run the lives of other adults. But they should damn sure disconnect themselves from the rest of that long chain of letters.

Lots to think about, that's for sure. The anger and vitriol is getting worse, and the leaps in logic to explain how it's ok are getting more complicated.

You don’t believe me, but I don’t see any hatred.

Whose morality?

We can go back and look at what morality was being taught pre school shootings where self respect , and self responsibility were being taught … let’s start there .

My god what a crock of s**t.

 

[loggervol]

You have to remember, disagreeing =hate in the mind of liberal leftist.

 

[C-south]

You use “hatred” just as loosely as you do “bigotry”. Seems you want to be offended just like your other typical liberals.

 

[AshG]

My god what a crock of s**t.

How many LGBTQIA individuals would you consider yourself close to?

Define close.

"F--- your prayers. They haven’t worked for the last 20 mass shootings how about passing laws that will stop these killings," Rep. Ruben Gallego, D-Ariz., tweeted at Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif

Meh, who cares about Issa. He attended Davos.

 

[AshG]

Define close.

Regular open and extended conversations not related to work; voluntary social association outside of work, you'd leave your child alone with them without worry

 

[AshG]

Meh, who cares about Issa. He attended Davos.

And what does that have to do with anything?

 

[Rasputin_Vol]

Yes you do, by describing your relationships. No different than what anyone else does. You are the one sexualizing everything.

We don't go out having to describe our relationships. Hetero is the default position. It is the normal position. WTF are you talking about?

 

[C-south]

Regular open and extended conversations not related to work; voluntary social association outside of work, you'd leave your child alone with them without worry

Be more specific.

 

[Rasputin_Vol]

This right here.

If exposing kids to non-heteronormative material will lead to them being LGBTQIA, then why do people end up LGBTQIA after a decade of nothing but heteronormative education?

It boggles the mind, it really does.

Hetero is the normal/default condition. Heteronormative simply is a fancy way of saying "normal".
