go live somewhere else you US hating

Okay.

Come on man, it’s not US hating. I agree with him and you know me and you agree on most things. Communism has killed far more than we have, and for far worse reasons. But this domino theory turned nation building ******** is just an excuse to keep Boeing, Lockheed Martin, and the rest of the MIC raking in blood money. We haven’t had a single conflict since 1945 that’s justifiable.

And I’m not even criticizing our military budget that much. I’m not an idiot. We have a target on our back and we need to be prepared… but we were founded on “don’t tread on me,” not “tread on others and cry foul when they defend themselves.”

What'd he do? Nvm. Looked it up.

Opposes affordable housing because it's near his mansion but also allegedly supports lessening the wealth gap.

The rich always support lessening the wealth gap as long as it costs them nothing.

Neither is normalizing mental issues.

I get that all of us don't agree on prayer and faith but we can agree on the damage done by normalizing all this gender crap and pedophilia. If something is not done about honestly addressing mental health and charging teachers and other groomers with Child Abuse you can guarantee two things will go through the roof in the future: Mass Shootings and the Suicide Rate Among Teens.

I'm not sure how 'normalizing all this gender crap' leads to school shootings. Pedophilia is one of so many issues that messes kids up clearly. Mental health care though just sucks (nice if you can afford it). One day, maybe we'll learn the value of prevention.

“Gender crap” and pedophilia are two separate issues

They should be but putting Drag Queens in front of young children is to a degree sexualizing a behavior. Changing the name of a Pedophile to a "Minor Attracted Person" is seeking to normalize that behavior. Obviously that's not the only issue and probably isn't the root cause of why this person did what they did, but it's another in a longer and longer list of things being thrown at our children that lead to confusion, mental health issues, etc. I will continue to offer prayers in these situations. That's not saying "look at me", that's saying "turn to God". As a practical matter, one point of entry in schools, doors that lock automatically and are equipped with alarms, training and arming carefully selected staff members are all SPECIFIC steps that can be taken to try to harden targets. Until we are able to be honest with ourselves as a society and recognize Mental Health issues and the damage caused by the breakdown of the family and abuse, hardening the target is the best we can do.

Agreed mostly though I don't believe 'Drag Queens' belongs in this conversation though that is the current hot topic. And, I do believe we need to address the topics of Guns better than today. How did she get that gun? How much of a background check was done? Were there big red flags?

It probably doesn't, you're right. As far as the other, I think the Mental Health of the individual is more important than how the gun was obtained. I think there is a need for red flag laws; I just don't trust the Federal Government at all to administer them and not use them against the general population.

I have to trust the Feds on this. I do like the quote "The government does have a place. It's just really bad at figuring out what that place is". But, they are the ones that must take action. A combination of much better mental health care (available and affordable) along with laws that keep guns out of the hands of those that should not have them are both key. Of course, those aren't the only answers.

Funny how these shootings started to ramp up pretty soon after we shut down all the mental asylums.

I worked at a behavioral hospital many years ago.. folks typically don’t want to be there because they don’t like the meds, are bored, want drugs, want to smoke all day, or sometimes they are scared of the other patients.. they also can only be held for so long and sign themselves out AMA… I saw maybe a handful of success stories, but for a lot of people it was a revolving door.. some people do need a longer time than insurances will pay for (and maybe a better environment) in order to improve

Like spray people with rubber hoses? they were pretty inhumane.. Housing people like in a group home setting might not be bad idea, but a lot of the time, if you are really out if touch with reality, you don’t realize that you are out of touch with reality lol.. the shooter’s mom thought ‘she’ was ‘fine’… /I’m giving side-eye right now/ and chances are good that this person would not have been identified as needing to be somewhere unless ‘she’ self harmed or came out and told someone what she was going to do.. I personally think ‘she’ was a red flag, but that’s also hindsight talking, and you have to be so careful now in calling people out, like hey, uh.. you may need help.. and she was also autistic, and apparently a lot of trans people are also autistic (which today was the first time I had ever heard this)

Yea, focusing on just institutionalization isn't the answer either. Though, I did work at an inpatient hospital in Knoxville that did fairly well...until insurance ran out. We need better, more available outpatient care, better social services, and more. Plus, cost is still prohibitive especially for the young adults

We may have worked at the same place

I have to agree there.. I have my phone connected to the wifi and I shut everything down after 11 and unplug it from the wall.. you can also put all of your stuff on a timer

wish they'd unplug Utah from the US.

Feel the same way about California, NY, Massachusetts, Illinois, Oregon, Washington.
