I've done plenty of that today
 
Not just believe, but want to believe. Or don't care either way. People are just so fucking mean about tragedies, man, and with shootings it's even worse because all the douchebags out there treat the victims and victim sympathizers as though they are the problem. It immediately becomes an excuse to whine about my rights, me me me. Never mind that a bunch of small children got blown to absolute shreds.

Is this something triggered by 9/11 or was it that way before?
 
Nada mate, never chatted, just popped in after I saw the link here you posted. Sounds like you were moooved by the compliments...

I wonder who it was. Tonni and Sickness drop in the chat sometimes.

Lol it was too nice and right after I posted the link here a few nights ago so I figured someone was fucking with me. A lot of the people that tune in drop in for horror games since I'm so bitch made about them but Overwatch gets me some decent viewers. I did get a $20 donation from the girls who were perpetrating the cow stuff lmao.

You game much? I've got some business to attend to later but I'll be streaming later tonight.

Not so much that style of games, most of my "gaming" is flight simulator/Torn. Will check it out later on if I'm around.

You know, it's hard to say. Things sort of... crept in over the years. At some point, our culture decided that the response to school shootings, and other mass shooting tragedies, had to be entirely in opposition to the 2nd Amendment. This isn't true, of course, but a whole fucking lot of people would rather stamp their feet and scream to the sky before allowing any challenge -real or imagined- to the sense of personal power and worth they attach to gun rights. The NRA is, I think, heavily to blame for creating (or at least reinforcing) this conflict of interest when there never really needed to be one at all. I actually had a major school shooting in my town back before they became commonplace, and the public reaction between that and later tragedies was very, very different. Granted, this was also before the rise of social media.
 
Fawlty was on thin ice and implied another poster might be fucking jail bait girls and got the boot like roots radicals. It was kind of a bullshit call but the guy he fucked with has sway and he's a habitual line stepper

Trotsky is only suspended and will be back soon
