  1. Re:more guns needed on Mass Shooting In San Bernardino Kills At Least 14 (cnn.com) · · Score: 1
    No, reality disagrees with you.

    How many of those shootings were stopped/ended by someone with a concealed gun?

    Very few of them, because there were no people around with a concealed weapon since law abiding citizens were not carrying a gun in the fucking "gun-free zones" that nearly all of these mass shootings occur in.

    How many of them were not, despite people having concealed guns?

    Again, these things happen almost exclusively in gun-free zones.

    How many of them were made possible in the first place because the shooters could acquire guns that in other countries they would not have gotten?

    None of them. Are you completely ignorant of the law or are you completely stupid? The rifles that were used were illegal for a civilian to own in the United States, and if you think that you can't get an automatic rifle in the UK then you are simply stupid.

    I'll put it this way, maybe you will understand what I am getting at. We don't call them Social Justice Warriors because they actually fight for justice. We call them that to point out the irony that they are hiding behind the cloak of justice in order to directly benefit themselves at the expense of others. Those "micro aggressions" we keep hearing about are complete bullshit. They are nothing more than a tool for an attention seeking whore to satisfy their enormous urge to be both pitied and feel superior to others at the same time, and in many cases the main purpose is to harm others who disagree with their point of view.
    We are not talking about people who are actually discriminated against, we are talking about people who are professional victims who not only do not care about the people who's lives they destroy, but they take a sick and twisted delight in ruining those peoples' lives.

  5. And feminists use this as an argument because they are stupid. It completely contradicts their "all men are inherently evil" narrative.
    There is some plasticity, but our general likes and dislikes are pretty much predetermined by the time we are born.

  6. Brass still conducts electricity, so it creates its own magnetic field in reaction to a changing magnetic field. This certainly has a high probability of working. The only issue is how large of a battery would it need, which I am unsure of.

    And while they may have more will to climb the ladder than others, it is compensated by the fact that their ascension may come to an abrupt stop as their real intentions are discovered.

    I'm glad I wasn't drinking anything when I read this. That is one of the most naive statements I have read in a long time. Psychopaths like other psychopaths because they are very useful to help maintain their power. Who do you think stays in power the longest? A psychopath surrounded by decent people who would call the police on them for their crimes or the one completely surrounded by other psychopaths who will quickly hide all evidence of your wrongdoing in hopes that they will be chosen to be the next in line?

    I'm with you on this one. These days the social sciences have become little more than loudspeakers for feminist propaganda. Their teachings have no basis whatsoever in reality.

    There is a reason that you can join the army at the age of 18 and it isn't because you are expected to be able to make rational decisions by that age. When you are that age you are very easy to manipulate and testosterone is kicked into high gear making us a little more prone to want to fight.
    Is there really a better candidate for military recruitment? Poor decision making skills, still in the midst of confusion from puberty, easy to brainwash, and predisposed to show the women that he is a good, disposable man to protect them, by "protecting" all of them by going to war.

    Military recruitment of 18 year olds is predatory and unjust.

    These bastards have been spying on you, don't even think you were somehow passed over, for over a fucking decade and lying about it with a straight face the whole damn time. And what did they do when they got caught? They blame the person that fucking told us about their lies.

How much abuse will it take before you quit running back to them? Will it be when you are the one unlucky enough to be the one who gets beaten within an inch or your life?

    To me, it's pretty weird for you to be quite so passionate about the existence of dark matter.
    I am simply saying that you should look at other possibilities instead of discount them without any investigation. Sadly this has been standard practice in science as far back as we have records of scientific pursuits. When people base their world-view on a theory they fight to protect that theory with religious fervor. It is just human nature. Since I know about this nature I try very hard to fight it within myself, so when I look into things like this I also look at what opposing groups are saying. This lead me to look into the electric universe theory people. While there are certainly a few in that group that are idiots and have no idea what they are talking about, the others do know what they are talking about. If you know much about electricity and magnetism, which I do, a great deal of what they talk about makes perfect sense. Also, they are not just some group of nut-jobs who preach one thing and keep repeating it over and over again for decades. They are actually doing research and refining their theories.
