crazy shooters are everywhere, but they are few rarer in countries that do the bare minimum to keep guns out of the hands of nutbags. the usa seems to think handing out guns is completely ok. and so we have much more crazy shooters and homicides than our social and economic peers
i really don't understand how someone can say they are for *responsible* gun use but have no problem with laws that promote *irresponsible* gun use. the second amendment even says a "well-regulated" militia (meaning "well-trained"). so train the fuckers. before they get a gun, like we do with cars. that's not "evil gun grabber denying guns." that's simply insisting on responsible gun use. as written in the fucking second amendment!: "a well-regulated militia". well-regulated = well-trained. the founding fathers, when writing the second amendment, were aware of the need for *responsible* gun use, they use the fucking language. and somehow the second amendment means "hand out guns to any mouth breathing moron who asks for one" today. it doesn't. disgusting. a gun is dangerous and requires responsible training. or otherwise you have sky high homicide rates. which we have. how can anyone defend this pathetic status quo in the usa? how can someone who is a responsible gun owner defend this status quo?
you would think gun owners would know more than anyone the need for responsible training first
but then we're talking about depression and overwhelming narcissism here
because depressed suicidal people still know right and wrong: they aren't going to take 150 innocent people out with them. the desire to harm the self for various reasons is not the same as the desire to harm others. so when you're talking murder/ suicide, such as when a dad or mom kills the spouse/ kids then themselves, you're at a level far beyond and far different than just depression and suicide, you're dealing with a narcissistic asshole
if it is simply suicide and not terrorism, this suicidal guy is still a complete piece of shit on the level of a terrorist. to be so overwhelmed with such a selfish egotistical internal drama that 150 lives simply don't mean a thing? wow
man, if this is all because some fucking girl broke up with him... fuck this douchebag
but pilot suicide/ homicide is just as much a bizarre outlier as murderous hijacking
plus, they thought about this problem when designing the system. the door system means someone can enter a PIN on a keypad outside and override the lock (in case of pilot incapacitation). to override the override, the person inside the cockpit has to actively deny the outside override attempt. which in this case the copilot apparently did
so this copilot is a complete scumbag. depression and suicide is nowhere remotely an excuse or even a valid explanation for selfishly mass murdering 150 innocent people. this is assuming we are talking depression and suicide, and not more nefarious intent
what are we left with? keep the door open and we have murderous hijacking? keep the door locked and we have murderous pilots? yeah both are extremely rare outliers, but it's fucking scary either way
air travel is so much safer than driving statistically. but at least when you die in a car, it's for mundane, hum drum reasons usually. when something goes wrong in the air, it's cinematic drama, emotional and blood curdling. disgusting
and those poor people
there's screams on the recording on the end
we would have hoped they had no idea what was coming, but they knew full well what was happening.
those are completely and utterly different. and yet you mix them up as if they are the same topic on the same measure! incredible. all you are doing is self-identifying as morally ignorant
you really can't tell the difference between a smart person doing something evil and a dumb person fucking up? that's really the same weight in your moronic "understanding" of the world?
what the fuck is wrong with people?
it's rather disturbing, not that there are evil people in the world, but that so many people seem to have weaker moral reasoning abilities than some intelligent animals like chimpanzees and parrots
if a woman walks butt naked into a cell block full of hardened convicts, she is well beyond stupid and into the realm of insanity
but if a convict touches her he is the one has chosen to transgress against another
it is possible for a butt naked woman to walk up to a sex starved man, and the man to know he has no right to touch her without her consent, and to simply not touch her. if he chooses to touch her without her agreeing then he, and he alone, has committed a crime. she has committed no crime. none
you are responsible for your choices and what you do. no matter the temptation. no matter the context
the actions that come out of you is your fault only. 100%
the "logic" of this line of thought never ceases to surprise me
it doesn't matter who was shot, who was robbed, who was raped... there's always some fucking genius out there who wants to present a rationale whereby the victim is at fault
do you consider yourself a moral person?
you do?
stop
you're not a moral person. you really aren't. you lack moral reasoning
morality is *never* about blaming the victim
example:
if i put $100 on my front porch i'm an idiot. a moron. stupid
and innocent
if someone steals that $100 they have transgressed onto property that clearly was not there's and taken something which was clearly not there's. they are the person 100% in the wrong. they are who you *should* blame
but you don't, do you?
what we have is a world where people like yourself take all of your outrage, and point it at the victim for being "stupid" (all crimes can be described in a manner where the victim has done something stupid along the way and so they "deserve" it). but the really amazing part is: how much of your "outrage" have you pointed at the perp? none. you let the actual criminal get away with zero blame in your mind. thus, you lack fundamental moral reasoning
"oh but i do blame the criminal too..." but you spend your energy attacking the victim. that's who you blame. that's the problem
you're the problem, in many ways, more than than the stupid victim, more than the evil criminal
because you further victimize the victim, and you let the perp get away without any blame or focus. and so justice is not served. the victim suffers more. the perp goes on to victimize others. some even laud the criminal for being strong and tough for picking on the stupid and the weak. true amorality
just take solace in the knowledge there are a hell of a lot of douchebags out there like yourself who blame the victim all the fucking time
there should be a morality iq test in this world. lot's of "intelligent" people (good at chess and software design) seem to lack really basic fundamental aspects of moral reasoning
to not be aware of the 20 cars piled up behind you closely and unaware of that peripheral sense there is another car right alongside you... for 5-10 minutes. even if there are no other cars or you don't give a fuck, this positioning increases the danger to both of you for various reasons
people do it on sidewalks too
and it goes against basic human psychology. like being in a restroom with 20 empty urinals and a guy walks in and uses the one right next to you
people without this simple perceptual awareness aggravate the hell out of me
so you get bunching, then break out, then bunching, then break out, etc.
cruise control is impossible, and you're always occasionally going 85 mph without noticing
obviously the best solution is to change the fucking speed limit
or give us driverless cars, now. please!
i hate driving, driving sucks. i'm not talking about cinematic back roads, which represent 2% of driving experiences people enjoy... and you can turn automatic driving off then. i'm talking about the drudgery highway crap most of us deal with daily
of all new technological development, most i don't mind missing in my youth
but driverless cars? that, i am extremely jealous of the younger generations
to just nap and wind up at your destination? what a dream
when can we go from slowly transitioning from flash to html5, to actively and aggressively killing flash as a policy initiative coordinated among major websites?
i think a cost/ benefit analysis presentation to the right corner office could get this ball rolling
then china will "discover" an old map that "proves" all of siberia used to be chinese territory, like the bullshit about the filipino islands china is stealing, or the territory it is stealing from india, vietnam, etc... all chinese neighbors are victims of han imperialism
there are 10 chinese for every 1 russian. the chinese economy is soaring while russia is tanking. china needs resources badly. every single russian hinterland town has more chinese than russians already. russia's military simply won't keep up, but military won't even matter. china will take siberia the way the usa took texas from mexico: enough population shift, and it becomes a fait accompli
congratualtions putin: you degraded georgia and ukraine, your slavic brothers, and ignored the far east. russia is the most obvious territory for china to take, not the tiny bits in other directions. despite the historical hesitation from cold war era aggression between the two, siberia will become chinese in this century
all hail outer manchuria, qing glorious chinese state reclaimed from barbarian eluosi ren!
Outer Manchuria (known as Priamurye in Russian)[1] is an unofficial term for the territory formerly claimed by the Qing Empire and now belonging to Russia. Russia officially received this territory by way of the Treaty of Aigun in 1858 and the Treaty of Peking in 1860. The northern part of the area was also in dispute between 1643 and 1689. The area comprises the present-day Russian areas of Primorsky Krai, southern Khabarovsk Krai, the Jewish Autonomous Oblast and Amur Oblast. Another Chinese claim also adds the island of Sakhalin. Currently, the People's Republic of China has no claim to this territory.
According to the Treaty of Nerchinsk in 1689, the China–Russia border was the Stanovoy Mountains and the Argun River, which established Outer Manchuria as a part of Qing dynasty China. After losing the Opium War, a series of treaties were forced upon the Qing dynasty that gave away land and ports to the European powers; these were known as the Unequal Treaties. Starting with the Treaty of Aigun in 1858 and the Treaty of Peking in 1860, the Sino–Russian border was realigned in Russia's favor on the Amur and Ussuri rivers. As a result, China lost Outer Manchuria, as well as access to the Sea of Japan.
Russian newspapers began to publish speculation that between two and five million Chinese migrants actually resided in the Russian Far East, and predicted that half of the population of Russia would be Chinese by 2050.[29][36] Russians typically believe that Chinese come to Russia with the aim of permanent settlement, and even president Vladimir Putin was quoted as saying "If we do not take practical steps to advance the Far East soon, after a few decades, the Russian population will be speaking Chinese, Japanese, and Korean."[37]
Some Russians perceive hostile intent in the Chinese practise of using different names for local cities, such as Hishnwi for Vladivostok, and a widespread folk belief states that the Chinese migrants remember the exact locations of their ancestors' ginseng patches, and seek to reclaim them.[7] The identitarian concern against the Chinese influx is described as less prevalent in the east, where most of the Chinese shuttle trade is actually occurring, than in European Russia.[27]
world governments to USA in public: "we are outraged about the NSA!"
world governments to USA in private: "everything is coming along nicely"
world governments, we-hate-USA-edition, in public: "we are outraged about the NSA!"
world governments, we-hate-USA-edition, in private: "so how soon can we have NSA style abuses to add to our extensive portfolio of abuses?"
americans should complain loudly about the NSA
but the rest of the world, you should clean up your own fucking house, your government is feeding you manufactured NSA outrage as a distraction while it does the same
because there is no balance of power in the workplace without them, and workers will be impoverished without that balance
this is not a theoretical assertion on my point, this is american history: the gilded age and robber barons, the birth of the labor movement because the working class was being fucking shafted
look at jobs without unions benefits, and they pay shit, with shit benefits. that's what you want?
unions indeed introduce a whole new spectrum of abuses, that is true
but i assert to you that whole spectrum of abuses is smaller than the bullshit the plutocrats got away with a hundred years ago, and want to get away with again, because morons like you believe "right to work" propaganda and lies in your ignorance of american history. you want us to learn the painful labor lessons all over again
i never understood conservatives who argue against unions and universal healthcare. unless you are a rich asshole. otherwise, you're basically arguing for your own impoverishment, and are too stupid to understand that. plutocrats call you "useful fools." they buy media channels to keep you adequately outraged over moronic half lies and red herring topics. fed bullshit, kept in the dark, unleashed on the voting booths, outraged over simpleton depictions of complex topics, voting happily for those who work hard to make you poorer so a few of their rich friends can make yet more than they deserve, weakening the american economy overall
yes, the american way of thinking seems to be to desire everyone be a well rounded scholar in a wide range of topics
as an american, this idealistic to an extreme
the usa regularly fails legions of young students. so we're nowhere near the grandiose goal you have pegged as desirable. but, in actuality, is highly improbable except for a tiny fraction of students. such that you're probably failing more students in worse ways than finland or china
perhaps the usa should learn from finland and china, and stop trying to turn everyone into a renaissance man, and teach a fucking skill. yes, some people can and should become great scholars. but others would benefit much greater if you taught them how to just fix a fucking car, how to install electrical wiring, or how an HVAC unit works
you refer to the notion of a flexible society. but a flexible nimble tiny subset has always been the norm, and always will be. the rest get set in their ways, always were set in their ways, and always will be set in their ways, and never had, have, or want to have, the ability to be more flexible
you refer to jobs being made redundant. i don't believe plumber, carpenter, or surveyor have gone out of style since the days of the roman empire, and i don't see robots mixing and hauling concrete at the work site more cheaply any time soon
a skill someone someone can use to fund stable secure lower middle to middle class lives, rather than being english majors asking "do you want fries with that?" seems like a much more laudable and practical goal than what you have outlined
maybe then the son or daughter of the ably and stably employed machinist, raised in a modest, secure household, can become a great poet
the actual fucking topic is a very simple concept to grasp
and i'm just not interested in now in changing the topic and sitting with you and patiently arguing about how awesome and totally cool it is that you stalk me online because of this moronic argument
this is a terribly complex and deep concept that requires extensive hand holding
the popularity of DICSS creates the impression that github is the domain of immature men and teenaged boys, indicating a toxic experience, throughout, for anyone who isn't immature or male
am i piercing the veil of this horribly complicated and thoroughly mystifying idea for you?
good luck! you can do it! you can get it someday, i believe in you!

i think we should roll up paper and put them in tubes and send them around via pipes
they were running your license plate. your car matched a current description of interest to them
you should have rolled down your window and thrown stuff at their windshield. establish dominance
yeah that enrages me
to not be aware of the 20 cars piled up behind you closely and unaware of that peripheral sense there is another car right alongside you... for 5-10 minutes. even if there are no other cars or you don't give a fuck, this positioning increases the danger to both of you for various reasons

when everyone is going well above the speed limit
80% are hovering around 75 mph in a 65 mph zone
except for a few outliers going 60 mph and 90 mph
so you get bunching, then break out, then bunching, then break out, etc.

it's the streisand effect for h bomb technology
so maybe if they just nuked streisand's malibu mansion, censorship backfiring would go away
when can we go from slowly transitioning from flash to html5, to actively and aggressively killing flash as a policy initiative coordinated among major websites?
i think a cost/ benefit analysis presentation to the right corner office could get this ball rolling
exactly
"when it's clear"
this is not the case on the roads where/ when i drive 9-% of the time
there's also the problem of written speed limit versus the actual speed that will get you a ticket
so here in new york the limit might be 65 but i'll drive 75 all the time, not a problem
but if i drive over 80 i can get into trouble
sometimes i'll look down and see i'm going 85, without noticing or thinking about it
so it would help if the system rate limited me at a speed i choose, or automatically adjusted as some function {speed limit}+10/15
russia and europe will exhaust themselves
then china will "discover" an old map that "proves" all of siberia used to be chinese territory, like the bullshit about the filipino islands china is stealing, or the territory it is stealing from india, vietnam, etc... all chinese neighbors are victims of han imperialism
