When the goal is to scare people and incite hate of course they’re going to present a big picture and ignore causal factors. Goebells 101. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Springfield Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 (edited) Yeah, thanks for doing nothing assholes. Maybe if you just thought a little harder and prayed a little longer then she wouldn’t have committed suicide. Of course your deity probably views people who kill themselves as weak so you don’t care. Edited March 22, 2019 by Springfield 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Springfield Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 The most recent “This American Life” - Beware the Jabberwookie or something. Touches on the constant barrage of truthers that the victims of mass murder face. It’s terrible the things that get said to these people. Mostly inspired by people like Alex Jones, Sean Hannity and the like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Excuses Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 23 hours ago, visionary said: Only in America, and more specifically because of the GOP, we would do pretty much nothing in response to an event that would have called for immediate action everywhere else in the developed world. The blood of countless children is on the hands of those who block both sensible gun laws, while simultaneously inhibiting and even defunding healthcare access. 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

purbeast Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 Wow. A whole day has gone by and I haven't heard a peep about this until just clicking on this thread. It's sad that these are so common now a days that when they happen it's no big deal anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
