Just a friendly, preemptive reminder to keep this debate friendly. I'm sure you two will, but given this being the Rants thread, and the current state of politics in your country, I'm concerned tempers might flare. This is just me making sure you're aware of that. |

"I believe that the human spirit is indomitable. If you endeavor to achieve, it will happen given enough resolve. It may not be immediate, and often your greater dreams is something you will not achieve within your own lifetime. The effort you put forth to anything transcends yourself, for there is no futility even in death." — Monty Oum | |

This is why I vote third party on principle. So far this century, we had a Republican president serve two terms, followed by a Democrat president serving two terms. Can't really say I liked what either one has done. Though it could be just part of how the whole world seems to be going to Hell in a hand basket, in a rocket assisted fashion. You know what, maybe I should become a mad scientist and take over the world. Well, temporarily, because I don't really want to be a political leader. Just long enough to force national governments to get their shit together... Oh, wait, damn it, I'd have to achieve immortality for that one... EDIT: You know what, on second thought, I'd rather just move up to the mountains and get a hammock. Edited by Alkarii, May 8 2016, 11:30 AM.

I don't know all the details yet. My brother-in-law was on his motorcycle,and was hit by a vehicle. I don't know what kind. Dad said the ambulance was already there. Based on what I heard, dad was driving by and saw him. He turned around, woke up mom, and had her go to my sister's house to tell her what happened. UPDATE: I misunderstood my dad earlier. The ambulance wasn't already there, and my brother-in-law was lying in the middle of the road. A minivan in the oncoming lane turned left in front of him, violating his right of way.

Yeah, and the fucked up part is the damn president blames guns for this crap, and that radical Islam had nothing to do with it. Worthless prick... Oh, and some New York based magazine said that the whole thing is the NRA's fault. In spite of the fact that the shooter called the cops himself and swore allegiance to ISIS. No wonder why conservatives are seen as paranoid. |

You're telling me. What really gets me is this: - The shooter was born and raised here; he was also a registered democrat. - New information has come to light suggesting that this man may have been gay himself or struggling with homosexual desire, which could further explain just sheer cruelty in which he executed this act. - The weapon he used is the Sig Sauer MCX, and not the ever-parroted AR-15 bogeyman the media keep trying to push. - This idea that he was a crazy person who did this on a whim is balderdash; he was not only looking to case this place, he apparently cased Walt Disney World and a couple of other places before picking the Pulse nightclub. He acquired a suicide vest and an explosive backpack in additon to his firearm. He planned this for weeks and hunted those poor people down like trapped rats. Given he is clearly a jihadist sympathizer, he likely saw his association with Pulse as a source of shame to him... and that's why he killed so many. I suspect he truly thought, in his twisted ideology, that he was somehow 'redeeming' himself. It gets even better... somehow, according to an attorney for the ACLU... this is all the fault of... wait for it...*Christians* (I wish I was making this up, as ludicrous as it sounds). Yeah, Christians! Because true, Bible-believing Christians totally read the koran and practice violent honor killings and perform acts of brutality and death on everyone, right? */sarcasm* I have to say, as a conservative myself, I am getting mighty tired of being made the punching bag for this kind of despicable trash. The real problems are certainly not Christians and guns; the problem is that this guy is a homegrown radical jihadist and a feckless leadership in BOTH parties (with an exceptional few) willing to acknowledge the enemy for who they are. Newer information is coming to light suggesting that his dad was a Taliban sympathizer and that this murderer was radicalized by an imam that was released from prison after being in the employ of the "Blind Sheik", Omar Abdel-Rahman. Yeah, the same one behind the 1993 bombing of the first World Trade Center. Trying to control my anger, but I am about ready to put a steel-toed boot to the throat of ISIS and all its enablers and sympathizers. They are truly some of the worst human beings to walk the planet with the blood of thousands of my Christian brother and sisters, Yazidis, Muslims and other ethnic and faith groups on their hands. They are a cancer on humanity, and they should be excised without mercy or pity, as they have shown none to anybody. Honestly? We need to treat them like the Marines treated the Japanese during WW2, and not for being merely what they are, but because of HOW THE ROTTEN BASTARDS FIGHT - attacking unarmed civilians like cowards for their own self-centered "honor and glory". How many more have to die before this is put to an end?

I couldn't sleep last night. If I go to work, I will have been awake for 33 hours by the time I get off. I also have to move vehicles in a cramped parking lot. Not good. |

Okay, I don't want to sound paranoid or alarmist, but something I'd seen online regarding the Orlando shooting seemed a bit odd, so I did a couple searches. The first was the allegation that the shooter's father is a CIA asset. The second allegation I searched was G4s ties to other mass shootings. Both got a good number of results, and were from a bunch of different websites. The only one I actually looked at suggested a possibility that this was a false flag operation. Even if that isn't the case, something is very wrong about the whole thing. (Although, the suggestion that a "flaky security guard" with no military training or background shouldn't have been able to do this is a bit off. I could get the same results with JUST my handgun.)
