No. 

They played the emotional card after a single grisly event, in order to take away all the guns.

.....
With conspiracy-type documentaries, the narrative is often cleverly devised so that it seems to build on itself throughout the film, making a certain agenda seem more plausible than it actually is. This gives the impression of multiple pieces of information compounding to create a convincing case. Just look at how many people think "Ancient Aliens" is a legitimate factual documentary - people are very easily taken in by the narrative, even though there is basically no evidence whatsoever.

Also, documentaries like this are inherently more biased than any other, because the makers have nothing to lose and everything to gain: A film about a 9/11 cover-up doesn't need to worry about any academic criticism, because they are already telling an alternative story. This gives the director carte blanche to push as shocking/misleading an agenda as possible, subsequently getting more youtube hits, and more money.

It's almost like a "meta-conspiracy"  Wink

Yes, youtube seems to somehow be a fantastically good collaborative assist to conspiracy theories.

Check out the "NASA didn't go to the Moon" stuff.  It's incredibly bad and devoid of critical thinking or reasoning.  Yet many of these videos have 1M+ views.  That's not quite Miley Cyrus view levels (800M) but it's very high.  Yet high school math and physics will easily debunk these.

What I see is typically arguments based on mis stated premises.  For example, assume that the Tower beams had to be melted for the Tower to fall, then proceed to show how jet fuel couldn't have done that.  Anyone who's used a torch to heat up and bend rebar would just shake their heads at this kind of idiotic logic.

But these guys just go on and on about it.

A lot of people have pointed out that a difference between America and the rest of the western world is how many guns we have. But access to guns does not cause sane people to shoot each other. The germane difference between us and the others is that in America we do not care for the mentally ill. Our care for the insane is to watch their lives fall apart until they become homeless, in jail, or dead from a suicide / spree killing.
Then rather than own up to our role in all this we blame... the gun?


Big Pharma is pushing more pills per second than bullet makers in a month...



You may have something there.  If a LOT of pills make everyone a lot quieter and less troublesome to the Authorities, then clearly, if there are some troublemakers remaining, we need additional Pills and Enforcers of the Taking of Pills.

I think we're perfectly able to live on Mars in just 30 years. ...
100-200 years for that is more realistic.

100 years?  Look at all the new technology since 1915.  And we learn more every year than all of history combined.

30-40 years is about enough time to colonize Mars.  We just need to have the collective will to do so.  Like the US in the 1960 to land on the moon.

In 100 years (if we still exist) there will be several million people on Mars.  Mark my words and bookmark this post to show to your great great great grandchildren.


Some things move fast, some move slower. 

I don't think you can substantiate your comments, because you are referencing what technology we have on Earth.  We have almost no technology on Mars, and it really isn't that easy to export basic infrastructure.  Like the refineries, the chemical plants, the power grid, the cities.  Sewer and water systems, farms, on and on.

Please simply explain to me how you'd make a pencil on Mars.

10192  Other / Politics & Society / Re: GAY MEN WANT KIM DAVIS BACK IN JAIL on: October 05, 2015, 01:19:29 PM

Laws should be enforced equally. However they are not.  I live in a commonwealth state.  Some laws and punishments to to be all over the place.  One person nailed with possession of marijuanna on there first offense can get 5 years while someone with the same charge and first offense can get 2 years.  Sentencing and laws seem to be all over the place.  It also goes on how much you have when caught.  Which shouldnt really matter.  Your in possession period.  1 gram or 3 grams it should still be the same.

It should never be about what the prosecuters want.  Thats just a bad idea. Thats opening a door to have them fry someone for whatever they feel they want.

It shouldnt be about what the political parties want either. We all know how that is already going.

What it should be about is what the majority of people want.  All people who would want to vote on laws.  Instead of voting on poloticians.

The law makers themselves in legislature should be bias on what laws are put into effect and what they vote to pass.but you know as well as I do.  That everyone has there opinion and that is what persuades a vote for law.  Its like being on jury duty.  12 people are supose to be unbias but everyone always has there own thoughts and opinions.  

Laws arent much different.  People (lawmakers) can and i am sure do use there own opinions to pass laws.

It should be about what us the people want and not what parties want or feel we the people should have.  I know there are many laws in place that I never voted for nor do I want them.

Well, you see....we are pretty much in agreement on ALL OF THAT.  Now comes the difficult part.
*****

THE PRIVATE ISSUE:
Someone has a moral and ethical disagreement with a law, and is willing to stand up against it, in spite of possibly grave personal consequences (jail, public ridicule, etc).

HERO OR VILLAIN?
I say, as long as it's a non-violent protest, HERO.
That goes for MARIHUANA, IMMIGRATION, MARRIAGE.  And countless other issues.

THE PUBLIC ISSUE:
Public officials have a moral and ethical disagreement with a law (for now let's say it that way, the reality is often they are pushed in a direction by political pressures) and they enforce law selectively, and choose whom to punish selectively.

HERO OR VILLAIN?
I say VILLAIN.  
That goes for MARIHUANA, IMMIGRATION, MARRIAGE.  And countless other issues.


So you do support standing up against unjust laws like refusing to let gays marry, as long as it's someone who can't actually do anything about it.
It makes no difference what I think.  

I am only trying to clarify the underlying and substantive issue, because I don't care one rat's ass about you spewing polemic about some evil Republican religious knuckled dragging degenerates because you, sir, are no exemplary example of Enlightened and Progressive Humans, at least judging from past posts.  You are not the one standing up against anything, but simply coming along behind those who have done so, babbling, one voice in an ocean of babboons, one might say.

Let's here what your votes are on the two issues cited.

I just found it amusing that you claim to only support non violent protests, yet this whole thing started because a certain group of people were using threat of force via laws to oppress a minority. But that's okay because blargh state's rights urgh, plus your invisible sky god said so. Speaking of insanity.

Yet a bigger bully comes along and does the same thing and it's suddenly a problem.

Why can't the religious folk stick to non violent protests? I'd be okay with that too.
Between me and you, you are the ONLY ONE blabbing about "states rights" and "invisible sky god".
10193  Other / Politics & Society / Re: What's your opinion of gun control? on: October 04, 2015, 11:36:32 PM
I am so happy that these UT students have found a solution to the problem that happened to them before.  With their "Gun Free Zone" it will obviously never happen again because people like Whitman will see the Gun Free Zone Signs and go somewhere else.

In the early morning hours of August 1, 1966, Whitman murdered his wife and mother in their homes. Later that day, he brought a number of guns, including rifles, a shotgun, and handguns, to the campus of the University of Texas at Austin where, over an approximate 90 to 95 minute period, he killed 14 people and wounded 32 others in a mass shooting in and around the Tower. Whitman shot and killed three people inside the university's tower and eleven others after firing at random from the 28th-floor observation deck of the Main Building.

PS.

Because of the recent discussion about psychoactive drugs and mass murderers I add an addendum.

Whitman had been prescribed Valium, but in addition he had a brain tumor that may have pressed against the amygdala region.  It is impossible to prove that the tumor was the cause of his actions, but it is certainly plausible.  Hence in this particular case the man when to docs and a shrink because we was worried about an increasing violent nature, and they prescribed Valium. 

So where is the cause and the effect?
10194  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Causes of Mass shootings, suicides + - Many of them are on psychotropic drugs on: October 04, 2015, 11:19:51 PM
I can't fight them personally. But it seems to me that when most of these killings show up, they're on these psychotropic drugs, it's worth looking into prescribing less drugs and seeing if the rage in our population dies down rather than taking the guns of people who pass background checks and do things legally. ...
Because it is about control.

The government is trying to control the population, scaring them saying there's too many shootings so we need to ban guns, so they can control us more when people give them up. However, I think it's sad, that most people are blaming the wrong thing, (the guns) instead of looking at curing the problem in this country.
But if religion is passe as the opiate of the people, what the hell is your problem with opiate being the opiate of the people?

Plus guns make a loud bang.  And those black rifles are scary.  Because they're black.

10199  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Flaws in Polling Data Exposed as U.S. Campaign Season Heats Up on: October 04, 2015, 05:41:37 PM
Polls for the 2016 U.S. presidential race have been defying all expectations: Donald Trump as the persistent Republican frontrunner even as he insults large swaths of the country and brushes off policy questions; Hillary Clinton haunted by an email controversy Democrats shrug off while a Vermont socialist keeps gaining on her.

Are the polls correct? While that is hardly a new question, doubts are intensifying after a series of high-profile misfires around the world in the past year, notably in Greece, Israel and the UK. As politics and business lean increasingly on surveys and data, technological and social shifts are combining to challenge polls’ reliability in an entirely new way. Polling professionals have no solution; investors are wary.

"There isn’t a pollster out there who thinks about this seriously who isn’t a little bit uneasy," said Kirby Goidel, editor of the book "Political Polling in the Digital Age." Interviews with more than a dozen pollsters in the U.S. and around the world revealed similar anxiety.

Brad Schruder, a director of foreign exchange at Bank of Montreal, said what many in the investment world have been thinking: "It makes you wonder, how much weight should we attach to these polls?"

...http://www.bloomberg.com/politics/articles/2015-09-29/flaws-in-polling-data-exposed-as-u-s-campaign-season-heats-up
Look, our boys spent big bucks on rigging those polls.  We paid off the right people, and blackmailed the others.  Now you are telling me that was a waste of time and we can't barrage the chumps with our made up stories?

I mean, let's get real here.  We worked that Obama puppet since he was in college, and he's working out just fine.  We got twenty years invested in JebHillary, in fact I'll let you in on a little secret.  It's the same person, actually, underneath the Jeb and Hillary masks.   He's a guy we picked off the street in San Francisco, we pay him with bottles of Sangria. 

Damnation.  All that work for nothing, you say?  How are we supposed to run the world then?
