downzy Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 1 hour ago, lame ass security said: Neil Degrasse Tyson wants to know also. It's strange how individuals who were once considered "rational," who then are accused of sexual assault by multiple women, later become mindless zombies for the radical-right-wing fringe. Now we have Neil deGrass Tyson, a man accused by four women of sexual harassment (or worse), bemoaning how people get caught up on gun violence when cars and medical malpractice kills more. The fragility of the male ego is easily the most destructive force on this planet, bar none. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curious minds would like to know. . . You forgot to mention that cats and dogs also die We all are going to die sooner or later, one way o another. This is not the issue. We are talking about people who have been massacred. We are talking about the deadly combination of metally ill people and weapons And you are like "who cares? We are all going to die anyway.

moreblack Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 (edited) Should a foreigner have business commenting on affairs of another country though?

DieselDaisy Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 Reading his manifesto, a lot of it is quite leftist, Quote People who are hypocrites because they support imperialistic wars that have caused the loss of tens ofthousands of American lives and untold numbers of civilian lives Quote The decimation of the environment is creating a massive burden for future generations. Corporations are heaing the destruction of our environment by shamelessly over harvesting resources. This has been a problem for decades. There is a lot blaming ''corporations'': ''corporate America doesn’t need to be destroyed, but just shown that they are on the wrong side of history''. But yes, much of it is directed at ''Hispanics''. It ends with an anti-miscegenation and social-Darwinism tirade before preempting the type of conversations people are having now, Quote My opinions on automation, immigration, and the rest predate Trump and his campaign for president. I putting this here because some people will blame the President or certain presidential candidates for the attack. This is not the case. I know that the media will probably call me a white supremacist anyway and blame Trump’s rhetoric. The media is infamous for fake news. Their reaction to this attack will likely just confirm that. Waste of 10 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same goes for hard drugs. It's banned practically everywhere, yet it is a business worth millions. The thing to do, is pro-active research. Give more tools to the authorities to find people like him. Allow for jailing these people before they committed their attacks. This guy apparently was active on extremist platforms like 8chan. Why wasn't he followed more, why wasn't he already in jail or the asylum? Many lives would have been saved. In this time of social media, and easy spreading of extremist views (which in turn inspires other extremists to go further with their plans), there is no other option but to severely give up our privacy and liberties. I'm not saying this is "good" or "desireable". It is unpopular and totalitarian. But if we want to control these lunatics, before they commit their attacks, then it is the logical solution.

Len Cnut Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 Y'know, there's one thing they never explain in their manifestos and thats how offing a fuckload of people helps. We're fuckin' up the envoirnment, corporations are running wild etc etc, it occurs to me that these things, fundamentally, are to do with the preservation of the human race. We want the envoirnment looked after, why, cuz if it fucks up the world gets fucked and a lot of people die. Corporations in power is like a rich get richer, poor get poorer thing, its about NOT wanting to see people get fucked up...so how in all this is the remedy percieved to be shooting a load of people, isn't that just expediating the process? Its all just posturing bullshit, they're just a bunch of pussies that can't handle the realities of life so they just decide to take it out on easy victims while they masquerade as these people with a cause. If you're fuckin' burned by the injustices of life go join the fuckin' peace corps or volunteer at a soup kitchen or something. 'OMG, there's hispanics everywhere!', who gives a flying shit...'this is the last generation of white babies', y'know what, I wouldn't give a flying fuck if, tommorow, someone told me that every last racial variation was coming to an end and everybody was gonna fuck everybody else and the next generation were gonna be indo-afro-oriental-caucasio-hispanio fuckin' hybrids. Wouldn't bother me a lick. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, you’re confusing tolerance as an ideal that should be applied to all points of view. Efforts should be made by all to be tolerant of everyone’s point of view, save for those opinions that are inherently intolerant. “Be tolerant of my intolerance” just won’t fly around here. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
