People like this encourage the likes of Dear. They deal in fear, hatred and ignorance. And I’m sure they’re very, very proud of themselves.

I’d like him to put his face in the way of my fist.

There's a clinic about 2 minutes from my house and I shake my head t there's nutjobs out there at 6AM when the clinic is closed They pace on the sidewalk, hang baby clothes the trees, say rosaries while staring at an empty building. This morning the Knights of Columbus were out there with a banner, there's another…

He ain’t perfect, he could have chosen to define the narrative with a harsher edge, but, the man never panicked, never lost his cool, never lowered himself to level of the filth that had such a hard on to take him.down. We are going to miss this man and his no drama Obama when the next impulsive maniac occupies the…

Yes, ordinary violent crime has dropped a LOT, something I often point out to the people who insist that porn causes rape, even though rape is more of a problem in countries that restrict or ban it.

I think Obama has brought out racism and mental instability in these man children, from pundits and politicians all the way down to the nobody in the picture, like no black man who hasn’t been murdered has ever done.

I feel like street smarts keep me out of those kinds of situations. It’s the random, homicidal violence that frightens me - is the next guy I talk to going to execute me with his gun because I didn’t answer him fast enough when he said ‘look like rain huh?’

It has gotten worse. I lived in Australia for a time and came back to the States and seriously, I don’t understand what has happened. I go to Europe usually once a year, my wife and I were in the UK and France just recently before the attacks in Paris, and everyone at home keeps saying “aren’t you worried? Will you…

I never want to go back and live in medium city Ohio. I feel like these people go decades getting more deranged, because nothing sets them off or filters them out beforehand - big progressive cities tend to make it so people like this guy can’t survive (their asshole nature is tested and exposed, and they can’t exist…

Progressive thinking has been allowed out of the shadows and the whipsers, and so hateful positions and thinking are getting backed into a corner. We’re seeing people who were always awful, begin to get fearful and dangerous because they’re starting to comprehend that their hateful way of thinking isn’t the status quo.

That mass shootings have become a nearly every day occurrence, so common that they seldom get news time outside their locale.

There’s a general war on civil rights in the States - women being hit the hardest, but it affects everyone - and I think the drastic uptick in public mass shootings is also freaking out a lot of people. Crime overall is down, but this particular crime is up. And it’s a pretty terrifying crime.

You should leave and come over to the cold side (Canada that is). The more the merrier!

It’s like that, only people say “motherfucker” more.

Dear Americans who still live there: has it gotten worse? Coz I live elsewhere and it sure seems like it, from everything I read. I feel like we’re 2 steps from public dueling becoming a thing again. For all its fusty sclerosis, Europe is gonna be where I stay, I think-I’m not the fittest, and I’m certainly not going…

Considering you need to be licensed and trained to use any of the vehicles you listed, I’d rather take my chances with them rather than some armed nutjob who can go and get a gun with neither.

It’s quite telling about our society in the US, when you can be more scared of the people living in it, then the people outside it who actually want us dead. (I know we aren’t the only country, but I can speak only for where I live)

None of those things are quite as efficient and effective at killing. Like, it only takes a second to pull out a gun and put a bullet in someone’s brain.

When I picture the states I like to picture it as the set of Deadwood.

It's really a terrible place. It could be great, but for where the right wing has steered us off course.
