What part of "you are not being engaged, just verbally slapped on the nose with a rolled up newspaper like a dog that shat on the carpet" is confusing you? No one is playing along with your idiotic strawmen about mass gun confiscations, now get to work on the fucking off.

We're not having a conversation or trading points, you are just staggering in to a conversation about a bunch of injured kids to bleat about your political soapbox and are being told to fuck off. Get to work on that, Cletus.

I was in Valparaiso high school during their similar "slashing" incident in 2004, and I always think the same thing. People suffering from mental illness (or plain malice) will find a way to hurt others, but if you can limit their choice of weapons, you can save so many lives...

It's pretty clear throughout this entire thread that the bias is yours. Your "faults" with the comparison are thinner than rice paper, and it's not my job to educate you.

So you're just going to ignore the fact that the reason no one is dead is because the kid had a knife instead of a gun? Ok, then.

It's not an unfair comparison at all. I think you'd just prefer to view it so as a thin excuse to ignore my point.

Australia. Unfortunately it took the Port Arthur massacre - in which thirty five people were murdered by just one man - to spur a change in gun politics here.

The gun culture is what really worries me. I'm not anti-gun, but I don't like the way we treat guns in this country. They can be a hobby, they can be a sport... But first and foremost they are still deadly weapons and should be treated as such.

Pro gun or not, in countries that limit access to guns, there is less homicide ( per capita ) than the US.

So... don't be thankful that people weren't killed? I don't understand the point you're trying to make.

Uh... do you have anything to back that up? 'Cause I'm pretty sure that's not true.

100% this.

Yep, it's based on income and also can be very hard to change once set. I dated a guy who was unemployed and in the hospital when he and his ex split. She probably could've taken him to court and sued, but instead they reached an agreement out of court that was presided over by lawyers that he would pay 200$ a month.…

I thought child support is based on the non custodial parent's income.

I reserve the right to judge people of any age who espouse Ayn Rand. I read Atlas Shrugged when I was 16 and recognized it as terribly written bullshit. It's a stupid belief system for stupid people.

I LOVE him. He should be in everything!

May I suggest a replacement, Dodai? My imaginary boyfriend Jack Huston.

I know, right? Every word of this is dead on. It's even the same way I would have put it in about 99% of the piece. Painfully accurate.

The heart wants what it wants.

I don't blame you entirely Depp. I blame a society that thinks that tattooing means you are subversive regardless of how rich and annoying you really are.
