It is funny.. this thread. It exposes many things about many people posting in CEP.

I will leave it at that.

almost (not quite) as obnoxious as "I called it"

sort of a junior "i called it"

the wonderful part of "i called it" is not the absurdity of a thread stating for all hear that the author nailed it - was correct - high five city - i'm the bestest

it is that he's patting himself on the back and is wrong

LOL

Rareboy & Bankside are 2 Canadian Jubers always on the Outside looking in & FOREVER Bashing & Running their mouths about our Country. The President met with MSNBC Producers and Commentators to make sure the discussions about Guns (and many other issues) would continue. MSNBC is keeping it front & center 7 days a week all day. American Jubers know the gun Control issue is still a Hot Topic because we Live here but Stone Throwers that don't live here are stuck on cluelessness...

And have you noticed how Rareboy & Bankside havent said ONE freaking word about the Shootings and Stabbing on New years day in Toronto? But they will WAIL on America till their hearts content....It's their usual tag-team event here...




Amen...But please don't encourage anyone to move back to The States when they say such negative things about our Country...

Romney had a degree from Harvard too! I suppose him being the 2012 Republican nominee had nothing to do with the right. LOL

I dont have the time to look it up for you but feel free to look into how many billionaires went to Harvard and paid for the party you call home?

I'm sure that it would go over most "east coast educated" (even if they only went to a local community college) head, if I were to suggest that "education" has nothing to do with it.

It's when Madison Avenue in New York started selling: marketing candidates/legislation/party platforms and positions like tooth paste, cars, and erectile dysfunction when American Politics in our lifetime began to change.

We have some of the same CE&P members posting here.

The same who went to those schools, and who now work in that industry.

While the rest of us fight the same very people who think that they're above the rest of us, because they went to some "East Coast College" and think that they know better.

And are the first ones to go all "conservative" when they think that if they can just make it financially above the rest of us things will get better.

Only a fool or a liberal would welcome such a tradeoff. Although that's probably redundant, given that the one is most likely a subset of the other, although I'm not quite sure which.

Well, that's how they describe themselves.

The Harvard Journal of Law & Public Policy is ... the nation’s leading forum for conservative and libertarian legal scholarship.

http://www.harvard-jlpp.com/about/


They are a sister-organisation to The Federalist Society:

an organization of conservatives and libertarians seeking reform of the current American legal system in accordance with a textualist or originalist interpretation of the U.S. Constitution.

It would seem that, if I am delusional, then so are they!

^ And in the heat of the moment you know he would have shot others in his rage, if not killed himself by the time it was all over. There's no need to marginalize what this heroic teacher did. Without a gun.

Original topic: though Rareboy retracted the thought that there is no news coverage about guns lately, he was still right in one sense. The idea of actually having an effective mental health-care system has indeed flown out the window. Nobody is talking about that anymore.

[rareboy]

At the end of the day, there will only be platitudes about the culture of violence and how people need to watch less violence.

But there will still be the same type and number of violent movies and video games made and marketed and sold and watched.

There will be platitudes about the failure of the mental health system but no one will approve one more dollar to do anything about it.

There will be the usual loud noises about the need to restrict or ban certain weapons, but Walmart and the NRA and the vocal pro-gun base will rule the day and there will be no change made. There will still be gun shows and 40% of firearms being sold in the US without background checks.

And even this thread will be a good demonstration of how the conversation will swing around to 'How Dare You Criticize The US', or instead of addressing the actual challenges and issues at hand. Some here also think there is some kind of border between the US and Canada. I don't see this as a US problem. I see this as a North American problem. The failure of one part of this geographically and socially collective society to find solutions to the issues of gun violence affects us all. For instance, most gang gun crime in Canada is committed with illegal weapons...obtained...you guessed it. Somewhere else.

But let's see where this goes.

It took you years to finally admit that JUB started in Canada. I remember you denying it outright, even when moderators told you so, going on and on with a "So? Prove it!" attitude. I remember you finally decided you must be right because you were a JUB supporter and I was not, as if that somehow changes the facts of reality. But as of today's date, it looks like you're a basic member and I'm paid up. You're making exactly as much sense in this thread about gun rights as you did in the thread about where JUB came from.

If you want a pat on the back for all the great things that the US has done, start a thread on it. But people start threads about problems, not successes. And since most American members of this site are unwilling or unable to discuss international issues (with several clear exceptions) that means we all end up bitching about America's problems.

So it's not anti-Americanism, it's just what people end up talking about. And if you want to reinvent the wheel instead of learning from how other countries solved problems years ago, like gun violence, like equal rights for gays, like health care, then you can add "inventing the wheel" to the long list of your smart ideas, but drop the whine about anti-Americanism.

[frankfrank]

He should. It's proven to work in Europe. And by the way, China as well. They may have a ton of problems on all conceivable levels, but gun deaths really aren't among those.

Places with gun control have > 0 violence and < gun deaths than in America. That's an embarrassingly simple concept and my heart bleeds every time a right winger on here mangles it.

It would be interesting to know how old the gun control laws are in these countries, and how prevalent guns were before the laws existed (or when they were less restrictive).

Gun control in the USA would have worked fine 100 years ago, but now it's far too late.

However, certain aspects of gun control - such as mandatory background checks on all sales, especially with computerized databases being so accessible - do not go against the phrase "well regulated militia." Restrictions on certain types of weapons don't go against that, either, as I see it.

Of course there's always the conundrum that this type of weaponry is readily available from criminal enterprises.

And HOW MANY millions of drones does the U. S. have on-the-ready, just in case they decide that selective warfare on (some) civilians is justified?

And it has been proven, over and over, that some of these other countries truly ARE more free. I entirely respect the opinions of those who are not within our borders, such as Rareboy and ChickenGuy, for whom finding out enough about the United States to be able to comment as they do, is considerably more work than if they lived here. These specific two people (and MANY others!!) fully know what "America" is capable of, and they rightfully discuss how this country has departed from all of that in ways that are often dangerous.
