When my grandmother was born, women didn't have the right to vote. When my parents went to high school, they were still segregated. Women and people of color have been widely regarded as inferior for CENTURIES, relegated to slaves and servants, robbed of the power to control their own destinies. And you are whining about manspreading? Here is victim mentality at its finest. You poor precious snowflake.

Look, I can't be responsible for people who are "lost and feeling adrift". These discussions are getting ridiculous, and bordering on asinine.

So when there is a "terrorist" attack by a Muslim, do you not make comments because the discussions about them are "getting ridiculous, and bordering on asinine."? Somehow, I doubt it.

Terrorism is, in the broadest sense, the use of intentionally indiscriminate violence as a means to create terror among masses of people; or fear to achieve a financial, political, religious or ideological aim.

I don't believe a school shooter (yet) is setting out to do that. They're setting out for notoriety or they're just plain insane. They may write rantings, but are they political? Not that I can remember. Are they grouped together and acting in concert, one after another? Not that I can remember.

You highlighted the wrong clause. Let me fix that for you:

They are terrorists.

So that's a no then. Exactly what I thought.

White killer = mentally ill
Muslim killer = terrorist

No, you can't. Which is why we need gun control.

I'll control my guns. Don't make me responsible for another person's bad actions. I do not inherit their guilt.

No, you don't inherit their guilt because not all gun owners are prosecuted when one commits a crime. But laws can be used to address collective action problems. Why do we outlaw cocaine? Because some people have a hard time controlling themselves and become a danger and/or burden society because they can't use it responsibly. It appears that guns are the similar in this way. And, of course, some people still use illegal drugs. But their is much, much less use than if you could grab a line from the local Walgreens on your way home from work.

If posters can blame the black community and the muslim community, why can't other posters blame the white community for this? Do blacks inherit the guilt of other blacks? Do Muslims inherit the guilt of other muslims? And yet conservatives have no problem assigning it.
