    _@ Gilgamush and Yurimon

    _How does mocking tragedies make a positive difference_

    Nobody here, especially me, is mocking the tragedy. What you are witnessing is the incredulity and exasperation, manifesting itself as ridicule, for the common chants often heard from US citizens in support of their glorious (or not so glorious) country.

    It is beyond mine (and I suspect a lot of others) understanding how you could possibly be pro gun with the constant and tragic daily reminders that the US, uniquely, has a huge problem. As I'm in the UK this is to a certain extent, a geographical and cultural thing which, I readily admit, I do not fully understand.

    Comparing a gun death to a car accident or a disease is rediculous and offensive. Surely you can see that a vehicle death is an entirely different occurrence. A guns sole purpose is to efficiently deliver terror, destruction and death. That is all. Nothing more.

    Because a guns purpose is so pure It seems to me that severely controlling or banning them would have an immediate and positive effect. How could it not? And those that will bang on about 'rights' should realise times have changed and maybe 'principles' are adding to the ever increasing death toll.

    • Coming from a rural area i see guns used quite regularly for recreation and sport. They don't bug me. Neither does people killing people. Wether gun or sword.deathboy
    • Actually sometimes u get people shooting across a trail, and i stop and wait until i can get their attention. A lill annoynace but sound keeps big cats awaydeathboy
    • It has it roots in ancient UK common law. if you like i'll get you a name of a book if you want to at least to understand. I understand your frame of mindyurimon
    • because used to think the same thing, but like anything else its not a clear cut issue. i took alot of time to study law and came to respect what it is,yurimon
    • death stats are death stats. reason i bring it up because there is certain bias in people which is primal and can be easily politically exploited.yurimon
    • EVery country has its culture and patriotic views. How would English react if you told them to give up fox hunting or give Falkland islands back to Argentina?youngdesigner
    • well true but there is a reason its called a right. and why it was but behind freedom of speech. its not to be taken lightly, i personally not fan and myyurimon
    • wishful utopian world peace dreams kick in, but i was wrong about alot of things because majority of our ideas are cultural hearsay. what ever you feel, best toyurimon
    • be determined through research, in which i was surprised. its a journey and im always on, and destroying fake ideas that the ego brings on,yurimon
    • Well said Morning_monospaced
    • haha mono cracks me up. he says he doesnt completely understand and gave his opinion absent of the understanding. which is honest n all good. mono lol.yurimon
    • mono, when you going to stop being a tool broh.yurimon
    • i appreciate your response ill post something for more opinions.yurimon
    • you must have me confused with someone else.monospaced
    • I'm not Morning_Starmonospaced
    • dont worry didnt mistake. just your response i found funny.yurimon
    • Now I see that you were referring to Morningstar and not me. I felt his post was put despite his admitted lack of understanding.monospaced
    • And at the same time a huge part of our own people are having a hard time understanding the current state of things because it's gotten so ridiculous.monospaced
    • I know the history just like you and why this right is so important. Yet I agree here that comparing gun deaths to auto accidents is not really productive.monospaced
    • well if you share the same personal opinion its understandable. only thing we have is stats n if they are true.yurimon
    • I'm not here trying to have the same old circular discussion. We've done that already. I was simply giving Morningstar a nod, you took it personally. Sorry.monospaced
    • Carry on with your 50+ side comment marathons. Pretend I'm not here.monospaced
    • there is no excuse for ridiculing the murder of innocent people. it's despicable behaviorgilgamush
    • Well said mono.pango
    • <add to feed>O0O0O0
    • lol pango, another one. It is comparative because it has one thing in common. death. the psychological factor of how you react to one over the other is mindyurimon
    • boggling to me once you understand the political environment your in and how you are emotionally exploited.yurimon
    • and mono, its all of your personal opinion by the way. this is the most emotion, iv seen morning star in his posts. no taken personal by the way.yurimon
    • if you want to be productive lets get to the nitty gritty.yurimon
    • Blog me once shame on me, blog me twice...
      The point is that you shouldn't brog people.
      O0O0O0
    • lol just trying to see if i can trigger as much reply. hmm quite a few. but not as much. :Ppango

      gilgamush
    • Apologies to you Gilgamush, It appears I had wrongly credited you with some intelligence.Morning_star
    • that's nice, keep up with the paragraphs of excuses that fail to justify the obviously morally bankrupt behavior. you yourself admit that you don't understand wgilgamush
    • what is going on over here so a little word to the not so wise, keep your stupid fucking mouth shut if all you have to say about somebody else's tragedy isgilgamush
    • mockery and ridicule. be a decent human being, try it on, it feels good, you will like itgilgamush

    • Do you behave like a twelve year old in everyday life as wellgilgamush
    • Only when I'm talking to an eleven years old!pango
    • It keeps me sane. I would have gone crazy is I'm serious about everything I'm serious about.pango
    • So murder isn't one of those things you are serious about then huhgilgamush
    • pango, thats not sane either. oh well.yurimon
    • I don't murder. Ya not what I'm not serious about.
      Yurimon. How are you to judge who's sane when you can't be sure what sane is?
      pango
    • so when somebody gets murdered do you think it's all right to sneer and ridicule. obviously not, even a twelve year old knows that pango, don't play that gamegilgamush
    • Ridicul the victim or the offender or the situation?pango
    • Please quote the qoobs who has ridicul the victim.pango
    • Murder is not a game! You should know better!pango
    • the situation is that when someone gets murdered in the u.s. by a gun these depraved fucks come on here and laugh about it because they think guns are bad.gilgamush
    • callow and heartless bunch of sick fucks so lost in their vindictive hatefulness for middle america that they think this shit is funnygilgamush
    • and you pango, you are the court jester babbling nonsense like a shallow simpleton, the comic relief you try to provide is inappropriate right nowgilgamush
    • Are they criticising the situation or the victim? You should tell everyone to stop raping you. It might work.pango
    • Basic human decency is a big joke to you huhgilgamush
    • And the problem is not criticism pango, the problem is ridicule. It's inappropriate, just like your weak attempts at humor on the subjectgilgamush
    • i mean common, this is pango.

    • @youngdesigner - fox hunting is banned in the UK.fadein11
