Jesus fucking Christ.

What's so crazy about that? I wouldn't go as far as blaming the pastor directly but he and others that push "gun free zones" as a solution are bat shit crazy. You have to be some sort of blind idealist to believe that someone with mass murder on their mind is going to do anything but use those zones to their own advantage. Do you REALLY believe that a nut job is going to see a "gun free zone" and turn around and leave?? You can't be that naive, but obviously plenty of people are since they keep voting for them.

If you wanted to kill as many people as you could where would you go? Would you choose somewhere that people might fight back? Or perhaps you'd seek out places that had already disarmed your victims for you like "gun free zones". Virginia Tech, Newtown, Aurora, Columbine, etc, etc, - ignore the evidence if you choose to but it's out there.

Gun-free zones an easy target for killers

Time after time, we see that these killers tell us they pick soft targets. With just two exceptions, from at least 1950, all the mass public shootings have occurred in these gun-free zones. From last summer’s mass public killers in Santa Barbara and Canada, to the Aurora movie theater shooter, these killers made it abundantly clear in their diaries or on Facebook how they avoided targets where people with guns could stop them.

A board member for the National Rifle Association blamed the gun-control position of South Carolina state Sen. Clementa Pinckney, a pastor who was killed in Wednesday night’s shooting at a historic black church in Charleston, for the deaths of his congregation.

"he voted against concealed-carry. Eight of his church members who might be alive if he had expressly allowed members to carry handguns in church are dead,”

That's an odd example for your rant. Your current President was opposed to Gay marriage 10 years ago along with most of the country. Polls show a steady growth of support for it over the last 20+ years, I don't see how that fits in your narrative of everything you care about getting "progressively worse".

Of course maybe you were referring to this portion - "Do I offend you? Fuck you I don't care." - where now it's not enough to live and let live on that very issue but now everyone must wear the ribbon or suffer.

by **Robert J Sakimano** Fri 19 Jun 2015 - 11:26

since Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Glen BecKKK and other representatives of the republican party like to hold Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, Barack Obama, and Eric Holder (wow - they're all black - shocking, I know) responsible with civil unrest in Baltimore, Ferguson, etc., I'm sure they're willing to hold themselves responsible for a white racist murdering 9 black people in church.

Truth. Seems like there's more and more people these days that can't stand differing opinions (which, who cares if they have a different view as long as they're not imposing it on you or anyone else) and working together to find a middle ground. Also seems like our society just rewards being a selfish asshole and that trying to be good to others just gets you exploited by said selfish assholes.

After seeing more than one place tout that clip I watched it and came away with what? I guess he wanted everyone to be impressed that he chose not to do comedy after the murder of 9 innocent people - ok, I'm fine with that and understand that many others would feel the same way. But I must have missed any other deep thoughts in that spiel unless they were written by Jack Handy.

Who denies that racial divides still exist? Straw man.
Are there whites that hate blacks? Yep.
Are there blacks that hate whites? Yep.

OK, now we all agree and the straw man is knocked down. How are you or anyone else going to "solve" that? You're not going to in any kind of a short term fashion. I still say the racial divide is smaller now than it was 30-50 years ago and it'll probably take another 50-100 years to make more progress. In today's instant society people demand solutions that sometimes just aren't possible.

Here's an example of my problem with how things have progressed - gay marriage is legal, but a Mennonite couple not wanting to support gay marriage loses their business over it? Is that really the outcome we all want? Where is the intersection of the right to religious freedom and the right to gay marriage? Couldn't the gay couple just go get married elsewhere? I guess not, they wanted this couple's blood for not toeing the line and they got it. Everyone loses.

Fearing Another Lawsuit, Christian Business Owners Stopped Hosting All Weddings. Now Their Business Is Dead.

Charged with discriminating against a gay couple, the owners of another Christian family-run business are being forced to shut their doors.

“We can’t pretend it’s going to get better,” Betty Odgaard told The Daily Signal in an exclusive interview. “There wasn’t enough business.”

Betty and her husband, Richard, are the owners of Görtz Haus Gallery in Grimes, Iowa.
In 2002, they purchased the 77-year-old stone church and transformed it into a bistro, flower shop, art gallery and wedding venue.

On August 3, 2013, a gay couple from Des Moines asked to rent Görtz Haus for their wedding.

Because of their Mennonite faith, the Odgaards told the couple they could not host their wedding.

Within 24 hours, the couple filed a discrimination complaint through the Iowa Civil Rights Commission.

I'm sure people are dancing in the streets now that this threat to polite society has been nullified.

I have no sympathy for those people. Just like I'd have no sympathy if they didn't allow a couple of two different races to rent their venue. If it were still an operating church, then I'd be okay with them not allowing couples who don't suit the church's religious philosophy to be married in the church. But it's not a church anymore. (Unless I'm misunderstanding and it is, in which case disregard this post.)

I'd equate this to a restaurant owner refusing to rent out a private room for a gay couple's anniversary party because the owner doesn't support gay marriage. Maybe not a perfect analogy, but whatever. Discrimination is discrimination.
