Removed by mod

so funny now do me

Hypothetically, how would that benefit me?

Better question, why did our lovely mods remove it?

120 guns per American (ie per capita) vs 26 guns per Swiss??

According to TFA:

Roughly 3-in-10 citizens in both Switzerland and the United States own guns

So the number of owners is similar, which is probably more meaningful than the absolute number of guns.

So, normal people having a bad day. We must aggressively treat people having bad days, even if they don’t consent to treatment, because normies are a violent threat to public safety.

Less ironically, I don’t agree with your distinction. When people say that “mental issues” cause people to shoot up a school, I think they are talking about serious psychological disorders, not a transient state of mind that might happen to anyone. They are unconsciously looking for an “other” to blame.

This would be more meaningful if the type of person posting it wasn’t doing the exact same thing with the parties reversed. Why is it so terrifying for people to have a modicum of compassion and empathy for all sentient life, or if not that at least human life. Having compassion and empathy is not endorsement, is not supporting their cause, does not reduce you.

Please unpack the irony. I’m old, I am no longer fluent in multiply-stacked layers of disingenuity.

You believe that Charlie is wrong about empathy. But you emulate Charlie. Question: What the fuck?

You’re just another Charlie of a slightly different ilk. You have to consciously try to learn the right lessons from bad experiences, or you’ll become a bad person.

So this is you practicing empathy, I suppose.

How quickly you retreat to sophistry. I said what I meant. Everyone can see it right there, you cannot twist it, no matter how you try. The vast majority of murders and other violent acts are committed by people who are not dealing with any mental disabilities. Contrarily, people with mental disabilities commit violence far less than the general population. When you said, “People with mental health issues shoot up schools,” you might have merely been speaking imprecisely, but then you doubled down on it. I suggest you do some research on the subject before you stigmatize mental illness again.

That’s a legislative issue, not something the CBSA has authority over.

That’s wildly optimistic.

In 2024, years after his disbarment from practicing law, as well as his notoriety with gamers fading with the passage of time, Jack Thompson had appeared to have denounced his disdain for video games. On an interview with the My Perfect Console podcast, Thompson praised video games for helping out disabled people with their interactive nature.[50][51][52][53][54][55]

WELL AINT THAT SOME SHIT

We all knew it was performative.

Jack Thompson? Haven’t heard much since he got disbarred! What was the blog I used to always read about him on… Can’t recall! Wasn’t he actually beefing with them?

NO, people with mental health issues are less likely to commit violence than the general population. Violence is fully within the normal human gamut.
