I wasn’t doing anything of the kind.

I was responding to a claim by a poster.

Nope.

Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.

You were hoist on the petard of your own assumptions.

[WuWei]

Crawfishing… tsk, tsk.

Get back in that motte!

Who changed the context?

Slick Willie, is that you?

No? Do you not defend the current context?

Doesn’t this kind of control over the uneducated, unwashed simpletons kind of appeal to the leftists though? It’s easy to see where one could make that assumption.

If you want to participate in a conversation, you really ought to read the conversation first as opposed to jumping in with talking points.

But thank you for playing.

I read every post and responded after I saw your response to Conservative_frk about his take being partisan.

[WuWei]

@JayJay

not if you want to predict an outcome in a complex system.

I missed this earlier. I can think of very few things that humans suck at more than “predicting”.

[WuWei]

You can if you want to, but you don’t need to explain yourself. It’s there for anybody to read.

I think the powers that be had a heads up about many of the people that have done mass shootings ahead of time.

We would do better to understand the root causes for what makes them become violent in the first place.

PRETTY sure many on here such as myself have been saying this for years. I would wager if you searched posts here you would find numerous posters saying EXACTLY this, or something very similar such as “why are we not trying to figure out what is causing these individuals to think this is the only solution”.

Do they become violent? Or desperate?

The “Identifying Mass Shooters Act” was introduced by Rep. Kweisi Mfume, D-Md.,

Why stop there? How about we use social media to identify gang-bangers before they shoot up the hood on Saturday night? What do you suppose Mfume would think about that?
