Is It Time to Treat Violence Like a Contagious Disease?
wired ^ | 1.18.13 | Brandon Keim

The idea that violence is contagious doesn’t appear in the Obama administration’s gun control plan, nor in the National Rifle Association’s arguments. But some scientists believe that understanding the literally infectious nature of violence is essential to preventing it.

Human beings are violent.

Always have been, always will be.

That is all.

Violence isn’t the disease/contagion, liberalism is.

It’s time to treat liberalism like a contagious disease.

Oh, and Islam is the worst of plagues upon humanity.

Hate is the Mother of all inhumanity. There is an obsession with hate that has possessed the Left like a drug. It is more addictive than the hardest narcotic and will overwhelm the spirit and turn ones life into slavery always seeking the next fix. This is what happens when one rejects the love of Christ and lets the rule of demons control their lives.

Racists of any stripe—black, white—believe that they are better than the other and the target of their condemnation should be subordinate to them. Anyone who subordinates another is really acting like a fascist. This fascist ideology, of course, was created by the old Democrats of the south who imposed segregation between blacks and whites.

The hate of the Left is all about putting those they regard as opposing their ideology into a subordinate position under their rule. This is the definition of fascism, where the individual is subordinate to the State.

These fascists were all set to run America as a fascist state when der Hildebeast became president. They are now trying to do it using the courts and whatever lies they can create to Alinskicize their enemies. What is obvious is their stupidity. Imagine them with all of that power, controlling the lives of Americans who they regard as bugs infesting the Earth. Their stupidity will fail as all such systems failed throughout history. It is based upon a lie.

If it’s like liberals let us address AIDS, the offending practice will be encouraged, but free condoms will also be distributed.

Well, I bet they got the treatment wrong. If we are going to consider violence to be like a disease, the correct treatment is jail. And plenty off it.

If we used public caning as a treatment, that would create an actual cure.

That’s OK. I’ve been guilty too, of posting a reply, without reading the article first.

It’s an tried and true FR tradition. :)

Obligatory at times. Carry on.
