Completely untrue as demonstrated by various studies and simple observation. I’ve known and worked with some of the most intelligent and sophisticated people in the world that cuss like sailors. It’s a stress reliever.

Anybody seen such stats?

Libs are throwing around the "fact" that there have been 250 mass shootings this year. By their definition, there were 6 this weekend. They only want to talk about two of them.

Mass shootings on 3-4 August:


1 in El Paso;
1 in Dayton;
1 in Memphis;
1 in NYC (Brooklyn);
2 in Chicago.

Could somebody please let “— Evan McMullin” know that the compromise of our rights and freedoms actually contribute to these mass shootings. A firearm free zone/area provides targets that don’t/can’t shoot back. If we actually refuse to compromise our right to self defense maybe somebody can take care of these problems before the bodycount rises.

But death by flu doesn’t bring out the SWAT team with loud speakers and sirens and flashing lights.

We respond more to gun death because they make loud noises. Bathtubs kill thousands, but they don’t go bang.

This guy is one of the biggest pushers of AGW, but he obviously doesn’t understand that the Left expect 100% fealty on all agenda items. Screw up and tell the truth in reference to any of their agenda and you will be skewered.

According to the Democrats in charge of ILLinois, this is merely "collateral damage", I suppose.

This is the first time I recall agreeing with him.

I thought this way as a boy: 300 people die together on a plane, and it is a horrific tragedy. The same 300 people die separately at the same time in various places, and it is business as usual.

See The Joker about The Plan in The Dark Knight.

Nope, Bill Nye is a Fake Scientist who has a degree in Mechanicial Engineering but pretends to be a "scientific expert" on TV because he wears a white lab coat and hosted a children's TV show in the 90s. He is no more an "expert" on science than I'm an expert in Jewish law because I played a Rabbi in a H.S. play.

Neil deGrasse Tyson, on the other hand, is a real scientist with a doctorate in Astrophysics, who serves as Director of the Hayden Planetarium and has held numerous positions as a research scientist at the University of Maryland, Princeton University, and the American Museum of Natural History; and was appointed by President George W. Bush to serve on the Commission of United States Aerospace Industry and to oversee the United States Space Exploration Policy commission.

Some FReepers apparently have trouble telling the difference between the two.

The jackwad gets one RIGHT for a change!

Congratulations, Mr Ego, you win one by being correct in fact AND rumination! FINALLY.

Will we ever hear the end of this is my next question.
