14 Children and Teacher Killed in Texas Elementary School Shooting

To get those back would take something we all don't want to think about, which is why people say you can give it up easy but you can't get it back easy.

John oliver is the biggest bitch on TV

John Oliver's show make real world changes for the better.

He burns down many stupid republican mantras and embarrasses them in the process.

Republicans leaders are made to look fools which really has a rippling affect.

This recently was poetic!

John Oliver Ran 'Distressingly Popular' Ted Cruz Fan Fiction Ads to Pressure Congress on Data Brokering (https://people.com/politics/john-oliver-pressures-congress-to-enforce-regulations-on-data-brokers/)

[Trexller]

I find John Oliver to be a funny guy, from way back in the day when he was a pimple faced goon on The Daily Show

Last Week Tonight leans heavily to the left, but its HBO and like Bill Maher's show, they rip apart both sides of the political spectrum

I watch it, and he's usually right

definitely exaggerates alot of things, but thats just TV sensationalism

I guess I like alot of the humor? often very british "humour" ofc.

John Oliver and his staff have been able to dig deep into our society/government and they always highlight something going on that is truly fucked up, and ~98% of the time, they are spot on correct. They really push the bar, hard, with how far they can go to piss off nefarious businessmen and other bad actors, big time shaming events.

John Oliver is like if Bill Maher was perpectually pissed off and still funny about it, the guy is gonna have a heart attack sooner than later, or maybe he's like if Shawn Hannity were a skinny liberal british guy.

they make it easy to watch too, pretty much the entire 8 year series is on youtube

Says who?

look around all you see is fake smiles, forced pleasantries, every "issue group" has fractured into their own militant form of activism.

like nobody is happy, happiness isn't some grand mystery, its simply just feeling okay with the world around you, and the advent of social media has forced every concept imaginable onto everyone, statistically speaking, you wont like something out there, and you're gonna hear about it again and again and again. So you don't use social media? Everyone you know does, and they'll tell you about it, or you'll hear about it on the news, TV, movies, etc etc. You cannot avoid it.

Anyone who says they are "happy" has just succeeded in lying to themselves. Literally no one is happy out there. I meet alot of people in my job, and social life, and you can see it in their faces sometimes, but I posess the third eye. I can see into souls. Its like an empathy superpower. I feel what you feel when i look in your eyes. Everyone is pissed off, scared, and desperately trying to keep up the "I'm Happy" wall

yeah i know how it sounds, There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, Than dreamt of in your philosophy. Yeah thats right. Shakespeare. The onion of Trexller has many layers.

This "Modern world" that we have built is a house of cards and its going to crumble, as spectacularly as it is devastating.

If they're angry, they're not nearly angry enough. Folks complaining from the safety and comfort of their living room couches aren't accomplishing anything. I did what I could but most days I was entirely alone. In retrospect I wonder if the internet might be the worst thing to happen to our culture. Angry folks used to complain at city hall or at least write letters to the newspaper or to their representatives now simply blow off their steam on the internet where it's vented ineffectually. Makes it easier for the fringe elements--who do still have the drive to get up and physically do stuff--to exert disproportionate influence.

lil freudian there

you got truck nuts as a foregrip? so when you're aiming your "rifle" you are also holding your own nutsack.

everyone already thinks that guns are a surrogate penis

and you'd basically have to cup the foregrip with your fingers so, this entirely eliminates the recoil control that a foregrip provides, aaand those nuts look off balance, so your rifle is gonna pull to the side, on top of you being unable to control muzzle climb.

Now i know its a 300yr old elf sim and nuffin can be done, but there has gotta be some here that dont mind a civil discord on somewhat important matters. Since frequenting your boards here i have actually read some awesome points of view about all manner of subjects.
Even some of you have helped me see that you are in fact different from us (me) on a range of issues. I can now see that you are by and large controlled by the FUD inflicted on you by "the other side" on a range of issues.
Its like watchimg an episode of the Simpsons or Futurama Scholl shooting happens
Part of Side one says can we even discuss some gun restraint?
Side two says "Those father mothers wanna steal your guns#!#!"
Thats just what those other guys said!
The banks outta money.
I havent got your money, its at Bills house.
Add your own accents, im certain many of you know the references.

I realise some parts of both sides actually say those extreme view points.
As an example, when ya sell/buy a car. Seller wants $1000000.
Buyer wants it for free.
The answer, suprisingly enough is always usually towards the middle.
So shooting.
Side A says Take all they guns#
Side B If anything, we need more guns.
Where dost thou thinketh thyn solution resides gentle folk?
Exactly.
Feel free to dismantle this or totally ignore it.

[starkind]

we used to actually be way more violent towards our government and the rich businessmen throughout the 1900-1970's erra --- the elites where almost--- touchable.

something broke after the race riots.

We stopped being really truly violent except for kiddy shooters & select gangbangers (allowed to exist in gangbanger zones) and the government started killing anyone who threatened the hegemony of walmart and big businesses. The mafia went CIA, FBI or underground and all our best men started going overseas to die instead of staying at home and protecting their families. People got 'rights' to do stupid things with their minds and bodies and it became ok to be a drug addict and leach in a minimum wage job. It became OK to curse in public and yell and scream and throw tempertantrums about your bigmacs and harras ppl for not getting ur way. At some point we stopped being able to kill these ppl and correct the course of society through natural selection. Their kids became sacred objects never to be touched or have their asses handed to them or shown truly violent bloody murder.

What happened to us as a species? How did we get here?

-----

CNN and the news and ppl they talk a lot about these shootings

they don't have gopro footage of them blasted every day for ppl to wake the fuck up and get woke

kids aren't drilled with firearm usage

why?

----

every once in awhile i get frustrated and I want to get my shit together and do something about all this and show ppl the way forward towards independence, but then I get shot down by some mental block/programming I think was put into me in the 80's with psychedelics and torture and I wonder if everyone is like this like they didn't do something to childrens brains some how. Something not obvious. Something really subversive with media and games and movies and sugar and popcorn. like 99% of ppl are just unaware and unable to admit it

and it's this, this block this question that begs me to ask, why would G-d make me like this and it is the single biggest doubt creating force in my life -- maybe G-d designed me to only fight demons and I just am programmed this way at some deep inner level where I can't follow through with being a tyrant. Even though that is what people need right now.

We need absolute tyranny. People need to see what it's like to have absolutely no choice no freedom no power. So they can respect what they do have and build on it again.

IMO post modernism has had a net neg effect on our youth.

It's a culture of nihilism and distrust.

a late-20th-century style and concept in the arts, architecture, and criticism that represents a departure from modernism and has at its heart a general distrust of grand theories and ideologies as well as a problematical relationship with any notion of “art.”.

It's been making me and everyone know more and more cynical as the years go on.

[MrSparkle001]

Violence is as old as humanity. That's nature. But to not see how society has declined in the past 20 or so years is to be blind. Go even farther to the 1960s and compare it to the 50s and earlier, and I don't mean the civil rights issues I mean what society as a whole valued then.

Nihilism and hedonism rule our society today. Hard work isn't valued anymore, the family unit isn't valued anymore. Neither is marriage and commitment or even a basic sense of right and wrong at times. We are fucked.

Also according to science, every single society that exists without the technology that makes all of the above, is categorically happier (and I bet even safer) than the average person in our society.

I'm just not a tedious reactionary. I also believe society is coming unraveled, but it's not due to sexy music videos and social issues. It is due to capitalism running unchecked into the information age.

That is completely subjective. I don't care for that song much either but I absolutely support their rights to make that music video.

Anything more tangible or quantifiable?

Im at the age of my life where im like, these kids are dressing like satan, because they listen to the satan music! Not the other way around!

Which is a total contradiction to my entire lifes ethos.

Now where did I put that anarchy symbol...

I can't get mad at a music video about that wet ass pussy.

They're not the cause, they're a symptom that something's wrong.

What's wrong? What's wrong with society that they are a symptom of? Why is that video an example?

That this is happening now is terrible! Couldn't the administration have organised distance learning? Do you think this terrible event could have been prevented? I think so. The administrations of universities and all educational institutions in general should have organised distance learning. I understand that in this form students can use help with homework, for example here https://ca.edubirdie.com/homework-help or on other way. There are many sites but I think it is not worth it and it is better to trust the students. I think it's just the negligence of security and administration. What do you think?

Students should be allowed to study at home. Paying attention to all quarantine restrictions and everything else is just a necessity. Especially, many institutions only benefit from it. I do not understand why this has not been done.

We dont need schools in the metaverse.

[Timothy_Colwell]

No, distance learning is not the solution to this cultural/societal problem.

Kids used to bring guns to school and noone got shot.

This is a failing of our declining society and culture.

Yes, indeed, I missed that point. I agree with you. Full-time education is first and foremost an opportunity for socialisation of the student and perhaps this will lead to a reduction in such cases. A person's socialisation is very important and if a student is not in contact with reality at least once a week it might just drive him/her crazy and affect his/her mental health. Also, students may indeed seek help with homework on the side of services such as this one: https://ca.edubirdie.com/homework-help just to free up time for more important or not-so-important tasks. Still, it seems to me that in today's world, especially with our pandemics, distance learning makes some sense, but should not be abused.

Yeah kids need conditioning at a state run fascililty if we're gonna force them to fit into this technocratic nightmare we call life now.

My four year old can read, write, and is starting basic algebra. My two year old is starting to read sight words fairly well.

The plan is to just keep homeschooling and have them test out of HS around 10 years old then they can do whatever with their evil powers of deduction and independent thought.

School shootings are the result of a sick society. Has nothing to do with weapon availability (We brought our guns to class for boyscout shooting in 1993)

Imagine being a parent, your child asks you a question, and you answer, " I don't know " The confusion that gives the child is immense. Entire generations of kids think their parents are idiots ( lots are ) If I don't know something, the correct answer is, " Lets find out! "

I didn't have kids to send them away for 8 hours a day to be taught to hate me by complete retards following a flowchart.
