I dunno man, I'm just sick of the toxic atmosphere that gets into FJ around election season.

And I'm kinda scared to think about whether or not people talking about Trump are joking about liking him.

I stopped giving a shit months ago.
It's the same old Giant Douche vs Turd Sandwhich as usual.

At this point I only keep up with what's going on just to hear what crazy shit Trump can stir up next.

The only point I was trying to make in my first comment is that there's fairly equal amounts of conservatives and liberals on this site. It's not just one or the other.

Shh.... don't argue with it... You called it a name... Apparently, you can no longer say something that will be credible. #Liberals2016

Well it doesn't make any sense and it makes you look like you're just using words you think sound edgy. Set an example for other users instead of being a follower of idiotic trends.

I think you're taking it too personally.

The opinion base of FJ is very more towards the right, though. Every time I see gun control or Muslim discussions or other political shit on the front page, the conservative views are almost universally thumbed up, with even slightly liberal or neutral views thumbed down or barely noticed.

When did it get to this point when people just call everybody "cuck" without knowing what the fuck the word means?

I just did it because that's what everyone calls liberals around here.
And because it rhymed.
It was for comedic purposes than anything else..

Yes, but the numbers are very disproportionate. 200 gun deaths a year in Canada vs. over 11k a year in the US.

not to mention where the shootings take place, which are mainly gun free areas, or like Chicago which has the most gun related murders despite having a near complete ban on guns.

Of course people target those gun free zones, not because they're gun free zones, but because those are almost always either places with masses of people (malls, movie theaters, convention centers, schools) or government facilities. Places that if you wanted to hit the most people in the shortest amount of time you'd target. People intent on that form of terrorism obviously don't intend to live through it, so even allowing guns on the premises wouldn't stop these people who were deranged. And if it's open carry it gets worse, they could get into the center of a crowd without anyone questioning it before they started.

As far as Chicago having strict gun controls and a high gun related crime rate...it's a major city, that's how it works. It isn't exactly hard to drive into a city from the surrounding metro, state, or other states. On top of that it's not like there are border checks between cities and their metro areas. So yes, weapons will get in. However, it serves a purpose, if the weapons will cause red flags for police they're much more likely to investigate and find one of those criminals who would do harm. Is it the right way to handle it? I'm not one to say, but there is logic behind the idea, though logical processes don't necessarily lead to effective (or legal) solutions. This is also not to mention the massive glut of social issues Chicago faces which perpetuate the uptick in gun violence.

On the whole that's not to say the United States should become a giant "gun free zone", that notion would be stupid, illegal, and entirely impossible, I'm just saying that gun free zones aren't arbitrary notions thought up by communists out to destroy freedoms. I'm also not saying they're the correct answer to the unanswerable problem of how to keep the peace.

Actually, if you ask a crook if he would target a place where other people have guns, they wouldn't open fire. In fact a recent shooting happened in Chicago by an Uber driver who had a concealed carry permit open fired on a guy who was about to cause a mass shooting, there by preventing a mass shooting from taking place (and the mass shooter lived), www.businessinsider.com/uber-driver-with-concealed-handgun-prevents-mass-shooting-in-chicago-2015-4 . It's not necessarily where a lot of people are, it's where and when they can't defend themselves.

I don't see the criminal's testimony, in fact there's not much information to work off of from that article regarding the shooter's intent at all. They opened fire in the middle of a street (at least that's what I got from the article, it spent less time on the incident and more on how Chicago's weapon laws have evolved) in Chicago, I'd expect there to be a lot of people. To say that they couldn't defend themselves also is incorrect in this instance because obviously they did (thanks to the actions of this individual). The inverse is thus not the case, if people can carry guns on the street it obviously didn't stop this crime before it started (though out of ignorance of the criminal or because they didn't care and intended to martyr isn't provided within the confines of the article provided).

Don't get me wrong though, if you're going to open fire on a group of people you'd much rather do it in a gun free zone than a gun range if you wanted the most bang for your buck, but at the same rate, I don't really feel like I live in a first world country when to feel safe the mall has to be as armed as the gun range. Really the issue boils down to, no matter what we do the crimes will happen. Restrictions might reduce rates or stop certain instances, but it will never work as a total block (especially if there's no consistency in regulations across state or even city borders). However removing restrictions serve to also increase the likelihood that an unhinged individual may be able to carry out a plan all the easier (though success depends, you never know when there will be an Uber driver).

Sadly there is no happy medium, you can't restrict or loosen regulations to a point to stop acts of mass violence or terror, just do as much as possible to stop them before they happen AND when they happen with limited impact to individual freedoms and the public's safety.

Aww...

Getting Texas minimum wage as an usher, but it's better than nothing, which is what I've been doing for over a year now.

Even better than that; unless its changed, you also have every right to kill some motherfucker intruding in your neighbor's house as well.

And to answer your question, it's...nice in some places.
Gets real hot, especially during summer.
It borders Mexico.
Cartel activity is a common problem for police.
Living is relatively cheap.
Texas has some of the higher education in the country, surprisingly....
I say that because Texas has a big population of idiots despite their education level.

Oklahoma's much the same, only replace Cartels with meth and drunk Indians

Ah well.
Meth never hurt anyone, I think you need to have a sit down with Trevor, learn all the benefits of some good amphetamines.

I was going to, but it just didn't seem genuine, ya know?

I have a theory that the little girl Bruce is holding in the trailer just had both her parents die in the collateral damage of superman's attack. She even looks to be the same age as Bruce was when his folks died.

So he would immediately want vengeance.
