I'd say it's a requirement when wanting to be understood by anyone other than yourself.

How about the context of plain English?

Perhaps an article is needed on how Republicans disenfranchise blacks and hispanics to stop Democrats winning.

if you hate seeing the words 'gun control' or 'gun grab' or whatever, i suggest not reading extreme right leaning propaganda. in my experience they are the only side peddling this nonsense, and they do so to keep their base terrified that a muslim, non us citizen, is working day and night to take all their guns. destroy their religion, ruin their country, and take their guns. quite absurd, but that paranoia alone is what keeps the conversation at an abhorrently dense level.
i'm sorry but i just don't buy that nothing can be done at all. if its more difficult for an unstable person to obtain a gun, even if it only delays their ability, it gives the possibility that their plan may come to light and the whole thing can be stopped. good example is the plot that was just uncovered in CA.
that's one angle, i'm sure a rife napoleon complex has driven many a mass shooter home..

The rationale "guns don't kill, people do" is a device for completely avoiding any discussion of the gun culture in the United States or the effect it has on society.
You may be new to this forum, relatively speaking, but having seen it as often as I have - you get tired of the same, tired boring old argument.
Sure, you don't want to discuss gun crime. If that's the limit of your interest in the topic, perhaps you should excuse yourself from it.

If you find the bias in the article, please point it out

You have to laugh at how 'bickering' is the new fashionable rationale for moderation.
Arguing about petty things. That's totally not what goes on here at all.

Presumably thinner = smaller target profile and faster running speed

In other words, these are targetted budget cuts designed specifically to disenfranchise people in those districts who are not worth anything to the people in charge because they derive no benefit from them at elections.Institutional corruption, in other words. It's only spin to anyone who has closed their eyes and ears to this happening before. It's routine.

Stupid.

Did you need an example? I thought most people would generally know what mixed race means.

She's been on topic since the first post. Guess your statement sounds ridiculous coming out of someone else mouth. Maybe you should rethink it huh?

How ridiculous. Why would you discount major cities from a national picture of crime?
I could say that the UK has the lowest crime rate in the world if you discount London, Manchester, Birmingham, Glasgow, Newcastle and Liverpool.
Brilliant. Cheers for that!

1. you brought up deflection earlier in the thread and generally speaking the entire 'but what about black on black crime' argument is commonly brought up after a white cop on black civilian shooting for the exact purpose of deflection.
2. it's the question i want to ask first whenever i hear someone talk about black on black crime of how many black people are in prison in this country or how many black people kill other black people. not to be provocative, it's simply the question i have when someone goes on about a symptom of our diseased judical system and the PIC in this country. we not only have a shocking murder rate, we have the most people in jail. most of them aren't there for murder.
3.i agree that all life matters. i disagree that race should never enter into the discussion, especially when the data clearly shows different racial trends. my personal view if that class is a far better predictor than race, when it comes to gun violence. class warfare or race war, end of the day - dead people are dead and guns are easy to get. total mess.

I really think you'd be better off if you actually quoted me rather than ascribed opinions to me based on your gut level assumptions about "you folks".
Who is "you folks?"

People who say things along the lines of "things were better in my day", "kids these days" etc. probably don't remember those past decades as well as they think they do.

i'm sorry but that title is totally lol...

What does that tell you about the people who see him as the next best thing after sliced bread?
They probably don't know how to use a bread knife.

piss poor example if you ask me. i see one chick who should probably rethink sporting bare midriff, surrounded by women who look fit enough.
so i hear some people got shot, boiler you should compile a list of the dead's bmi. we should probably start tracking the obesity of gunshot victims. something good will come of all this.

To be fair Ewok has gotten back to me in the past when using the contact us link. Perhaps a Mod can also send a note on your behalf?

The thing that really struck me is another crazy jackass somehow managed to get gun, but to each their own, I guess.
