Another US Shooting

[Anubis]

Governor seemed a bit out of his depth there. 'I'd like to thank the police, our law enforcement officials, the police, and all our law enforcement officials. I'd also like to thank the FBI and the police.'

He missed out the police.

Father of the perpetrator is insisting that it had "nothing to do with" religion, but also that his son would get angry at seeing two men kissing. Hmm.

Jealousy is a horrible emotion.

I've met plenty of non-religious people who were homophobic. That may not necessarily be the case here, but to suggest they don't exist is proposterous.

 

 

I wasn't aware I'd suggested anything of the sort.

 

Nevertheless, the overwhelming majority of homophobes are taking their cue from religion, this Muslim being, presumably, no exception.

[littletedwest]

I disagree. Your average scally is likely to be homophobic not religious though

[cloggypop]

I think the outdated philosophy to be concentrating on here is US gun laws myself.

[Strontium]

Even assuming that you could, or would want to, ban guns, your religious nuts will just use bombs.

So, if you were to ban guns in the US, casualty numbers would remain the same as they are now, only all the people would die from explosive devices?

[PestiRed]

So far the only known fact about whether or not this is linked to religious terrorism is that the shooter's father has said that it definitely is not. It would be a better world if people like Trump and certain posters on this website were not gleefully jumping on the death of fifty people to declare that their petty views on the world have been somehow justified

They should ban bombs too.

[Nightcat]

So supporting the rise of the Taliban movement, AQ and ultimately ISIS, has backfired on Americans? No one could see that coming....

 

The yanks have turned human rights like everything else into a business, they sell their children to Hollywood pimps and spend their money on holidays. Degenerees and heard have become their role models. They think that they can impose this cultural shitfest to the rest of the world.

I thought we were just talking about this situation, here.

 

Nevertheless, I don't envisage a situation where they ban guns in the USA as they did here. That country was founded by folk who were sick of government telling them what to do. Their people aren't as supine as ours. It is unrealistic to think they would accept the kind of gun control we have here.

Army Of God seem to prefer nail bombs for gay bars.

[SasaS]

...which should include nail bombs.

That is a completely relative issue though. In some ways "they" are way more supine, in some ways "they" are not. Some of "them" are, some of "them" are not.

Why is it homophobic to not want to see two people kiss because you don't like it?

 

Homophobic is treating people different because of their sexuality.

 

I wish people would use homophobic in the correct context.

 

Every time someone doesn't agree with something that's gay people say it's because of homophobiosm (sp, if it's even a word)

 

This shit is bad though. Without discussing motive it's devastating news. If it's because of an actual homophobic act then it makes it even more sad and would have to think that some part of a crazy religious nut has flipped.

[cloggypop]

Killing 50 gays is pretty homophobic like.

[Fowlers God]

Killing 50 gays is pretty homophobic like.

I agreed to that

[Nelly-Szoboszlai]

Killing 50 gays is pretty homophobic like.

Have they released all of the victim's sexuality already?

 

That was quick.

Fair enough. Bit odd if he chose a gay club to target non gays though.

True. I'm just being picky.

[Duff Man]

It's often argued on here, that we get our values and morals from Christianity. Well, if that is the case, it doesnt seem unreasonable to suggest that people's prejudices might come from religion, too.

Ok tossing off to two lipstick lesbians though?

 

Hypocrite.

 

Who's fucking business is it who anybody chooses to kisses goodnight and tells their secrets to?
