12 dead in shooting at Thousand Oaks nightclub

[1972 Grad]

The conspiracy theory, false flag nonsense is as absurd as saying nationwide gun control will solve the problem. I'm sick of both sides of the debate. I really don't think there is a solution.

There will never be a foolproof solution. Stuff happens. We live in an imperfect world.

Indeed. And we have a long history of gun culture and violence. That isn't a knock about guns, it is just part of our culture. It is what it is at this point.
I've read several articles about the correlation between the shuttering of mental institutions and the rise in mass shootings since the seventies. Focusing on mental health services is the only solution I think will have an actual impact.

They are obviously nuts. Sane people don't kill innocents. The only murders that I can sort of understand is revenge against a guilty party. Like an eye for an eye deal. It doesn't make it right, but is somewhat understandable.

I'm curious what you found so disgusting about it?

Its disgusting because he is openly mocking thise who believe in God. Why make a statement like that? Its unnecessary. He could have said what he wanted to say without mocking those who feel that their prayers and thoughts will somehow help the victims of the tragedy. There is absolutely no harm in someone offering thoughts and prayers to people in tragic situations. Why is that sonething that deserves mockery?

Do you actually feel as though thoughts and prayers EVER alleviate the aftermath of a tragedy, let alone the tragedy itself?
"Thoughts and prayers" are the equivalent of a text saying "Sorry, dude."

**** a duck. Keep your T's and P's to yourself. It doesn't mean **** to anyone.

Yes I do believe they help. I believe God hears the prayers of his followers. I dont really care what you think about it.

It's the most hollow gesture ever devised .

I have made a donation in your name to the Human Fund.

Cuomo has been reading septic’s posts. No other explanation.

Or... Thoughts and prayers are clearly worthless. Where was god when the people in Pittsburgh were at temple literally praying?

 

[Septic]

Notice their arguments are always devoid of facts and instead just focus on FEELINGS

T's and P's are feelings you dolt. They are nothing more than a coping mechanism, devoid of substance.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Not at all. Triggered was invented for weak minded liberals.

Boo hoo. If you're going to consistently lean on T's and P's as a go to, be prepared for people to mock it when nothing ever changes.

Nope, that isn't going to work this time. You threw a fit because somebody dared to question you. You triggered, just own it.

 

[volfanhill]

It’s pretty stupid

Throw him some T's and P's and it will be alright.

BOT is good people. I'm not going to throw him too far under the bus.

Now do you understand my post from the other thread?

 

[NurseGoodVol]

Does the absence of any evidence that would suggest it works necessitate a "belief" that it doesn't work or just the passive acceptance it doesn't?

Skepticism noted.

At least he didn't lie. You did. Or show us the receipt for the donation.

And ignore it when it does change . Just to be fair .

A) lighten up Francis. You had to know that was a joke.

B) T n P from a person of faith to a person of faith is absolutely appropriate. Context applies. An atheist offering T n P probably should easily be perceived as mocking. A person of faith offering T n P to an atheist probably isn’t mocking but the atheist could probably care less.

 

[NorthDallas40]

Lol. So I typed “the human fund” into google and here’s the first picture that popped up!

 

[SpaceCoastVol]

It is really amusing how threatened some of you are by someone offering prayers. Borders on fear. What the hell do you care if someone believes in God and believes that offering prayers is help and comfort?
