Rants: Everyday Venting

[The Past]

In my opinion, it's not about the guns, it's about the culture and lack of proper regulation and mental health care. It breeds crazies with gun worship.

The increase in violence in the media is largely from nobodies wanting to be somebodies. I think all the dramatic showings of these events only encourages it. I say we should report "There was a shooting in [location], X people died, Y people injured" and leave it at that. No documentation of the shooters and their personal lives, just let the filth fade. But of course that will never happen. The news likes to play up this shit for ratings, and the populace eats it up and gives the criminals what they want.

Let's stop talking about guns, the conversation really just proves my point and it triggers me.

I see your pun and agree; it can get a little divisive.

[Epilogue]

I wasn't making a **censor** pun. I feel like I'm going to cry.

[The Past]

Please, let's calm down and move on.


On topic: I lost a good number of prizes in a game due to a glitch. ._.

The world is too PC and overly sensitive. Can't discuss real issues without someone saying triggered and belittling the actual meaning of that term. God, it makes me legit mad. Like just... stop trying to baby proof the world.


As for the gun thing the problem seems obvious. Background and psychological checks required to own weapons, then crazy people who shouldn't own weapons don't own weapons. Don't see why anyone would be against that. I mean, sure, a little inconvenient but I'm pretty sure less death is worth it.

Wow we should make drugs illegal to. If somebody in that theater in colorado would have had a gun they could have shot that idiot and went back to watching the dark knight rises

I grew up with guns in the house loaded sitting on te table and we never got hurt. Never even had an accident cause we were smarter than morons today. Hell I have a pistol sitting on my coffee loaded with a round in the chamber, been that way for a long time and it hasnt killed anybody

Guys, I get this is a hot issue here, but it's best to move on and get back on topic. At least make a new thread for it, please.

The media is always searching for drama and viewers, guns,racissm. brings ratings therefore money media is corrupt

an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

And as one last comment forgive me here ,but. "Guns don't kill people, people kill people.

Ah, it's about that time. Time to make an everyday rant.

>insert rant here<

As far as the bill that got passed in NC (I agree with it honestly) :

Completely unrelated to this thread and forum, but I find it annoying when you're trying to discuss a topic with someone on the internet and they completely misinterpret what you are trying to say. Like, assuming I'm saying the complete opposite or what they expect me to say if I'm on a different side than them(i.e. straw manning). It's like, I'm trying to debate or discuss this topic with you but you are refusing to even try.

On a less serious, different topic I really dislike the bus system in my city. At least in the mornings, it's always at least 20 minutes late and I end up having to wait in the freezing cold. I had to start waking up an hour earlier so I could take an earlier bus so I wouldn't be late for my classes :p

[Alessia Starfurr]

That's annoying.

[Jennifer Ambrosia]

legit vent:

i can't get my school work done cuz my yellow lab keeps whining cuz he wants to play so bad.

[Cecilia Peromi]

Okay, rant time:

I've been missing the charger to my tablet for the longest time. Usually I just use my brother's but he's at a party and my tablet is dead. I really need it to charge and now my phone is dying.

WHERE'S THE CHARGER!?
