I'm the troll?

You are purposely posting a controversial thread to get reactions.

Just because you sucked a dick for a tag and Mod position doesn't mean you aren't still a simple little troll just like everyone else.


If anything this is on the government for not properly treating veterans.


is there a problem with wanting reactions? he brings up a good point, but everybody is too emotionally invested to listen to it
ptsd is a serious mental health condition that many soldiers have.
They are, in fact, more likely to murder than the average citizen. These people deserve help, as does anybody who would mass murder.
However, it is hard to find murderers before they become murderers and especially hard to give people help when people ignore the issues because they take emotional offense.

Makes exactly as much sense as profiling Muslims.

90% percent of shooting victims are from Democrat perpetrators. Start there.

Do you think you might be mixing correlation and causation on this one?
I do.

Nearly 100% of mass shooters are men, so why don't we start there?

This is the sad truth. I wonder if it is related to the fact that we squash the feelings of men as part of our culture of masculinity. Seems like something that could turn them into killers.

That's because they are in touch with emotions. They know how to hurt somebody with words.
As a fairly feminine guy, I feel like I could be pretty good at this. I generally try not to, though. Constructive criticisms >

100% of all shooters are human. Clearly there's something wrong with people.

Was being a bit facetious.

Reminds me of this bit by Louis CK.

probably a lot of things combined

usually men are less empathetic at their core and not as social as women

they also respond to things like embarrassment or shame more aggressively

combine that all with a bunch of testosterone and other societal pressures and obligations and you're bound to get more male violence
