Condescension isn't a valid argument. How about you use actual discourse?LoathedVermin72 wrote:That's not surprising.

So instead of listening objectively to a person's opinion, respecting it, and then weighing in with your own respectful opinion, you insult them, and refuse to elaborate on why you disagree? Sounds like everyone on the left.LoathedVermin72 wrote:What's the point?
The thing is, I too am considered a millennial. And I'm only about 10 years older. Maybe I misspoke when I said "generation", as I really don't know how else to refer to them. I admire what they are doing even if I don't agree with their focus. I think they are focusing on the wrong kind of prevention.Simple Torture wrote:I'm pretty sure every single generation since the beginning of time has thought this about the generation that came after them.StonyGold wrote:This is the generation of zero responsibility.

lol, "respectful." I've argued with enough conservatives to know it's pointless 90% of the time. I'm done. They're not going to change their minds. They're just obstacles at this point.StonyGold wrote:So instead of listening objectively to a person's opinion, respecting it, and then weighing in with your own respectful opinion, you insult them, and refuse to elaborate on why you disagree?

Even if you want to approach this as a mental health problem (and we absolutely have a massive mental health problem in the US), the dumbass "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" mentality of Americanism means that's not getting addressed in any serious way any time soon, so in the meantime, we clearly can't handle our access to firearms, so it needs to go.Monkey_Driven wrote:What's the stat, only about 15-20 percent of gun deaths involve shooters with mental issues? Seems like gun control is the logical start to this issue, since you know, they are involved with 100 percent of gun deaths.
Yup.

Right. One side of the mouth says this is an issue for doctors to sort out. The other side of the mouth says doctors should choose not to see a patient unless they can pay the bill.LoathedVermin72 wrote:Even if you want to approach this as a mental health problem (and we absolutely have a massive mental health problem in the US), the dumbass "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" mentality of Americanism means that's not getting addressed in any serious way any time soon, so in the meantime, we clearly can't handle our access to firearms, so it needs to go.Monkey_Driven wrote:What's the stat, only about 15-20 percent of gun deaths involve shooters with mental issues?
