    The other alternative is a war-mongering, surveillance-obsessed pathological liar. I genuinely believe Hillary to be more dangerous than Trump, even if he is a vile bigot.

    Always had faith in you not to make such a stupid decision.

    Both are horrible choices, but good lord Hilary is definitely the lesser of two evils.


    Ooh er, politics.

    Clinton won't necessarily be the democratic nominee...probably will but she could yet get done. And that's enough politics from me!

    Well . . . jihadist nutjobs aren't "only in America" and Trump, whom I have not supported, is right on this one.

    Enough political talk . . . . A muslim walks into a gay bar, the bartender asks"what will you have"? The muslim says, free shots for everyone.

    People being killed in Orlando would indeed only happen in Americs.

    However more were killed in Paris and have been elsewhere in gun massacres.

    Paris was so shocking because its so rare. How many mass gun crime deaths / murders have there been in America in the past decade?

    I noticed Micheal Moore tweet earlier today, that there have been 173 mass shootings in the US in the first 163 days of this year.

    The fact that mass shootings by Muslims with issues don't happen only in America is the point.

    I just meant mass shootings in general, the religion of the perp doesnt need to come into it.

    This massacre has nothing to do with American gun laws and the availability of guns. It was a Muslim with an issue. These things have happened in countries with strict gun laws like France. If guns aren't available they use other items. This incident doesn't belong under Only In America.

    In this case it does as it was what was behind it.

    We discussed the Charleston church shooting on this thread and that was religion based. It couldve happened at any Christian church in the world.

    You can't just dismiss the fact that military spec weapons are freely available to civilians, it's obviously a significant factor. The AR-15 is the gun of choice for nutters who want to kill a large amount of people, if guns like this weren't freely available, people wouldn't be able to go around massacring 50 people.
