America loves a winner!

Perhaps if they had a knife buy back program...

Fathom the hypocrisy of a government that requires every citizen to prove they are insured... but not everyone must prove they are a citizen

I understand the plight of the Uigars and other oppressed minorities in China, I just wish that people who felt oppressed could come up with something other than 'kill lots of random civilians' as their strategy for dissent.

Amen to that - while I can maybe see a little frustration with the apathetic complicity of the average citizen of an oppressive regime, it's not only no excuse, it's counterproductive cause most of the time they're damn near as oppressed as the folks feeling victimized, seriously, most of the time they don't feel they have any say in the matter either so why target them ?

Same way war is both stupid and pointless, peons killing peons over the desires of masters who despise them all equally ?
Fuck. That. Noise.

I figure if yer gonna use violence, if things have gone far enough that you honestly believe nothing less awful will serve, there's a moral imperative to direct it at those actually RESPONSIBLE for the deeds you've taken as offense - neither Gaetano Bresci or Leon Czolgosz laid harm to anyone but the target, for example.

And if you wanna discard the moral factor, beyond that even, it's unprofessional, and that rooks me the worst.

Agreed, Frem. Whatever issues they have, and however just their cause may be, they won't win any allies committing random murders.
