Its related because both happened in Orlando, Florida two days apart from each other. Everyone is so shocked about how could something like this even happen when if everyone had been paying attention to when Grimmie was killed in the same manner it wouldn't have been so shocking to hear about what happened today.
I don't know that that's true. Denny is happy to chat with you about the death of Vince Foster any time. barfo
Mass shootings are becoming common place in our country. Nothing is being done. Our government can't protect us. We must protect ourselves.
I hate having to explain obvious things to people but here goes. If you are counting a human death as a negative, 1 is not as bad as 100. If every life is equally important as you say, imagine every human on Earth dying 5 seconds after the last single human death on Earth. Mass extinction is a bigger event than a single human death, logically 100 dying could be bigger also. I also remember starting threads that went nowhere.
I like small home-based offices. But when ive worked from home in the past, its hard for me to concentrate. Instead id think of all the work i should be doing at home. Which is why i never have really worked from home even when its been offered.
I have seen no reports the idiot who showed up in LA was a Sanders supporter. All the homophobes are lined up to offer "prayers". Fuck their prayers. I don't want prayers from people who hate me. Except for Cornyn, not one even bother to mention it was a gay, Latino/a club that was shot up. Just some anonymous dead bodies to pray over. Now, let's go pass another antigay law. Florida is one of the states where a person can be fired from his/her job solely due to sexual orientation or gender identity/expression. So some of the injured in hospitals could lose their jobs when they recover. And have zero recourse in law. Does that sound far-fetched? When Christian terrorist Eric Rudolph bombed the Atlanta Olympics, he also bombed a women's health clinic that performed abortions, killing a police officer and blinding a nurse, and a lesbian nightclub. No one was killed at the club but many injured. The most seriously injured was a woman who worked at in insurance company. After weeks in the hospital, she returned to work and was fired her first day back, for being gay. She filed suit. The judge was outraged but said legally, he could do nothing. It was entirely legal to fire her for being gay. And still is.
Was hiking this weekend around Mt. Rainier. Totally remote and no access to media. Go into breakfast at the local watering hole yesterday morning and hear people talking about the largest terror attack on US soil. I hop on my phone to read about it. How surreal and sad. What a vicious and cowardly attack. On the way into work today, there was a pride flag at half mast. I don't know what else to say, except that I hope that this attack doesn't add fuel to the fire of those spouting hateful things. I hope instead that the response from Americans is one we can be proud of. Also, I agree with this tweet:
There was a news report I read that on his facebook page he talked about going to a Sanders rally and had posted a picture of Hillary as Hitler.
Not even the guys who anonymously meet up in public bathrooms for sex? There are a few stings for that and it is a public nuisance/safety issue.
I thought that was part of bro culture. Hook up in bathrooms. Hook up behind dumpsters. You know, bro culture.
Totally agree. Wouldn't have been able to do it if I hadn't first worked in an office with a total of 2-3 people daily.
Anyone willing to guess why people aren't putting rainbow flags or changing their profile pictures on Facebook because of this like they do during most tragedies of this nature? I notice, at least on my feed, people aren't doing the same thing as they usually do. Seems like there was more of a social media reaction to the Paris Islamic Terrorist attacks than the Orland Islamic Terrorist attacks. Are we numb to these things?
