Guns and Paranoia

[heironymouspasparagus]

Another attempt to establish Freud as valid.  Still wrong.


Young white guys are picking up guns....young white girls are eating and throwing up.  Definitely a mental health issue here.  Maybe they have too much leisure time and way too many resources from living in well to do, upper middle class homes/families?  From several kids in the family, I keep hearing about Union Schools and how "ghetto" they have become....all the garbage behaviour going on.  It is probably too much technology at too young an age - before they develop the balance and maturity to deal with all that computing power.  At least the poor gang-bangers can say they have a "reason" - no social support group, no resources, no education,...so they have to "act" out by selling drugs and murder just to 'live'.  

I submit there is too much Dr. Zeuss in the world!!  Makes at least as much sense as that long winded crock of carp!

I remember a supposed study in the late 1970's or early '80's which purported that men who were in the disco scene were more sexually sure of themselves, more macho, etc.

All the people who listened to rock-n-roll or were old '60's hold-outs like TTC were sexually repressed, compulsive masturbators, or complete closet cases.

You sure make a lot of non sense up....why else would you have no source?

You shouldn't post pictures of yourself TTAC..........

I could use one of these at work.  But I knew an engineer who had a cowbell on his desk with "Bullshit Detector" engraved on both sides.  If he suspected a story was less than bona fide, he'd clang the bell.

Nice pic of you, DB

Sorry, at that age I was much more fit. Played football, hockey, baseball, and soccer. And I did not try to beat down, and belittle people like you do.

What's the matter? Missing the fact that Ed Shultz is no longer on MSNBC? Rachel Madcow turn you down? The fact that you blast the right while ignoring the fact that the left is just as stupid and volatile as the right? That those on MSNBC are just as toxic as FOX, Blowbaugh, Blech, Shanitty, and God forbid anyone that listens to O'Rielly or the reverend Al Sharpton. It's nothing but garbage, just like salon.com, thinkprogress.com, and the other blogosphere sites. I feel that you think that Nixon, Ford, Johnson, Kennedy, Eisenhower, and Truman were right in what they did.

You are detailing the reasons why Fox and Company are wanting to get rid of PBS and OETA.  Push comes to shove, I bet MSNBC wouldn't get all butt-hurt by PBS disappearing, either.


You are mixing your guys there - Nixon and Kennedy/Johnson in the same reference?  Would like to know the context....or is it just the historical listing?  TTC wouldn't like Nixon very much - I know I didn't like him very much.  Ford, on the other hand was a very good President and the country lost out big time when he was not re-elected.

Ford was never elected, but nice try.

Looks like Coburn has become a realist now that he is not running again....

"I'm for enhanced background checks because it's a way for you to go online to make sure you're not selling your gun to someone you wouldn't want to have it," said Coburn. The responsible way is to check them against this [National Instant Criminal Background Check System] list and they don't know that you did it."

... the country lost out big time when he was not elected....


Does that help your OCD??  The sentiment is still the same and still valid!

That's your people, guido... God bless them and their pointy little heads!  (No, not you, g! -well, yes, God bless you, but I don't think you have a pointy little head!)

I like how they phrased one of the paragraphs...."at least some of the insane"...

At least some of the insane theories suggested by the poll were dismissed by large majorities. For example, only 7% of Americans in the survey believed the moon landing was faked, 14% believed in Bigfoot and 4% accepted that "shape-shifting alien reptilian people control our world by taking on human form". In other good news, Paul McCartney will be relieved that a mere 5% of respondents believed that he died in a car crash in 1966 and was replaced by a double so the Beatles could continue their careers, and just 11% embraced the concept that the US government knowingly allowed the terror attacks of 11 September 2001 to take place.

Personally, I know for a fact there are no shape shifting aliens here on Earth!  They are all safe, secure, and comfortable in their base on the dark side of the moon, monitoring and directing the activities from a convenient distance.

I beg to differ.  Visit a W@lMart at 3 or 4 AM.  They're already here.
