I did give some suggestions at the beginning, and only 1-2 posters responded in kind. The majority including you resorted to lol emojis and name calling:

I want to have that discussion and have no issue looking in the mirror. Hit me with what you believe is the “root cause,” as well as solutions going forward. What are people wrong about? Knowing how simple you are, and the fact you use “cause” singularly…this should be a great read

^^^^^
That’s from you

And what was your response?

Btw, that’s not name calling…or laughing emojis.

 

[RNHawk]

Is finger pointing on legislation and suggesting all on the left relinquish their guns considered being serious? Sounds more like being a partisan hack. If you want to have serious conversation, you should start. You never even answered when I asked what you believe the “root cause” is. Nothing you have offered here is remotely akin to that. What hard questions are you asking and people are refusing to answer? Take your own advice, and look in the mirror.

Only blaming republicans, guns, and the NRA on the evil in this world isn’t being a partisan hack?

 

[RNHawk]

Would you admit the second is a top 2 or 3 issue - agenda item for Rs? Every time a dem mentions gun control the Rs whip their base into a frenzy saying they are coming for your guns, constitution, blah , blah. The Ds know it’s a losing proposition. Any real common sense gun law changes will have to come from the Rs. Why wont the Rs do this?

What did they do last year?

 

[LBoogie28]

Where have I done that?

 

[RNHawk]

And what was your response?

Sorry I forgot insinuating you are stupid, feel better now, why don t you save us the time and put my response out there so I can address it

 

[RNHawk]

Where have I done that?

Have you seen this thread?

 

[TC Nole OX]

Of what? Obama sucked ass. Doesn't mean you're not an Enlightened Centrism mascot candidate

Hard right centrist, more specifically

 

[globalhawk]

Is that why we - ALL 50 states - are stuck with John Fetterman, who should be spending his days in stroke recovery and therapy instead of visibly struggling to handle the job of being a US Senator?
Whose mantra is that?

You forgot why Fetterman won. The Republicans managed to run a worse candidate.

 

[LBoogie28]

Have you seen this thread?

So not me. So we agree on who is being a hack here?

 

[LBoogie28]

The question has already been asked of you, it’s your turn to provide a response. That’s how these things work.

 

[RNHawk]

If you want to call me a partisan hack fine, but keep in mind the context as to why I responded that way. Can you agree that I have been at least willing to listen and engage those who sincerely wanted too?

 

[RNHawk]

The question has already been asked of you, it’s your turn to provide a response. That’s how these things work.

Well I mentioned tougher sentences for gun crimes and credible threats, getting kids away from social media, and providing more mental health solutions. Is that the one?

 

[LBoogie28]

Can’t comment on “listening,” but agree you have engaged. I’m sure your sincere about political blame shifting.

 

[LBoogie28]

Combined, are those what you considered a “root cause” (the actual question asked)?

 

[billanole]

Well for a party who is as passionate and angry over a subject I sure don’t see any accountability from the gun owners who are Democrats. I would love for you to lead by example, but for some reason the party doesn’t? You would remove roughly 25 million firearms in the United States, which would have an impact on gun violence. No laws needed just a party to take action on something. For 25 years the members of your party could have an impact and yet they haven’t. Why?????

You just can’t give that bone up. You could lead by example.

Lol, make sure you identify the political affiliation of your next caregiver

I have a long term relationship with our care givers. Go ahead, lead by example. What cha got?

I am not the one who wants to ban assault weapons, prevent them from falling in the wrong hands yes.

Do you think I should ask the political affiliation of those I care for? It is kind of dumb to base your decision on whether I can provide competent care based on an anonymous message board and me who probably disagrees with you 99 percent of the time. I can assure you the care I provide is not what you think it is

 

[Pete Malloy]

The whole basis of this toxic out of control gun culture is based upon court rulings that ignore the obvious context of the 2nd amendment. A grade school student would interpret the text more accurately than our own ethically compromised SCOTUS many of whom claim to be scholars of the original intent of the Constitution. They’re not but we sit idly by as if we have no control over them. They should be removed, every damn one of them and maybe we start over. I’d rather have AI controlled Court decisions.

The 2nd Amendment has been correctly interpreted sorry you missed that.

I would not expect you to think outside the box in a dangerous situation regarding my care. You have an unwavering ability to only think in black/white as well as a dogged determination to demand answers without providing any when asked.
So, no. I would likely drag myself down the road to another care giver.

 

[Funky Bunch]

The gamedayron\goldie spat in this thread was much more entertaining than the current one

 

[RagnarLothbrok]

Secure the boarder.

Why? Did the boarder sneak on board?

 

[RNHawk]

Combined, are those what you considered a “root cause” (the actual question asked)?

there are many root causes which I believe have an impact.

How we raise our kids today is very different than when I was raised. I don't think kids learn how to lose with grace and be a better person for it.

I think kids growing up with no father makes a huge impact

I think the decimation of the nuclear family (specifically) spending quality time with your kids

As a Christian I would be remiss in saying that the lack of belief in the country that has been trending upward is not good. Something has to take the spot where God was in this country and a lot of times it is not good. Consider the fact that 85% of mass shooters are not Christian and the majority are agnostic or atheist.

lack of mental healthcare is lacking in this country (yes I realize republicans shoulder a lot of the blame)

our justice system is horrible, like I referenced the other day on a hiker who got stabbed by a man who was charged, with assault, armed robbery, and kidnapping and only got 16 months

going back to the family, a lot of kids don't know the difference between right and wrong, and when they do something wrong they are not properly disciplined by their parents.

Kids do not belong on social media and parents need to realize it.

BTW, kudos to another poster for this link. I think it was @Funky Bunch

well when shit hits the fan, doctors love working with me and yes that includes thinking outside the box

Might as well wrote that, saved us some time.

You never mentioned guns.
You never mentioned the legal drug pushers creating addicts via TV ads.
Other western countries have the same issues you mentioned.
What makes them different than the USA?

this is why you can't talk reasonably on here. You found nothing whatsoever in my responses that mad you pause and made you think you know there is some truth to what he is saying

I’ll pass.

do other countries have the same family issues that we do? Do those countries have a lot of gangs?

 

[binsfeldcyhawk2]

And the ‘pubs did what when given the chance? Jeez.

Pubs didn’t promise to do it….D’s have and had the chance and didn’t.

 

[globalhawk]

Yes and yes.

I like this post a lot.

Btw, is there always this much hostility here?

 

[RNHawk]

Yes and yes.

U.S. has world’s highest rate of children living in single-parent households

Almost a quarter of U.S. children under 18 live with one parent and no other adults, more than three times the share of children around the world who do so.

And I grew up a few decades after “Leave It to Beaver.”

Thanks. I guess other countries don't have family problems. You are a funny one.

How do you fix the family issue?

Well, of course they do.
You think the US has cornered the market?
I don’t think you get out much.
