Tea Party maybe, but I don't think that Catholic would have raised a peep (unless it happened in Ireland).

That's not fair, classic. You are lumping those three together in a purposely misleading manner. TW would have responded with 4 words relating to the topic before spouting off about 7 minutes after the plane hit, Spex would have entered the scene making the connection between conservative thought, guns, and small penises, and Shaw would have followed it up by giving Spex a blowjob.

Those are 3 very different response to the hypothetical issue, please don't try to lump them together.

Another current events thread where the assholes come out of their closets with personal attacks. Well done.

Why don't we just kill everyone who has the potential to do something like this?

If you want, but I was referring to mentally ill people who take hostages or go on a killing spree.

If the guy wasn't so crazy I'd say he had a few good points. He just got a little carried away.

Sometimes crazy people get it right, but still fail at delivering the message.

While reading Ray Kurzweil's book The Age of Spiritual Machines (deals with the philosophical implications of the inevitability of machine intelligence) I came upon two pages of quoted text. After reading and agreeing with it wholeheartedly (it was very thoughtful, well laid-out, and utterly convincing in the points it made) I discovered that I had been reading an excerpt from the Unabomber Manifesto.

Those three points are probably linked in a complex and recursive downward spiral.

Careful, spexx, when these short guys band together they almost make one real man. You know, the kind who actually get blow jobs.

No, no, I'm happy curing the ones who actually do something stupid. Just because a guy is a rabid environmentalist, "retarded", mentally disturbed, catholic, a tea-bagger, or just bug nuts, does not mean he gets to line people up and shoot them and/or blow them up because the voices tell him to.

How would one's survivors react to this statement:
Law Enforcement: "We're sorry to tell you this, but your father was killed this afternoon when a crazy guy burst into his office building and spent five hours killing people."

Survivors: "WTF?! Couldn't anyone stop him?"

LE: "Well, no. I said he's crazy. Weren't you listening? Crazy people get to kill."

Refux is many things - I didn't know short was one of them.
