Any one who believes in primitive fairy tales should not be allowed near a gun.  They have no sense of reality.

Yep, but I bet he says to himself when cartoonists depict Mo with a bomb in his turban, he thinks, "Just because you get offended doesn't mean you have the right to murder."

I think if you make it home to bed at night without dying and the worst you get is being called "cunt", you are having a good day.

Lots of people in the world have to worry about being murdered out of fear of offending.

well . . .

the 'thought' aspect of it is unavoidable. Stephen Paddock literally invented a factory to mass produce individuals with survivors guilt . . .
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

I like to see fewer "moments of silence" and more "get off your ass and do something" moments. You're getting paid to address problems, not shut up about them, assholes.

They'll tell you that they are praying for others when actually, deep down, all they are praying is "thank god it wasn't me".
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.

You said it DANO, we need to go all Five-0 and destroy their horrible logic. I am tired of their "sell more and do nothing" bullshit, only to hear "thoughts and prayers" month after month, year after year, decade after decade.

Their lip service doesn't do fucking shit.

True but it doesn't change the fact that they're cunts. And at least Min is raising cunt awareness.

We need a Cunt Awareness day. I nominate Min to head this endeavor.

You can do both: offer words of solidarity (such as thoughts/prayers) and do what you can to help.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

When we realise we are brothers and sisters in this struggle against reason, we won't need thoughts and prayers and sanctimony, we can have collective action to solve problems and try to find solutions.
