Mass shooting in the middle school Vladislav Ribnikar in Belgrade

[FlatAssembler]

If you mean to say Gary Kleck's study has too small sample size... Do you reject the entire comparative linguistics then? Because there are only 5'000 languages out there, so no comparative linguistics study can have a sample size larger than 5'000.

My bad, I didn't know this was the comparative linguistics thread, I thought it was about a mass shooting in belgrade.  You've already informed me, as our resident science authority, that the field is only as good as this study, so..yeah, I guess we'd have to reject the whole thing?  Who are we to argue with your conclusion?  We did this shit pages ago...?

Wanna talk about mass shooters?

My point is, if you reject the Gary Kleck's study on the grounds that it has a too small sample size, what justification do you have for accepting mainstream comparative linguistics and mainstream linguistic typology and the scientific consensus of other fields where a study with a larger sample size is impossible?

[The Grand Nudger]

Jesus christ....? I understood your point pages ago when you first embarrassed yourself with it. I'm, just agreeing? According to you, your entire field is less rigorous then this particular study and if that's true we have to abandon it.

I'm reading a hard no on wanting to discuss anything about your own op, huh?

[The Architect Of Fate]

Since you are so bad at English (not knowing the difference between "your" and "you're"), I doubt you can even understand them.

1. Confusing the ability to write with the ability to comprehend. Very dumb.....

2. It's called a translation program into my native language (I have read the study several times as well as all the vastly superior refutations)

Why then, are people local to me getting ready to bury family members who were shot and killed at an area mall?

You are a troll...we've known it a long time.  You don't have to keep proving it over and over.

How many people die in mall shootings per year in the US? How many people get struck by lightning twice? How many get struck by lightning thrice? How many Floridians get bit by sharks per year?

The issue is, you made it about the mall, and you selfishly and anecdotaly (something we should be above at he forum) made your argument about your own family getting bit by sharks (rare like mall shootings) and you made claims about no one being safe in a mall. If you had left out the mall part and you just wanted to talk about guns, you'd be fine. But instead, now you just sound like someone who's shown up to the beach and is yelling at the top of their lungs, "close to beach, I have an intuition that a shark may be on its way."

My comment was that it was too close for comfort for me.  YMMV

Except, you know, that it actually is. Next thing, you'll be telling us that no one is being shot in churches or schools or mosques or business offices or concert venues or birthday parties...

AWTY said you can't even be safe in a mall. That's BS and fear mongering and some talking point a politician would put forward before they dropped the hammer down on the citizens rights. Mall shootings are extremely rare. Yes, shootings can take place anywhere, which is why you focus on the shooting part of the story, not the mall. AWTY is fixated now on how dangerous malls are, and it's just not logical whatsoever. To be concerned about gun violence in general, which is what I assume you're getting at here, is completely fine. To fearmonger about sharks and malls, is silly, no matter which way you look at it.

I am not fixated on anything you ignorant fuck.

Get my name out of your mouth.  

Any more mention of my name connected with your lies will be looked at as flaming.   You know about flaming, right, you preached it earlier.

And you said, ‘NONE of us are dying in mall shootings. It’s not happening.’ Now, you’re saying that it’s rare, which I agree with. But ‘it’s not happening’ isn’t the same as ‘it hardly ever happens.’

But it’s a fact that the recent tragedy isn’t the first mass shooting to take place in a US mall. Awty was correct that, when it comes to people with grudges and guns, Americans aren’t safe anywhere.

I meant that none of us on the forum are going to die in a mall shooting, but since AWTY has now threatened me, let's please change topics so I don't get banned.

A quote for the Irrational Atheist:

“Hegel thought that, if enough was known about a thing to distinguish it from all other things, then all its properties could be inferred by logic. This was a mistake, and from this mistake arose the whole edifice of his system. This illustrates an important truth, namely, that the worse your logic, the more interesting the consequences.”

― Bertrand Russell

You don't even know that none of us here at this forum will not de in a mall-shooting, or any other mass-murder. And then after asserting something you literally cannot know, you ask to change the topic?

Maybe you should think about what you write before you write.
