    We had very positive culture in the 1950's. That is my base for comparison. I'm not saying that life isn't good in the U.S. It is. I'm not suggesting that violence is rampant in my neck of the woods. Life is fine. It is culture that is in trouble. We have replaced conversation with texting. We insult people who disagree with us politically. We replace inconvenient common sense with political correctness. We lack discipline. We replace healthy competition with a fear of winning or losing. We can't take tooth paste aboard an airplane. I won't go on. Suffice it to say that our culture is sick. Gun violence is a symptom of it. I'm grateful for the quality of life we have in the U.S. but I would prefer the culture we enjoyed in the '50's.

    But it is off topic. I was talking about culture and he is talking about quality of life. I agree with what he said but it doesn't address my post.

    Sorry I came off grumpy. I agree with your commentary. I think we agree, just a matter of semantics.:)

    I still would not rather live anywhere on earth except where I live right now - America.:flagus:

    result of 'reality tv', which was anything but reality... now it seems the norm... and lefty still swears that media doesn't influence societies... prolly 'cause they've controlled the media for many decades... (the enemy from within)

    Whoa. Don’t know this picture is a fact but it would seem to be a MSM and Democratic talking point problem if the pictures above accurately depicts the collective face of America’s mass murderers!! Heard Democrats calling out the bazillion upon bazillion mass murder shootings in 2019 and never thought that it looked like this.

    I'm sorry, did you even HEAR about the Ohio shooting? Are you under the impression that the perp was a white supremacist?

    Certainly media has made our culture worse. But the internet is the major cause of our declining culture in my view. It allows people to hide from the world with which they interact. And I say this as someone who makes his living on the internet.

    Are you getting confused between the El Paso shooter and the Dayton shooter?

    The fast and Furious operation only involved a thousand or so guns which is insignificant compared to the number of guns smuggled into Mexico from the US.

    Okay. So you think that both were white supremacists?

    No, looking back. it is because you wrote "non-white supremacist ones" and because the hyphen is between non and white then your phrase "non-white supremacist ones" refers to black, or not white, supremacist ones

    Well, if he does, so does Elizabeth Warren. Dayton shooter wanted her to win the presidency, so I guess her nomination is toast. What did she do to inspire him? He was also a huge Antifa fanboy.

    Why is it that mass shootings occur EVERY day in Lib hellholes like Baltimore and Chicago, yet no Democrats talk about it or even have a clue as to how they would stop it? (Probably not voting Democrat would be a good start) Maybe because it happens every day on THEIR impotent watch...

    Or last month's attempted firebombing of an ICE facility in Tacoma by 69 year old Antifa militant Willem van Spronsen who was killed by police. What did Democrats have to say about THAT violence?

    Democrats are so disingenuous. They tried these tactics of painting all Republicans as racists in 2016, along with a lot of other despicable names. Obviously they are using the same failed playbook....carry on...

    Wow, because mass shooting never happened before Trump. Do you people even listen to yourselves? Oh right, when your guy is president we don't have terrorism or mass shootings, we have man-made disasters and work place violence...

    Give it a rest, bro'.

    Nobody is buying the ridiculous "narrative" that you keep trying to spread.

    Those ludicrous RW "Talking points" have been discredited a thousand times over.

    Just admit that you have lost this round, and move on.

    Once again, there is no "equivalency" between gang shootings and the RACIST Murders (inspired by Trump) in El Paso.
