7 people blasted with a shotgun in West Philly
9 people shot on a basketball court in Detroit

Gunzzzzzzz not the problem tho right?

Guns are huge problem but a fundamental lack of respect for life is a bigger one.    I'll be honest, though... humans have an instinct that compels them to prepare for disaster.  Self-preservation is coded into our genetic makeup, and if you look at what we're doing to the planet we live on, and how we treat it, the other species who inhabit it, not to mention each other, it's not the least bit surprising that our urge to stockpile weapons seems so overwhelming.  I think most of us know instinctively that we're not long for the planet as a species and the initial spasms toward the inevitable death throes have begun.

I think we've passed the tipping point already.  We don't have enough clean water to sustain ourselves.  Our food is diseased or genetically modified.  The air is filthy in most places.  In 150 years we've taken an absolute paradise and destroyed it and that's without nuking ourselves out of existence or releasing biological or chemical toxins to kill each other.

In short, it's all over but the counting.

does this mean the eagles aren't winning the super bowl?

[Seabiscuit36]

I'm with Romey.  The world will end the with 10 seconds left on the clock at the Superbowl, and the birds are about to win it all then bam, fade to black.  I'm damn sure of it at this point. 

Also to romey's point

don't know if this goes here or in the racism topic:

http://www.theroot.com/articles/news/2015/06/sc_state_rep_charleston_victims_sat_in_there_waited_their_turn_to_be_shot.html

South Carolina state Rep: William Chumley (R), who has been identified as one of the 10 state lawmakers opposing the debate to remove the Confederate flag from the Capitol grounds, told a CNN reporter that "we'd have had less funerals," if the victims had the "means of self-defense."

"We're focusing on the wrong thing here. We need to be focusing on the nine families that are left and see that this doesn't happen again," Chumley told CNN reporter Drew Griffin. "These people sat in there, waited their turn to be shot. That's sad. But somebody in there with the means of self defense could have stopped this. And we'd have had less funerals than we're having."

An obviously astonished Griffin responded, "You're turning this into a gun debate?"

"You said 'guns,'" Chumley went on. "Why didn't somebody, why didn't somebody just do something? I mean, uh, you've got one skinny person shootin' a gun, you know I mean, we need to take, and do what we can."

"Are you asking that these people should have tackled him, these women should have fought him?" Griffin asked, once again seeking clarity.

"I don't know what, I don't know what the answer was," the lawmaker responded. "But I know it's really horrible for nine people to be shot and I understand that [Dylann Roff] reloaded his gun during the process. That's upsetting."

probably the racism topic since william chumley is most likely a racist

[smeags]

how can anyone defend this party when time after time this kind of shtein comes out of the mouths of these dopes. yes. i'm a republican but i would be considered a RINO by the GOP because i think people like this dickhead, and there's way too many of them, should catch aids and die in the hopes of stopping a long line of stupid.
