If it seems to you like there are more and more mass shootings you need not worry. There are. There is also a growing body of evidence that this is a contagious activity. One mass murder may prompt someone to do the same thing, and so on. One idea being discussed is no notoriety. A voluntary press ban on publishing the name or picture or the manifesto of any of these killers. We routinely with hold the names of juveniles and victims and so forth, so it really isn't that big a leap. We need to establish that a mass murder does not automatically make you famous.

You know you’re a communist when you want to start telling press what they can broadcast or write.

I vote for freedom of the market. Let them print whatever they want you fuking communist.

This is how all communist countries start. They justify regulation in the same way you are now Hold.

I really hate it when people make false assumptions about stuff like this.

First of all, there is no evidence for why making one small change like this would lead to the US of mothafukken A into turning into a communist country lol


Secondly, why can't you just argue the merits of the existing policy without making hyperbolic assumptions?


The real question is - what's worse?

Making this one change or leaving it is as is?


Please stop funnelling every problem into your binary mental framework.

It's dumb.

Infamous is the word you wanted I think. However hundreds of mass murderers are now famous and hold the esteem of millions of Americans for crimes like vapouizing entire city blocks and carnage and butchery beyond belief. Mass murdering criminals like Obama and Bush will adorn american currency one day. There is no nation that loves its mass murderers like that sick twisted nation.

How and where did that contagion get roots in America. It's a matter of state policy and education.

Celebrating Gaddafi’s Dream Amid An American Nightmare

Few Americans have any understanding of what happened to Libya six years ago. Even fewer know the significance of what is taking place there now. The US-led war on Libya was erased from historical memory before it reached popular consciousness. To remember Libya and more specifically Gaddafi’s dream is to remember the destruction of an African revolution. This African revolution possessed many attributes that struggling people in the US, especially the poor, would admire.
Last October marked the sixth anniversary of the brutal assassination of Col. Muammar Gaddafi, Libya’s adored architect of the “Jamahiriya” or state of the masses. The assassination was conducted by NATO-backed “rebels” fully loyal to the notion of waging jihad on the socialist Arab republic. Libya was Barack Obama’s war. The “first Black President” enthusiastically promoted lies about the Libyan leader in preparation for the invasion. He called Gaddafi a dictator, a strongman, and a mass murderer of his own people. US military forces collaborated with the media to spread rumors that Gaddafi had deployed soldiers armed with Viagra to rape women and children. Like the war on Afghanistan and Iraq, everything said about Gaddafi and Libya ended up being a lie. There were no massacres led by Gaddafi. In fact, NATO-backed “rebels” were found to have committed the most heinous crimes against the populace imaginable.
