PMSNBC? Do explain what that is.

It is a satirical comment about how cable "news" channel MSNBC has a Pre Menstrual Syndrome hormonal influence. Thank you for asking.

Ahhh, so you dismiss a complaint of sexism with a sexist comment.

I call Lewis's Law.

In case you haven't noticed it yet, but pretty much every guy that goes on a rampage is white and is male. Making that observation is not bigotry or self hate.

They also have autism so we know what must be done for the good of the people.

Some do indeed, though not all of them.

Statistically speaking though, people with autism are more likely to be the victim of violence rather than the ones that cause violence.

Your agenda is showing.


Elliot Rodger's California shooting spree: further proof that misogyny kills

Attributing the rampage in Isla Vista to 'a madman' ignores a stark truth about our society
That is your agenda others are blaming autism. Are we having fun yet. Let's have a battle of the blogs; this is like quoting Fox News or PMSNBC, it makes the eccentric fringe feel good the facts be damned.

No one is blaming autism (well, you kinda were). Even so, Autism doesn't make you violent, it just makes it difficult for people to pick on social cues, resulting in 'weird' behavior. For it to turn into violent behavior, there needs to be a trigger, something that pushes someone so far into a certain direction that they become violent. In this kids case it was quite clearly the fact that he felt entitled to lots of sex but never got any. And to make matters worse, he hung out on all these nice MRA/misogynistic/racist sites on the internet. He was part of an extremely misogynistic subculture and to overlook that fact because it shatters your illusion that misogyny does not exist in society, is downright idiotic.

Autistic people don't kill people, misogynists with guns kill people. Actually, misogynists without guns kill people too, they are just less effective.

How about we don't give everyone guns? Just a thought here guys!

Adam Lanza who killed 20 children had autism. Twist that around to fit your agenda.

I'm sure 100's of thousand's (or more), in the US, have Autism.

I was only pointing out the agenda of another poster. What makes you think I care one way or the other?

Adam Lanza is far from the only guy to grab a gun and start rampaging around. Before Sandy Hooks, there was Aurora, before Aurora there were a whole bunch of others. How many of those had Autism.

You would have a stronger case if you said people who are on happy pills kill people.

They all had a screw lose as none of them did it for profit or ideological reasons. Those with an agenda will find a reason that fits it and run with it. One of the victims father is actually enjoying his 15 minutes of fame. He can't stop smiling.

From what I've seen of his postings recently, he would fit in well with particular misfits from 1939-45.

Just what has Godwin's Law got to do with labelling some idiots misfits?

The misfits I was referring to were the idiots still living with the military thoughts of 1914-1918.

I mean, what a waste of life, those officers needed shooting! Riding into combat on horseback against tanks & machine guns. WWII was a mechanised war not trench warfare.

Whenever a post goes against you, you state that they have an agenda.

Can't you abide the fact that many can think for themselves & reply as they see it just as you posted it without an agenda - or do YOU in fact have an agenda?

As far as I know the only army in WW2 still using traditional cavalry were the Polish and they did not charge tanks while riding their horses. That is a myth created by the Germans and later also Soviets who used it as propaganda.

Also, the German army mostly used horses for troop and supply transport. Fuel was to sparse to be spend on trucks.

Intelligence services & senior officers were still thinking along the lines of 1914-18

Miss Teen USA Cassidy Wolf

had her privacy violated by Jared James Abrahams; Abrahams hacked into her and several other women's computers and gained control of the web cam. He then sent the victims nude pictures of themselves and threatened to post them to their social web pages unless they did a Skype show doing everything he asked.

The guy was a loner who had difficulty in social situations especially with women. People will scream misogynistic wile ignoring the real problem.

Jared James Abrahams, Autistic Hacker, Cops to "Sextortion" of Miss Teen USA and Others. Oh my what to do, what to do?
