#83 Donald Trump in World Events

I don't support Trump or anyone at this point but one thing I will say is that it is refreshing as shit to hear a political figure say things and not worry about being politically correct all the fucking time.

Trumps appeal comes in the fact that he is not completely tied to political favors and outside money to influence his opinions and views. He isn't forced to say something a PC way to keep a big financial supporter happy. He just says whatever the hell is on his mind. I can respect that but if he gets elected, he needs to followup on his promises unlike what Obama has done the past 8 years.

#106 Shooting at the Inland Regional Center in Off Topic
BonafideSpaceCadet.Many other countries banned all guns and enforced it strictly, or you're only allowed to own one with license without ammunition. It worked for them, so why does the US feel so special and entitled to their guns who kill more people by accidents than you soldiers do in an actual war?
People of all age groups are significantly more likely to die from unintentional firearm injuries when they live in states with more guns, relative to states with fewer guns. On average, states with the highest gun levels had nine times the rate of unintentional firearms deaths compared to states with the lowest gun levels

The best answer to your question is that our country is not like these others you have mentioned. (Denmark and Sweden I think?) Those countries are very much smaller than the USA and have a VASTLY different cultural history. I happen to feel that my country IS special when compared to all others.

We have a proud firearms culture in this country that spans generations. Perhaps you cannot relate to that history, and that is ok by me, but know that it is not one easily cast aside because someone says "Gun are bad".

I believe you need to take the culture of a people into account before you can say a blanket statement like the one you said. "Banning all guns" will never be a reality in this country. It will never be accepted here in the USA. You can choose to disagree with that if you like, it doesn't change the fact.

My opinion is that both sides of the gun control debate are totally unreasonable and that is why they cannot find a middle ground and agree on very small and basic changes that benefit both groups and the country at large. Both groups are afraid to take their foot of the gas pedal because it could be interpreted as a "show of weakness" by the other. Both are scared it will be the end of their agendas if they show weakness.

When both sides of the gun control debate speak about their agenda, they do so with such passion that they take individual examples and situations to the utmost extreme. Doing that makes the other side immediately shut down and get defensive, therefore ending civil communication. No common ground is found and another stalemate ensues.

I am personally pro-gun but I disagree on a lot of the things the NRA pushes and says. I disagree because the extremes they go to in order to make a point are mostly always the "worst case scenario". The same thing can be said for the anti-gun advocates in this country. To just come and flat out say things like "we need to take all guns away from everyone" is another insane extreme and never going to be a reality.

When shit like this happens it is unpredictable and random to the general population. Gun laws will not stop these situations. In those moments you cannot rely on prayers, god, the government, the military or the police to save you or the people you love. I have lived life since my early 20's training and trying to be as prepared as I can possibly be for the unexpected when I am in public. For that reason, I legally carry 24/7 and refuse be the individual hiding under a desk waiting for my turn to die. Sorry if that is to abrasive to read or comprehend. It may be almost impossible for foreigners to understand but that is reality as I see it. More armed citizens who are responsible gun owners will have a positive impact and save lives.

I truly hope these attacks end but it may not be any time soon. Even if something does happen near me, I may still die even though I am armed, but at least I will have the option to save my own ass if I am better than the other guy.

DamnEasyWhy do americans hate cops? In europe, atleast in the netherlands people actually feel protected by cops lol

If you walk around and just watch programs on any of the major news channels it will focus on a minority of people who happen to get TV ratings when they are put in the spotlight. Someone once described it as "shock news" to elicit a reaction and get more ppl interested and increased viewers.

Americans do not hate our Police Officers. The news outlets will very rarely report on the 95% of incredibly brave and good things police officers do for us on a daily basis. Instead they will focus on some bad apples and the other 5% of negative police action. Being a police officer today is not an easy job and 1 mistake can be your last. Between fighting domestic terrorism and lone gunmen looking to make a name for themselves by murdering a cop, you have to take it all into account before you bash police officers.

Why? TV ratings and money. Everything in this country eventually boils down to the almighty dollar. Don't let yourself be fooled.

#90 Games you played as a kid in Off Topic
ShiftaAge of empires, age of mythology, diablo 1 and 2, thps 2 and 4, pharaoh, caesar 2 and 3, lego island, colonisation, rescue rover, total annihilation, c&c red alert, sim city 2000, sim ant, many shitty flash games and f2p mmos. Crash bandicoot 1 and 3, crash team racing, Alex kidd in miracle world, super Mario land, so many pokemon games. Too many overall

Caesar 3 was an insane game. Stopping the British Barbarians in the final missions was so intense and hard it made the game great.

Going to show my age on this one. Most likely few of you ever even heard of this gaming console. I used to play Vectrex for god knows how many hours every day.

Then I got my first computer a Commodore 64 and the gaming intensified. :)
I still have the computer in storage because I might want to play the best D&D games ever made all over again.

#20 Turkey shoots down russian fighter jet in Off Topic
MapleMy guess is Russia's testing the waters. Turkey previously warned Russia to stay out of their airspace after a couple of infringements, and Russia wanted to know whether Turkey/NATO was bluffing. While this isn't going to be good for Russia/Western relations, it's not going to mean T-14s rolling across Fulda Gap.

I am sure the Leopard 2A7's will have something to say to those T-14's if they try.
