In ancient times the Carthaginian civilization, a large and mighty commercial empire, used to sacrifice children to court favor from the god Ba'al Hammon and his consort Tanit.

For all their business acumen, they were, like all ancients, largely ignorant of nature and superstitious as a result. What I wonder is : what is America's excuse for their ongoing child sacrifice problem at the altar of the NRA?

If the ban hammer falls on Nareed for dropping an F bomb, hopefully it will land on you too for your personal insult against HER.


I really don't get why EB and AZ always feel compelled to insult Nareed
Really sad that EB and AZ cant conduct themselves as adults and properly address a member rather then insulting

Do you think they might support the Orange Caligula?

I am not trying to defend school shootings but as it seems with all most all news now your article is massaged by the writers of the report. If you actually read it you find that it includes suicides, accidental discharge of a firearm, incidents in which no one was hurt and and possibly no intent to actually shoot anyone as well as actual attacks.

None of the above are good things but to equate those other types of incidents with a mass killing does a disservice to your cause.

So does blaming the NRA.

I'm afraid your great Nation beat the UK on this stat. We had 15 killed in a mass school shooting in 1996.
Wikipedia has to go back to 61AD to get a half decent list of UK massacres (not all shootings)

I'm not going to get into the gun's / anti-guns argument in the USA.
I'll just say that I'm happy to live in a nation where no-one I know has ever held a handgun* or a semi or fully automatic weapon, except one guy who played with one on a visit to Vegas.... Oh, and my dad had a tommy gun to defend his truck in WW2. He said he couldn't hit a barn and never fired at a living target anyway.

I do. What's that fable about the scorpion and the frog?

Oh, you know how the snowflakes melt when denied a safe space for the impotent expression of their prejudice.
