This is a normal post Someone exchanged gunfire with him on his way in to the club.
So your "If only we all had guns!!" logic doesn't really hold true.

Maybe the guy who exchanged gunfire didn't have a high calibre gun like the other guy though, so maybe you all need BIGGER GUNS.

So where does it all end? You all drive around in tanks? Then someone will get a bigger tank, and it will all start again.

This is a normal post First I heard that someone exchanged gunfire with him. Did they shoot at him out of the blue, or because he looked threatening?
Actually, the reports say he shot the armed security guard in front of the club. Then he held unarmed hostages for four hours, slowly killing them at will.

How you couldn't have heard about him exchanging gunfire at the entrance is beyond me, i think you pick the stuff that backs up your opinions and ignore everything else.

Nice tank, by the way.

This is a normal post Well, this is exactly what I said, right? He shot the armed security guard (an off duty police officer)
He shot a bunch of people, then the cops showed up. He shot at the cops, then he holed up with unarmed hostages. And an AR15 is not an "automatic rifle".

I suspect if he had been an anti abortion nutter who threw dynamite into a club full of abortionists we would be speaking of hate and larger zones of protection rather than dynamite control.

I bought the tank to match my shorts.

*supplies evidence that someone had a gun and exchanged gunfire with him (doesn't matter if they were in the club or outside, by your logic a man with a gun can stop a man with a gun - hence you wanting everyone to have guns)*

This is a normal post I think AK-47s are illegal in France, yet that didn't really stop anything did it?
And with the voter registration drive at the southern border, narco, sex slave and arms traffickers are having a field day (I'm not even mentioning the arms sent by the current administration to Mexico, resulting in the death of at least one federal agent and thousands of Mexicans - that was supposed to make guns look bad). I know of no other country so negligent with their own borders. Maybe Europe...

When people speak of the muslims, they say, "we can't generalize for political advantage", but don't seem to have the same muzzle for their anti-gun rules.

And neither the laws on the books, nor the laws that the president recommends would have stopped this nutcase. Only left more law abiding people without a means to defend themselves.

As I recall, the KKK was founded to stop Irish immigrants, then Catholics, then moved to blacks as a last resort. As for evangelicals, there are so many different sects, but none have it as part of their creed to kill the non believer. Maybe you don't see the same problem I do, but the statistics are pretty grim.

This is a normal post Not quite. Those figures are for whether it is morally wrong. The C4 documentary was specifically about it being legal.
Overall for the British public the attitude is only 5% of Brits believe being gay should be illegal. Compared to 52% of British muslims. That's quite a disparity in attitudes.

Which is why it is baffling why people like Owen Jones are so keen to jump to the defense of people who want to criminalise them because of who they love.

This is a normal post there is a bigger problem in the wider "liberal communities"
one of the "tenets" of liberalism is to respect others beliefs and to not get shitty with people whose beliefs contrast yours...

so freedom of religion tends to get a "pass" from liberal people...

however, most religions are fiercely "ANTI-liberal" so it's an odd situation, it's a bit like throwing a party for people and man eating lions, and arguing that "the lions should be allowed in... even if they want to destroy me and everything about me"

now that's fucking retarded, liberals should be AGAINST religion as it's fiercely anti-liberal.

There has been a complete liberal pandering to islam, when the fact is, it's a religion, those are retarded and outdated, and leads to shit like this...

I consider myself a liberal, support peoples right to fuck who they want, and do mostly what they want... but religion is the exception... it's anti-me, so i'm anti- it.

This is a normal post Reckon he did what he did because he couldnt score there or on the apps?
No-one has come forward saying they had a liason with him, maybe he was annoyed that his wanted 'relationship' wasnt as easy to get as he either imagined or, as easy as getting a woman through his religion seems to be?

I realise it's probably a cooky website, but people that were there and survived are saying there was more than 1 shooter. Dunno how much truth there is in that considering some people are saying they didn't know what was going on as the music was so loud.

This is a normal post the thing is
it's never going to get any better than a "choose your own adventure book" which basically mounts down to "how many times can you read a book wrongly, before you get it right".

Truly interactive storytelling is only possible through human improvisation... and that's when it becomes something more than a frustrating "error your way through this narrative"

This is a normal post But it's not just press the wrong button until you find the right one
they're providing interesting variations and alternative outcomes, all with delicious visuals. If it's cheap I'll happily waste a few hours seeing what it offers
(, Tue 14 Jun 2016, 10:28, , Reply)
This is a normal post so are you going to play it over and over and over again?
because otherwise you are going to be paying for an awful lot of content that your variations and choices will never lead too...

Games are great for interactivity, and occasionally the narrative aint bad...

movies are great for narrative and a wonderful sensory overload of staring at "stories"

I see no need to combine these two.... personally speaking of course.

This is a normal post Yeah the problem is the game starts to grow exponentially as you provide the player more choices with unique outcomes
So the game eventually has to merge outcomes which feels hollow and unsatisfying. Not to mention that it's such a curated experience that no solution you find ever feels novel.

When Vimeo's embedded player would never play more than a couple of seconds of video before pausing to buffer, even on the fastest connections. It seems better these days.

This is a normal post Totally different from when I was there
In 1971...

Was there while still in the US Navy, a quick bit of "Rest and Relaxation" - we found a new hotel that had just opened and had plenty of vacancies. It was 4.5 Star quality and not expensive, great food and views. Probably torn down by now. It was an interesting city to visit as a 21 year old.
