Divorce rates are around 50% for both conservatives and liberals.


No doubt, but a divorce does imply that a marriage took place, and that there is a known father for any children who resulted from the marriage before it broke apart, and that father is still involved in the children's lives.

What I was referencing is the overwhelming illegitimacy rate in modern day America, where not only is there not a father in the home, in most instances the father is unknown, and if known, is completely uninvolved with the child.

This would morph into a long winded discussion, but I think that the 'progressive' idea of devaluing the importance of the nuclear family in the development of the next generation is a prime cause of the societal problems we have today.

The culture of schools and how children are raised in America is the issue. Kids aren't disciplined, they aren't taught basic values, they don't know how to handle failure, they don't know how to respect. Adults have failed children in America. We can thank the fruits of decades of leftist ideologies infecting our schools for the problems we have today.


Couldn’t have said it better

I don't know if you have seen the interviews but they have been interviewing some of the kids from the school and they are all incredibly well spoken, composed and determined to overcome.

I don't know why blaming the left is being done on this occasion, especially since the shooter was a member of a right wing nationalist organization.

When it comes to gun laws/regulations, I'm a strict scrutiny standard guy, the 2nd Amendment's very clear, you lawyers and law students will know what that means

We can thank the alt- rightists and the gun worshiping and easy to buy assault weapons as a part of the problem. Most of the mass murderers seem to be right leaning psychopaths.


Your assertion is inaccurate.

Here's a list of the deadliest (somewhat) recent mass shootings.

Mental illness / Anger

Sutherland Springs church shooting 2017
Umpqua Community College shooting 2015
Isla Vista killings 2014
Washington Navy Yard shooting 2013
Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting 2012
Aurora shooting 2012
Binghamton shootings 2009
Geneva County massacre 2009
Virginia Tech shooting 2007
Red Lake shootings 2005
Columbine High School massacre 1999
Luby's shooting 1991
GMAC shootings 1990
Edmond post office shooting 1986
San Ysidro McDonald's massacre 1984
Wilkes-Barre shootings 1982
University of Texas tower shooting 1966

Left-wing nut job

Burnette Chapel shooting 2017
Republican Congressmen shooting 2017
Dallas police shooting 2016
Baton Rouge police shooting 2016

Right-wing nut job

Charleston church shooting 2015
Overland Park Jewish Community Center shooting 2014
Wisconsin Sikh temple shooting 2012
Knoxville Unitarian Universalist church shooting 2012

Islam

Orlando nightclub shooting 2016
San Bernardino attack 2015
Fort Hood shooting 2009

Questionable

Las Vegas shooting 2017


This list is by no means definitive, but I believe it provides a good snapshot. The majority of mass murderers have mental problems. If you combine all ideologies (left, right, islam), it is still less than shootings attributed to mental illness.

And to think government run schools are what they want our hospitals to look like.

Oh look, another appeal to emotion. Because making decisions based on emotion always ends up with good results.

Just be a man and admit you don't give two shits about Constitutional law.

Everyone needs to know that this guy wished another poster would get shot in his class because the guy said he didn’t support gun confiscation.

Cool man, just as long as it’s not mentally ill types having easy access to weapons, that would be bad.

I keep seeing people touting all of the GOP in the White House and in the Senate and in the House and in the majority of Governors' Mansions and maps full of red.

When you say "government run" you mean those, right?
