Notre Dame just beat Georgia. Why so angry. Nobody said they believe it and are making life decisions based upon on it. You’re like an older crotchety version of Toronto.

This is a solid counter point.

Bravo young man! Keep those feet on the ground and keep reaching for them stars!

Both of the terrorists were former military, one born and breed in gun crazy Texas, the other a right wing nut job and former green beret. Culture! Yeah!

I have a serious question for you. This is the second mention by you that I've seen where you've suggested the New Orleans attacker was primarily motivated by Texas gun culture. Given that he was a Muslim, had an ISIS flag in his truck, and very shortly before the attack had posted that he wanted to bring attention to the war between the believers and non-believers and pledging his allegiance to ISIS, do you really think it was that Texas gun culture that motivated him, or radical Islamic culture?

Let’s see. This would apply to broader right wing “culture” including Texas.

Pump the idea that serving in the military is some righteous task where only glory awaits? Check

Take extreme positions based on religious beliefs? Check

The fetishization of and ready availability of guns and the advocation of violence as a practical solution to problems? Check

Someone having a mental health crisis/whose life is falling apart? Good luck my man!

With such a mix is it surprising that someone be they Muslim who served in the military or a former green beret who supports Trump committed these acts? Not really.

Now, of course there’s more to it than that but the fact of the matter is American males are by far the worst offenders when it comes to these types of crimes when compared to all of the other developed nations in the world.

Culture?

In my opinion Michael Moore did a good job of examining this in Bowling for Columbine.

And McVeigh wasn't a radicalized Muslim pledging allegiance to ISIS and with an ISIS flag with him during his attack. Jabbar was. They're completely separate incidents. You're trying to spin a blatantly dishonest narrative. But then again, as I said, at least you're consistent.

It’s okay to lump all MAGA supporters as the same, but how dare you think all radical Muslim’s are the same.

The MAGA and Muslim extremist alliance apparently. It’s the culture. I did wake up and feel a little extremey the other day. Took some horse dewormer and felt okay after a few minutes.

That’s why the Cheney’s flipped. Muslims got in.

Exactly.

He was a good old fashion American right winger. People from that particular cultural background have a pretty good track record of blowing shit up and shooting people at random over the last couple decades.

Culture!

Trump is a big fan of the Saudis who bankrolled both Isis and Al Qaeda.

Maybe you’re finally onto something?

Comments in the Daily Mail post are as expected: lots of inappropriate individuals from the last administration.

So, Kapernick gets run out of the NFL for not standing for the national anthem. Ok fine.

Meanwhile in the UFC…

Dana White is a pretty pure Free Speech absolutist (I think to his detriment... but it seems to be working out for him so far). I'm sure if he had a fighter say that Mao did nothing wrong and the guy at Tiannamen Square deserved it, he would still be getting a paycheck too.

No he’s not.

I was just discussing this with my buddy who grew up in San Luis Obispo, has a black belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, works in the entertainment industry and knows Chuck Lidell and a bunch of other fighters.

He told me “Over the past couple years the ufc ppvs have been hardcore trump propaganda too. Trump goes to the events and they put crazy fake cheers when he enters the arena. He tells his fighters they can’t say anything bad about trump. It’s a big Ad. So dumb”.

To the rest of your post. Maybe.
