Another church mass killing

[donquixote99]

What you all don't get about whell is he actually doesn't care if he's right or not. I mean, he'd like to be right, but it's far from the main thing. The main thing is to throw stuff, whatever he's got, good or bad, just keep throwing. If he keeps doing that he can hope for a hit once in a while. He lives for that. Meanwhile, he gives himself a point for each throw.

And just getting any response is worth a couple points, in his mind. All responses reinforce his 'throwing' behavior. Including this one.

Of course, if he got $.50 a post, that would also produce the observed behavior. He's got some payoff, though, either 'points' or pennies.

Heh...

Yup, freedom to kill at a drop of the hat and freedom to buy all the unnecessary crap you can stomach.....that's what freedom means here in the US, because other than that, we have no more "freedom" than any other country on the planet. Like everyone else, we're only as free as our ruling class allows us to be.

And voting...what a ruse...what a pathetic crock. Voting in this country means nothing cause it's all rigged.

I actually believe he believes what he says. Hell, 1/3 of Americans are still all in with their Dear Leader and will believe any drivel that Fox, talk radio, and far-right websites tell them to believe. Dude doesn't have an original thought. What else would you expect from an HR guy, whose job description is "how can I not be of service while avoiding all meaningful work?"

He works the best angles he can come up with, so I figure he knows when he's got a point, and when he doesn't. So the fact that he keeps throwing when the doesn't means something like what I suggested is going on. He may basically be a true believer, and believe he is battling for the cause. Or he may just groove on the battle with no real ideological motive. I don't know.

Being an HR guy, the most work-averse creature in an organization whose job it is make excuses for not helping you, makes him an easy mark for Trump's special brand of nihilistic incompetence. Fits him like a glove.

Whell’s an HR guy? That has to be the least aspirational job imaginable. I mean, have you ever heard any kid say she wants to be an HR (whatever their titles are) when she grows up?

We all know just how much “help” HR was to the poor Fox “News” victims of the slime balls there. They knew it was pointless to report anything to HR, just as we all know how useless they are.

The point of the bump stock and Terrorist Watch List references were equally clear - Trump and the GOP simply don't want to do anything about gun violence. They'll blame mental illness or terrorism for gun violence (or bump stocks for the horrific body count in Vegas), but won't do anything to keep guns out of the hands of the mentally ill or terrorists or to outlaw bump stocks.

You truly are a mental midget, Whell, willing to parrot any ridiculous or inane right-wing talking points. You're hopelessly ignorant, just like your Dear Leader. Little wonder you'll defend anything and everything that moron does.

You're squealing like a stuck pig now. You posted that NBC article in a thread about the Texas shooting yesterday, then when pressed about why you posted it, you said "It might not have prevented the murders yesterday. Now you're saying that you never said it. I guess I don't blame you for wanting to change the subject to bump stocks - which were not used yesterday - and the GOP and Trump, like the one trick pony that you are.

You ran out of anything useful to say long ago. As if to prove that point, you want to talk about me and the HR profession. You're truly one of a kind...thankfully.

Really? Wow. How many points did you get for this post? Any whole number would probably be too many.

whell, by now you must be pretty used to conspiracy theories.

On the topic of this mass killing, good guy with a gun vs the bad guy seems to be taking hold and quickly deflecting the underlying problem. NRA to the rescue once again and gun sales will be going up since good guys will want to be better armed next time.
