With our country at war since 2003 and all of the women and children who have been killed (collateral damage), we have lost our moral compass and are completely desenstized to violence.. we expect this stuff to happen.

The Churches are quiet, instead focusing on women's issues..

As a country we are completely desensitized to violence.. we have come to expect it.

So true.

I live in Lowell and I actually justify the stabbings that seem to happen every other weekend saying "At least the guy/girl wasn't shot."

You and I know that the USA is the most violent place on earth.

Do you think it could be because of the size of our population, coupled with the level of freedom guaranteed to us and the cut throat quality of our economic and social systems?

When you allow 50 million babies to be killed over 40 years and call it choice. it does desensitize the society to violence.

Dr. Leo Alexander, Chief U.S. Medical Consultant at the Nuremberg War Crimes Trials confirmed that...

"Whatever proportions these crimes finally assumed, it became evident to all who investigated them that they had started from small beginnings.

"The beginnings at first were merely a subtle shift in emphasis in the basic attitude of physicians.

"The infinitely small wedge-in lever from which this entire trend of mind received its impetus, was the attitude toward the non-rehabilitable sick."

Once the physician or professor murdered his first innocent patient, Alexander declared, he entered the ranks of the criminal class and was bonded by blood cement to the ruling party.

Quote:
The meta-analysis of 22 major abortion studies found that women who delivered an unplanned pregnancy were significantly less likely to have mental health problems than similar women who aborted unplanned pregnancies.

Women with a history of abortion were 55 percent more likely to have mental health problems than women who did not abort an unplanned pregnancy.

Using a standardized statistical technique for combining the results of multiple studies, the meta-analysis revealed that women with a history of abortion face higher rates of anxiety (34 percent higher) and depression (37 percent higher), heavier alcohol use (110 percent higher) and marijuana use (230 percent higher), and higher rates of suicidal behavior (155 percent higher).

Please stop hijacking threads about murder and turning them into threads about abortion. Everybody doesn't have your bumper sticker.

If it's not okay for the rank and file to hijack threads, it should be that much more off-limits for a mod. It should not be "okay" for a mod just because he knows he acts with impunity.

Start another abortion thread and discuss the theater shooting here, if you have something to say about it.

Didja ever see the guy who drives around in a car with ban abortion signs all over his car, yea the same guy who pickets Planned Parenthood every day..

Sometimes he has rosary beads around his neck, other times he walks the streets with a cross..

Incapable of a discussion, as he is of single focus..

I agree PFnVA.

13 - there are two threads regarding that topic going on, or at the very least, that is the topic being discussed.
