| Umbreon 02/15/18 1:04:45 PM #411 | Does that turn it into a numbers game though? "Homicides decreasing" is nice, but is the same true for the amount of people dying? To put it simply, imagine if there was one homicide a day for the year of 2002. One person died each time for a total of 356 deaths. Now imagine if "only" 100 homicides happened in 2016. But 10 people died each time. There were technically less homicides, but more people still died. Or maybe I'm getting the legal definition of Homicide wrong? If killing multiple people in one instance all count as their own separate homicide and the end result is technically less people dying.... Though in the end, statistics only help so much. If there was a 1% chance of your child being killed, all the statistics in the world wouldn't matter to you if you were the one who got a knock on your door, being told your child passed away. Removing emotion to an extent I'd important, but it cannot be removed entirely. Doing so goes against the very thing that makes us human. --- |

I don't see how that's totally relevant. Mass shootings such as these appear to be increasing. Unless your argument is "Across the country, less people are being shot overall". In which case... there are still far too many of these instances happening for us to just shurg off. --- |

| Umbreon 02/04/18 4:17:25 PM #40 | Ulti is kind of like a creature that feeds off of hate. Even if he does or says something deserving of it, nothing positive is accomplished by giving it to him. Pity is a better thing to give, and even that is probably giving him too much. If one nerd wants to pretend he isn't by mocking others, let him. It's not like intentionally antagonizing other people on the internet is considered attractive anyway. --- |

They're often the people who have trouble expressing themselves. They tend to be hostile, yet also wonder why people don't want to talk to them. It doesn't take much to "tell it like it is". Small children do it all the time. Well... providing they aren't in trouble for anything. --- |

| Topic | Cops shot unarmed 16 year old in court. |
| Umbreon 01/22/18 6:53:16 PM #283 | Well first off, my argument isn't about taking guns away from the police entirely.... I do agree with another user however that taking a loaded gun in a courtroom seems odd upon reflection. The people on trial are inspected prior to ensure they aren't hiding any secret weapon, aren't they? And everyone else has to go through a metal detector. Yes it's possible to win the lottery. But the chances of the cop accidentally shooting the wrong person is signifigantly higher. Especially with his apparent lack of training involved. You say that the cop doing anything else besides shooting would be a gamble. I say shooting in that situation was itself a gamble. The upsetting thing is that if the cop DID accidentally shoot someone else, they are very unlikely to receive any reprimand for it. It seems like shooting is the first resort taken more often than not. Is there not a better way? I'm also curious how long this fight lasted because it feels like no one jumped in to stop it from going any further. --- |

I don't think getting jumped by multiple people counts as a simple scuffle True, but is there actual confirmation on how many were involved? Different articles say different things, so it's hard to tell. If it was just the mother originally though, it beings up some questions. Another thing... where was security? Or was the cop considered the lone security? You'd think there would have been someone to back him up. --- |

How would this play out if that occurred instead? Threatened or not, the cop took a massive risk. It's very possible there was a better way of safely dealing with the situation. Granted if he sustained so much injury from a simple scuffle, the cop should rethink their line of work. --- |

| Topic | 22 year old social influencer tries for a free hotel room, owner shuts her down |
| Umbreon 01/21/18 4:28:38 PM #112 | So if I tell all my FB friends to give business to a hotel and to tell all their friends to do the same, I would be worthy of a free room? I'm sure some of my friends has several hundred people added. What's the magic number of people following your internet profile until you are 'worthy" of free room and board? Course this is ignoring her giving out a super generic email, indicating she didn't really care who responded. So what are the chances she really makes an effort in "selling" the hotel to her followers who likely don't care in the first place? There is value in social media, but it depends on the people involved. Her actions demonstrates that her value was pretty low. --- |

| Umbreon 01/21/18 12:52:04 PM #66 | masticatingman posted... Did anybody here automatically siding with the hotel actually bother to read the post with the emails? She was professional and polite in how she broached the subject and the response email was snarky and full of it from the start. She was begging for something. That automatically disqualifies it from being "polite" or professional. The fact that she thought her "exposure" was more valuable than her paying for a service was pure arrogance. Especially since this was Universal Studios, they already are on the map. What was this small fry blogger going to do? Especially since most of her followers are probably just horny men who don't care about the content she makes. Was the hotels response a little abrasive? Sure. But anyone who's played an MMO can tell you how annoying beggers can get after a while. --- |

If you are sincere, then not only do you think so little of women that you think that they as a whole are irrelevant when it comes to speaking out, but something in your life must have convinced you that a majority of women would make up a movement solely to demonize men they've never met, nor will likely ever meet.
