Stingrays aren't typically a dangerous animal, and he had no reason to expect it to attack him like it did because they would rather run away than try and fight something. Loose cables across walkways aren't typically dangerous but if you trip over one and crack your skull and die, the building is still liable having acted recklessly because they did not deal with the risk. He took undue risk. helIy posted... Also, Steve Irwin was a treasure. What, exactly, did these dudes do So that makes him above reproach? I don't think it's good to treat celebrities as above us filthy plebs. helIy posted... Of course people are going to be sad that the friendly guy who just wanted to help animals and teach other people about them died, over some dude who wanted to go fast. He's some dude who wanted to dick about with potentially fatal animals. We don't let Roman Polanski get away with pedophilia just because he made films people like, status shouldn't erase bad behaviour. --- Doctor Foxx posted...

They have much wider tyres accounting for their performance and power grows significantly as the revs rise. Sports cars have stiffer bodies and suspension giving immediate response to the environment and they typically have heavy, hydraulic steering that gives tactile feedback from the road. The rigidity also improves crash safety making them safer in equal crashes. --- Doctor Foxx posted... The demonizing of soy has a lot to do with xenophobic ideas. |

Honestly though while paedophiles and child molesters are different they are both scum on the earth so deserve the same punishment in my eyes. I would say "get pedos help" but honestly they don't deserve the time, money and resources wasted on them when folk who actually deserve help are going without and even taking their own lifes. I'm all for helping with most mental health issues but not that kind. I imagine you consider yourself one of those people deserving help, despite pedophiles as a whole on average contributing more to society than you. --- Doctor Foxx posted...

You are "simply" taking away a large section of their life they will never get back and guaranteeing there will be nothing for them when they leave. Don't even, prison isn't "just a room", you're ignoring the brutality as is convenient and normal. GreenKnight127 posted... It went from a logical punishment......to petty vengeance and bloodthirst. There's nothing logical about imprisonment, it's all petty vengeance for the appeasement of society. The point of the law is to ensure wronged people gain suitable vengeance in a standardised way so you don't get feuding civilians escalating trouble. If vengeance is not delivered then people get restless, that's all there is. Don't be a coward, if you really feel somebody has molested a child, go all out and give them the death they deserve, don't sit on the fence and fail to deliver vengeance. We will occasionally get the wrong person, but that's the price we pay to ensure the public gets its retribution. --- Doctor Foxx posted...

There's no difference I see worth noting. 15 years of imprisonment is insanely cruel, a day of brutal torture is just a quicker way to dole it out. As far as I'm concerned, if you're willing to subject an innocent man to 15 years of prison, you should be willing to kill one or torture one. If you're not willing to do that, then you're only choosing prison so you don't have to witness their torture and take it on personally. --- Doctor Foxx posted...

You have to take into consideration that some of the people in prison are totally innocent, so perhaps stringing them all up by their balls in a public square while an audience cheers....isn't exactly the best idea? If the system isn't reasonably accurate then you can't do any penalty. If you can imprison someone for 15 years by trusting the accuracy of your judgement, you can use the same trust to torture a theoretically innocent person. --- Doctor Foxx posted...

But knows the slide would be smaller, which they would. Not knowing would be if he said something like, They cant do 10 slices or That impossible. So, it sounds like he knows... Idk why you chose to think otherwise... He said four of the slices would be smaller and the other six would not be, not that a 10 slice pizza would have smaller slices. --- Doctor Foxx posted...

If it stops them acting on their lust, it solves the problem. I still prefer firing squad. GreenKnight127 posted... That's like those guys in prison who murder their roommate because they found out he was a pedophile. And he's just sitting there with a big smile on his face in front of the judge. Everyone thinks he's a god damn hero. The comments section is like, "He should be awarded his freedom for killing a pedo!" or "the judge shoulda bought him a beer!" etc. You can't say that the justice system is right while simultaneously not allowing a prisoner to trust the judgement of the court. He killed someone who was deserving of death. The only difference between a soldier and a murderer is legal approval, and he's halfway there with approval of society. GreenKnight127 posted... How do you know it wasn't a bullshit rumor started by the guards to make the guys life hell? Think about why the guards are telling people that in the first place. They're being exposed. GreenKnight127 posted... People get wrongly convicted all the time.

They're just very costly, slow-acting and questionably effective. There's not enough cash in the US to fix these issues in even the next 10 years. _AdjI_ posted... Again, you don't need to get to zero. You're never going to get to zero. It's a nice idea, but it's just not going to happen. That doesn't mean you can't address contributing factors instead of just throwing your hands in the air and saying there's nothing you can do about it. I'm saying they're not notable contributing factors. Tackling them is like pissing on a flame. It may help a bit but it will cost you a lot of resources and you will still have a sizeable problem on your hands when you're done. _AdjI_ posted... He acted in a manner that he knew was going to make people feel scared and threatened. That's a threat. That's presenting as a threat, it's not being threatening.

| Kyuubi4269 12/30/19 2:24:21 PM #94 | _AdjI_ posted... Obviously there's some subjectivity in determining the reasonableness of a given suggestion, but this is an assessment that can very easily be conducted objectively, especially when you start getting multiple viewpoints in there. The issue is that there is no objective right answer as every person values every aspect differently, there will always be a sizeable group that feels completely infringed upon. But of course if you're the kind of person that goes "Everyone who voted Trump is literally Hitler", you're going to consider it objectively right to shit on people who disagree with you. _AdjI_ posted... Mandatory background checks on gun sales that include psych evals How do you know a sale has occurred that requires a check? Guns can change hands invisibly, they're analog items, there's no means to track them. _AdjI_ posted... mandatory waiting period on gun sales That only stops business sales, there's more than enough in circulation to trade and restore old guns without regulation. _AdjI_ posted... improved (read: any) access to mental health services Is there any evidence that mental health services has intercepted any shooting? And why would somebody who wants to shoot the public want to engage with a public service? They're a bit far gone to interact with society willingly. There's also the issue of cost and intention of the particular practitioner. It's a for-profit system, there's motivation to be predatory. _AdjI_ posted... mental health services in schools that focus on early detection and intervention If people are being stopped and segragated in schools, there's even more isolation separating them from their peers. It's also expensive so not particularly viable. _AdjI_ posted... a cultural shift toward supporting victims of bullying Good luck. That's what's needed, but that's not helping people now or anybody in the near-future so doesn't negate the need for people to be trained now to deal with a shooting. _AdjI_ posted... conflict resolution programs in high-violence areas What does that even mean? --- Doctor Foxx posted...

| Kyuubi4269 12/30/19 1:53:38 PM #38 | LinkPizza posted... It also endangers the public if they let the criminal flee. In the UK the police abandon chases when it endangers the public. It's not acceptable to create a danger to catch a criminal. In Japan, chases don't really happen, they just take down your plate and visit your house. Again, it is not okay to endanger the public, even to apprehend a suspect. _AdjI_ posted... Yes, it's not the fact that the driver is willing to run down anyone that gets in their way that makes their escape dangerous If you know they're willing to endanger the public to escape yet you will still instigate a situation where they will need to do it to escape, you have created a danger that otherwise wouldn't occur. It's not reasonable for the police to escalate risk. _AdjI_ posted... The driver has the option to stop when the cop gets in front of them (again, presuming it's not a matter of jumping out and shooting before anyone could react). If they choose to try murdering the cop instead, there's no reason that cop shouldn't shoot them. Nobody's getting murdered in a 2mph crash, but it's monumentally stupid and dangerous to throw yourself under a moving vehicle. They're trying to escape, it's up to the cop if they want to commit suicide. You don't blame lorry drivers when people commit suicide jumping under their wheels so it's not the criminal's fault if the officer tries to turn himself in to a wheel clamp. --- Doctor Foxx posted...

You'd happily wade into such an area without any sort of training I've been arguing for training this whole time, now you think you can flip it? lol I'm happy to do what I always do as I know what I need to do in an emergency. If I can deal with a rare incident when it happens and walk away from it, I'd rather not be encumbered with unnecessary heavy boots and thick clothes in the summer. _AdjI_ posted... Being able to fix the problem after it happens makes it unnecessary to go to extraordinary lengths to minimize risks, but that doesn't mean it's not a good idea to take reasonable measures to minimize the risk instead of relying on that treatment. Define "reasonable measures". To somebody who hates guns on principle alone and hates mentally ill people a gun ban and mandatory asylum for all potentially mentally ill people may seem reasonable, however people who use guns for a living or have a mental illness without being a danger, being heavily restricted is completely unreasonable. I know of no restriction you can put in place that isn't wildly unreasonable to some entirely innocent group. _AdjI_ posted... And yet we do have countries with virtually zero mass shootings. It's almost like it's not actually necessary to hit zero. Who knew? It's as though they're not the only, or even most important, factors involved in US mass shootings. The UK has free healthcare and heavily restricted gun control yet we had a school shooting once. Switzerland has guns everywhere and there's none I know of. What I see is no direct correlation between legal gun ownership, mental health services and mass shootings but some people still assume there's a neat cure-all sitting neatly between them. _AdjI_ posted... If you're trying to dismiss what this guy did as "just harmless trolling" and not "behaving in a threatening manner," you might want to choose an analogy that doesn't completely dismantle your attempted point. You devolving in to black and white thinking is a neat example of how people need to learn subtleties so they don't overreact. What he did was trolling. That doesn't make what he did harmless, but it also doesn't make it a terroristic threat. It sits in a window of greyness you're not willing to take on board. --- Doctor Foxx posted...

It is good to have that information, yes, but that does nothing to reduce the likelihood of bites in the first place. Stopping at that instead of taking further preventative measures would be foolish, so long as further preventative measures exist. People aren't worried about bites if they can be treated on the rare chance it happens. Further preventative measures do not exist, same as with shooters, so we make do with what exists instead of hunkering down and waiting for an imaginary cure-all. _AdjI_ posted... Or - bear with me here, because this is apparently really complicated - you can introduce legislation that would cut down on the number of shooters in the first place. Like? It's not like that's had much effect so far. This also isn't an and/or situation. We can do both, it would just be silly to stay defenseless and fearful while waiting for preventative measures to kick in when you can take proactive steps to minimise harm now. _AdjI_ posted... The root of the problem is that there are too many mentally unstable people with guns. There are many options for reducing the number of mentally unstable people, reducing the number of people with guns, and particularly reducing the overlap between those two groups. Mind-blowing, I know. And yet we have zero countries with no guns and no mental illness. It's not something that is remotely pragmatic to try to just eliminate outright. There will always be some guns and some mental illness and inevitably sometimes those things will cross. As long as these situations can happen, learning to protect yourself in these situations will reduce injuries and/or deaths. _AdjI_ posted... Deliberately making people feel like their lives are being threatened goes far beyond trolling. It's still trolling, just really bad trolling. Just like 28 stab wounds is assault, and it's also a fatal attack. _AdjI_ posted... It means he didn't have a case upon which to defend his actions as harmless and not intended to terrorize people. It means he had no defense valid in court, not that he didn't have a defense he personally felt was valid. He's a fucking moron and I don't really care who he is or what happened. It's still not important to how we should deal with shootings beyond being an example of how on edge it's getting the public. --- Doctor Foxx posted...

Your rapist using a condom is 1% better, not getting shot in a shooting is at least 80% better. Your analogy lacks any comparative elements. _AdjI_ posted... You would not, however, suggest that everyone should just carry anti-venom rather than avoiding areas that are known to have a high population of venomous snakes You tell them who to contact if they get bit, it's common sense and strongly recommended. _AdjI_ posted... Actual solutions prevent the bite in the first place. What's your solution to venomous snakes? They're wild animals, you could come across them anywhere in their general climate and region potentially, like mass shooters in the states. You can't just avoid large swathes of the country because you could maybe get bit and it's not practical to try to remove them all either as you don't know where they actually are at any time. Just like shooters in the US, you can only really deal with the problem as it appears as there is no practical solution in place as it stands. _AdjI_ posted... combat rolling doesn't stop the guy from shooting up a church in the first place. I just makes it less likely that said guy will kill you. Front-line harm reduction is not comparable to actually solving the problem, even if it's not a bad idea if you know you'll be facing a high risk of encountering said problem. You have no solution to shooters, and knowing what to do when a shooting occurs is going to be useful if it effects you, regardless of what protective measures are in place. You can practically get everybody informed in months and see real-world reduction in deaths, you can't just put up a "no shooters here" sign and expect to prevent them doing their acts. _AdjI_ posted... Do you honestly think the guy wasn't deliberately trying to get a rise out of somebody? I don't care what his intent was, but what you're suggesting is that it's not good to respond appropriately to threats because you want to go apeshit at trolls and take their bait. _AdjI_ posted... That he didn't think anyone would have a problem with a visibly armed guy in full body armor walking into a Walmart immediately after another guy went on a shooting spree in another Walmart? A troll being a troll doesn't need guns in faces. It's unnecessary, we have enough of that from psychos already. If people weren't reactionary, he wouldn't think he could get as "fun" a response from people. _AdjI_ posted... I'll give you a hint: He plead guilty. It really means nothing. You do in court what gets you the least punishment, his plea doesn't have any real significance and you shouldn't gauge anybody's moral compass based on their pleas in court. --- Doctor Foxx posted...

| Kyuubi4269 12/30/19 12:39:04 AM #51 | _AdjI_ posted... And combat roll or not, the issue is being shot at which a combat roll does not stop. Combat roll keeps you from getting killed, condom keeps you from getting an STD. If people can shoot at me and I am not shot, I couldn't care less. If nobody is shooting at me and I get shot, I care a lot. Dodging being shot is the primary issue, as long as I am not shot I am happy. Escaping a shooting is not equally as good as your rapist wrapping his dong lol _AdjI_ posted... The analogy's not perfect, but it works for illustrating how futile a bandaid solution this idea is. It's not just a bandaid though. It's like taking an anti-venom after a snake bite because it's far more practical than making venomous snakes extinct before you venture outside. You'd rather not get bitten, but if it only ends up hurting you superficially, you can happily live on accepting that outside risk. Dreaming_King posted... tl;dr Guy walked into a Wal-Mart with body armor and some holstered guns to do some shopping, being completely within his state law and Wal-Mart's own policy. The only problem is he did this a few days after that Wal-Mart mass shooting so people panicked and some guy with a concealed gun pulled it on him and held him at gun point until the cops came to arrest him. They charged him with making a terrorist threat and last month he plead guilty to some lesser crime. The guy who held him at gun point wasn't charged with anything. If people learned what is and is not a threat, perhaps they wouldn't overreact and we could avoid pointless conflict like this. --- Doctor Foxx posted...

It's technically better than doing nothing, but not by much and only because you've done a shit job of actually addressing the real problem at hand. It doesn't address the problem at all.

That's why I'm saying you'll get far, far more bang for your buck by actually figuring out *why* there are so many spree shooters and determining how to stop them (hint: America has a grossly disproportionate number of them and there's a very good reason for that), rather than just telling people to start combat rolling when the bullets start flying. You can find cover now, you can't fix America's social, mental and economic issues this decade. --- Doctor Foxx posted... The demonizing of soy has a lot to do with xenophobic ideas. |

No. Move slowly and traffic should be able to avoid your bumper comfortably or have sufficient time seeing your bumper emerge to stop in reasonable time. --- Doctor Foxx posted...

If they can't do either then they were acting dangerously, not only by jumping in to danger, but also by making the criminal potentially lose control having to deal with an officer on the windscreen or under a wheel, endangering the public. Vehicles can be tracked, other officers can pursue. The officer should take down details and get the force on it ASAP, not try to take lives and endanger the public needlessly. It's not worth sacrificing the public to catch a criminal, the damage of the chase shouldn't exceed the danger of the criminal. --- Doctor Foxx posted...

| Topic | The White Settlement shooting shows why everyone needs to take combat training |
| Kyuubi4269 12/29/19 9:17:07 PM #26 | darkknight109 posted... Saying that all Americans should be combat trained to help react to mass shooters is a bit like saying that all children should be keeping condoms in their backpack to help deal with child molesters - it is technically something that will decrease the damage done, but is still dodging the fundamental problem at hand. It's more like teaching children how to find escape routes quickly. It doesn't stop child molesters trying to do their thing but at least some children might get lucky and escape raping. Your condom analogy makes no sense as STDs are the last thing on your mind when getting molested, that would be like giving people tissues so if they're in a shooting they can mop up blood spots on their suit jacket so the stain doesn't completely ruin it while they bleed out from a gun shot wound to the thigh. --- Doctor Foxx posted...

That's something that should be addressed following the second ammendment. Restrict gun ownership to those who are trained to a basic degree to use weapons properly and put basic understanding of how guns work and proper, considerate handling of said weapons. If everybody has a basic idea of what a weapon can do and bad/malicious practice then people can quickly identify suspicious behaviour without panicking over the sight of any weapon. They also have the means to identify sufficient cover in the event of a shooting. --- Doctor Foxx posted... The demonizing of soy has a lot to do with xenophobic ideas. |

| Kyuubi4269 12/29/19 11:47:02 AM #20 | If it's safe enough for them to be willing to jump in front of it, it's not dangerous enough to open fire on the driver. Police should not act dangerously. --- Doctor Foxx posted... The demonizing of soy has a lot to do with xenophobic ideas. |

Realtalk: It is safer for the front windshield to be breakable, allowing a driver/passenger to fly out - or for the front windshield to be rigidly bulletproof? Windshields have to be safety glass to be roadworthy, so I think that assessment's been made. --- Doctor Foxx posted... The demonizing of soy has a lot to do with xenophobic ideas. |

If powers aren't coordinated with hands, there isn't a clear indicator that x power is from x person. It's pointlessly incoherent. --- Doctor Foxx posted...
