Finally the government is going to do something about far-right loonie movements and cracking down more on hate speech.

A little too late for the poor white Finnish guy killed for his opinion on the matter.

Here we elected far right loonies into government a few years back, and that legitimised all kinds of fucked up shit, including neo-nazi symphatisers.

It can only get better.

I read two pieces of news today, separately.

One, that we all came from Africa.

Two, that a Finnish guy was beaten to death by neo-nazis not far away from me.

Gothic 1-3

Mount and Blade Warband with Native Expansion (Invasion ON)

Total War:Shogun 2 on higher difficulties and some factions that get gangraped in the beginning.

But nothing beats the infinite difficulty and permadeath of Diablo 3.

I mean, I've never soloed above grift 80 on HC, which is a great way to lose your toon and all that equipment and gems, but then you consider there is no upper limit to it.

Infinite difficulty. Think about it for a moment.

Prejudist people in general.

Science illiterate folk.

People who say climate change is a hoax (falls to the above category, but deserves a special mention).

People who resort to personal attacks in a debate or internet argument.

People who misguidedly invade other countries paying no heed to the fragility of the socio-politics of the area.

Scientists who do not love to be proven wrong (making them faux scientists).

People who are unable to form informed opinions on a matter when presented with science.

People who think DRM free helps the gamers and the industry.

People who think piracy has a positive effect overall in PC gaming.

People who have no clue about the sanctity of life, touting vehemently for no gun control.

People who assume you have no clue about firearms because you are pro-gun control.

Religious people who think they are better than other religions' religious people.

Science illiteracy is punishable by death.
The death penalty is removed afterwards.
Gun freaks shoot themselves.
Accidental shooting in the foot is punishable by death (invoked temporarily to get rid of those gun freaks).
Religion is punishable by death.
Piracy is punishable by death.
Racism is punishable by death.

After we get rid of this scum (call it progressive evolution) we can get rid of the death penalty, due to how inhumane it is.

A much better world.

Tbh it seems more like population control or evolution. Gotta weed out those geniuses with guns.

If I remembet correctly, it didn't end well.


Imo, idiots (same goes for psychopaths and the similar, those people) shouldn't be allowed to buy guns, at all. If one with common sense does, then ok.

Well, I did a quick search and couldn't anything relating to gun control specifically.

So far everyone is behaving too, so personally I don't see a problem.

Yet.

It doesn't work, at least here in America.

Actually it does, according to research.

Here is an example where permit to purchase law PTP was repealed in Missouri at a state level and its impact. Homicides shot up a whopping 23% due to it.

http://europepmc.org/articles/pmc3978146

"Abstract
In the USA, homicide is a leading cause of death for young males and a major cause of racial disparities in life expectancy for men. There are intense debate and little rigorous research on the effects of firearm sales regulation on homicides. This study estimates the impact of Missouri’s 2007 repeal of its permit-to-purchase (PTP) handgun law on states’ homicide rates and controls for changes in poverty, unemployment, crime, incarceration, policing levels, and other policies that could potentially affect homicides. Using death certificate data available through 2010, the repeal of Missouri’s PTP law was associated with an increase in annual firearm homicides rates of 1.09 per 100,000 (+23 %) but was unrelated to changes in non-firearm homicide rates. Using Uniform Crime Reporting data from police through 2012, the law’s repeal was associated with increased annual murders rates of 0.93 per 100,000 (+16 %). These estimated effects translate to increases of between 55 and 63 homicides per year in Missouri."


To drive the point home about gun control, here is one paper about PTP, permit to purchase laws and background checks implemented for some states.

Association between Connecticut’s permit-to-purchase
handgun law and homicides

"Results
We estimate that the law was associated with a 40% reduction in Connecticut’s firearm homicide rates during the first 10 years that the law was in place."

That and Israel are red herrings to be honest.

It's actually a popular myth, the Switzerland argument.

If you think having to renew your license 4 times annually with extensive psychological and background checks and a big price tag, as well as severely limiting small firearms, means NO gun control, then hey, I'm all for that kind of 'lax' gun control.
