Do you think they actually believe what they post, or are they just starting arguments?
How could anyone say that Obama did this just to get a day off?

This issue goes much deeper than politics. I would never vote for him, but have absolutely no disdain for his remarks on this matter.

Look- His statement was in the same tone and substance that his Zimmerman Martin statement was- It is an insult because it sounds like the speech writer revamped the same old thing...it was mechanical

Default Does reduced theatre attendance today prove Americans are soft?

I think people in this country are too cautious, scare too easily, and far too riddled with emotion that is derived from the media. Ones chances of dying are far greater driving to a theatre than in a theatre. Americans fear after 911 is what gave birth to the TSA. Get out and live your lives.

Or maybe he honestly feels that way when a young person is killed. I know a lot of parents whose first reaction when they hear about the death of a child is to think of their own children.

The movie theatre looney gunman was a neuroscience honor student.

So you hate science because of this??

If it wasn't for science/technology you wouldn't have the puter you are typing on.

It was even worse to see ABC News and Brian Ross do what he did this morning, which was a purposeful act. Any true journalist who believes in their profession, and others that want a return to a time where the public can trust the news media, should demand his firing.

Even those of you, who quickly rushed to blame this group or that group, should be ashamed of yourselves.
Another post that should be stickied.

As a parent when you hear about some kid getting killed one of your first reactions is to cherish your kids

If someone doesn't understand that, they either are not parents, or are horrible parents.

They should be very proud of themselves. They contributed a lot and made humanity better./s Had Nolan never been born many people would have been alive. Not a first time either, remember 2008 killing spree in Belgium? That murderer also dressed like Joker and proceeded killing babies in daycare center.
