That is because who sets the standard on what is mentally ill.
I can think of a number of professional medical societies and pulling together a large number of specially trained individuals to come up with a definition. Is bi-polar disorder a mental illness? How about schizophrenia? Multiple personality disorder? Someone prone to frequent unexpected violent outbursts? Severe chronic depression? Apsbergers syndrome? Because I guess it hasn’t been done, lets do nothing?
Elvis comes to the table with this: I just think if this amount of energy and finances we’re put into school therapists and social needs we may accomplish more.
And we get sidetracked into stigmatizing the mentally ill for all these mass murders. Was the Florida school shooter or that Vegas dumb f**k mentally ill? I ask honestly because from what I can recall... they were just shitbirds.

The kid from Maryland did it because his girl broke up with him. We need to put an end to failed high school relationships immediately.

Don't look at it as 'punishment', Unsung. Look at it as a 'sacrifice'. Yes... you like shooting shit...and that gun is admittedly sexy as all hell, but the other dickhead owners who have shown the capacity for carnage such weapons are capable of have alerted a public to their risk to society.
And society doesn't want to assume that risk anymore.
If we are speaking about risk then society doesn't need cigarettes or McDonald's either.

Agreed.
I don't do either (except for the odd McDouble on my way to the golf course if I haven't ate and won't be eating for a while).

I 1000% agree! I fully support banning cigarettes and McShitfood. They both are destroying the human race more than guns. It's amazing mass murderers don't go to McShits to mow down the slow moving herd of water buffalo. Probably too easy.

Is there a rest stop between McDonalds and the golf course or is the McDonalds next door? What about on the tees? Porta potty available? Particularly on an empty stomach.

The McDouble doesn't affect me that way.
Hey... don't get the wrong impression: were talking maybe three a year. It's either that or a big of kettle cooked chips when you're rushing to get to your tee time, but also have a void.
Reinforcing the doors would seem like a better option than having kids try to throw rocks.
Rocks, reinforcing doors, armed teachers, armed security on hand... anything but removing the guns from the equation, eh?
Or we couldn’t focus on the cause and not the tools....
Just that simple, eh? Go cure depression, anxiety, despair, and all other ailments that drive a madman to mass murder?
People are looking at the cause, but human nature is complex to say the least- not to mention the fact that all other countries have their share of the same social/emotional problems Americans face. The obvious difference is- as you stated- other countries do not provide tools of mass murder to their afflicted. So... mass murder is not a weekly occurrence.
Never said simple. I just think if this amount of energy and finances we’re put into school therapists and social needs we may accomplish more. You don’t have NRA junkies out there protesting against mental health needs. Perhaps both sides could work together instead of back and forth with nothing achieved.
For me, it’s infuriating to see the perceived permanence of the “NRA junkies”, like this is something that always has been and will be, like Kleenex or sexual attraction. That myth has to be debunked. The starting point is the stigmatization of the NRA itself as a thought control medium. From there, in the absence of a spoon-fed opinion, I hope people can make their own minds up, and if they say guns are for them, power to them.
The world’s fucked anyways - if the choices are nuclear war, climate disaster, and gun violence, at least we all have a fast and effective way to end our own lives.

Come to think of it... how does a guy remember his last McDonald's meal when it was March 2013?

Because I used to go there five mornings a week and get two mcgriddles with bacon and two hash browns and a large unsweet tea.
Jan 23 2013 I went Paleo and stopped Mickey D's cold turkey. I stopped in March because I figured I'd reward myself. I felt like puking for an hour, never went back for food again. I did stop one more time for a coffee.

Jesus. Thats a lot of McTrotts!
I dont do fast food that often anymore. Went to a&w last week for lunch. Felt sick from the first bite. It was weird. It tasted fine, but something in my brain kept saying "gross".
Got a bun.....fact i got two.....thats ok man, its got that "special sauce"!

My greatest food weakness. I thought I had it cured when I discovered anything with yeast gave me problems. But then I discovered that sourdough made only with sourdough starter instead of commercial yeast, does not give me problems (even though sourdough starter is a form of yeast). So sourdough bread is my weakness. The stuff is really not healthy. Now days, almost all wheat is unhealthy.
I'm sure glad I found this nutrition thread to chime in on!

Poor? Nah, no sympathy. They represent the worst of people. No sympathy. Team Trump Treason has made their bed. They can lie in it.
Was supposed to be a reply to not eating McD’s since 2013....
I had about a 16-year boycott on McD’s Started in May 1998 when I won a free ice cream cone from the monopoly game they did. Tried to claim it that day and was told “sorry, game rules say you can’t claim the prize the same day you win it.” Stopped by the next day on my way home from school and was told “sorry, those are expired now.”
i swore to never go again, but went a couple times a few years ago. I don’t hold grudges very long, only about 16-17 years.

I quite all the fast food joints (which I only went to rarely anyway) the day someone here pointed out that what all those places serve is road kill.
