    So this guy was here illegally but we won't make a big deal.  However in the gun violence thread we have a white male committing mass murder while gaming and now it is a call to ban!  Double standards annoy me.  

    A call to ban....... what, exactly? I don't recall any calls to ban. Except for the idea of eSports.
    Oh stop.  You aren't exactly pro 2nd amendment.  You'd love to ban all "assault" weapons and then keep going.  

    Stop? Stop what? Stop posting? Why - don't your ideas stand up to discussion?

    You said ".....now it is a call to ban!". "Now" generally means something is happening at the current time. I don't recall that I or anyone else in the gun violence thread calling for a ban at that time.

    Maybe you can stop, and rephrase what you were trying to say. 

    (And for the record, of course I'm not pro 2nd amendment. It's hard to contemplate a more wrong-headed approach to the issue than 2A. It's killing your country and your citizens.)
    Speaking of cigarettes and alcohol...

    So you totally contradicted yourself based on the last sentence in parenthesis.  (Why put "and for the record" in parenthesis?)  Of course you are not pro 2nd amendment like I said.  This is such trivial back and forth banter.  
    Like I said in some thread, why are you against people rallying against illegal immigration by this murder but ok with people rallying against the 2nd amendment with other murders?  The majority of illegal immigrants and gun owners are way responsible.  The hypocrisy lies in the fact that an illegal immigrant murdered a us citizen yet the majority on this forum rally for the illegal immigrant (hypocrisy in itself) and say, hey illegal immigrants are good people.  yes i agree.  yet the same people lump all gun owners together and want to ban anything everything to "save but one life."  well if that is the case let's build a wall to "save but one life".  
    I'll ride the wave where it takes me......

    Ha. For one, your comparing two murders to mass shootings which have been happening regularly for decades.

    And I am not comparing two murders to  mass shootings rather one murder by an illegal immigrant to a mass shooting.

    Have illegal immigrant murders and crime also not been happening for decades?

    Mostly what these threads have come down to lately is snarky one liners to belittle someone who we think we're superior to intellectually.
    It's a hopeless situation...

    That's a false equivalence. That has nothing to do with double standards.

    Okay, excuse the snark then. The point is Mollie Tibbitts and Kate Steinle are the rallying cry for people on this side of the debate. Two attractive white women who were brutally murdered. Both are horrible tragedies. But the rallying cry for gun control advocates are the thousands of people victimized by mass shootings which happen on a weekly basis. One problem is a much larger issue than the other. Comparing the two is like comparing apples to ham sandwiches.

    One resulting in 10,000+ deaths per year

    How many deaths per year are caused by undocumented immigration?

    Dunno. But I’m still not certain why the hell you can’t fix more than 1 thing at a time.

    No beef there, just pointing out these issues are nowhere near equal as far as actual impact on American quality of life

    Sure, you could, absolutely; but since they are not going to, if you have to only fix one thing, it should be the thing that's way more problematic and causes far more deaths, injuries, and trauma.

    “The Hispanic community are Iowans. They have the same values as Iowans,” said Mollie Tibbetts' father. “As far as I’m concerned, they’re Iowans with better food.” https://t.co/T1xFYhI8GV

    Directly from the father. No grains of salt needed.

    This family is beautiful. God bless all of them...including 2nd cousins.

    They do have awesome food.

    I've said it elsewhere on these forums: we are going to the Gorge this weekend for DMB. I will be getting my fill of Mexican food while doing so. There are so many mom and pop outfits in northern Washington with hard working, family oriented people serving the public. Prices are very fair and portions are very generous.

    We have our favourites and will be revisiting.

    Yup.

    And you've given me an idea for a kids' book: Scruffy Goes to Chicago.

    It'll be if the pop up variety. I'll think about the plot later when I'm biking, but the tour you went on will comprise some of the rising action... Lou's will serve as a foreshadowing event... you crapping your pants will be the height of the action... Eddie giving you a hug while you eat cotton candy in your new Russell sweats will be the sweet and pleasant ending!
