So the two 12 year old girls who tried to murder another 12 year old girl are < blaming Slender Man >.Peeps, as you would expect, are freaking out. News programs are warning parents about Slender Man. Clearly we need to ban Slender Man for the children... Hey dumbfucks, how about the fact that these two girls are fucking insane, and probably have shitty parents? Plus, they're terrible murderers. They were trying to "prove themselves to Slender Man". I'd say they failed considering one held the victim down while the other stabbed her 19 times, and the victim lived. Posted by Malcolm on Jun. 04 2014,10:11
Wisconsin is a boring place. People need to make up wacky shit to pass the time.

There was a recent episode of Supernatural that must have been inspired by the Slenderman meme.

QUOTE The mother said her daughter has mental health issues Case closed. I don't remember who I was talking to about this subject, I think it was my co-worker lunch crew, but the point was made that they used to lock up the crazy people. Now they don't because "it's better for them". Considering you have to be insane to think Slender Man is real AND want to serve him, not to mention the mental status of all the shooters in recent mass shootings, perhaps we need to re-think this "it's better for them" policy.

QUOTE Now they don't because "it's better for them". Not being locked up is generally easier for the mentally disturbed. It tends to make the lives of everyone around them worse. Additionally, these kids allegedly have some authority figure involved in their lives dropping the ball. Posted by Vince on Jun. 09 2014,18:44

But they aren't a threat to themselves or others until they are, then it's too late and they want to ban guns and stuff. Posted by Malcolm on Jun. 09 2014,19:24
Crazy will always be among us. The people who believe that they can reshape the world so that "this will NEVER happen again" prevent rational actions from being taken.

Yeah but if guns are completely removed from existence, there can never be another mass killing by crazy people and/or right wingers.When you believe something like that, which many do, you can never be swayed. Posted by Vince on Jun. 10 2014,02:41
(GORDON @ Jun. 09 2014,21:35) QUOTE Yeah but if guns are completely removed from existence, there can never be another mass killing by crazy people and/or right wingers. I always point those people towards the drug trade. That's illegal, and they are still out there. They can even get them into prisons which is one of the most controlled environments there is. At least in theory. Posted by TPRJones on Jun. 10 2014,05:39
That goes both ways, of course. People that will argue how useless it is to outlaw guns seem to be unable to comprehend that the same logic applies to drugs.

If we give the government enough power, they would be able to squash the black market, and therefore we can truly rid the world of evil guns.

Not necessarily. But if his ideas are rooted in the idea that 1) something illegal can be stopped, and 2) making something illegal won't stop it, then that's a bit inconsistent.
Posted by Vince on Jun. 14 2014,10:30
Making something illegal won't stop it. That goes back to Able and Cain. But making something illegal allows us to punish those that do it and get them out of society where they have to potential to hurt others (depending on the person and the offense).Again, I have no problem with legalized drugs right after we fix the broke ass welfare system and stop the socialist slide we've been on for the last 100 some-odd years. Posted by TPRJones on Jun. 16 2014,06:56
Fair enough, I hadn't considered the illegal-only-for-punishment angle. Although I do have to say it doesn't seem to actually be doing much good on the whole.As to your reasoning about not making it legal until welfare is gone, that I don't get. People who want to use and are on welfare are already using. Legalizing isn't going to have any effect on the poor at all except that fewer of them will end up being criminals and thus might have some sort of future. The people that wait until it's legal before they start using are almost universally middle-class and up. Posted by Vince on Jun. 17 2014,03:24
(TPRJones @ Jun. 16 2014,08:56) QUOTE Legalizing isn't going to have any effect on the poor at all except that fewer of them will end up being criminals and thus might have some sort of future. I call horse shit on that. If you're talking dealers, they aren't going to suddenly decide to become accountants if they legalize drugs. And if you're talking users, then if they were not a functional addict before it's legalized, then they won't be one afterwards. And I don't want welfare gone, I want it reformed. Posted by TPRJones on Jun. 17 2014,06:13
QUOTE If you're talking dealers ... And if you're talking users ... Neither. You were indicating that it shouldn't be legal while welfare exists, which I thought meant you figured that more welfare people would use it if it were more available. And I'm saying I disagree with that if that is what you meant, I think on the whole the poor people that want to use drugs already are. So when I said that it wouldn't effect the poor to legalize it I mean I don't think that those that are NOT dealers or users are not more likely to become so after legalization. As to dealers they'll just be out of a job because you can't sell pot for $80 a bag if people can buy it for $5 at the corner store. They'll have to find something else to do. EDIT: If I had to guess, some of those dealers would probably start mugging and stealing and whatnot. But the potential uptick in such crimes would probably be roughly offset by their users no longer having to do the same to pay for the drugs. Posted by Vince on Jun. 17 2014,08:17

I don't think many more people would be on drugs if it were legal, but I think we'd have more full blown addicts that don't even try to have a functional life. Same as happens with alcoholics now. Posted by TPRJones on Jun. 17 2014,08:25
Fair enough. Although those extreme ones would have an easier time trying to cope with it and those that did want help wouldn't have to be afraid of getting thrown in jail while trying to get help. So I think overall that would be mostly a wash, with an increase in quantity but a decrease in overall max life-shititude.

Colorado tried that and has made the mistake of taxing the everloving fuck out of their product such that they're almost keeping parity with the street pushers.

Although, if you are worried about those people just becoming druggies on welfare, how about making no drugs and no alcohol - and doing tests to verify that - as a condition of getting welfare? Would that solve the problem for you?All because it's legal doesn't mean you have to let people doing it have welfare checks. Posted by GORDON on Jun. 17 2014,09:35

It creates the problem of people w/kids on the streets, so there needs to be a system in place to rescue the innocents, and the only way it would be effective is if it is harsh.

I don't mind some draconian shit... remove children with a chance to see them again if they stay clean for X amount of time, sterilization, constant monitoring. As long as everybody knows the penalties up front for being on welfare and abusing drugs, it's harsh but fair, which is a better deal then you usually get out of life.No more of this "minor expectations of showing basic competence and intelligence is racist" shit, either. If you can't figure out how to get a free ID from the government, then no, you aren't intelligent enough to be allowed to vote on issues that affect your neighbors.
