[QUOTE=SoUl_ReApEr2;36857543]Really... Heath Ledger dies they don't stop that for a week or so out of respect but one guy goes on a rampage and ruins it for us all? seriously, more people in africa die than what happened there.... they don't stop holidays to africa. fuck if they do i swear i'll go to my cinema and do the same.[/QUOTE] Yes, because 71 casualties is clearly not as important as an actor.

[QUOTE=Leaf Runner;36859054]Yes, because 71 casualties is clearly not as important as an actor.[/QUOTE] Life is life, doesn't matter what.

theres a good chance that there are going to be copy cat killers out there. the infamy this crazy fuck got is a gold mine to psychopaths out there. i mean he shot "71" people, thats pretty effective if you ask me. The theater was literally a shooting gallery with 2 exits, you couldn't ask for a better situation to kill people. I really hope they start revising movie theaters so this doesnt happen in the future.

[QUOTE=DainBramageStudios;36858271]then explain to me why switzerland, a country with lax gun laws similar to the USA, has such low murder rates. it's a classic case of confusing correlation with causation. high gun crime isn't caused by high gun ownership, they're both caused by other sociological factors which can be traced back to the origins of american society, such as no recourse to the law in frontier settlements necessitating less qualms about using guns to resolve disputes.[/QUOTE] Switzerland is incredibly wealthy for starters Obviously the US is also but Switzerland has greater equality

The Swiss also have a nice progressive implementation of direct democracy with their cantons so accountability is rife there along with people being able to actually get involved in decision making that affects them on a local and a national level.

[QUOTE=JustExtreme;36859271]The Swiss also have a nice progressive implementation of direct democracy with their cantons so accountability is rife there along with people being able to actually get involved in decision making that affects them on a local and a national level.[/QUOTE] Direct democracy isn't as good of an idea as it sounds.

Is that because the masses are "too stupid to run their own affairs" a la Edward Bernays or something else? I think that on a national level it is probably a bad idea due to the concentration and centralisation of power required for a nation state but at a local level with delegation (not 'representation'/what the message boy thinks is best) between associations' for joint large scale decisions it could work quite nicely.

If a school gets bombed in some obscure part of the middle east, no one would bat an eye -- does this mean that we should respectfully not attend school? If an office building gets assaulted somewhere in the world, should that mean that out of respect for those who were killed we not attend work? If executed, the decision would be illogical. Best example of a non-sequitur. Ever.

The middle east is pretty much in a perpetual state of war so as time has passed everyone has just gotten used to it. However a cinema being attacked while showing a big blockbuster film grabs more people attention, especially on the internet where people may know those involved.

[QUOTE=AngryChairR;36857471]This whole thing wouldn't have happened if gun ownership was abolished in America. How many shootings will it take for them to realise?[/QUOTE] yeah because the UK totally has no gun crime due to its ban!

I live ten minutes away from this theater. I could hear the shots when I was outside. My heart goes out to all affected.

[QUOTE=AngryChairR;36857471]This whole thing wouldn't have happened if gun ownership was abolished in America. How many shootings will it take for them to realise?[/QUOTE] AngryChair just stop. I'm not kidding, just stop. Every single thread that has some sort of gun related tragedy in America you post this same exact message, and then you remain willfully ignorant about why this wouldn't work. America has a huge supply of guns. Abolishing gun ownership will accomplish nothing and will just make things much worse. It will serve to empower criminals and create a demand for guns that will be served by the black market. You will basically be creating a profitable criminal market with such a ban in America. Not to mention this post is pretty much a lie because I can promise you that even if guns were banned in America this guy would have easily found a way to acquire one anyways. But why do I even bother? You are just going to continue to be willfully ignorant and the very next thread that involves gun crime in America will contain you posting this exact same post and you will continue to never learn. [QUOTE=AngryChairR;36858161]Feel free to look at gun crime in the rest of the world compared to America. People die there every other day from shootings and [B]if guns were abolished and fought against like drugs there would be none.[/B][/QUOTE] Did you seriously post this? You know what? I'm convinced. I'm convinced that you have been trolling us this entire time. It would blow my mind if you were legitimately this stupid.

please release it on DVD and blu-ray. don't wipe the movie forever from existance. [highlight](User was banned for this post ("Didn't read" - Starpluck))[/highlight]

[QUOTE=SFC3;36859719]please release it on DVD and blu-ray. don't wipe the movie forever from existance.[/QUOTE] yeah a big company would dump half a billion dollars into something and just sit on it

[QUOTE=SFC3;36859719]please release it on DVD and blu-ray. don't wipe the movie forever from existance.[/QUOTE]They're not doing that you illiterate troglodyte, it's a temporary delay in screenings.

[QUOTE=AngryChairR;36858161]Feel free to look at gun crime in the rest of the world compared to America. People die there every other day from shootings and if guns were abolished and fought against like drugs there would be none.[/QUOTE] Look at the rest of the worlds countries compared to the United States. Notice how this country is fairly larger than them. By the way, if someone wants to get a gun, they'll get it, abolishing guns wont solve anything, it will just create more problems. Speaking of which, if we fought against guns like we do drugs nothing would change, do you know how many people can get drugs if they want drugs? In fact, it would get worse with a black market for guns, and it would just make the law abiding citizens more vulnerable to the psychos who'll find ways get guns anyway. Basically: Banning guns wont solve anything, it will just make the situation worse, please stop.

[QUOTE=AngryChairR;36857471]This whole thing wouldn't have happened if gun ownership was abolished in America. How many shootings will it take for them to realise?[/QUOTE] It's harder to get a gun legally in Mexico then it is the US. So please, shut the hell up.

I think I'd be better if they helped with the funeral cost and actually put "To the memory" of those who died at the end of the credits. Though I'm not sure it's a good idea either to add a painful memory to a movie.
