Knowing the fond beliefs of those that frequent this Forum, let us re-phrase that: Burning FF's causes Climate Change which reduces the temperature in Chicago which causes an increase in the murder rate.



You just can't beat smoking gun evidence like that. It's all them GHG's.

Conceal carry has been legal in Chicago and the greater state of Illinois since Jan 2014.

Just so you know.

I'm reading Karen Horney, a prominent psychoanalyst of the 1940s and she's discussing the "Vindictive Aggressive" personality, which is pretty much the modern racist:

No regard for other people
Demands immunity from criticism
Violent rage
Accumulates grudges as if they are treasures
Permanent feelings of being abused, permanent vindictiveness
Very competitive, but may or may not accomplish anything
Obsessed with seeing other people fail, will cut off his nose to spite his face
Dreams of glory, believes he has "extraordinary attributes," and "godlike self-sufficiency"
Shitty childhood that turns into "insatiable pride."
Too proud to ask for help, can't accept help graciously
Relies on intellectual powers, which can be imaginary
"Militant rightness," need to punish and intimidate others
Demands immunity from rules that apply to other people
Pride in honesty, justice, fairness
Constant efforts to frustrate other peoples hopes and plans
Intimidate anyone that complains
Furious bitter envy of nearly anyone for nearly any reason
Desperate need to be part of a group

Yet I just published a link that detailed how crime rates declined during 2014, the first year for concealed carry in Illinois/Chicago. The rates for burglary/robbery were down 20 percent, the rate of auto theft down 26 percent, and murder rates went to a 56 year low.

Illinois requires 16 hours of classroom instruction, and a $600 license fee. There is an administrative backup, the actual full impact of the law should be known by the end of 2016. Sure looks encouraging so far - with the citizens trained and the criminals denied (legal) guns.

Another good classic book is Irvin Yalom's " The Theory And Practice of Group Psychotherapy," which should be required reading for managers. Anyway, he was pointing how dangerous it is to even comment on the operation of a system, without even trying to change it. Just commenting on how the system works is enough to get a person mobbed. He said it's a very powerful social taboo that people just take for granted, and only certain people like comedians get some immunity. But this taboo against pointing out obvious things is why so often there are cases of murder and child sex trafficing operating quite openly and everyone pretends to not notice without being told to keep quiet. And they'll even close ranks around the criminal and gang up on anyone that asks questions, not because they are part of the scheme, but because it's human instinct. Look at the Holocaust - everyone in Germany knew, but they did not "know" in the sense that they weren't comparing notes to figure out the big picture.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('SeaGypsy', 'I')s there any history since the internet has been around about American forum posters going postal? I can recall the Unabomber was somewhat of a lobbyist before switching to actual terrorism to male his points. Brevik isn't American. Apparently the general form of American mass murderers is of very poor communication ability, mental health issues. Us intellects capable of hashing out arguments on a forum like this are not the same people doing the killing. Unless what a poster says is provocative to evil, how polite or otherwise posters are is irrelavent to this issue.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Sixstrings', '
')Then, 99% populist left wing anger. And eco activists, so much anger, so much militancy, so toxic -- which is what I touched on earlier in this thread, especially about the internet, just how TOXIC the discussions can get. Nobody wants to seem wrong about anything. Everyone's afraid of being wrong, apparently. Everyone's afraid of "slippery slopes" and they're absolutist and can't ever give an inch to the other side.
