    God help you if you bring the same bean dip as Ted From Accounting.

    LA Times reporting that a Syed Farook is an employee of San Bernardino County environmental health department. Not known if same guy. So workplace violence still on the table despite guy's name. The melting pot in action.

    At some point, what the fuck difference does it make? Does anything think that if there was no Middle East and no Islam, Americans still wouldn't be slaughtering one another for some reason or another?

    You're not that dumb, right? You understand "optics." You know exactly why it matters, and that pisses you off.

    I honestly don't understand, unless the shooting is related to Islam.

    It doesn't piss me off. I can deal with the fact that fear of the Other is what drives America. I'm too old to fight in whatever war white people want next. It pisses me off that people don't see THEY are the other to somebody else out there.
    Optics is a word meaning "we're about to hear a lie now."

    I'm starting to think "Sayeed Farook" is a distant cousin of Ho Lee Fuk, Lennay Kukua and Phuc Dat Bich.

    If this guy was an Islamist (could be), that would indicate the terrorists are wising up. Guns are a pressure point in our society whereas everybody hates get blown up. It was pretty easy to get people to take their shoes off in airports. Getting rid of assault rifles would be more difficult.

    All that mattered for the past 8 hours was WHO did this. Now it doesn't matter all of a sudden. The transparency of people's concerns is apparent. I agree that it shouldn't matter, but it does because people don't care about as much about terrorism or gun violence or solving any problems we face as a nation as they do about being right.
