  1. I might as well take this opportunity to flip off all the major news outlets who insinuated that autism spectrum disorders were implicated in the CT shootings.

    1. @ceruleanspark They always do such stuff without knowing what's going on. "Oh, he must've played violent video games or listen to Metal. If that's not the case, he must've had autism or not loved his mother enough. If even that's not the case, he simply must've have believed in God enough. Yep, it's always those atheists, shooting everybody up." I hate that so much.

      1. @omni I can understand the entirely human desire to pin the blame on an outside factor, but I think that news outlets should, instead of speculating to feed their own 24 hour news cycle, simply stick to saying the things that are true.

      2. @omni Statistically, atheists commit fewer crimes.

        1. @toksyuryel Newscasters should not /have/ agendas.

          1. @ceruleanspark Now that's just crazy talk.

            1. @toksyuryel I thought we were doing crazy perfect world hypotheticals.

    2. @ceruleanspark Fun thing is, it's just a cultural thing.
