You're right. You win. Well done...

Seems weird to fixate on Sandy Hook considering how many other massacres happened before, happened since, and will happen again.That's why I posited a proposal that doesn't fixate on any particular one of the massacres. Providing irrelevant responses is worse than just not providing one.
Then I'd say it's gotta be the longest-game conspiracy in history.So your best response is that you personally find it unlikely?

I always wonder why anybody would bother with false-flag mass-shootings when they're such a tediously regular occurrence in America.What if they're all (or a vast majority, at least) staged, as part of a plot to disarm Americans and then do Terrible Things™ to them?
Also, the Phantom Menace is not only the worst Star Wars movie's ever, it is one of the worst movie's ever, full stop. I am not going to sit here and tell anyone that A New Hope is a cinematic masterpiece, but it at least had a solid story. The Phantom Menace is basically gobbledigook and it still has to answer for introducing Jar Jar Binks to the world.
Marvel's The Punisher (Season One, Steve Lightfoot, 2017)
I thought this was great, I was honestly shocked when I checked reviews afterwards and saw how harshly it was being received. I'm going to read them more in-depth later, but at a glance it looked like a lot of them were "the show wasn't visceral enough/didn't have enough violence/action" or "the show was too visceral/had too much violence/glorified violence". Was it a lot less action-packed than previous Punisher adaptations? Well, yeah, this one actually cares about Frank Castle as a character, as a human being, and decides to explore that. They probably could have explored it more deeply, probed Frank's psyche instead of always keeping the answers to his instability vaguely just out of arm's reach, but they didn't. I don't know how most people viewed it, but I saw it as we only get to see as much of Frank as he wants to see of himself. The questions are brought up—is Frank Castle sane? Is he wrong? Does he go too far? Does he have a cause, or is he kiling because it's all he knows? Is he just going to keep chasing 'new' targets? Will he ever be sated?—but they're brushed off before we dive deep enough into them to resolve it, but only because Frank himself brushes them off, not wanting the answers. Maybe that left some people unsatisfied, but I think it's fitting.
Anyway, I had to pause or look away for a lot of scenes because Jesus Christ was it violent, especially in the last two episodes, but damn it was good.
He looks retarded. He's so big (or the room is so small) that clinging to the corner isn't even hiding him at all. He might as well have just been standing right there.
Anyway going to Lundy Island for a break, they have one bolt action rifle for putting down injured deer, but it is locked away and hasn't been used in living memory, i think I will be safe.
His feet are touching the ground way too long there. His legs are moving too slow. It's like he's skating or something.
Why so many atheists? I don't get it unless there is trolling going on
Why would you expect it to be otherwise? The majority of people in the UK and some northern European countries are atheist. Australia is about 30-40% atheist and amongst millennial Americans, between 15 and 25% are atheist.
In such a small population size, it's not unreasonable to assume that the majority of members who have answered are from a demographic which is highly overrepresented on the internet. Considering most members are from The West, it would be far more unusual if they were Hindu or Buddhist.
Atheism is primarily being formed by the constant rise of scientism.
