greta---for the most part, accents are accents and you cannot necessarily differentiate skin color based on them.

But in the US, Black people accent is totally different from White People accent, EVEN if they grew up in the same state. This part is very prominent to me in the US. Which is strange to me since Black People has no second language. In my country, Indian/Malay/and different dialect chinese all have different English Accent, but that's because of our mother tongue, so our mother tongue influence the way we speak English.

and country music as a genre is incredibly eclectic and in many cases, at least to the average music listener, fairly indistinguishable from pop and rock.

I guess you are referring to Taylor Swift who claims to be country.

Clark County Sheriff Joseph Lombardo offered new information at a press conference Monday afternoon following the deadly mass shooting in Las Vegas. The motive is still unknown, but authorities have raided the shooter's home in Mesquite, Nevada and made some startling discoveries.


NEW: Las Vegas Sheriff says 18 firearms, explosives, and several thousand rounds of ammo recovered from Vegas shooter's home.

He also had ammonium nitrate in his car, and over a dozen more guns in his hotel room.

Clark County, Nevada Fire Department Chief Greg Cassell added that he has "never" seen so much ammo in one individual's possession before…

no, im referring to all of country music. much of it is indistinguishable from pop and rock.

again, differences in accents for any southern region are not necessarily tied to race, that is, they are not genetic.

if differences are discernible, they are tied to other factors, like socio-economic status, education, etc. if all those things are controlled for, and perhaps in instances even when they are not, accent wise, a black man from Tennessee will sound like a white man from Tennessee.

as an aside while im here, generically speaking there is a "southern accent" but people from all the southern states sound different from each other. much like people in England can identify their countrymen from their accents, people with good ears hear can discern a difference between someone from texas and someone from Virginia for instance.

I agree that his dead and there will never be justice. Even if his alive, there couldn't be enough justice for what he did. Whether they jail him for life or electrocute him to death. He wanted to kill alot of people and take them down with him as he already decided to die. Maybe it was his final bucket list and he has always fantasized about doing this.

I am awaiting for their conclusion. But they have deem the GF not of a concern. Very fast they eliminated her. And I feel the GF is the one closest to him past few years. He cared enough for her to send make tens of thousands of dollars money transfer into Philippines, which I assume is for her family or her. She might have clues.

And as for prevention. Complicated situation for the US with easy access to guns. But Hotels should have metal detectors at entrances so that someone couldn't possibly load up 10 luggage worth of serious fire power.

the fbi hasn't found evidence of a connection yet, and since they cannot totally discount one, she's justified in holding to her belief. given that, and how simple it is to understand that, what you said doesn't follow. all it is, is an attempt to belittle greta.

ORIGINAL: JVoV
OK, so why do you feel the girlfriend is a concern? She has an alibi. I'm sure she'll be questioned in time, like the nearest & dearest always are, when all you can do is try to make sense out of these things. But she had no active part in the tragic events of the night.

when there is no motive for going postal, the next place to look is did he have any connections to the cia, fbi, mi6, mossad, interpol etc etc etc. or someone that was involved with one of these agencies.

It seems your grandpa McCoy act has been discredited down to insulting a person from a foreign culture whose primary language isn't English. Good for you. You've found your niche.

No, she is insisting on facts that have already been discredited, and as for her language comprehension, the official languages of her country are English, Tamil, Malay and Standard Mandarin.

So, yes she understands English quite well, since it is taught her the school system she grew up with.

However, she is insisting the shooter was Muslim based on a claim by ISIS which has discredited, and even gone so far as to state that the man's girlfriend is the one radicalized if he isnt.

Every time there is a shooting incident in the US, her first claim is that the shooter was Islamic, followed by we are all in denial even when it was proven the shooter wasnt.

As far as insulting Greta, it is not an insult to state facts already in evidence, placed in evidence by her own posts, and her arguments when she has been proven wrong repeatedly by more than one user of these boards.

IF I wanted to insult her, I would have repeated what has already been said, she would be closed minded, if she had a mind. However, my opinion is that if the truth does not fit whatever parameters she has already established as real, then she refuses to accept the truth, even if her premise was false to begin with. In that respect she is no different than those in the Catholic church who condemned Nicolaus Copernicus as a heretic for proposing that the earth orbited the sun.

What was it? 200 years before that changed?

In that respect, she is no different that conservatives who point to Islam and its followers as the reason the world is going to hell. She is intolerant, prejudiced, and closed minded.

The only two people I have seen worse are Alex Jones and Rush Limbaugh. The difference is that both of those men have been successfully sued for pushing the same type of conspiracy theories, or to avoid a lawsuit, publicly admit they were wrong and the stuff they were saying was not based in truth but bullshit.

No, Greta... they want to do everything they can to divide Non-Muslims and Muslims.
They want people to be more like you-- to want to send the Muslims into the arms of ISIS by convincing them that they will never be accepted by Non-Muslims.

Islam is by nature a divisive religion.

A vegetarian can still sit on the same table as a meat eater. And the meat eater can eat their meat and the vegetarian will eat their vegetables.

But a Muslim cannot sit at the same table as a non-Muslim. IF pork is serve. Even if they ate their different respective food.

THIS itself is already divisive.

That's just blatantly fucking wrong.

I had Muslim friends in college-- they sat with us, they socialized with us, one guy even helped me move and then refused any payback whatsoever.
Obviously they had their thing like we had our thing, but it didn't stop anyone from getting along.
If anything, they were even more willing to put up with other people's bullshit.

YOU are the one who is dividing people with your ignorance and fear.

I didn't say that I was an expert, Nancy.
I said that I knew Muslims who sat and ate at the same table as I did, which is something that Greta claimed was against their religion.

You weren't following the conversation, as always.
All you ever really do is look for places to slip in some of your trademark stupidity and insults.

I think a good gun control is compromise is limiting the number of guns a person can own. And there should be a National registry so all gun shops would have access to it to know if this man reached his gun buying limit and can't get anymore! The amount of guns he had is abit insane! On top of that, I was reading articles that the gun shops who sold him guns denied that anything they sold him was capable of the damage that shooting did. They all claim he got it modified elsewhere. And if he did, who does these modifications? Are these modifications legal?

I mean seriously, how many different type of guns does one person need for day to day protection?
