A more armed citizenry could have prevented this tragedy. We need to loosen gun laws.

The suspect was a recent PhD student. We need to defund universities.

I know what you mean.  I'm risking Tommy becoming a Reds fan (not the end of the world but I'd like to 'raise him as a Cardinals fan' if possible) with each Reds game I take him to, which is about 6 or 7 per season.  He likes to clap when everyone else does, and gets confused when the Cardinals are playing and nobody claps for them.  What I have going for me is a Cards vs. Reds rivalry brewing between him and his cousin.

He'll stay in my good graces as long as he never asks me for Cubs or Steelers gear.
Surely he won't be a baseball fan, will he?  This is the 21st century.

It's time for them to invent some new popular sports, all the current ones have been around since the 19th century at least.

Wasn't the century of baseball 1880-1980?

That was just a prologue to the greatest century the sport has ever experienced.  Baseball shall take the world by storm.

And besides that it was 1870-1970.

With all the concussion lawsuits coming I think flag football will soon be our #1 sport.

What this does have in common with the Utøya shooting (anniversary in two days) is that the victims have very limited opportunity to escape. The theatre does have fire exits while utøya didn't, but they are choke points. You are many orders of magnitude times more likely to be killed in a theater fire than a theater shooting, but I think future theaters will be built with that expectation.

Surely the "century of baseball" has got to include 1985. :contract:

Thinking about it - the century of baseball almost certainly ended in 1991. :)
