Actor James Woods, who often takes to Twitter to express political views, has been using the forum to comment on the yesterday's murders at Umpqua Community College in Oregon.
26 year-old gunman Chris Harper Mercer opened fire on the campus on Thursday, killing nine people and wounding seven. Mercer reportedly singled out Christians for death by asking the religion of potential victims before firing on them. Mercer was then shot and killed by law enforcement.
In a series of tweets on October 2, Woods argued that because the victims were Christian, both President Obama and the media would lose interest in the story.
"NY Times writes a front page story about a hate massacre targeting Christians without using the word 'Christians,'" Woods tweeted, linking to story in the New York Times. Then: "If it is determined that the Oregon shooter targeted Christians specifically, that's the last we will hear of it on MSM [mainstream media]."
Woods then tweeted about President Obama's potential reaction to the crime: "Now that it is recognized that the terrible Oregon tragedy was an assault on Christians, will the President still sing Amazing Grace there?" Finally Woods tweeted a picture of the president with the comment: "Hate crime massacre of Christians finally silences Obama.

Could be that you are just so intolerant of others that a solitary occupation, like truck driving, is the only way to go.

I'm an R&D engineer. Many of my colleagues are out and out engineering geniuses.
Ya know what they have in common? Not ONE is a member of Mensa. Generally speaking, I find that most smart people don't feel the need to belong to a self-congratulatory organization whose sole purpose is to reassure its members that they are really smart.
I have met Mensa members, and almost without exception, they were not professional successes. There were a couple exceptions to that, but not many.
Successful smart people don't sit around patting themselves on the back about how smart they are. They go out and DO something with their brains.
Except Richard Dawkins. I think he probably admires his brain in a mirror 12 hours a day!
