    Re: yet another school shooting....

    Agree with rsforsythe.

    Guns only make it quicker and easier, not gonna solve anything. We need to look at the ROOT CAUSE. Mental health and any large population is gonna have a percentage of unstable, psycho, depressed, violent, dangerous BRAINS. Just the odds, not much to do except add security where needed. Obviously the threat of prison doesn't even work, only drains MY WALLET of tax dollars on these cuntbags.

    This is one of those threads where everyone needs to be respectful to those who have lost their lives, your comments about gun control and how it will and will not work need to be kept to themselves, Madvlad you are better than that, don't stir shit up man.

    Yea I do apologize for that, just got really mad about this but certainly should've kept that comment to myself... It is a good theory ralph, it is a revolving society in which people soak up what goes on and make it happen.

    It is not just you, this stuff is happening more often. I have frequently argued that the internet and instant news had made thing seem worse than they used to be and in many cases that is true. Take motorcycle fatalities as an example, we cant believe how many are happening but the simple fact is that 30 years ago if you didn't know the rider the chances of you hearing about it was somewhere between slim and none. Now take something like this shooting, 30 years ago you would not hear about it until the evening news or maybe the next mornings newspaper but it would have been nationwide by the next day

    Re: yet another school shooting....

    Makes me wonder why so many schools are getting shot up and not a single guns store....

    I would be perfectly comfortable with my kids attending a school where the teachers were trained and carried (concealed of course).

    Sad day for sure. The media blasting this from every angle does not help anything. If anything it spews inaccurate information because they are all in a race to report and be exports. They all talk to talk. They talk so that they are not the only channel not talking. That and it glorifies everything to people that do this stuff.

    Sadly, I don't think you are far off the mark. If you are crazy enough to rationalize killing a bunch of people for no reason, maybe this is just the attention you crave.

    And in China also....http://www.cnn.com/2012/12/14/world/...tml?hpt=hp_bn2

    Right now I am hoping the Mayans are right, get me the F$#K off this ride.

    RIP to those lost and to their families.

    No way, everyone always says that, including about massive natural disasters. It's all on the rise, this is way more frequent. And we've had written news and historical recordings for centuries. Definitely more frequent, just draw a straight timeline and look at the markers along it, over the last century alone.

    *not a ChickenLittle, just the facts ma'am*

    18+ children, from K-4th grade, plus 10 more adults. Disgusting.

    Re: yet another school shooting....

    Nya, no time. Anyone can go look up all the shootings (schools, churches, theater, public places, malls, whatever, etc.) over the last 10 years, then look up the number over the last half century, then over the last century. Let's see how it pans out...

    I really wonder what goes through these people's heads when they decide to commit such atrocities. I suppose it's too wishful to hope for a bullet.

    I am with you. Call me old fashioned, but I miss the day when depressed or crazy people just killed themselves. Why the need to take people with you?

    I have never been more glad my mom retired from teaching, now I just need to convince her to quit substituting ocassionally.

    Its just school shootings but it seems the 80s-90s were the worst. Only like six in 2010.
    Just now on FoxNews: "Of the 10 deadliest shootings in history, 7 have happened since 2007."

    Re: yet another school shooting....

    Call me old fashioned too, I miss the days when school kids had a disagreement, they'd settle it after school at the soccer field and kick the shit out of each other. They learned to resolve conflict or avoid it. With the new no bullying and zero tolerance policies the kids bottle up their anger inside until years later they snap like this. (Pure conjecture that this particular case is anything related, however)
