Yet another school shooting., And you thought Columbine was bad... Options

[Ethronix]

For all those who live on the east coast of the U.S. there was yet another shcool shooting today, at Virigina Tech College, and according to the news there were at least 31 deaths not counting the shooters suicide, the police have not yet released a name though they have an idea who done it. Of course most of the U.S. residents know about this already since the news has been all over it all day, but that brings up the still un-answered question of why, which in turn will no doubt result in some form of blame on the violent nature of american movies,games, etc.

On a side note this attack happened almost exactly 8 years after the columbine shootings(April 20, 1999)



Penny for your thoughts?

I never said needing a license to have sex

I never said it either. That would be even worse than a license to have children.

What do you expect for those babies born by 12 year old girls? Do you think a child at the age of 12 has enough common sense to properly raise a child? Didn’t think so.

A child born by a twelve year old girl is most likely an ACCIDENT. A girl so young might think "Oh, my parents are going to kill me. I'll have to keep this secret... and maybe kill the baby, too. Otherwise they might somehow find out." Have you not heard of all these stories of babies being tossed into dumpsters by unwanting young mothers, or that one baby who was stabbed more than one hundred times by her mother? These are done by young mothers who did not want the child. It may be hard to believe, but it's a fairly common way of thinking when you're as scared as they would be in that situation. Adding a license to the mix would just make it even worse and more common. I don't think anybody wants that.

So many lives are born wasted, I wouldn’t expect a childbearing license to limit the number of babies born, but hey, maybe we can do with those who decide to break this new found law the same as we do those who sell without a license, or drive without a license, lock them up!

Okay, so let's look at this. It's a normal couple, and they use condoms when they have sex. One day, it breaks. Suddenly, the woman is pregnant. They don't have this license. They are also against abortion or maybe it's illegal. What the hell are they going to do? Get locked up. Over something that wasn't even their fault. That is NOT right.

Because video games are taken even less serious. Hey, maybe it would be better if people actually set out on a journey to change the world for the better, to fight evil entities to prove their future, to learn new summons and put them to good use. Wait, why aren’t people following video games in the first place…

Hmm, following video games... that's a great idea! How about I be Yggdra, and I go out and kill your family because you stole my Xbox. Yeah! That'll stop needless killing... Oh, oh! I could also be KOS-MOS and destroy a bunch of fish because one of them bit my mother's hand. Or maybe I could call myself Ash and then cram a bunch of birds and lizards into tiny balls and force them to fight until they faint.

Don't make me think up more examples of why we DON'T follow video games.
