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?

When eating and sweating becomes a problem in the world, we’ll argue about it then.

Well, over eating is killing the world's resources, and sweating makes the world stinky. FAR worse a problem than people who don't know how to properly raise their children.

Did you know that in Minnesota it is illegal it eat hamburgers on a Sunday? And were you aware that driving a red car down Lake Street Minneapolis is a federal crime? And can you believe that crossing the state boarders of Minnesota is illegal while a duck is sitting on your head?

I obey all those laws.

Tell me I didn’t have to exclude those wrongfully imprisoned? No, someone who is setting on death row for a crime they didn’t commit isn’t being served justice and are not included in “being where they belong”.

What was it that that principle said to that wrongfully arrested student? "You're a criminal, and criminals lie, why should we have believed you?"

Dreams should be pleasant, and for someone to find pleasure in doing cruel things is not human. I think nightmare would be a better word for you to use.

How many people find eating meat cruel? Right. Cruelty is subjective.

Why, a life of crime will only lead to a life emotional death or suicide, are you trying to torture people?

Since when? Most "successful" criminals lead the high life. Other criminals end up in prison where they either end up angry or constantly frightened.

Yes, but music covers more than just singing. And no one would consider talking to be a musical art.

Yeah, just like no one considers beating sticks against leather bound tubes to be a musical art! Even though that's included in nearly every form of music across the earth, even a lot of cultural music!

Pairing up and sharing each other's belongings is a natural act, to require a license for it would be like making a marriage license law.

Marriage is rarely about sharing belongings; it's more about certain rights like inheritance and decisions of incapacitation.
