School shootings

#1

QUOTE("Brains")"why does that shit happen more often in the us and not the rest of the world?"

And again I ask, "What have you been reading to suggest that this happens...'Often'...It happened last week...It happened in Columbine 6 or 7 years ago...And before then, it happened some 30+ years ago...

3 school shootings in 45 years is often..? I take shits often...I drink water often...I do not often pick up the news paper and read about massacres...I read about monstrous acts at random more than I would like to, but where in the world is safe from this..?

Again, I don't get it, and we should split this topic...

I count 36 in 10y for the US and 10 for the rest of the world from the first link.

my question stands!

Damn it Brains, move your shit elsewhere. This thread isn't for your fucking tirades

listen tt.

my first words were "my condolences" here. i meant those.

this is a discussion board though. you fucking talk about shit wether you like it or not. a conversation sways from time to time; much like happens in every damn meeting i (you?) have ever been in. mods bring it to topic again. attendees should obey. i think i did here.

then. i think the question i ask is very much on-topic. why the hell are you offended by it? is my wondering about why it happens more in the US than ANYWHERE else offensive to you? DEAL WITH IT! you don't like it. move on. read something else. post garbage in another thread and live your blindfolded life. or better yet: THINK about it. try to identify why the fuck your country every so often has this crap going on. LEARN. REACT. CHANGE! YOU are american! YOU are in control! YOU can address the problem at hand. you DON'T do that by avoiding the question and tell a person who does to "move his shit elsewhere".

I am not inventing shit FOR FUCK's SAKE! - and if I would be doing that, take it like a man - as far as internet forums are concerned - and post counter-evidence!

I am just wondering about it. what the FUCK is wrong with that?

I have nothing against this actually being debated or discussed. I'm all for the open conversation. I just dont' want it to happen in this thread that I started. I posted this and it is suppose to be about the travesty that happened. If you want to start talking about why this happens in the US more than elsewhere, then start it in a different thread. This thread is starting to lose the respect that the victims deserve.

This thread is about honoring and respecting the lives that were lost in this terrible day in history.

If you want to talk politics...take it elsewhere. Frankly, don't tell me to close my eyes to your "America is corrupt" bullshit....you want to make that claim...make it in a thread that is about that...one that you create.

Don't tell TT what belongs in his thread or not.

You're disrespecting the lives that were lost by blaming it on America as if it was their damn fault.

Not only are you in the wrong thread....but if you ever get around to making your own thread about this....you're wrong about what you're saying as well.

R.I.P again.

Thanks for moving it Ja

Brains...

I find your question pointless...

The fact that little list you posted comes up with some instances in other countries should set off a flag in your head that MIGHT suggest that this isn't a US based problem...If it happens 30 times here, and 10 times else where, who cares that the number is greater than one place or the other..?

And what happened at VT wasn't just a shooting, it was a mass murder...2 people getting shot isn't a mass murder...

You constantly light in on American policies and politics, but, your country is no beacon of sovereignty...

Historically speaking, King Leopold II...I'm sure know who that is...And where are your posts and threads about all the fucked up racial beatings and murders going on in Belgium right now..? You constantly are giving up paragraphs of American grief...And then you say we're attacking...But I realized these issues to be GLOBAL...

Articles about Belgium (positive or negative) posted by Brains = 0

I'm not interested in you bashing any country, let alone my own, when you and your countrymen (nobody) are in NO shape to insist America is a hot bed for trouble...You want to discuss the essence of American culture and dynamics, cool...You want to talk about the possibilities of this happening, and or what may have perpetuated these kinds of acts..? Cool...But you're showing me nothing but your distaste for America with the way you talk at this point...

QUOTE("œbermensch")I read about monstrous acts at random more than I would like to, but where in the world is safe from this..?

If the answer isn't 'Belgium', then maybe you should rephrase your question yet again, and present a more panoramic view of the world as a whole, and not getting into one of these 'the US is fucked up' little rants as they are so widely perceived...

Consider yourself knocked off that high horse you seem to ride in here on...

WHAT THE .....I had no idea the number was that high. Thanks for finding that info brains. Of course there not taking into account the potential shootings they stopped becouse some one reported the kid. I think theres been a few of those. Im not sure why all the neg towards brains on this topic becouse to me if your an american and not wondering what the hell we have to do to get these kids to stop killing than you must be numb inside. World wide i think only germany was on that list more than once except for us , We have 30. Thats not a put down to ask whats up. Now wether brains has anything to say on the matter is another question.
