Columbine

[Steve Savicki]

I hope we have learned from this 5 year past and done what we can as a nation to stop gun violence not just in schools, but in society as a whole.
And I don't mean stop just physically... metal detectors in schools, police handcuffing kids.
I mean mentally as well... education and understanding.
Physically is just half the battle. Going the physical route only teaches kids that violence solves problems. And if police are seen as figures to uphold the law, then this will teach some juvenile delinquent to go out and stock up on ammo because there will always be outlaws.
It's not just kids that need to be taught by the teachers and principal's announcements over the intercom... parents need to know the signs about when their child is going to commit an act of violence.
It's called adult supervision folks. As hitch pointed out in his controversial thread at the old DLRarmy domain, it's lack of attention, support, and displayed caring that will cause the kid to feel neglect.
Do you think we've accomplished anything since?

Not really.

Parents still don't take responsibility for their kids, and that's 98% of the problem. If they imposed a little discipline and got involved with their children's educations and supported them in their athletics, things like Columbine wouldn't happen.

BTW - I've always wondered if a Columbine incident happened at an inner-city, all black high school, do you think it would have got the same kind of coverage, attention and sympathy a nearly all-white school in the Suburbs of Denver got?

I'd have to say not.

Nope, it didn't. School in the town next to me had it's own Columbine-like incident and all that happened was that they closed off the street and then had a shootout with the kids. Was labeled as 'gang related' and we never heard anything about it every again.

[ELVIS]

They had one in New Orleans also...

Big deal...

[Jesus Christ]

Gregory, do ye think the murder of children, especially by other children is "no big deal"??

Hath ye learned nothing from My teachings??



(Jesus Wept at the memory of Columbine :cry: )

[ELVIS]

Of course not. The media won't dare. It's a real treat to them when there's this type of carnage committed by a couple of of juvenile honkeys - 'Bad Whitey! Bad guns!'. Convenient, pre-packaged propaganda for them. But, let a couple of brothers go on a schoolhouse rampage with a Glock and a sawed-off Mossburg, and they can't separate the message from the messenger without showing their bias. Write it off as 'intra-cultural strife' (and reinforce the indirect inference that it's all being propagated by 'The Man', in the process). :elvis:

Not only do kids have to deal with parents all the time, but they have bullies going after them on a daily basis. If the school system just thinks that bullying other kids is normal, then they'll wind up with blood on there hands when the so called losers in school just snap and start firing rounds at whoever pissed them off the most.

Come on, this has been going on since the beginning of time.

Teach your kids to fucking fight back. Shit, teach them to punch first. Send them to karate.

But no, we can talk our way out of everything.... :rolleyes:

[lucky wilbury]

bullying has gone on since there was school only differenece now is that it's become acceptable to go off on someone becuase you won't get blamed. it's always the media fault or music, movies or the nra etc etc. someone else made me do it. lack of personal responsiblity is killing this country. everything from the tobacco company made me smoke to mcd's made me fat. no one put the smokes in your hand or that supersize fry.

[Steve Savicki]

Hil, right next to you? That must've been a shocker.

[Ally_Kat]

nawh Steve, the minorities shoot each other up all the time

[Steve Savicki]

Myabe that's why my trip to NY back in March of '01 had alot of bus stop posters offering rewards to tip off cop killers.

[Ally_Kat]

nawh, NYC is completely safe. Just stay out of select part of the Bronx and the low-class parts of Brooklyn.

The copkiller posters is cuz we don't tolerate that crap here.

I feel safer in NYC than Dallas...

of course you do, you have me in NYC ;)

[John Ashcroft]

You bet sweetie! It makes all the difference.

[Ally_Kat]

I swear, we need to have a field trip. We could all debate by the new WTC train stop that they built there. Don't know where they're going to fit in the pools of doom and the trees of death.

No but society has carefully studied how to market that supersized fry and sell you those tasty smokes. Im not saying it justifies. Not at all. But it simply comes down to parents educating their kids even more today than ever. Too much bullshit in the world, so there is more to morally teach them.

[hitch1969©]

I personally have chosen to arm my children with semi-automatic weapons. I tell them: Never let anyone talk shit to you. Even on the internet. Go KLEBOLD on their punk asses and teach them a lesson.

I think that kids n guns are KEWL.
