At least 31 dead at Virginia Tech

Re: At least 31 dead at Virginia Tech

I don't know if anyone else has checked or seen this yet, but I'm very disappointed at the groups that are being created on Facebook. Being extremely angry and hurt is perfectly understandable, but a lot of the things being said is just plain horrible. I just thought that college students would be a little more mature about this, but I guess I was wrong.

Yeah, I've seen a couple. They're disgusting. I'm not in any of the groups, but I'm a member of an event about it, and as far as I can tell there haven't been any hateful comments. The admin is pretty good about deleting the stupidity.

All I've seen is messages on the walls of various groups expressing some really hateful sentiments toward the shooter.

stupid, hateful people will always be stupid and hateful, and when they have a target, they will always spew their stupidity and hate in all directions.

They say guns don't kill people, but the certainly help, don't they?

Think back to Bowling for Columbine. Whether you like Michael Moore and his style of film-making or not, he makes some very valid points about our culture and its fixation on guns, violence, fear, and consumption.

No-one can think back to 'Bowling for Columbine' because no-one in the right mind would watch it.

I watched it twice. Once for gr12 english and once when it was on TV. I thought it was well done and made important points, but I am a leftist hippie freak after all.

They sell bullets in the barber shop.

Where I live they sell drugs in the barber shop.

Bowling For Columbine was a good movie.

The pro gun movement is too strongly tied into power, how else could they get away with the line "If everyone had gacks then they could have shot him." Thats great everyone carry guns and everyone shoot each other. America screw your admenmant for the right to bear arms, save some lives.

As to squeek, I think that the anti-game push is wrong but I think that these events should be used to create some forms of positive change.

Re: At least 31 dead at Virginia Tech

Positive change is good.

You know, like putting actual laws on gun purchases.

In two months when I'm 21, I can walk into a gun shop and leave not ten minutes later with a fully-loaded semi-automatic handgun.

Exactly and according to the pro-gun community thats a good thing, you can now shoot at anyone shooting you. Better give kids guns aswell otherwise how can they shoot shooters.

How many polticans have called for some form of change in terms of gun law? I bet Mr Bush hasn't nor any other front running politican to scared of the back lash from the ignorant and powerful pro-gun lobbyists.

Times like these make me glad to be an Aussie

Re: At least 31 dead at Virginia Tech

Last night I saw on a news network (I cant remember which one) where a school shooter was being interviewed. The shooter said at the time when he did the shooting he didn't realize that when you shoot someone they most likely will not get up. He said he thought it was like in the videogame DOOM when you shoot the aliens they get right back up.

I guess this guy didn't realize that he was shooting aliens in DOOM, not people.

I watched the interview, and it didn't make sense at all. He was about 28, and he killed those people when he was in highschool. I'm pretty sure 10 years ago there was no DOOM.

Uhhhhhh.... DOOM's been around for 15 years.
