School Shooting in Tusby, Finland

[Cops]

shootings like this make me weary of high school and even college, it's not one of those things you constantly think about but the idea that people who are at some form of institution are generally there to learn, understand and grow and actions like this completely contradict every good reason to go to school. When someone someone comes along and does this you completely remove people's comfort level.

I went to high school where one acquaintance killed one of my friends best friends by choking him to death at the back of our school, I went to school with rapists (they were charged) kids who kicked a kid to death over a pack of smokes, I've been at three high schools alone where multiple kids lost their lives in gang related violence.

and through it all people wonder why I wanted to drop out and find an alternative way of finishing high school... tell me one good fucking reason why sticking 2000 shit fucks together is a good idea, especially when half of them don't want to be there, it's breeding grounds for problems and it always will be. This isn't an American, Canadian, German or Dutch problem this is everyones problem.

But maybe I was talking about Money and Scoop.

Then maybe you should make that clear. Because when you've been a condescending dick lately, and you quote someone talking about America in a general term, you should know that that could be taken as a generalization.

Come on, man. You don't know it all, and neither do I. So let's tone down the rhetoric and perhaps we can all get along.

Darwin does not apply to humans, certainly in the west, because of all the laws and companies and whatnot we have to help the "weak".

Exactly!

[Cops]

The term weak is thrown around too often, it's context is subjective and can be used for people to justify deaths. I'd argue that this person and these people are weak, weak minded that is. Can you possibly say that someone with a physical or mental disability is any less weak than someone who decides to take lives in the most inhumane way, no you probably can't. The weak people in society are these cowards who shoot down innocent civilians as if they were cattle, the thing that really bursts my bubble is that people get so into shit like this that they end up completely out-right contradicting and distorting reality and the real words and meanings behind them, even if it's completely subjective there is a common consensus and people like this fall so far into their bullshit that god probably couldn't even help them.

we've made humanity, lesser human beings and the environment/climate our bitch, we truly will shape how the human species will progress, if at all.

My thoughts and condolences go out to the family's of both the victim and the shooter. We never really understood that we end others lives when we do stuff like this, this doesn't haunt you for the rest of your life it haunts the ones you love and they get to endure the shame, sadness and general ostracization from all corners of society.

I've got to agree with Conc on this one, you're pretty anti American, and not in one of those calm 'i disagree with America's foreign policy' ways. You come across more of one of those 'i will shit fuck anything related to America in any possible way' kind of guy.

[Zerzera]

I'm not anti-American. I am a frantic, arrogant liberalist and pacifist.

I sometimes defend, or try to defend, a thesis that is not even my own, just for the sake of it.

But still then Cops, where do I say that I am anti-American, because I never realized I did.

And conc, tell me where I crossed the line, I will apologize.

[Liquid Blue]

whcih I thought was pretty obvious.



P.S., how is Thriller related to this thread? Oh, Jackson touched him and he went insane? well that makes some sense.

Try just looking at the image and the stuff I quoted instead of thinking Jackson actually deals with the topic.

It's TelFat man, do you really think I would try to connect anything to what she says?

To properly compare statistics like this, it would have to be per-capita.

Can't play TW thanks to some router giving me 30% ploss so might as well do something semi-usefull.

European Union:
494,070,000 divided by 8 = 1 on 61.758.750
Europe as a whole:
710,000,000 divided by 8 = 1 on 88.750.000
United States:
302,770,000 divided by 39 = 1 on 7.763.333

What it boils down to is everyone wanting to be American...as soon as our lil emo kids start shooting up schools everyone elses emo kids think its cool and acceptable because some american kids did it first

[Pandagirl!]

It kind of makes me sad to see all the ignorant, insensitive people that live in my country.

I'd want to be anything to disassociate myself from people like you an Izor.

I think you're a decent guy, I've never really had any problems with you, even when I was on your squad(s). I just think that your comments sometimes seem really geared negatively towards America, and this isn't going to turn into me nit picking comments it's just an observation over the past few years. If Concrete wants to expand his argument and find comments to prove this, by all means but I honestly don't want to get into it with you.
