      I think it was just one shooter for both shootings.

        The trick isn't to break some eggs to make an omelette, it's convincing the eggs to break themselves in order to aspire to omelettehood.

          I don't think a guy living in a country with something called the House of Lords can really talk about democracy. Also, we've always been a Republic so you obviously heard wrong. A guy like you is nothing more than pure scum. You need to be snuffed from the gene pool.

            this happened at University of Washington recently.

            BTW, school schootings are so rare an occourance anyway that any benefit of everyone carrying a weapon is instantly negated by the probability of an accident.

            especially when people who advocate the death of others, are the same that advocate ridiculous amounts of gun possession.

                    A problem with America is that people like the above poster can have free access to guns.

                    How can anyone thing that giving everyone a gun will make things safer? What's next, give every country nukes? I mean it's essentially the same principle.

                      Although I may not agree with what he says, I will defend with your life his right to say it.

                            Is that a response to my post?

                              actually i think it was a response to the "you get your aggression dose against the palestinians" line.

                              to respond to your points: you really exaggurate the IDF policies and training.

                              most troops who deal with weapons as a profession are usually really problematic and have low psychological scores.

                              Also as an amazingly stupid example, the son of Alperon, one of the nation's leading mafia - was accepted into special forces, and goes around with his weapon... and family bodyguards

                              You do have 2 or 3 examples of mobster youths using their army rifle to clear a crowd. But it is rare because of a cultural issue in my idea.

                              Cutting someone open with a knife is much more 'respectable' and 'justified' than spree shooting. ...

                              • For those who are looking for an overview of Va. Tech, here is a WaPo article...

                                I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891
