i think maybe we ought to let our kids fail

i cant tell you how many times my team didnt win a trophy growing up....made me practice harder....and i never did win in little league....but disappointment became something that my dad told me life would deal me....and made it a life lesson for me

are we teaching our kids how to deal with losing? with failure? how to win with grace?

and yes, i think there is too much violence in today's society....what is the "right" amount? is it damaging kids? i dunno....

i just threw out two ideas on what could possibly be contributors.....i didnt say they were definite factors....

you can agree, disagree, or do what you did....post an idiotic statement

your choice....isnt life full of fun choices

Random killings have been documented going back hundreds of years. The point is, why are they occurring so often now. Although they occurred in the past, they occur much more frequently now.

Hell, as a youth, I could order guns from a Sears catalog and have them sent right to my house. No one I ever knew in the town I was raised, shot anyone.



He hasn't done a damn thing to help America! He was taught by Rev. Wright..."God Damn America"...and he does his best to make it so!



That's part of it. "I'm Special" is another part.

I think you said it, and didn't need 19 paragraphs to get to the point. People have been raised thinking they're special individuals who have no obligation to society.

Yeah, the more guns philosophy is working so well.
 
Guns, guns, more guns, guns, more guns.

Chicago and DC were perfect examples of what happens when only honest people are banned from owning guns. That worked really well didn't it?

and guess what, the people buying them aren't causing any more crime. Crime is mainly caused by inner city blacks who are not in legal possession of said firearms

One can easily purchase guns within shouting distance of both. It merely demonstrates that a national approach is necessary versus a mishmash of local ones.

Gun banners who pretend they care about innocents but revel in any tragedy they can use to pummel the NRA and gun owners

he was an inner city "black" ?

What an insane idiocy... that's why we die more from guns in the US than in any other country... it's because the racist scum NRA is having its way for decades now... and unless we vote them out, this horror will continue.

those who do not learn history are doomed to repeat it. Only someone clueless about prohibition and the war on drugs would think banning guns is a smart idea. Its something the far left dreams of because they hate the NRA thwarting so many Democrat candidates but no one honestly believes that the crap the democrat party pushes is really designed to stop violent criminals

:"the racist scum" NRA members are not the ones causing the problems. Its inner city blacks who commit most of the murders. 80% or more of murderers are caused by people who are felons meaning they cannot legally own guns. and about the same number of people murdered are mopes themselves. Gun bans are nothing more than the rantings of the far left trying to harass people who don't buy into the leftwing agenda

Yes, the NRA, the true victims of gun violence.

That's really stupid : but the Gun banners really love tragedies to whine over. ITs funny how the Bannites spend so much time whining about gun owners and the NRA rather than the real cause of these shootings which is NOT the NRA, not legal gun ownership and not the Second Amendment

You do realize YOU were the one who brought up the NRA and "gun banners" in this thread, yes? Quit your whining.

You're the one who started it by pretending that the hard core gun banners actually care about the innocent victims more than using these tragedies to advance their disgusting schemes

When you say **** like that you paint anyone who doesn't share your infatuation with guns as some sort of ****wad that would wish death upon innocent people to further a cause.

The fact remains, that the hard core Bannite organizations and their pet turds in congress who scream for more gun bans every time some asshole wants his 15 minutes of fame by shooting a bunch of co-workers or others up, are not really interested in saving innocent lives. Its all a facade.

I said not one word about banning guns. And, BTW, it's the Democratic Party.

But even a blind person can see that we have the greatest rate of gun violence in western society because of the sheer number and ease of access to guns.

There used to be an arcade video game called Postal, in which you, a postal worker, won by shooting as many people as you can. It was one of my favorites, along with Death Race, in which you would try to run over as many pedestrians as possible. That was another one of my favorites. :mrgreen:

I heard about that game years ago. IIRC, it was part of the anti-violent-video-game hysteria of the 1990s.

well how come gun violence rates have been declining while the number of guns has gone up?

and I say So what. Most gun deaths are suicides and the vast majority of the rest are criminals killing criminals. Not facts that demand we give up any more freedoms so whiner can complain they are DOING SOMETHING

OH I hardly ignore such tragedies. Its why I teach people how to survive such attacks and how to properly deploy firearms to deal with such threats. People who think those who engage in premeditated mass murder are going to be deterred by another stupid gun control law are either idiots or dishonest
