Breaking: Investigators are responding to reported school shooting in Marysvi[W:480]

Re: School shooting in Maryville, Washington

Gotta bring in the antigun movement nonsense don't you Turtle.
With yer continued cheap shot rants at "regisration" without seeing exactly who isn't getting registered at these gun shows out west and what they buy.

Toomey/Manchin are straight A NRA memebrs--never mind that though.
The same NRA thatnow holds up a surgeon general vote .

My point is, they always ask the same dumb question of "Why?" It's like asking why a crazy person, does crazy things. The reasons for unwarranted violence will never make sense.

It isn't asking the kid why. It is more about asking how he got there. Neglect? Poor coping mechanisms? Not outlet for aggression? Drugs? Asking why isn't bad, nor is asking how. It at least allows people to understand one thing they seem to be neglecting:

Kids today are not living the same life that we lived.

I have more in common with you old guys and your high school than kids now. And I graduated from hs in 2007. Social media has blow up so much and changed the way kids live their lives. They aren't learning proper responses to emotionally difficult situations, they are getting medications crammed down their throat, and on top of that they have mommies and daddies that are more selfish than ever.

Idk if you have worked in the education field, but talk to veteran educators. They will tell you kids have it a lot different now.

They've been asking why they're kids are bigger bullies and meaner than we were, but don't want to hear the answer, "because today's parents spoil them rotten with no discipline." That answer isn't going to change no matter how many times they ask, "Why"? But trying to figure out individual psycho cases is probably a benefit to society that requires professionals to figure out.

"Old guys"? Who's old, I'm mentally 22 yrs of age, just don't tell my body. ;)

Yes, it's a different world and that has a lot to do with things being out of whack. People seem lost.
 
Re: School shooting in Maryville, Washington

Where did I say parents SMTA--of course I didn't--CCW is for school personnell--even you should have know that.
You just can't admit yer wrong that some schools have CCW, as per my own thread.
And you will never admit that yer wrong--it's how you roll.
Why are you changing the meaning of CCW from teachers/administrators to parents?
In other words SMTA, why are you being so blatantly dishonest over an issue we probably agree on ?

Didn't go there. I sold to schools and they were one of the biggest high schools in my region. I probably sold them the cafeteria table at which they were seated.

Honest answer? Most people won't like it.


We've spent close to 40 years teaching children....

... that they're super-special snowflakes who are entitled to everything good...

... that they're just highly evolved animals, not immortal souls...

... that there is no God, or if there is there is no judgment by him...

... that it is okay to kill innocent babies in the womb if they are inconvenient...

.... that things like the 10 Commandments are outdated and all morality is relative....


... and then we wonder why stuff like this happens?

Many kids these days have received no discipline or morals from their parents.

They lack respect for others, and respect of others.

Lack of ethics/morals, the availability of guns, and bullying. A deadly combination.

That, suddenly lowering self-esteem from a bully to sub ground levels, and the availability of guns, then this seems to be the repeated result.

Agreed to somewhat that we didn't have as easy an access to firearms in my day, nor was bullying tolerated from school staff or parents. We've become an overly permissive culture in some respects and too restrictive in others.

Don't care about another thread.

The question was asked if guns were allowed in school - you said yes, which of course was not truthful.

Then again, that is certainly no surprise from you.

Nope, you surely can't, can you?

Your unbridled joy is showing.
Click to expand...

Unbridled joy - the only joy I feel - and that is way to far as its only mild satisfaction - is the knowledge that my comment about the uzi early in this thread was validated and proven true by a gun supporter. And this despite several here taking me to task for it and then the gun supporter bailed me out of any criticism by doing just what i said always happens in these sort of things.

Its as predictable as snow in Minnesota in the winter. Its as predictable as that knee reflex with the little rubber hammer.

And I do not know what you and others are all worked up about this event in Washington state. The body count was very low and we all know unless it hits double digits its just a blip on the news cycle and will be gone quickly and not even remembered.

And that is why you claimed the white elephant was the guns? Please spare me. This issue is about people. And I can tell that there are those who don't care and want to use this incident for political gains instead of trying to discuss how woefully behind we are in helping kids learn how to freaking cope with life without freaking out.
Click to expand...

And denial is not just a river in Egypt.

You got burned attacking me earlier over the uzi comment and now you hate it that I was proven true not too soon after despite the efforts of some here. So live with it and get past it.

You and I both know darn well from these incidents in the past that the discussion "gun free zones" is not too far back in the distance in any of these things.

Sorry for bringing reality into this - but its often inconvenient. Necessary - but inconvenient for some.

Not really - it has been a constant decline for some years now. We might as well remove 'One nation under God' from the pledge of Allegiance, as we surely don't act like it these days.

Ahhh a most excellent CON lament, now shall we use a few facts? I guess the Founders would be rolling over in their graves if we take 'under God' out of the Pledge.

Oh wait, they were against a Pledge and 'under God' was added during the Cold War, just two decades before many CONs mark the beginning of the end... :doh

Just to refine the CON 'answers', they are not answers, they are CON talking points.

40 years ago the Washington State School shooting wouldn't have made national news. There was no mass visual media circus the hype the shooting as .... (fill in the blank)... and we would continue to believe our sweet little CON dreams.

I had to chuckle at the CON who tries to use the fact HE never shot anyone and plays video games... I guess the same 'logic' can claim that since you have driven while impaired by alcohol and not had an accident means alcohol doesn't play a part in highway accidents... :roll:

If you have guns, you are a danger to yourself, your family and the community. Everyone in contact with you should be concerned and should remain watchful.

Reasonable persons. Those not taken by gun lust, who can examine a request for guns dispassionately.
