Here is a rather unfortunate but I suspect all-too-typical an example: TEXTING THE ACTIONS It's all to do with people... Only in the USA?! Martin See new freedom: Mageia Linux Take a look for yourself: Linux Format The Future is what We all make IT (GPLv3) |

Gee just think what may have happened Do you mean the one who was called Steenkamp? Perhaps most people simply should not have guns to hand. All in our only one world, Martin See new freedom: Mageia Linux Take a look for yourself: Linux Format The Future is what We all make IT (GPLv3) |

ML1... You're screwed up and we're screwed up. Everyone, every country, and every culture is screwed up. So? Those not you. Do not believe in your Cultural Superiority, or Exceptionalism. Why do you continue your Superiority Rants? It makes no sense.

I See, Less Killing Due to 'Lack' of 'Proper' 'Tools' equals...? Yeah, As Long As Some One, 'is' Not The 'Some' 'One' Dying. Lower 'Numbers' Always Brings About A Contented Happy People.

Oh dear, America's issues working it's way further North. This is so heartbreaking. Its in an area of Canada where there are more guns because families have them for hunting. Not sure yet what the details of this case is, but as a teacher I am well aware that one day, an angry teenager may get access to a gun and I will be in the position of having to protect my students. I will probably end up dead and leave my sons without a mother. We have to practice drills for an armed shooting in the school. Guns should not be so easily available. I don't feel safe, and I don't think my children are safe. This gun obsession has to stop. Reality Internet Personality |

Oh dear, America's issues working it's way further North. If not guns it will be knives, bombs or something else. If you really want it to stop then you need to change culture into tolerance of others. Unfortunately, the God of Abraham teaches the opposite. but realize tolerance means you don't get upset with misogynistic put downs ![]() ![]() |

Unfortunately, the God of Abraham teaches the opposite. It may have been bred into our species long before we were homo sapiens. |

Unfortunately, the God of Abraham teaches the opposite. Yes, I think so. Competition for resources / reproduction. It seems only in Sci-Fi worlds like Star Trek where resources are free (replicators) that there is little conflict between humans. Tearing that portion of our brain stem out isn't going to be easy and may not be desirable long term. ![]() ![]() |

Bombs aren't easy to get. Someone wielding a knife is not going to hurt so many people. I know, I've been in schools where students have bought in knives. Had those students had guns I probably wouldn't be here today. You simply cannot equate knives and guns. Reality Internet Personality |

Maybe on US curriculum, but I've taught high school chemistry for over 10 years and bomb making has never come up. Besides, making a bomb would take effort. Angry teenagers and effort don't usually go hand in hand. Reality Internet Personality |

Es99... Many decades ago. We teenagers (AKA Stupid Humans), would make explosives, from easily obtained (then) items. We would place it in a bottle, and attempt (sometimes successfully) to 'explode' it. It was a lot of fun. Back then. The adults would yell at us. Saying they would tell our parents. Not the Police.
