Another day another school shooting in the US

[Discombobul8]

I guess that Finland has such a good gun crime rate because no one actually has time to shoot each other because they are all to busy hanging themselves off pine trees.

Hehee, You got me.
That has been allways a mystery...I think it might have something to do with long dark period at winter, it ****s our brainchemistry or something. Perhaps we are getting depressed because of that.

 

[Discombobul8]

Don't get me wrong. Euthanasia is a good thing IMO. More people should use it.

Does this mean we don't have to hear how wonderful your country is and how shitty our country is now Cannibal I hope I hope?I mentioned your long dark cold depressing winters a long ago in one of your Finland blows America away tirades..I hope this ends it if you didn't do yourself already.

Ah, my American friend again. Seems your having trouble with the Finickity Finns, would you like some assistance from the Duck Army. We await only the discovery of WMD and we will happily launch our attack and destory him.

Or maybe we'll just send him some rope. . . . . .

Naw man I dont have a problem with the Finns,I dont envy them to be sure being a Floridian I just get tired of constantly constantly hearing my country trashed by someone that cant speak the language.All countries have their issues,the question is are you truly happy?I damn sure am!

 

[DogBoy]

But you dont speak Finnish and we do. Using your logic and the fact that Cannabal posted here first that means that you are wrong to post here as you dont speak his language. In the same way you have the right to stick up for your country, he has the right to slate it. He's also not trashing the whole country, just certain aspects of it though you are taking it literally as it's personal to you.

Warring about it just leads to upset, discord and duck invasion. If the anger continues i may well be forced to invade to inflict peace upon the region.

Be warned, we are massing at the thread borders. . . . . .

Every single word that emanates from the hole in his face trashes "certain aspects" of my country,that seems to be his purpose from the very beginning.It does get old man and yes I guess I take it personally anymore.Its like a reborn Nordic Sgt Stanko..

 

[DogBoy]

And just like Sgt provocation you rise to the bait so it's a valid way of pissing you off and getting a reaction.

Are you really that worried about what one dude thinks of your country? Do you think he holds such sway with us that his views will change ours?

Half of us hate the US for it's actions and half of us have sympathy, exactly the same as how people feel about most countries in the world. I see people every day call the UK a shithole and slate it, you know what. Good!!, maybe we need telling. Even if we didn't i'm not going to let it affect my feelings cos at the end of the day who knows best?

Next time he pisses you off with his opinion ask yourself one thing before you bite. Do i really give a shit what some dude i dont know thinks? Is he really that important? Are you?

I disagree with both of you on some things and agree on others but i dont enter shitfests about it. I simply hijack the thread with humour and destroy the chain of thought. simple, effective and noone gets hurt.

You are welcome to critisize my country, as long as you keep it constructive.
Calling names for example is "Argumentum ad hominem". Not constructive.

This is a parenting problem, not a gun problem. I see it ALL the time. Do you know how many 14 year olds sell crack? We should make crack illegal too....Oh, wait, crack IS illegal, and it doesn't change a ****ing thing. Crack, guns, underage prostitutes...all these things will ALWAYS be available. If you are raised right, by parents that give a ****, you won't endulge in dangerously illegal behavior.

Guns are not the problem, crack is not the problem, the government is not the problem, and I'm ****ing sick of idiots like the thread starter who always has someone else to blame. If your kid shoots up the ****ing school, it's your fault as the parent. It has nothing to do with politicians, government, gun makers, etc.

 

[Cannabal]

Or what if the shooter is just simply SICK ? I mean mentally. In desperate need of medical care. Could be some brainchemistry sickness going on, in that shooters head. That age is very important pubertetic age, he might have had some serious conflicts with his head

 

[Tokasaurus Rex]

How many more school shootings do you need before your politicians wake up to the reality that your weak gun laws are ****ed? When a 14 year old kid can walk into school with a gun in both hands SOMETHING'S A BIT WRONG

Yeah, weak gun control laws, right, sure. Unfortunately there is no law devised by mankind that can control our natures. The fact is human beings are going to be killing and maiming each other as long as we survive as a species, we're killers bro. It isn't pretty but it is what it is.

Scores of people die every day from completely preventable things but apathetic humans beings sit idly by and watch it happening. So a few people get offed with guns, think about all the people that are dying from aids, hunger, and pointless wars. I'm not saying what that kid did doesn't matter just putting things in perspective with the big picture.

What do you expect to happen in a country where it's everyones right to keep and bear arms? It's all a matter of weighing the violence with what we feel is the right way of life for us and rest are acceptable losses I guess.

The saddest thing about all this is that life seems to be so cheap these days.

That deserves to be repeated.
