| O&A Board Regular Registered: Oct. 00 | The shooter is such the stereotypical kid to do something like this...they people they interviewed said he was picked on alot in school and never stuck up for himself. I guess this was his way of showing them...killing 2 kids and injuring almost a dozen others. This stuff upsets me so much :-( What are we gonna do about this?"OA.com Where the men become boys and the women are play toys" Student of Faceman's Teen Foreign Exchange Program | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Nov. 00 | Too many parents think their kids are perfect and noone can tell them different. And teachers are underpaid and overworked. Classrooms are so crowded that teachers can't give students any individual attention. And kids don't "rat" on other kids. And if you try to mandate yearly psychological evaluation, the ACLU will come down on you like an A-bomb. So kids slip through cracks in the system the size of the Grand Canyon.

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Oct. 00 | Does the kid feel better? No just joking, don't all jump on me. But seriously, being in HS I am kinda one of those kids who are bascially ignored (kinda like on here) but I wouldn't go out and kill anybody. I am not that stupid.

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Jan. 01 | *DING* *DING* *DING* Kid Afrika hit the nail right on the head. It is the school's job to educate children, to teach them to read and write, math, etc. It is the parents job to teach their kids morals and values, etc. And in answer to the original question, TRAGEDY. The kids that are killed in these incedents are not necessarily weak or stupid as is suggested by the theory of thinning the herd, just in the wrong place at the wrong time.

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Jan. 01 | SpiderBobquote: I am glad to hear that. But it is unfortunate that there are "stupid" kids out there who have no respect for life, and don't give a rat's ass about the out-comes of killing another living creature, let alone another human. Kid is right, and so is Fez.Parents have to be responsible for teaching their children a respect for life. Teachers, coaches, etc... can not continue to turn their backs on what they see as children just being children. Ridiculing and berating piers goes way to far anymore. "It's torture" for kids who don't fit in and when they snap, they really snap. | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Oct. 00 | Thinning the herd was what the Columbine killers figured they were doing. Of course, they were just nuts. Thinning the herd would be if no students died, just the shooter.  | ||||

| Psychopath Registered: Oct. 00 | Well good thing none of these kinds of kids post here. They kill us all by now. Anyway why the fuck does it aways have to be the parents. Parents cant always be with their kids. The problem is society. The bar is set so high for kids these days. They have preasure of fitting in and pressure of drugs and alcohol. In todays world drug use for kids is so common by they reach the age of 12. My point is it cant always be the parents fault. We were all kids once too and if we had a problem we hid it from our parents. Also in todays economy it takes both parents to work and provide so alot of the kids arent getting what they need from their parents. Only thing is the parents dont see that because they probably feel that they are doing a good job providing as it is. I blame society and schools. The only people that say wheres the parents are the ones who dont have kids. What do we say when an adult does this act of violence. Its a fucked up tragedy that ruined alot of peoples lives today we as people have to unite and stop acting ridiculous when people are different. | ||||

| Psychopath Registered: Feb. 01 | these types of shootings are the by-products of uncaring parents, gun control, skools that don't give a shit (which is about 95% of them), and if you notice it's always these upper middle class white kids that have nothing else to do. I say yes to concealed weapons, at least there'd be someone to fire back. Fuck y'all.  | ||||

| Hanger-On Registered: Jan. 70 | quote: That's the problem, everyone blames somebody else, but nobody's accepting the blame, or doing anything about it. Schools are overpopulated, kids don't get the attention they need... BLAH, BLAH, BLAH. The bottom line is that the home is the single most important part of a child's life. Most homes these days have the moral depth of a spit puddle. Parents are the key, they should institute some screening before you are allowed to have kids.

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Nov. 00 | quote: Not! Yeah. that's why the SAT's were changed to MAKE THEM EASIER. That's why every new edition of school books are SIMPLIFIED with information that might CONFUSE the poor kids taken out. And on and on... Society is LOWERING the bar too far! Kids are FALLING to the level of expectation! And kids aren't the only ones being talked down to! Listen to the media and the government and they'll tall you your too stupid and irresponsible to know what your doing You need to protected from things like ARTWORK and VIDEO GAMES because you can't handle them, but the GOVERNMENT can because they're smarter than you are. But then again, reading a lot of posts and listening to people talk on the street, maybe they're right...

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Oct. 00 | these types of shootings are because of gun control?? Dude are you on crack??? The reason why the kid got his hands on a gun is because there isnt enough. Dont even get me started, i can through facts at you left and right about gun control and i doubt the kid decided to openfire in the school because of it.
