It's a natural defense mechanism for reading tragic news of this sort..

After Dunblane it's just knives over here. We've not graduated back to guns as yet. The guy that did this was obviously mentally deranged.

AS per the previous discussion on children with problems, I was at a conference recently regarding learning difficulties etc, and the guy who was running it said that just about everyone has some kind of learning difficulty be it mild or severe. He went through loads of tests and it was quite interesting. Bad parenting has, however been glossed over, only being chucked (as ever) towards the single mothers. Quite frankly, just about every unruly child I have ever taught has two parents who were masquerading as imbeciles. If little Johnny did something wrong, it was put down to their 'problems' and never punished. I'm not saying get the belt out, but at least tell the kids why they did something wrong and what made it wrong.

Schools are pretty unruly places at the best of times. Adding guns to the mix is just astonishingly bad.

I, for one, do not think the problem was that the band was down.I think that the problem may have been
that there was a Stonehenge monument on the stage that was in danger of being crushed by a dwarf.

Spare us your gallows humor.


I've always found humor to be the best medication.


It is - when it's actually funny.

In my day, we had to walk uphill for 5 miles in 7 feet of snow for our violence.

Cause the line about getting Academic is a twisted quote from Ving Rhames in Pulp Fiction.

Our rifles were made out of cardboard tubes, laundry detergent, stones, paste, and gasoline...

Must not have seen that part. A part of me is surprised that we haven't seen more bad jokes over this, the JCC being what it is.

I guess my point from earlier was that Kent University was a BIG thing back in the past

kent state was not a school shooting. kent state students were simply shot by national guardsmen.


There is, however, a certain bell tower at the University of Texas.....
