Compassion Posted March 25, 2001 Share Posted March 25, 2001 Originally posted by Redcoat: It does sound silly and is laughable, but when you think about it those teachers have every right to be paranoid. How many school shootings has there been in the U.S.A in recent memory? According to the FBI, 20% less than 30 years ago when I started grade school... Of course some stat I read somewhere (but cannot attribute so take with the suspicion it deserves) said that coverage of such shootings have risen almost 800%. Anyway, I would not have been popular as the kid next to me and I used to fight wars during at least 2nd - 4th grades by drawing up armies on a piece of paper and then fighting it out by putting out pencils striaght down on the paper over one of our soldiers and then presing down in such a way as to make a pencil streak in a particular direction. WHere these "shots" crossed an 'enemy' soldier that soldier was crossed out (or, if we said it was a move, where out boy eneded up). Learned alot about concentration of firepower... we never thought of putting up blocking terrain... I'll have to teach that to my kids. And here I am a 35 year old who has never owned a gun (not that there's anyhitng wrong with that to my gun owning friends who have gven me countless hours of fun fireing AR-15's, AK's UZI's and assorted handguns amd shotguns... but my point is that plahing doens't mean translating to action or even pwnership of firearms) and never really thought about it... but I swear if my kids ever get that kind of crap I'll be calling on the nra AND the aclu for help. I'm rambleing, I know, but I've been having beers while fighting an 11,000 point defense scenario. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blaming schools and bullies for school shooting when they don't even know what there kids are doing or watching. Blaming people who play "wargames" for violence. Blaming gun owners for the nuts who shoot up schools. Cowards who expect a cop to lay his life on the line for them for $25,000 a year but will not take the resposibility to defend themseves let alone others. Cowards who like, no love the freedom they have in this country but don't respect the sacrifices made by others to give it to them. If thats NOT clear enough I can go on.

Man you guys crack me up. You see a simple word like church and you go off the deep end. When i say church I also mean synagogue, mosque,Temple, ... I do believe that the teaching of right and wrong by the various religions makes a big difference in society. The hedonistic teachings of modern liberalism and the lack of right and wrong have brought about the madness that we see today. A society when we blame an inanimate object for the lack of resposibility of individuals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you though, to say Church is almost as bad as hearing a gunshot to some people.
