I'm sorry, but in my opinion (!), that is just absolute bullsh.it, I actually laughed out loud when I read that Dr.D, no offense though :P
Praying with the whole class, every morning, doesn't stop the average lunatic from shooting kids.. It never has done that before, it's absolutely stupid to think THAT'S the cause for it IMO. Hey, here in Germany, religion is kept out of school for a really long while now, no prayers, just voluntary religion classes (you have to choose between that, which is divided into catholic/protestant, or a sort of Philosophy/Ethics class).. guns are NOT easily allowed here...and our "massacre" rate is lower, even proportionally, considering the amount of citizens. The "right to bear arms" does make it easier, though it's not the cause. You wanna know why there's an progressive increase in these massacres ? Cause the more happen, the more people in desperate/extreme situations find out about them, some very few might think that's an option for their problem, might get "inspired".. making someone (who might not believe in God) pray every moring won't change sh.it about the nutheads going crazy :P

I dont agree in prayers, or praying for somebody else with do any good... But I think it's very important to have faith (however you interpret that) in yourself/others.

I've never said a prayer and I've never shot anyone. lol ignoring theres thousands of other things different in the world today than in the past that can influence a shooting besides taking prayers out of schools.
LOL

@syz...i know & i wasnt saying otherwise
@Dr...the early decades of the 1900's were just as, if not more bloody thn the last few decades. BUT my point was that u specifically blamed the cause of all this on the removal of god from schools, when it is not. im not telling u prayer doesn't work at all, and its great that for u it does. im not debating religion here, just pointing out that ur thinking here is very flawed and not based in reality.

I was just saying how it wasn't as common as a problem. Now it's once a month there's a school massacre, and it's a shame. But don't tell me that prayer doesn't work, when I know for myself that it does. I am blessed;)

Religion is the key word. Even to the untrained eye, we can see that the average American Christian contradicts the New Testament on a daily basis lol.

you can still pray in school, by law no one can tell u not to pray as long as it isnt disrupting the class, the only thing that was taken out was school led group prayer and if its reinstated thn prayers from all religions represented in the class rooms will hv to be performed which means everybody & their mother will b up in arms complaining they dont want their kids hearing other prayers etc. how did prayer work when unarmed students at Kent State were gunned down during a peaceful protest of the Vietnam War? they were shot for hoping to save human lives. why didnt prayer work in 1927 in Bath township of Michigan when the school was bombed & 45 people died? why didn't prayer work for decades in the HEAVILY religious south when black & white citizens including women & children were abused & lynched? dont get me wrong i applaud ur dedication to ur faith but what u said is just a blatant misinterpretation of reality

discussing how to make things better is a good thing... ignoring a problem doesn't help the problem... sending our prayers is a good thing... it shows we have compassion and that we care... sometimes a few kind words can make someone feel a little bit better... we joke with eachother on here about ut3 skill, but i don't think anyone on here is without compassion

Wow guns aren't the problem. All of these shootings didn't occur until "they" took GOD out of your school systems. I used to pray every mornin in school until the 5th grade then someone decided it hurt someone else's feelings. Prayer does work.. End of discussion

I think it will. I mean it would be easier in general to defend myself having someone attack me with a knife than a gun. The point is, the people of Colorado wouldve been less wounded if the person had a knife rather than a gun. Same theory applies to the school... BAN GUNS. FKIN SOME CRAZY ASS LIVES IN AMERICA |

its ridiculous, everytime we have a widely publicised shooting, its never the right time to talk about ways to fix the problem. people always say 'oh we need to honor the families u shouldn't bring up gun control yet' etc but thats a load of crap. unless u were directly affected by this event, ur 'honoring the families' rarely sums up to anythn more thn going about ur regular day and even more likely tht unless someone mentions the shooting, u dont even give it a second thought. the families & friends are grieving regardless, and it already goes without saying that our sympathies go out to them, but if we aren't discussing how to fix the problem and doing something about it, then we are allowing this to happen all over again, we become part of the problem.
also something to consider, when Katrina hit the gulf, we didnt go around saying nows the time to honor the families and nothing else...no we took a look at why the levies failed, and how they could improve the defenses...the looked at what the problem was and they fixed it. |

But why can't ppl saying something for the family's first? If he would have stabbed them would you be able to talk about the family's loss first then, or would it be about how steak knifes should be no more than 1 inch long? I'm not b****ing at philln or deadaim. I was talking about the media. I only quoted them to prove the word gun ban was mentioned in this thread. I was stating my opinion on media coverage of the shooting and how they make it more about what to do about guns then they do about honoring the deceased and heros that saved the children that could have lost there lives. You wanna talk about a gun ban? Its the dumbest thing ever. To many guns out there already. Taking gins from the innocent would only help the criminals that will get/have a gun already.
Once again not attacking you Iamgaming folk, so u simmer down. |
