I was merely pointing out another instance, nothing more. I have no interest in debating your gun law.
I had no idea it was out of order to post a related article; if it is to do with solely Fort Hood then half the posts in this thread are nothing to do with it either.
You are right. I jumped the gun. No pun intended...
I just don't want this thread going the way of every other gun thread in this forum. Non Americans telling Americans how to control their guns and gun rights in their own country.
My Dad blamed Comic Books and Rock and Roll music.
I see video games that are horribly violent and gory and detached from consequences. So called "music" filled with filth and more violence. TV shows easily accessible to all ages filled with violence, gore, and graphic sexual scenes. (Chicage PD e.g. had the Head of their "Intelligence Squad" shoving a suspects hand into a running garbage disposal to make him talk).
We have certainly become a very permissive society where all must always "Feel Good" about themselves. I see it almost every day in the school system. Get a Failing grade...It's the teacher's fault for not teaching to your Differentiated Intelligence Type. Stressed over homework...Homework is not permitted. all work done in school. In a second year German class I said: "Entschuldigen Sie mich hast du nicht die Glocken lauten horen?" got blank stares "Bitte beanworten Sie laut wenn Sie ihren Namen horen" more blank stares. She never speaks to us in German I was told. A Seventh grader had an entire bus of kids terrorized. He told them he had a gun in his backpack and was going to shoot them all in the heads...A stern talking to (Now Johney, you know it's not nice to shoot your classmates in the head) and back on the bus the next day.
I am at a loss
I'm glad the older generation has so much faith in us youth!
There will be exceptions to the rule and of course present company excluded.I'm glad the older generation has so much faith in us youth!
I blame the guy that invented the washing machine.
Stay with me.
There was a time when the basic needs of existence took up so much time that nobody had time for any such nonsense. The idea of "teen age" was silly. Everyone worked to just survive.
The advance of technology has created a self-centered mind set that is obvious to anyone at a mall. Children taking "selfies". Heads down, texting every minute of their self absorbed lives.
This is a "Me" thing. Everything revolves around "me".
I, and my friends, are the most important things around.
Now take this to a religion level. We have a self absorbed self-pitying malcontent with delusions.
Bang. There it is.
