Another school shooting in the US

Another example of kids who never learnt to take the knocks the world gives us.

A common type of violence outbreak that characterises the US as a nation. It glories in violence and everywhere you turn you find it, in the classrooms, in the movies, on the battlefields, in foreign cities, on the telly.
A very violent nation. I mean, when kids go to school with guns, so much so that they have metal decectors in some (ie this is not unnormal), then what else is there to say?
The leading man is a violent tosser, and it permeates right the way down and through society there.

When it's clear the positive discrimination laws are to blame.
Those crazy liberals, there's nothing they won't try.
One could also argue that the human race is founded upon violence...fela fan said:

You can't park here sir
well brining in gun control in the states would lead to two things
nice law abiding people would hand weapons in
criminals wouldn't
foaming at the mouth gun owners would fight as its part of there constitution to have the right to be armed
now how you take guns off bad guys while allowing normal people to have them for self defence. not just against other people but bears cougars snakes and rabid racoons etc

But you'd have to argue your case mate, and likely lose.
Whereas with the US, it is historical fact. Back in adam and eve's day there were no tools to record history...
In any case, the US is a very violent country, and violence can be seen in several forms throughout american culture. I'm not saying other humans aren't violent, but these shootings are so common in america, and rare anywhere else. And which other country has metal detectors at schools?

Just reread what you said there agricola. If teachers find part of their job description as arms training, then that would indicate that society has plumbed the depths and has taken just about all the wrong turnings.
It would have to start again.
Oh, wait a minute, maybe that is a kernel of an answer...

I don't think Bush can take personal responsibility for this unbalanced 14 year old.

You obviously missed post #15 and my specific points in the other posts.
I said the US was founded on violence.
I said other countries have violence (notice use of present tense), but that the US was a country with extreme amounts of violence.
I will add, especially for a so-called developed nation.
And lastly british history is steeped in violence. And anglo-americanism is a byword for violence, both within their own cultures, and to other cultures.
So just what was your bloody point man?

It's this:
You seem to be arguing two different things. That sentence above implies that the president, Bush, is a violent tosser, and that therefore, the country has followed his lead, and acts violently.
Then, you argue that the country was founded in violence, and that violence permeates the place. If that's true, then the president's propensity to violence is sort of beside the point in understanding the occurrence of violence in that society.

Um... Nope, its not. Having lived there for a bit and visited every once in a while I've *never* seen anything violent. A minority of Americans are "violent" but I wouldn't call it an extremely violent society.
Course, if yo've got stats to back this up...
fela fan said:
Um.. Nope, it isn't... I've never heard anyone say anything like this.

Yeah, well i'm an anglo-american aren't I. I have long recognised the verbal violence we are prone to. Never mind the other kind, which i can say is beyond me.
I try not to let the verbal bit loose, but it comes out sometimes. But i'm in good company, you can see it all over these boards.

But it's kind of unsettling, though: you're supposed to be Mr. Mellow, chilling in the jungle, but out comes this string of invective.

String of invective? Where?
In any case, if it's unsettling for anyone it'll be me.
And it ain't. I flip between being mellow and getting back to my roots/genes. No worries at all, and life ain't boring.
