holy ****, his flash movie is freaky similar to what he did, minus the grenade into the cop car and the KKK guy getting shot.
It sucks that he had to kill a bunch of random innocents on his way out. <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
You generally don't have to worry about bullying when you're out of school. Most people have their own problems, so they could care less about you. Kids don't have any real problems, so they've got nothing better to do than to mess around and fight with others.

I guess i quoted you bullethead is why are you friends with the people who gave you so much crap? They "respect" you b/c you can fight and remain calm in the process? Is that it or is their something else?
I myself would never ever become friends with the (insert adjective and noun here) that always harrassed me.
It's human nature to pick on the weak...I've never been picked on, so I wouldn't really know. Most of the kids that I see get picked on probably don't deserve it, but that's life.

In regards to the shooting, it's terrible. Any time innocent lives are taken for such a stupid reason, it's just tragic.

Having been a 7 year old in a police station at 4am, being investigated by the tender glove of a police surgeon for abuse, I'm occasionally inclined to look upon the problems of someone who "gets picked on" with a degree of cynicism.
But the level of anguish is relative to the person suffering it. There's no "scale".
The victim in all these tragic incidents (they are not tragedies, learn English) is the person who carried out the shootings. The people that died are just bystanders to society's abuse of the unimportant individual.
All of us, every day, quietly neglect the rambling drunk, the homeless guy, the geek, the angry bully and walk away, focusing on our own problems, pretending that we have <b>good</b> reasons to not care.
Society's increasing mobility, the dissipation of the family unit, the breakdown of the community, these are all contributing factors that leave us feeling alone in a world that we have difficulty connecting with.
You guys here are all at least part of something. You have connections. You have a voice. Treasure this little community, because there aren't many of them left. Those of us who post with the angriest voices are frequently those who shed the most tears .

But the level of anguish is relative to the person suffering it. There's no "scale".
The victim in all these tragic incidents (they are not tragedies, learn English) is the person who carried out the shootings. The people that died are just bystanders to society's abuse of the unimportant individual.
All of us, every day, quietly neglect the rambling drunk, the homeless guy, the geek, the angry bully and walk away, focusing on our own problems, pretending that we have <b>good</b> reasons to not care.
Society's increasing mobility, the dissipation of the family unit, the breakdown of the community, these are all contributing factors that leave us feeling alone in a world that we have difficulty connecting with.
You guys here are all at least part of something. You have connections. You have a voice. Treasure this little community, because there aren't many of them left. Those of us who post with the angriest voices are frequently those who shed the most tears .
We are <b>all</b> responsible. But we can all make a difference. All it takes is the will to do so. It may not be fashionable, but next time someone lashes out at you, try and see the human in pain behind the words, rather than a juicy target for a witty comeback.

Holy crap, was that made possible by viewers like us, too?
On a serious note: I'm forced to concur. Good job.
Not true,from my own experience in Highschool, everytime someone tried to 'tease' me it was because of their own insecurities, and no I'm not kidding, I've gotten to know most of the people that wanted to kill me just 2 years ago. <!--QuoteEnd--> </td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'> <!--QuoteEEnd-->
Are you saying a high schooler's insecurities are "real problems?"

If you can't feel secure and happy then life is just a big empty. You can't always expect people to think of the sociological system they are in. At a certain point, only the personal level can be taken into account because, in the end, that's all a person has.

Also I always get **** off at the choice of victims of things like this.
It is one (still very bad) thing to die b/c you deeply offended someone and then they kill you for it.
Its another to not even know the person who kills you and you die simply b/c you where there.
