Here's another take on things, well reasoned and makes perfect sense. Worth the read:

Worth the read? You're kidding right? Hahaha.

It's simply a rationalization to allow people to carry guns.

"Signs of Intelligence?" --- sorry, none in that article.

Maaaybe if you had more to say with well supported arguments about it, I'd be more inclined to give your statement more weight. Hm?

on topic:
guns are not the problem; society and the parents are not at fault.
i dont think there's anybody to blame but himself.
talagang iba lang pag-iisip nyan, IMO.

Here's another take on things, well reasoned and makes perfect sense. Worth the read:

[SIZE=2]In recent years, however, armed Americans -- not on-duty police officers -- have successfully prevented a number of attempted mass murders. Evidence from Israel, where many teachers have weapons and have stopped serious terror attacks, has been documented. Supporting, though contrary, evidence from Great Britain, where strict gun controls have led to violent crime rates far higher than ours, is also common knowledge.[/SIZE]

According to the 2004-2005 figures from the Home Office, there were 73 homicides in the whole of England and Wales. That's 5 more from the previous year. We're living in a war zone! The Scots shouldn't be faring any better, and the folks in Northern irelend shouldn't have stopped shooting at each other.

The jokers at the Home Office should also include toy guns with flashing lights, squirt guns and the likes in its statistics ... since a big chunk of the gun crimes include airguns, ball-bearing, immitation, and for god's sake, even paintball guns. Pathetic, that they have to include these just to push the figures up.

Yessir ... I feel a lot safer walking the streets of America.

And BTW, the UK government should stop discriminating against handguns. Why should owners of rifles keep theirs?

o kaya sa Napocor tower.

O kaya nanghohostage ng sariling anak.

O kaya nanghohostage ng bus na puro studyante tapos nagpapatawag ng politiko.

O kaya nag aamok na may dala itak.

O kaya nagrun for president at babayaran daw ang utang ng pilipinas.

Sympathy for the Devil --

Can u blame that Cho guy?

He was picked-on/bullied in high school. He was an outcast. A misfit. Little nerdy asian guy with asian looks and asian accent in a school full of white kids.

Hey chinky eyes! Ching chong chai siomai mami siopao! But that's chinese.

The guy was korean. But to white people, chinese/korean/japanese are all the same. Kids can be very cruel. Remember how we made fun of other kids?

They gave him a hard time. They gave him a complex. They filled the poor guy with anger, resentment, and hate.

His was the ultimate revenge of the nerd.

What he did was what every poor bullied kid wish they could do.

Granted, he wanted revenge. But taking a life is not one's decision to make. Let alone 32 lives, plus the 20-others (tama ba?) who were injured (collateral damage? or failed attempts? we don't know)...

Yes, we can still blame him. The others were responsible for bullying him, etc, but aren't we all victims at some point? He just did not have the ability to control his emotions, which became a fantasy he played in his mind, to which he enacted it in real life by what we've just read about.

We're all responsible for our actions (or inactions).

Let's not start assuming it was only whites who picked on him. When Cho mentioned gold necklaces, he was most likely referring to blacks and/or Hispanics since they were the most likely to wear such jewelry. I don't like to stereotype. But, it seems like I have to in this case.

Might I mention that Pinoys (in RP) can be just as cruel. They're just as likely to pick on "foreigners". I know that first hand. If I stayed a few more years in RP, it wouldn't be far-fetched if I went the same path as Cho did considering I knew how to get blasting caps, C4, and guns in the Philippines before I even turned 21.

the best thing to do is to learn from this tragedy and hope there won't be a next time.because we all know this matter is not to be taken lightly.

We all know it's bound to happen again. Just look at the history of all these shootings. So long as there are psychos and idiots who have easy access to guns, it's just a matter of when the next massacre will occur.

nakakalungkot.....

[oldblue]

accdg. to the news, he was also a bully that was bullied hehehe

a professor once recalled that he was in her class. you know what he did, he took pictures of all the legs and mini-skirts of his classmates. he also submitted disturbing creative writing papers.

that's why the normal ones thought he was a "freak" of some sort. and this angered him more ...

There's all kinds of psychos here. Not all are bent on total destruction. I once shared a dorm with someone who took a Polaroid shot of every single time he took a dump. He kept them all in a stack of photo albums. Once in a while he showed me a "world record". He's also afflicted with a syndrome where he has to wash his hands almost constantly. Otherwise, he was ok. But, I'd hate to think what would happen if he snapped....

[empy]

there is some kind of bullying that occurs in every school or neighborhood in the world. and as far as i can remember, it's only this POS and the Columbine kids that snapped like this.

of course i can blame them. psycho human garbage.

if this is the outlook you are facing then, it will happen again, if we learn from these mistakes we can somehow prevent these shootings from happening again, there are many factors that affect these massacres, factors that affect the beggining to it's end,it's not a simple who has the gun or who did it, try studying every massacre that happened and ask yourself if somehow anybody or anything could have been done to prevent such a massacre from happening or beggining and see how many lives could have been saved.as i have said we can't take these things so lightly.

I had painful memories in high school where these astig frat-backed bullies are giving me and other students a hard time. Nagsumbong ang ilan sa Principal. OO, naboljak nga sila (suspension for a few days & a summon to their parents). After that, yung nagsumbong, pinag-initan lalu, by their "resbak." On of the whistleblowers is so scared that he didn't attend classes for several days. He requested to be transferred to another class. At the end of the school year (3rd yr), he transferred to another school.

As for me and the others who couldn't, we just bear with their antics and avoid them whenever we can...even an eyeball. While many wished them they were gone...permenantly, I was fantasizing the same way Cho did, spraying a hail of bullets on these scum and their buddies.

Maniwala kayo o hindi...my uncle entrusted to my care a couple of assault rifles, with a couple of boxes of ammo. Holy cow...the power of vengance is just sitting in my cabinet!! But I hang on to my sanity.

I was grateful I've graduated, without cracking up. And the weapons are still safe in my cabinet, until my uncle claimed them a few months after my HS graduation.

That was 20+ years ago...pero dala ko pa rin ang sakit, at ang galit ko sa kanila. As long as I don't meet or see them, the better.
