That was very well written and I think the only thing we disagree on is global warming but lets not make this another global warming thread. When Columbine happened it seemed sensible that guns might be the reason but we see this happening more and more, gun laws haven't changed and it has happened in countries with more strict gun laws then in the united states. Had perhaps the staff in the school been armed and trained and metal detectors been placed on the door then perhaps their would be less casualties.
So lets not argue weather tougher or weaker gun laws would of made a difference. That is an old debate and does not address todays reality. There is an old question, does reality imitate art or does art inmate reality. We have a problem. Kids are learning the wrong thing, either though their parrents, their peers or the media. It is not just vedeo games either. It is everywhere, TV shows, games shows, talk news, talk radio, music, advertisements, their peers and their parents and before we do anything we must accept this.
