i say that everyone who was not directly affected by it, needs to stop talking about it. it'll be amazing if something like this doesn't happen again within a years time. the nedia blows it way up, everywhere you turn, someone is talking about it. it's gonna lead to a copycat. some suicidal idiot will want to go out famously, and do something worse, yes, i agree that it's tragic, but it's over. at least for the general population anyway. the shooter is dead, he's no longer a threat to society. the real focus needs to be on PRIVATE counseling for the families, friends, and victims.

Often there are signs, but the ones closest to them tend to be in denial that their loved one would be capapble of something so evil.

Dear God,
Why do you allow such violence in our schools?
signed,
a concerned student.


Dear concerned student,

I am not allowed in schools.
God

I just want to say, syb, that religion does NOT stop people from doing bad things... Forcing God into public schools wont stop anything.....

The solution to end gun violence is not to take away freedom of religion, if you want God to be apart of your childs education, there are plenty of religious schools happy to help.

America was never a "Christian nation"

I am just disturbed when I hear that people actually think America is a Christian Nation. I don't say things unless I have the information and knowledge to back it up, and that is all.

You can't believe that we are all here to pursue anything we want and also believe that we are based on a religion. That's a contradiction.

Believing contradictions is the sign of a versatile mind.

This is not about religion or any god. This is about a violent act committed but a person with an obvious psychological issue. There have been a number of discussions on facebook relating to the escalating violence in this country. The USA is now one of very few country's that are still allowing GMO foods, chlorine, and fluoride in the water along with a multitude of medicines and chemical run off, like Round-up. Our farmland is contaminated with the same chemicals that are in our water. Some of the side effects of these chemicals include: cancer, DNA mutation, diabetes, hypothyroidism (could that be why we're all over weight?) neurological disorders, tumors and many more. They are still unaware of the long term side-effects, these are just the preliminary results.
So, what is the chance that the chemicals have anything to do with the escalating violence, escalating neurological disorders, escalating medical problems, escalating cancers
BTW, fluoride was originally tested in German Concentration Camps. It was used to make the detainees docile. Fluoride is part of the chemical make up of Prozac. Not everyone responds to these chemicals in a positive way. Some people can become violent. I remember news broadcasts about Prozac side-effects.
We mourn the loss of life. But instead of simply placing blame, we need to find out the cause of the psychological disorder that plagued this young man and insure steps to prevent this incident from occurring again, elsewhere. First step, a security guard with a gun in every school.

Well that's where we disagree. I think people accept those contradictions because of cosmic loneliness. The need to know that you serve a greater purpose than just being alive.

Good gawd. Enough. When you get right down to it, there will always be a better more efficient way to kill. And a lunatic willing to put that better way into practice. No amount of gun control or psychiatric care is going to stop it. Although horrific, 26 kids and teachers is statistically insignificant. The same can be said for the 3000+ people who died in 9/11, when compared to metropolitan NYC. And the couple 100k who died in Hiroshima and Nagaski, when compared to the population of Japan or if expanded to the world population. The numbers are to great. If they stop 1000 nut jobs who want to die and take a crowd with them, there is still the one that will be successful.

... we're human, and when something this horrific and confusing happens, trauma at this level, people need to talk and need to try to make sense of something so senseless...I do understand that too.
