Another School Shooting: This One in Toronto

    It happened a few hours ago so details are sparse. At least one 14 year old boy is dead.

    Click here for the story at CTV.ca.

    I'm disgusted, and my question, as usual, is where are the parents?

    Parents should really spend more time with their kids. Kids need consequences.

    Actually all kids should go live at a campus school until they get 18yrs old. But of uncourse let them come home on summer vacations. Both parents working its not easy taking care of teenagers.:eek:

    we have to ask that why those things happen in America ? Why not at the other countries. What it the different thing ?

    I think American parents give their childreen too much freedom, and don't spend enough time with them..

    I can't work out why America doesn't understand that the amount of guns in the community is directly related to amount of shootings. You can't have mass shootings without guns. Infact you can't have any shootings without guns.

    Don't tell me the Canadians are joining the crazy gun club now? :(

    And you can't stop kids with illegal guns if you don't gave guns. oooOOOoo.

    We need a Eugenics program.

    And you don't need to stop kids with illegal guns if there's no illegal guns.

    It's not a trick. No guns = no guns.

    Damn, seems like we really need to rethink our stratergy.
    Maybe people should just be educated in schools instead
    of being taught how to handle guns :confused:

    That doesn't answer my question. How do you stop illegal weapons from being proliferated throughout the entire god damn world eh? You can't, eh.

    Guns do not kill, it is those who are insane that wield them and kill with them. A eugenics program would stop bad parents from propagation of poor quality children. Humans are pumping out an inferior product from the wombs, and must be stopped from both producing, and then corrupting through raising them. Compulsory gun ownership to law abiding good upstanding citizens should be enforced with light concealed weapons so that criminals cannot hold up un-armed men and women. If my aunt would have been packing she'd not have been hassled in California - where many of the illegal weapons come in from MEXICO.

    If you banned guns you would have to spend TRILLIONS on enforcing a gun ban. Screw social security, screw Medicare, screw welfare, screw social services, and screw education. The money needed would shut down all public services as we know it in order to build and maintain an isolationist and NAZI-esq non-gun ownership policy. You live on a large island with no other countries, if I am correct in assuming you live in Melbourne Australia. We live with an open Mexican border in which hundreds of thousands cross, where drugs, weapons, and all kinds of nasty human trafficking occurs. You do not have the same situation there, and unless you fully understand the conditions here you cannot make an argument that will have a good well thought solution.

    The solution lies in the production of these inferior children who grow up in households that are oblivious to their needs, and their psychological conditions and malformations. Take the damn Emo movement as an example - largely harmless to others but a waste of human resources when they go off and commit dramatic suicides or "cut myself to feel alive". Take the backwoods incest driven hillbillies with a genetic pool shallower than death valley in a heat wave, their children are too shallow to actually be good genetic examples for humanity. Take the damn inner city youth who grow up fatherless because daddy is to busy getting his groove on making more than sixty kids and bailing out on the mothers increasing our cost of living. All these children could have been prevented through a eugenics and humane reversible reproductive rights revocation program.

    But nooo... blame the tool man created. Well you know what? I could beat ten people to death with a claw hammer, kill ten with a crowbar, smash the skulls of the innocent with a computer monitor and gouge the eyes out of a baby seal with the parts from inside a computer, not to mention kill a fully grown man with one, or with a pencil, pen, lawnmower, bologna sandwich, keyboard, motor boat, bare hands, bare feet, teeth, light bulb, paper clip or TV remote control up the rectum. Should all of these be banned too? Yes! Lets Amputate all the hands and feet of humans, that way no one can kill each other, especially after we rip the teeth out of everyone! Booyah! Lets stop crime now and have everyone with no teeth, eyes, ears, hands, or feet! Saw? Saw ain't nothing compared to a government bent on safety! And we can start with you if you'd like.

    Sorry, you lost me in the first sentence. So why can't I buy a shoulder mounted Stinger missile? I'm not insane, I do not wish to kill people.

    Please don't tell me that citizens can actually buy Stingers in the USA.


    I don't remember seeing any reports of mass smashing of skulls with computer monitors.
