    Make a machine to do all four things.

    We are lazy, after all. Except when it comes to working hard to make things easier. Then we are supermen.

    And I dont think it takes a lot of balls to kill someone in cold blood. To face the prison system, perhaps, but it feels like pulling the triger is easy on someone innocent if you have a lacking concience like some of the shooters do.

    What would be far more granting of cojones is for these kids who are tempted to shoot up their schools to gather together and stampede/stab their classmates as a rolling phalanx. Tight hallways - No flanking! :wink:

    Once again Mudd, you put words into my mouth, you accuse me of generalizing, for whatever purpose?

    Yes you are violent, you do cut down trees, you do kill children (and adults) and I'm quite sure many of you are 'satanists' (think Atheism). That should account for each and every one of you, if I were to try and put you all into different categories.

    Good God man, you're right. The only thing they're lacking in is organisation and education, without those they wouldn't even think of forming a phalanx.

    Schools in Colorado, hmmmm.... last time I was in Colorado, (7th grade, Falcon Creek Middle School, before that Thunder ridge middle school), they had a strict policy against any kind of implication of having a gun on campus and took any and every matter very seriously.

    Now I am a freshman in college, so I can imagine times have changed. Is Cherry Creek School District still as good as it used to be or have they really lost it?

    The reason, I saw it, that so many kids had guns was a combination of factors
    1. Suburban kids and farm kids went to the same schools and farm kids or kids close to the farms had their daddy's shotguns and so forth to fool around with, then farm kids got ****** off when rish suburb kids ****ed with them, so famr kids killed them.

    2. The area around Denver is a haven for the stereotypical hating white kid, half punk, skater, or whatever, that hated the kids who made fun of him so he got himself into and anarchists crowd and protested the gov't and then shot up his school for it.


    So what are the CO schools like nowadays?

    People are violent, especially in Southern America.
    Around 2002, the number of firearms related murders in the USA was about 11,000 and still is. Every year, Canada, Great Britain, Australia combined have about 400.
    USA - 295,734,134 people
    Canada, UK, Australia - 110,538,894

    So, even with 2.7 times the population, the USA has 27.5 times the murders.
    Why are there more violent people in the USA?

    A. Firearms are legally available here.
    B. Countries like Great Britain have a higher police to square mile ratio.

    You guys also have a lot more dodgey immigrants and poor people meaning going the illegal way is sometimes the only way for these people..then u get gangs from this, which = shoot ups..

    but thats not related to schools..

    There have been incidents in england recently of kids stabbing another pupil, and a lot of the time this is down to a bully making their lives hell, they then get a weapon to fight back with (or to threaten with but it turns out badly).

    theres also the problems of closing down mental health schools here, so all the nutty people are sent to mainstream schools (no exageration here, my mum is a primary school teacher and has had to deal with skitzo's, and people with suicidal tendancies, those are just 2 of many examples. AND this is in an over populated classroom with no help at all)

    so u may have nutty people going into mainstream schools and killing people basically, i know in my old secondary school there was a bit of a psycho who had major mood swings and would throw chairs at people for small things, (he did infact try to 'stab' another pupil with chair legs)

    Games and tv do influence these things i think, but only the ones already 'weak minded'.

    Theres millions (billions?) that play video games, and maybe a few hundred are damaged by them (either killing people, ofr thinking they are in a game and reckon they can fly etc, like that chinese kid and WoW)

    Blaming everything on video games and tv though is not fair, its a combination of things (including bad parentage)

    I think your math is wrong too, we are only 10 times more violent. Also Great Britain and Canada have been known to cover up crime statistics to make it seem safer than it really is.
    evidence for that last claim, please?

    also, both your maths and his maths are spot on. about 300m/110m = 2.7... and 11000/400 = 27.5
    therefore murder rate in the states is - 1 per 30,000
    and murder rate in Aus/UK/Canada is - 1 per 275,000
    or approx 9.2-1.

    and i should point out that the UK is one of the most urbanised places on earth, with one of the highest population densities...

    But in the UK Arms are illegal. This essentially makes a big difference. The US is the world's largest small arms producer, and the largest supplier for commercial use, and it is not willing to ban this "inalienable right"
