P4B, I lost a friend, possibly more than just one, in a tragic incident today, then some guy starts bashing the situation in this thread calling Americans crazy, so I call him a douchbag and you give ME the infraction? Get off your powertrip and getcha mind right.
just cuz someone pisses you off, doesn't give you the right to insult them... rules are rules...Quote:

Slip, in any other situation I would say true that, but I lost a friend today and what he was saying was totally uncalled for.
"there is not enough darkness in all the world to put out the light of one small candle."
Powertrip? What a joke! The rules are here for all, NO favorites period. Your infraction wasn't a ban so it wasn't all that. I feel for your loss but you need to show control here........that's it.Quote:

I think you gun grabbers are missing the big picture. The number of people that have been disarmed and massacred by their own governments is exponentially higher than the number of people that have been killed by common criminals armed with guns. The real threat comes from agents of the State, not Jamal mugging you for your wallet. This should be the main focus of any anti-victim-disarmament argument.
That being said, Having a gun on Virginia Tech campus was a crime. Therefore, students couldn't defend themselves. All they could do is call 911 and wait for the cops who stayed outside and hid behind trees instead of trying to find the gunman. :thumbsup: Virginia Tech's ban on guns may draw legal fire - Roanoke.com
If the students were allowed to be own a firearm the casualities would be reduced greatly.
Lets PLEASE leave this thread for showing respect to those who suffered today. Slip just made a thread concerning gun control that you can find in politics.......if you need to, make your "gun control" points in that thread.
Have a good one!:jointsmile:
i just realized i haven't actually said anything about the tragedy, i don't want anyone to think i'm an ass or don't care.
i lost a brother, and when everyoen told me they're sorry and they offer their condolonces, i obviously cared, but it didn't help much.... so i really don't know what to say to those who have suffered... i do care, and i wish it never happened... but caring doesn't actually help the heart ache (atleast for me)
so to those who suffered don't think i don't care and was just trying to make gun control arguments... ignoring the pain was how i dealt with it, so if that's how someone else chooses to, i perfer to ignore the subject as well.... there's nothing worse then when you want to forget the pain, and everyone just keeps reminding you...
it also has alot to do with not understanding tho... i'd love at this point to be able to 'explain' it so it doesn't seem so senseless... but the fact is, it is 100% senseless... there is no explination, and that hurts all that much more...
a bowl pack from me goes out to all those whose lost there lives today... may they rest in peace.. god this makes me feel horrible
When I heard it on the news this morning, I was a little hung over, and all I kept hearing was "Asian Male" and the amount of casulties. . . It's sick, and I hope their familys are going to be ok.
Why dont we drop the gun control debate? I just think this thread should be a little more somber
I blocked out this news from my head because it's so damn awful.
RIP Va tech victims. May god be with them on there journey, and let us all pray for the victims families. My hearts with everyone who has lost someone or is worried about someone..
R.I.P.:(
I may be wrong but did Chris rock have a bullet control skit?
And yeah this event blows right before 4/20 damn..
~sigh~
i make a thread specificly to keep this crap away from those in the greiving process, and still, people feel it nessicary to post this crap here.... i guess no one really has respect...
MODS, is it in your ability to move a post, or can you only merge threads?
I was in a school shooting. I saw classmates being shot. one of my good friends got shot in the hand but is still an awesome percussionist.
at any rate.. this bowls in memorial.
whoa, where did you go Jedi Knight?
We can move posts, Slip, but P4B dealt with that one above yours in the way he felt was best, considering its angry, insulting commentary, which in that case involved deleting it. Good decision, if you ask me.Quote:

It could have happened anywhere. I'm so sorry it had to happen at all.
Seems there's a full moon and I've had to pack silver bullets all day in here regarding this thread and more. This WILL remain soley for wishing the best for the families and honoring the dead!Quote:

the kid must have bene really put through alot and really messed around with to be able to do this. think about what was going through his head while doing it, its kind of sad really. he must have been really angry. we should help these people before things get out of hand
so i was reading the article in the newspaper today, and this might have already been mentioned but he chained and locked most of the exits... he had this shit pretty planned out i believe...

You hardly ever see much outrage about that, simply because either it doesn't make great news or people just get bored of it.Quote:
