It's on TOL.
I think some of them post here.
Our crazies could beat your crazies in a crazy off any day.
Of what?
Like mass shootings?
Got those?
That would most likley be due to the gun shortage.
Did they take away all your swords too?
First, two words;
Lexington and Concord.
You need to understand that our country is founded on one thing.
Not letting anyone take our guns away.
And we never will. If you take our guns away then you can do whatever you want to us because we'll be defensless.
And that will never happen.
Our problem is not too many guns, it's that we don't carry them enough.
There's enough guns in our country for every person young or old to have one, but what we see is only the crazies show up with one.
The rest of us seem to leave ours at home.
You will never remove guns from the USA.

Are you brain dead or something? Is murder getting more or less frequent in the US with God being pushed aside....

Get a grip.
Are you trying for a new low for yourself here by dragging your union schtick into this?
The mother is dead, shot by her own son, along with over 20 children and other teachers. And you're strutting your union spiel around? Seriously?

Then how do you explain the fact that countries that have 70-90% (USA sitting at an embarrsingly low ~45%) popular acceptance of the theory of evolution (not the same as "pushing God aside", even though I'm sure you will insist otherwise) generally have murder rates that are a fraction of the murder rates found in the US?
Also, historically speaking, the murder rates in the US have not gone up, they have decreased greatly:
http://marginalrevolution.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/Violence-Stylized-2.png
They increased from the 1960-1990 period, but has declined ever since that.
It was Inzl Kett that implied that there was a causal link between the acceptance of a scientific theory and the murder rate. I still see no evidence of that claim, the evidence shows the opposite correlation in every other modern country.
I am not making the claim that creationism is leading to an increase in murder rates, I'm merely claiming that the opposite claim seems to be obviously false judging from the evidence.
Do you actually have an argument based on data or do you prefer to hide behind childish namecalling?
It's a valid question. One I hadn't considered. Unions are known to protect those in the union without considering the welfare of the those around it.
I am fearful when a tragedy strikes and we get into the blame placing by innuendo.
We might do better to spend our energies praying for those heart-broken parents as well as that whole community than immediately spewing unfounded ideas about blame.
Let the authorities do their job.
For the sake of all the children who escaped the carnage let us focus on their well being in the immediate future.
I was the mother of four small girls when, years ago, a man named Richard Speck, murdered six student nurses in cold blood.
I walked into my children's bedroom where they lay peacefully sleeping and stifled panic-stricken sobs of overwhelming fear at our vulnerability.
I knew I had to get a grip and I did.
Mainly, I decided to let my love for my children be my daily guiding force.
I pray that, once the authorities have finished gathering the facts in this tragedy we may come up with some concrete ideas to protect against it happening again.
God bless the parents, fellow students, faculty, police officers and neighbors of these innocents.
I wonder if you belong to the human race.

the question asked is what can be done to prevent this?
just ask more questions
why is there so much hatred directed at schools?
why do teachers storm the capital?
to protect the children?
or
to protect themselves?
sorry
if
these questions upset you

That kind of violence isn't just directed at schools. It's directed at crowds. That's why you have the same thing happening at a movie theatre or a post office or a McDonalds.
What is your answer to that question?

My solution is begin to think less in terms of equality and more in terms of fraternity.
It's NOT the questions that are upsetting, but rather your motive for asking them.
You are clearly more interested in using this tragedy as a way to trump your party ... that's sick.
Won't you allow us to grieve this day the loss of our own innocents?
Please don't globalize and thereby trivialize this tragedy.
