columbine shooting.. my opinion.. whats urs?
August 302009
im a 15 year old white girl living in south africa… yeah im kinda goth and listen to metal but whatever.. im really killing to know some arguments on my opinion regarding what happened,, and some of urs too.. will choose best answer
""i blame:
*the music
*the parents
*the violent video games
*cartoons
*south park
*bullying
*t.v.
*drugs
*marilyn manson""
hey heres an idea kids.. why dont we blame the actual people who pick up the gun, walk into school and empty it into their peers??
are half of the people who throw around the above acusations aware that on the day the shooting occured in columbine that the president of the united states dropped more bombs on coast lavol than any other time during the war?
10 DAYS after the columbine shooting occured a state official hosted a pro guns ralley.. referring to anti fire arm remarks he stated "from my cold dead hands" wielding a rifle above his head, the crowds reaction was thunderous applause. marilyn manson cancelled his tour in respect of them even though in reality he has no blame behind it. when asked what he would have said to the boys who shot up their school he replied, "nothing. i wouls have listened to what they had to say, because no body did that for them"
who, in this situation is showing more logic and empathy to the masacre? yet who did america choose to blame?
so what was the united states reaction to the columbine shooting? they started a blits on all the kids in schools… they were no longer alowed to wear their shirts untucked, wear baggy pants, or adorn any symbols that may be related to gang associations. an 8 year old was suspended from school for bringing a pair of nail clippers to class, the authorities stating that they were a weapon. another primary school child was expelled for pointing a piece of chicken at his teacher and saying bang bang. another 8 year old was sent home after pointing a gun shaped folded piece of paper at his class mates in a game of copas and robbers. a high school boy was expelled for dying his hair blue, another for wearing a scottish outfit to his high school dance with a FAKE traditional knife attached to his kilt..
the reason kids would shoot up their high school is because they are angry at the way that they are treated there.. and now authorities have the audacity to make life even more hellish for them by suppressing them even further??? when in reality the boys responsible for columbine just walked right on in.. even if ppl had been checking their bags, the masacre would have occured ANYWAY.. the same case is with the samari incident in krugersdorp..
how can society, the peopkle of america, blame the music, the hair, the toenail clippers.. THE CHICKEN!!!! when they are so goddamn pro fire arms?? when a pro gun ralley can be run 10 days later.. when in actual fact the guns that eric harris and dylan klebold perchased to shoot up their school were actually bought leggally?
the united states needs to sort out their priorities
After venting like that you should have realized its not the guns that killed, it was the intent of the kids using them. Legal or illegal its the humans that use them. So yes lets rally and never loose our Constitutional right to own, carry and use them. This country is based on a Constitution and one reason the second admendment was put there was to protect ourselves and property and also protect ourselves from a goverment that wants us to abide by there policies such as Socialism, Marxism, Communism and Dictatorships. So keep your guns learn how to use them and always be free. Thats the difference between the the world and United States of America. So live free or die.

People can try to pin it on video games or the music.Heck, maybe this kid had a fucked up family life, or was beaten, or something bad happened to him that really messed him up.Sure he probably got bullied at school, just like everyone else.Even if he was tormented by his peers more than other students were is that really an excuse? A lot of people go through very traumatic experiences in their life,a lot of people are bullied in high school, a lot of people play video games.They don’t go out and shoot up their school,or the local mall,or the offices where they work.There is no excuse for these acts, and they can only be justified as saying that these people had very little self control, and didn’t care about the consequences of their actions.
It’s one thing to feel sorry for the people who do these things, but it’s another to try to blame all these different factors in their lives, that othr people put up with and do daily.
The government, as corrupt and useless as it is proving to be, is also NOT to blame,if you ask me, we are all upset about they way our country is handled.I’m 17 years old I HATED SCHOOL ,I hated the people there, I hated the work we were doing, I hated the way it was being run.I hated it.i dropped out got my GED and moved on with my life.Putting up with the crappy educational system in this country is optional.There are alternative methods for everything.If there is one thing we have in this country it is options.We can’t go blaming other sourced for these acts.The fact of the matter is, these people no matter what their situation was, how terrible life was growing up for them, or if they listened to a certain type of music or played graphic and violent video games, SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR ACTIONS. THE BLAME SHOULD BE PUT ON THEM, AND THEM ALONE.People need to own up to what they do in this life,because no else will take responsibility for them.

you took a good argument and completely ruined it with anti gun gayness, I mean c’mon, you live in South Africa, where you have to carry a gun just to do the shopping, and well done quoting the king of lies and deception Michael Moore, he spliced together two separate speeches at two separate gun rallies, which we’re scheduled at those places, and unlike Marilyn Manson they weren’t allowed by state law to reschedule.
