why do these massacres in schools always happen in these countries?

why not in india, brasil, spain etc.?

we are some fucked up societies...

I just read about this...very sad. To answer your question...um, well there is certainly violence in those other countries you mentioned, but as far as school shootings, who's to say.

"easier access to guns" seems to be the default guess.

sure, this is a factor, no doubt.
but after all, some metal music and some computer games will be blamed again.
it's about frustration and the ability to deal with tough circumstances in life, or lack of that.
(though here the guys' dad was in this sports shooting club, don't know a better term for it.)

i think there was a school shooting in india a few years ago. also, canada has had its fair share of these.

it only makes international news when white people kill each other.

how close are you to winnenden, berliner?

this dude would like a word:

my uneducated guess:
1) Western media is based in these countries for the most part
2) more people in these countries go to school
3) access to guns, media, etc.

I fully expect an Obner to go on a mass killing spree one day.

In fact, I should start being nicer because I fear I might be on one of your lists.

quite far away, it's in the south (stuttgart) and I'm in the north-east. so, I guess at least 800 km.

But I fuckin' hate fuckin' Collective Soul!

Also, how 'bout you, Kingfish, & [redacted] go triple-dong each other in the ass, ok?

l want to take this opportunity to apologize to you, Monty for any basement dwelling comments I've made in the past.

If you could photoshop "Fractured Take" onto that list (nicely), I would be impressed.

the media has its explanation again: the guy used to play counterstrike and other similar games...
is this an issue in the US as well? I mean, to blame computer games for these things?
I still remember the made up connection between marilyn manson and columbine, that was almost funny...

listening to the decemberists kind of makes me want to blow shit away

Counterstrike doesn't make violent, pimply freaks, it just attracts them.

I would go further and say, counterstrike may be a way to canalize aggressions but then there are these people who need more...
it can never increase the amount of aggression nor create it.

I think a more interesting thing is that these have pretty much all been done by males. Not shocking, but interesting.

I thought about that, too. seems just not to be womens style.

In my experience, most girls take out their aggression on a cock.

Do you mean by cutting it off?

Men like to get things done. Right. Now.
(That and they aren't in touch with their feelings.)

yeah, if video games did exist they'd blame the shootings on d&d or ucf or some other shit.
