If a tragic event like what took place in Connecticut has people thinking ''it's the end of the world" or something similar, imagine what innocent Afgan civilians must think? Since 2001, hundreds of civilians have died directly from various NATO airstrikes.

Thousands more are displaced and eventually die from starvation and causes typical from an airstrike..

Lets not get into US led attacks on Iraq back in 03.

Truth is, what about Military? It's terrible what we do and what we're capable of.

Of course it is sad in our own backyards;however, gun control is not the answer.

The government already has too much power.


Again, my thoughts do go out to everyone affected.

collateral damage from strikes on the taliban is not the same as a gunman walking into an elementary school for no reason.

Dirty hippies.

But for real, comparing two different things. You realize civilians purposely don't help NATO troops? Watch a couple documentaries on Youtube and then try to compare them. Totally different. And gun control isn't the answer, people will always find a way to get guns. Meth is illegal, but look at Detroit. They don't give a fuck.

High security in schools is the answer, and before anyone says "we shouldn't need to have security in schools" yeah, obviously we fucking shouldn't, but we need it. So we should. A resource officer per school is just a smart idea. Not even for the Security aspect alone, but the teaching and counseling as well.

Gun control is the dumbest fucking idea. Making guns illegal will surely keep them out of people's hands... just like coke and heroin.

gun control restricts or limits gun possession, production, and importation, not make it illegal

Killing people is killing people.

The word is in a very uneasy state. A fight over resources and a fight over ideologies. We have become so disconnected from one another and the planet. We are living through the exhaustion of our forms of culture.

I would agree about Bankers as well. Wealth has made a tremendous transfer to the few and privileged. Bankers sell debt and trap people in poverty through financial obligations.
